- To all whom it may concern:
- from each other.
Be it known that I, ANDREW G. BoRNEMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing in Athenia, county of Passaic, and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Clothes Pins; and I do hereby declarethe followin to be a full, clear, and exact description 0? the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanye ing drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention is an improvement in clothespins and the like, having for its object to provide a device of this nature which, while adapted to securely hold a garment on the line, will permit the ready removal of the garment without danger of tearing'or otherwise damaging it.
A further object is to so construct the device that it may be removedfrom the line without necessarily detaching it from the garment, so that if the garment and pin become frozen together the pin may be removed afterward within doors. It is aimed to effect both these objects, furthermore, without materially increasin the cost of manufacture overthat of or inary clothespms. v
My invention is illustrated in two figures 'in the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows the clothes-pin holdin the garment on the line, and Fig. 2 being a rront elevation of the clothes-pin alone.
In the drawings, a, b,and c are three members which are connected together at or near one end in the adaptation shown by a nail or other headed device 11, which .isnsecured in the member a, and so loosely penetrates the members I) and c that at their other ends the three members are movable to and Members at and b are preferably fiat throughout their length on their inside surfaces e and f, (since between these surfaces the garment is adapted to be clasped,) except for a transverse recess g in one of said surfaces and a coinciding transverse rib h on the other. When the garmentis clasped between members a and b, the coinciding recess and rib augment the grip of ,said members thereon. I
i designates finger-recesses in members a and b to facilitate opening them.
j is a washer which is interposed between members a and b and is penetrated by the nail d and acts to prevent members a and b from freezing or otherwise sticking together.
it is a screw or other headed device which extends through members a, b, and 0, being mounted in one of the two members a or c and loosely penetrating the other two. The device is preferably a screw so that by manipulating it adjustment of the distance which the three members are capable of being spaced from each other can be effected.
In order that the pin can be'removed from the line without necessarily removing it from a the garment, a spiral spring Z, coiled on the device is and interposed between members I) and c, is provided, such spring thus acting to normally press members a and I) together.
In using the device the garment is clasped between members a and b, as above described, and then the line mintroduced between members b and c, the effect of which is to press members a and b together. In order to facilitate the line entering between members I) and c, the free ends of the latter are beveled oil on the inside, as shown.
Havin thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The combination of three separate members and means for connecting them together in face-to-face relation to each other for move- 3. The combination of three separate mem- 1 oo bers,a headed device connecting said members together at one end and mounted in one and penetrating the other two of said members, and means for maintaining said members in face-to-face relation to each other located 10;;
between the ends of said members, said means limiting the movement of the outer two of said members away from each other, substantially as described.
4. The combination of three separate mem- I 10 bers, means for securing them together at one end, and a headed screw located between the ends of said members and screwed into one and penetratin the other two of said members, substantia 1y as described.
5. The combination of three separate members, means for securing them together at one end, a headed screw located between the ends of said members and screwed into one and I0 penetrating the other two of said members and a spring interposed between two of said members, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of March, 1905.
ANDREW e. BORNEMAN.
