'10 all "whom it may concern: 1

Be it'known that I, FRANK 'Vtc'ron PQLA' KoskEY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Peekskill, in, the county of Vest chest-er and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Clothes-Line Pulleys, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to endless clothesa pulley adapted to use of a clothes pin that forms the subject of my application for whereby the pin will follow the clothes-line dislodgment, or of forming, or meeting with The object is attained by the means set forth in these specifications and the accompasilnilar parts throughout the several views.

F gure I is aside view of the pulley. Fig.

line-incross-section and a clothes pin on the line;

A view of the, clothes pin referred to is shown at 'm, Fig. Ill. It is provided with; extended spring-arms n 'n, the latter shaped to the line, and adapted to open when the pin is. opened. Instead of the pin being used to grasps the garment and the other end of the pin clamps over the line, the pin hanging on the line, the garment from the pin.

The upper halfof Fig. 1, above the linel,

having thehook-eye d and the broadened.

extending through the sheave and the wheel The lower half, however, is quite dill'ercut. The lower hall of the sheave a is the same as the upper hall, and the lower half f of the yoke A is the same up to where it would change its form to be united with the sheave,

that are curvcd concentric with the sheave, but having a larger radius than the sheave, and dro ping below the sheave, as in Figs. II

nection with the under side of the sneave. The difference between the radii of the sheave and the arms is such as to give a vertical clearance between the two, as at Z, Figs. 1 and II, to allow for the passage of the clothes pins.

In. the end view of the pulley in Fig. III, 0 represents the clothes line, and n n and'm the clothes pin. The pin will hang vertically from the line, and the curved parts a willreadily adaptthemselves to the groove in the pulley. The straight parts a of the pin will lie together parallel or nearly so, and as the pin approaches the pulley the rounded points 2, 2 of the arms will'guide the pins into the channel 2. It will be obvious that the pin cannot be displaced from the line,nor is there any way for its passage around the pulley to become obstructed.

The sheave a and the yoke A may be made in one piece as well as in two as shown.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

1. The combination of a sheave and pulley with a yoke,.attached thereto, one arm of the yoke secured to-one side of the sheave with the open end of the sheave toward the closed end of the yoke, the other arm of the yoke bifurcated and extended around the free side pf the sheave away from the plane of the pul- 2. The combination of a sheave and pulley with a yoke, the yoke attached to one side of the sheave with the open end of the sheave toward the closed end of the yoke, an eye on the yoke, the free arm of the yoke divided and curved around the free side of the sheave witli a radius greater than that of the pulley.

and sheave and. in a plane away from that of the pulley Signed at Peckskill in the county of Westchcster and State of New York this thirteenth day of August A. D. 1906.
