CLOTHES-LINE CLAMP.
3"?EC'EIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 744,241, dated November 17, 1903.
Application filed August 29, 1903. SerialNo.171,165- (NdmodelJ- .122 all whom it map/concern.-
Be it known that we, JOHN RUPP and AU- GUST LOEHR,citizens of the United States, and residents of NewYork city, State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Olothes-Line Olamps, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a clamp for readily connecting the ends of a clothes-line, the
construction being such that lines of differ-' ent diameters may readily be engaged by one and the same clamp.
1n the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of our improved clothes-line clamp; Fig. 2, a top view thereof; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section of the clamp; Fig. 4, a similar section showing the parts in a different position; and Fig. 5, a cross-section on line 5 5, Fig. 1, with the lever and rope omitted.
The letter a represents a plate provided near one end with a pair of depending lugs o, the whole constituting a U -shaped frame. Between the lugs a the plate a is slotted, as at a such slot being bound at one end by a transverse arm or abutment a By the lugs to is supported centrally across the slot a a pivot 1), upon which turns the clamping-lever c. The upper end of this lever, which is free to pass upward and outward through the slot a is provided with an upper long horn c and a lower short horn 0 The minimum distance between the short horn c and the inner edge of the abutment a is slightly less than the diameter of a thick clothes-line A to be clamped, while the minimum distance between the long horn c and the inner edge of the abutment is slightly less than the diameter of a thin clothes-line B to be clamped.
In use one end of line A is secured to an eye a of plate a, and its other end is passed 'up and down through slot a and over the lever c, Fig. 1. The lever is then swungdown with its upper end until the line is clamped between the abutment a and the lower short horn 0 Fig. 3. If the thin line B is to be clamped, the lever c is swung down slightly farther, so that the line is engaged by the abutment o and the upper long horn 0'. Thus itwill be seen that lines of diiferent diameters may be readily engaged by one and the same clamp.
What we claim is Ina clothes-line clamp, a slotted frame having an abutment at one end of the slot, combined with a lever pivoted to the frame and
