JOHN J. HUGHES, OF EVANS MILLS, NEXV YORK.
CLOTH Es- LlNE FASTENER.
spncrrren'rron forming part of Letters Patent No. 339,551, dated April 6, 1886.
Application filed July 2, 1865. Serial No. 170,520. (No model.)
To all 1072/0712 it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN J. HUGHES, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Evans Mills, in the county of Jefferson and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes Line Fasteners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a I part of this specification.
My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in clothesline pulleys; and my invention consists in the construction and combination of the parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and specifically pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is a side view of my improved clothes-line pulley, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional View.
A represents a casing, which is provided at one end with a hook, A, which is located above the longitudinal center of said casing, so that when the casing is suspended the body portion of the casing will normally be held in a horizontal position. Within the casing is pivotally secured a pulley or sheave, B, which rotates freely upon the journal I), which has hearings in opposite sides of the casing A. The pulley B is grooved peripherally.
The sides of the casing A are connected to I each other at one end by the base portion of the hook A and at the other end by the transverse bars or connecting portions 0 O.
, other end is smooth and is curved in an opposite direction, as shown at f. The rope adjacent to the portion f of the catch D will nor mally lie upon the upper portion thereof, so
that when the catch is released, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 2, the rope will lie upon said end, while the opposite end is entirely free from the rope. Thus when the rope is drawn in the direction indicated by the arrows the end e of the catch will be moved into contact with the rope, so as to fasten the same.
The operation of my invention is as follows: When the rope which passes over the pulley B is drawn in the direction indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2, the catch will be brought in contact with the rope, and will press the same against the cross-bar C of the casing, so as to bind the rope and hold it securely. \Vhen it is desired to tighten the clothes-line, by pulling the rope in an opposite direction it will loosen the catch and allow the rope to pass freely beyond said catch.
By means of the device hereinbefore described elothes-lines can be readily attached to the supporting-posts, and may be tightened by simply drawing upon the free end of the rope, and when it is desired to release the rope it can be done by holding the latch raised, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and when in the position shown the line may move freely over the pulley.
By providing the casing with a hook, which is located above the longitudinal center of the same, the line of draft will be such as to cause the rope to always exert a bearing on the end f of the catch.
I claim- In a clothes-line pulley and fastening, a casing provided with a book, A, and cross-bars c C, in combination with a peripherallygrooved pulley journaled between the side pieces, and a catch, D, pivoted adjacent thereto, said catch being provided with a serrated end, 6, thnmb-piece (Z, and curved end f, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
JOHN J. HUGHES.
