FRANKLIN KIRKPATRICK, OF RIDDLES, OREGON.
CLOTHES-PIN.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 782,666, dated February 14, 1905.
Application filed October 31, 1903. $erial No. 179,392.
To all whom it may concern:
dles, in the county of Douglas and State of Oregon. have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pins, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in clothes-pins; and its object is to provide a device of this character formed of one strip of metal and which is adapted to be securely mounted upon a line, but can be moved to any position thereon.
A further object is to provide a clothes-pin having two engaging portions whereby either one or two articles may be fastened in posi-, tion thereby.
Another object is to provide grips integral with the clothes-pin, by means of which the engaging devices can be simultaneously raised from the line.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form of my invention, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the clothes-,
and is extended forward to form laterally-ex tending loops 4, which constitute contacts or grips, and oppositely-extending arms 5 pro ject from these contacts and terminate in two or more coils 6, which are of the same size. The ends of the wire extend across the coils 6 and are hooked to engage the coil farthest removed therefrom, as shown at 7.
The hook 1 is adapted to be placed upon a clothes-line 8 and bent thereover, so as to prevent the clothes-pin from becoming accidentally detached. As this hook is located at the center of the pin, it will be understood that said pin will be normally supported thereby in a horizontal position. Then it is desired to fasten one or more articles upon a line by means of the pin, the same is inverted, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, and the contacts 1 are placed between the thumb and first finger of the hand and pressed toward each other, thereby swinging the coils 6 and their arms 5 upward. The articles are then placed upon the line under the coils 6, and when the contacts 4: are released the coils 6 will swing downward and will receive the line and the articles thereon therebetween. Any desired number of coils may be employed, and it will be understood that the greater the number used the more readily the pin can be placed in engagement with the line. The coils 3 permit the arms 5 and coils 6 to be readily swung upward or downward.
The clothes-pin is formed in a single length of spring metal and can be of such a nature as not to injure any fabrics contacted thereby. The transversely-extehding ends 7 of the wire limits the downward movements of the coils upon the line and prevent the same from becoming entangled therewith. The laterally-extending loops 4 form grips against which the fingers can be conveniently pressed without injury thereto.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- A clothes-pin formed in a single length of spring metal coiled at its ends to form similar loops for receiving therebetween clothes upon a line to which the pin is connected, the coils being provided with transversely-extending portions at the tops thereof for limiting their downward movement, inclined arms extending toward each other from the coils and terminating in loops arranged in parallel planes and at right angles to the plane in which the arms are located, converging arms extending from the loops and merging into oppositelydisposed spring-coils, and a hooked loop connecting said spring-coils and adapted to engage a clothes-line.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FRANKLIN KIRKPATRICK. Witnesses:
