Description
- animi gaat JAMES E.' LINES, 0F BRYAN, OHIO, A SsIGNoR To'HIMsELF AND JOHN SMITH, OFv SAME PLACE. I
Letters PatcntNo. 93,456, dated August 10, 1869.
nvrPRovnn' CLOTHES-PIN.
`The Schedulel referred to in these Lettera` Patent land making part of the same.
To'all whom 'it may concern:
Be `it known that I, JAMES E. LINES, of Bryan, in
the county of Williams, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clothes-Pin;
and I do hereby declare that ythe following is a full,
clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in whicl1' 1 i.;ure l is a side elevation, and
Figure 2, an edge elevation.
The nature of myinvention consists in bending a single piece of wire in such a` manner as to form a clothes-pin that will clasp the clothes securely, without holding them too closely in contact with the line, and allow a free circulation of air to all parts of the clothes, thus insuring the perfect drying of the clothes, and preventing them from beingfrozen to the line in c old weather, and also ro .render the pin less liable'to he thrown oil' the line byl the excessive motion of the clothes in windy weather.
To enable ,those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
, I cut apiece of wire of the required length, and flat- .ten each end. It is then bent at .its centre, the upper `portion a being semi-circular, and its sides b b parallel. The ends are then bent outward, so as to cross each other, then bent towardeach other, thus forming a circle; and thelower flat endsare bent outward,
the two at surfaces c c"being parallel, and resting againsteach other.
In fig. 1 ofthe drawings, a section of a clothes-line, (l, is shown, also cloth, e, hung on the line.
In the form shown in Figure 3,-.one of the arms is,
turned or twisted once or. more around theother arm, at the point where the twoams cross lveach other, so as to prevent lateral displacement of the arms and of the flattened ends thereof. l
Its operation is as follows:
The clothes to be secured are placed on the li'ne; and by compressing the two sides b b, the circular portion c and the dat-ends c c arethereby opened, thus allowing the lower part of the clothes-pin to pass over the line; and then, by releasing the said sides b b from pressure, the two flat ends c' c' at once spring toward Y each other, thus clasping the clothes firmly below the line; the circular portion c being larger than' the line, does not` hold the clothes tightly thereto, thereby rendering them less liable to freezeto the line during cold Weather, consequently less liable to be torn when Abeing removed therefrom; also tending to p revent the pin from falling olf, asthe only point of pressure is below the line, and it cannot be removed without first opening the dat ends c' c' wide enough to allow them to pass the line. y
Having thus fully described my invention, v
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl
A clothes-pin, formed of a single piece of wire, with one arm turnedor twisted onceor more around the other arm,- and the 'ends ilattened and resting against each other, substantially as shown and'described, for
the purpose specied.v
- JAMESE. LINES.
