This invention relates to a portable clothes line set readily attachable to various plane surfaces.
It is an object to provide alight, snibstantial 5' line which can be quickly attached to plane wall surfaces and doors and windows, and their casings without in the la: st inarring the finish and without tying to various supports which may be available.
Further an object is to provide for ready variation of length of the line may be required according to distance between surfaces to which the ends of the line are to he attached.
line of low cost, long life, few and simple parts and wholly free from complicated actions, and all being of small proportions so that the demounted line may be very closely packed in a small container, together with clothes pins.
The invention consists of certain advancements in this art as set forth in the ensuing disclosure and having, with the above, additional objects and advantages, and whose construction, combination and details of means, and manner of operation will be made manifest in the description of the herewith illustrative apparatus; it being understood that modifications, variations and adaptations may be resorted to within the spirit, scope and principle of the invention as it is more directly claimed hereinafter.
Figure 1 is a perspective of the mounted line. I
Figure 2 is a perspective on a larger scale.
Figure3 is a detail, partly sectional view ot'the length adjuster. l
The line consists, preferably, of a piece of strong twine 2, or light rope, at whose ends are attached suction cups or pads 8 whose concaved faces are adapted to be pressed against a plane surface, as of a wall, tile, win dow, or door. or window and door frames or casings, and be held by atmospheric pressure in the usual well known manner of such pads.
To permit variation of length of and to draw up the mounted line to the desire tension between walls to which the attaching cups An additional object is to provide an indoor i may be adhered a bight otthe cord 2 is pulled Serial No. 434,971.
through a button 4 in which is then pressed a wedge pin 5 so that it will firmly pinch the cord bight parts in the hole in the button. The tension of the loaded cord acts in the same direction as the direction of convergence of the pin and so tends to increase the friction and holding efl'ect of the pin.
Thus, this line wholly eliminates nailing, hooking or screwing means, and obviates any possible injury to the plane surfaces utilized as temporary supports.
The cord 2 has a part of its bight run through a diametrical hole 5 in the lower end of the pin and this permits easy shift of the cord at a point entirely below the button oi the collar. A feature is that all of the parts are thus connected as an organized unit with all parts attached against separation and loss.
d hat is claimed is:
An indoor clothes line con'iprising a line oil. cord, a pin having a transverse hole in its lower end in which the cord rove, a. button through which a bight of the cord passes, said pin being on the bight length and tapered to prevent complete passage of the button over the pin, and means secured on the ends of the cord for attaching the line to a plane surface, and being of a size to prevent endwise removal of the button from the line; the pin being applicable to the button bore to pinch the cord in adjusted length.
