Description
UNIE
SAMUEL ALDRICH, OE SPRINGFIELD, VERMONT.
CLOTHES-PIN.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL ALDRICH, of Springfield, Windsor county, in the State of Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clothes-Pins or Holders for Securing Clothing, &c.,to the Line or Supporting-Cord While Drying; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, A, A, being the two jaws or grippers (which may be of wood, bone, ivory, metal or any hard firm substance) attached to metal arms C, G, constructed of iron, steel, brass or any elastic metal, connected by the coiled spring E, and secured in their position by the coiled wire ring or band I) fitting loosely over the bent arms of the machine in order to allow the free movement of the jaws or grippers as they pass over the line or cord B, and made to press firmly against it by means of the coiled spring E thus effectually securing whatever articles of clothing may be suspended over the line, from being detached by winds or other causes. This spring or lever may be coiled as in the drawing or simply bent for the purposes intended, or it may be supplied with a spring in any form in general use and so attached as to act as a lever to press the jaws or grippers firmly against the line or cord.
In the construction of the improved clothes pin I use simply wire of any suitable metal of the proper size and elasticity, with the jaws or grippers turned or made smooth, and either perforated lengthwise and passed over and secured to the metallic Wire, or attached by any other convenient method to effect the same object.
The pin is operated by simply pressing the two arms inward between the thumb and fingers compressing the spring and opening the jaws and passing the pin over the clothing which is suspended on the line, and which on removing the pressure return to their position and by the force of the lever or spring are pressed firmly against the line and elfectually produce the desired result.
I do not claim the invention of pins for securing clothes to the line, neither the invention of the coiled spring or lever, neither the combination of the parts of the same, but I do claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The improvement of manufacturing clothes pins from wire of any suitable metal, wit-h the aforesaid jaws attached, operated by a spring or lever, as being the most simple, cheap, effective and durable of any kind in use.
SAMUEL ALDRICH.
