WILLIS A. JENNINGS, OF MCKEES ROCKS, PENNSYLVANIA.
PINLESS CLOTH ES-LlNE.
SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent N 0. 725,447, dated April 14,1903.
Application filed August 23, 1902 T0 @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIS A. .IENN1NGs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mc- Kees Rocks, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Pinless Clothes-Line, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates generally to clotheslines, and more particularly to one intended to securelyhold the clothes thereon without the use of clothes-pins commonly employed.
VVith'this object in view the invention consists,`essentially,of a clothes-line composed of two strands twisted together, said strands being separated at predetermined points and having clasping-blocks connected thereto, the article to be held being clasped between the said blocks.
The invention also comprises the use of a coiled spring connected to the strands of the clothes-line for the purpose ofmaintaining a tension upon Vthe strands, and therebyfholding the clasp'ingblocks'together.
The inventionconsists also in certain details of constructionl and novelties of combination, all of which will be fully described hereinafter and pointed-out in the claims.
In the drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 isa perspective viewillustrating the practical application of my invention. Fig. 2 isa .top planA view of a clothes line constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 3 is an enlarged view, partly in section and partly in elevation. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view showing the manner of clasping the clothes. Fig. 5. is a detail perspective view showing'one form of clasping-lock. Fig. 6 is 'an end view of the same. Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are detail views showing a slight-lymodified construction of clasping` block.
In carrying out my invention I construct a clothes-line A of two strands Aiand A2, said strands being twisted together,as shown at A3,] and at regular intervals the strands are separated, as shown at A4, and claspingblocks B are attached to theseparatedstrands. These i olasping-blocks are preferably cylindrical in form,the strands passing through the'longitu- *Serial No. '120;8172. (No model.)
dinal axis thereof, and these blocks can be made in a single piece or they can be made in.
two pieces, and when made in two pieces the sections can be held together by means of a pin B/ orby means of an encircling wire B2. The clothes-line A is stretched between any two xed pieces, and in Fig. l I have shown the line as arranged between two posts C, and in order to secure a tension upon the strands I arrange a coil-spring D, which is connected at onef end to one post, the' opposite end of the spring being connected to the clothes-line. It will thus be seen that the normal tendency of the spring and the twisted strands of the clothes-line are to hold theI clasping-blocks together, and any article inserted between the clasping-blocks will be securely held therein. Itis also obvious that in order to insert the said article of clothing it will only be necessary to grasp one clasping-block and pull it slightly away from the other and insert the `cloth between the `two", the elasticity of the strands vand the coil-spring permitting such actions. It will thus be seen that I provide an exceedingly cheap, simple, and efficient construction of clothes -line which will entirely avoid the use of clothes-pins for the purpose of fastening the clothes to the line.
I-Iaving thus fully described my invention,
what I claim as new, and` desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A clothes-line comprising ltwo strands twisted together, saidstrands being separated at intervals, the separated strands having clasping-blocks connected thereto, said clasping-blocks being adapted to contact with each other for the purpose specified.
2. A clothes-line comprising two strands twisted together, said strands being separated at intervals, clasping-blocks connected to the separated strands, said blocks being adapted to contact with each other and a spring connected to one end of the clothes-line, for the purpose specified.
