Specification of Letters Patent.

Application tiled April 4, 1906. Serial klo 309,841.
To all whom, t muy concern:
Be it known that l, HENRY B. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State ot' Minnesota, have invented certain new and useul Improvements in Clothes- Line Fasteners and Stretchers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description otl 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 accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciiication.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in clothes-line fasteners; and the object of the invention is to produce an apparatus of this nature which will be automatic in its action and comprises a pivotal cam member mounted upon a plate which is detachably held upon a fixed socket member.
The invention consists, further, in various details of construction and combinations an d arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.
My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation of the socket member adapted to carry the cani-holding plate. Fig. 1l is a sectional view on line a' a; otl Fig. 1. Fig. 2 is a face view of the camholding member. Fig. 2b is a side elevation of the plate, cam, and rope, said cam being shown in a clamping relation by dotted lines, Fig. 2b also showing the rope in dotted lines in the position it would assume when being held by the clamp. Fig. 3 is a detail face view of the cam. Fig. 3a is a side elevation of the cam. Fig. 3b is an end view of the cam, and Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the various parts assembled. i
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings, A designates a socket-plate having an opening a formed in the lower portion thereof, and c designates screws which are passed through the socket member and adapted to hold the same to a fixed object, such as a post or otherwise. The upper portion of said socket member is recessed, as at A2, and has two outwardly-curved arms A3. B designates a T-shaped plate having the laterally-projecting wings B', adapted to engage the shoulders A" behind the arms A3, and Bl designates lugs projecting from the opposite edges oi the plate B, and B3 is a pin carried in apertures in said lugs upon which a cam O is pivotally mounted. The lower end of the plate B is constricted and is slightly curved, as seen clearly in Figs.`2, 2b, and 4 et the drawings, and the lower end oi` said plate is adapted to engage the aperture a in the socket member A, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4.
l) designates a rope which rests in the groove C', Vformed in the upper edge of the cam member, which serrated edge is preterably milled or provided with a roughened surface, and the rope passes between the cam and the plate supi'iorl'iing the latter' and bearing against the convexed surface et the cam, as shown in Fig. 2b of the drawings. /Vhen the line is Weighted, it will be observed that the roughened surface of the cam will be caused to frictionally engage and clamp the rope against the plate, i hereby securely holding the rope from slipping. lt will thus be seen that the tightening ot the rope will be entirely automatic, as when it is desired to tighten the same a person merely pulls down upon the end of the rope below the cam, and the cam will automatically loosen to allow the slack to be taken up, and the extra strain coming upon the cuter end of the cam after the latter has been brought taut will hold the latter' trom slipping.
What l claim isl. A clothes line holder comprising a socket member designed to be attached4 to a wall or other Yfixed object, said member having a recess at its ripper' end and forwardlyextending arms, a plate having laterally-projecting portions adapted to rest upon shoulders behind said arms, lugs upon said plate, and a cam pivotally mounted upon said lugs, as set forth.
2. A clothes line holder comprising a socket member designed to be attached to a wall or other [ixed object, said member hav- IOO ing a recess at its upper end and forwardlycam member mounted upon said pin, as set extending arms a plate having laterally-proforth. Io
jeeting portions adapted to rest' upon shouli In testimony whereof I hereunto afIiX my ders behind said arms, the lower portion of signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
said plate being oonstrieted and curved and HENRY B. NORTON. adapted to engage an aperture in said socket Witnesses:
member, lugs projecting from said plate, a R. B. HosTETTER,
pin mounted in apertures in said lugs, and a R. VAN BRUNT.
