CLOTHES-PIN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 639,259, dated December 19, 1899.
Application filed July 2, 1898. Serial No. 685,076. (No model.)
T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WALTER Lowrnn MAR- TIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Moffatts Creek, in the county of Augusta and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Clothes-Pin, of which the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in clothes-pins.
The objectof the presentinvention is to improve the construction of clothes-pins and to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient one designed to be substantially permanently mounted on a line to prevent it from becoming lost and capable of ready adjustment along a clothes-lino to position it properly with relation to the fabric to be clamped and adapted to engage the same both above and below the line to prevent a garment from slipping along the latter.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of trating the arrangement of the clam pin g-coils relative to the same.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlugs.
1 designates a substantially U shaped clothes-pin constructed of a single piece of resilient wire or similar material and composed of sides 2 and 3, connected at the bottom of the pin by a spring-coil 5, and the side 3 is provided at the top of the pin with a transverse portion or arm 4, terminating in a 1100K 6, which is adapted to engage the side 2, whereby the clothes-pin is locked in its engaging position. The sides 2 and 3 are provided at the center of the clothes-pin with engaging coils 7, arranged in pairs and adapted to clamp a garment or other fabric on a line by engaging the same at the top and bottom of the latter, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3 of the accompanying drawings,whereby the garment is eli'ectually prevented from slipping along the line. The coils 7, which are located at opposite sides of the clothesline 8, are spaced apart sufficiently to engage a garment at the top and bottom of the line, and the said garment is clamped at both sides of the line, as well as at the top and bottom.
In order to prevent the clothespin from becoming accidentally lost, it is provided at one side adjacent to the coils '7 with a centrally arranged vertical eye 9, arranged at right angles to the horizontal claurpingeyes 7 and preferably formed by coiling the side 3, as clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The vertical eye 9 may consist of either a single or a double coil, and it permits the clothes-pin to slide along the line to bringit in proper position and is capable of preventinga clothes-pin from becoming accidentally lost.
The invention has the following advantages: The clothes-pin, which is constructed of a single piece of Wire, possesses great strength and durability and is not liable to break and cannot become lost. It is adapted to be adjusted along a clothes-line and is capable of clamping a garment both above and below the line and at opposite sides thereof and of preventing the said garment from sliding along the latter.
Changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
lVhat I claim is l. A substantially U-shaped clothes-pin, the side portions of which are provided at in termediate points with oppositely-located cooperating clamping-coils, one of the arms having an eye located adjacent to one of theengaging coils and designed to receive the clothes-line, combined with means at the extremities of the arms for holding the latter together,whereby the engagement of the coils with each other and the clothes-line is maintained, substantially as described.
2. A substantially Ushaped clothes-pin, both sides of which are provided at points intermediate their ends with oppositely-located cooperating clamping-coils serving to engage a clothes-line on opposite sides, combined with means at the extremities of the sides for tachahly engaging the other side, substanholding the sides toward each other and maintiaiiy as described.
taining the engagement of the coils with each In testimony that I claim the foregoing as other and the line, substantially as described. my own I. have hereto affixed my signature in 3. A clothes-pin comprising two sides prothe presence of two Witnesses.
