DAVID WILSON, OF FORT GAY, WEST VIRGINIA.
CLOTHES-PIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 602,970, dated Apri126, 1898.
Application filed June 1, 1897. Serial No. 638,847. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, DAVID WILSON, of Fort Gay, in the county of Wayne and State of est Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pins; 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.
This invention relates to improvements in clothes-pins; and the object of the same is to provide a pin which is movable upon the clothes-line, said pin being so constructed as to constitute a quadruple fastener.
The invention consists in the novelfeatures of construction hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed.
In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 shows the fastener in position on the clothes-line, with one of its fasteners securing an article to the line. Fig. 2 is a similar View showing all four of the fasteners of the pin securing articles to the line, and Fig. 3 is a view of the pin detached from the line.
The fastener is formed of a single piece of wire, having the convolution 1 formed intermediate its ends and having the portions on the opposite sides of the convolution curved upwardly, as illustrated at 2, and then bent downwardly at 3, the extremities being bent to form loops 4, such loops extending in directions opposite to each other.
In operation the pin is placed upon the clothes-line, said line passing through the convolution. The articles to be fastened upon the line are positioned thereon and the side portions of the main loop bear against the articles and hold the same against the clothesline, thus securing the same thereon. An
article may also be secured in a similar manner by either of the looped extremities of the fastener, as illustrated in Fig. 2.
By having the ends of the spring-fasteners looped, sharp points are dispensed with, to tear or injure the articles.
Either one of the extremities may be used without the other, and the device is just as effective in operation. I
Thus it will be seen that I have produced a clothes-fastener which is adapted to secure four different articles upon the line at the same time and which is extremely simple in construction and efiective in operation.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
A clothes pin or holder composed of a single piece of wire formed with a single central convolution of larger diameter as compared with the diameter of the clothes-line upon which it is to be placed, said convolution furnishing bearing-points between which and the clothes-line an article may be clasped and held, and having laterally-extending arms substantially in the same plane with the central convolution, the lateral extensions being bent upwardly to extend outside of or beyond the dimensions of the central convolution, and then downwardly and finally having their extremities turned or bent to form loops at right angles with the central convolution, the loops extending in opposite directions, substantially as described.
a In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DAVID WILSON.
