Description

.No. 886,245. PATEN-TED APR. 28, 1908. w. A. PUGH. GLOYTHES PIN.
APPLICATION FILED JULY 3, 1906.
Q Vi in zoom UNITED STATES AENTOFFICE.
WILLIAM A. PUGH, DADEVILLE, MISSOURI.
CLOTHE S-PIN.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM A. PUGH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dadeville, in the county of Dade and State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Clothes-Pins, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to clothes pins, and its primary object is to provide a device of this character adapted'to be constructed of a single strand of wire and to be adjustably secured to a clothes line against accidental displacement.
A further object of my invention is to provide a clothes pin which is simple and durable, which will retain an article upon a clothes line against accidentalv displacement, and which may be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists of the construction, combination and arrangement of parts here inafter fully described, claimed and illus trated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a side elevation, illustrating the application of my improved clothes-pin. Fig. 2 is a top lan view thereof. Fig. 3 is a section on the ine 3-3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is an end elevation.
My invention is adapted to be constructed of a single strand of highly elastic wire treated to prevent rusting.
To iorm the clothes-pin, the strand is bent at a oint intermediate its length to provide a co ed expansion spring 2, through the medium of which the pin is adapted to be secured to a clothes line. After the spring 2 has been formed, the strand is extended laterally in both directions beyond the spring to provide arms 3, which, when the pin is in applied position, are located below the clothes line. The strand is then bent upward at right angles to the arms 3 to provide arms 3, then bent to provide coiled contractile springs 4 and thence bent downwardly to provide arms 4 gether with the springs 4, form clamps, the clamping members of which are firmly pressed against the clothes line to secure an article thereon against displacement. The expansion of the spring 2 holds the arms 3 The arms 3 and 4 to- Patented April 28, 1908.
Serial No. 324,646.
- downwardly below the clothes line, thereby at all times retaining the clamping members in clamping position u on the clothes line. After the arms 4* are 'ormed, the strand is bent inwardly towards the spring 2 to provide arms 5, which are bent inwardly in reverse directions to provide hook-members arranged within the spring 2 and consisting of vertical portions 6 and horizontal ortions 7. The clothes-pin is adapted to e secured to a clothes line by passing the line between the oonvolutions of the spring 2 at a point above the horizontal portions 7 of the hookmembers 6, which prevent the accidental displacement of the clothes-pin. The vertical portions of the hook-members 6 are disposed on opposite sides of the clothes line, for a purpose to be presently stated. When it is desired to secure articles to the clothes line, the clamps are adapted to be disengaged from the clothes line by being moved upwardly, after which the articles may be positioned uponthe line. After the articles have been properly positioned upon the line, the clamps are released, whereupon the spring 2 moves the same downwardly into clamping position upon the line. The clamping members of the clamps are separated more or less according to the thickness of the articles, this separation of the clamping members bein limited by the engagement of the vertica portions of the hook-members 6 with the clothes line, whereby all liability of the horizontal portions 7 of the hook-members 6 being withdrawn from beneath the clothes line and thus releasing the clothes-pin, is obvi- Having fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claim is:
A clothes-pin comprising an expanslon spring adapted to recelve a llne, an arm forming an integral part of the spring and adapted 1 neath the line and its Vertical portion to one to be held below the clothes-line thereby, a side thereof. 10 clamp forming an integral part of the arm, In testimony whereof, I affix my signature and another arm forming an integral part of in presence of two witnesses.
