Description
Aug. 6, 1935. F. R. ANDERSON CLOTHESPIN Filed July 9, 1934 BY aaym ATTORN EY Patented Aug. 6, 1935' UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE cw'mssrm Frank R. Anderson, mica. n1.
Application Ill! 9. 1934, Serial No. 734,369 1 Claim. (Cl. 24-138) This invention relates to clothes pins and has for the primary object the provision of a device of the above stated character which will be free from corrosion and may be easily kept clean and may be easily applied to a line and applied to articles of fabric or similar material supported by the line without danger of injuring said articles and will prevent accidental freeing of the latter from the line and which may be manufactured and sold at a low cost.
With these and-other objects in view this invention consists in certain novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
For a complete understanding of my invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a plan view illustrating a clothes pin constructed in accordance with my invention.
Figure 2 is an edge elevation illustrating the same.
Figure 8 is a similar view showing a modified may be employed for securing articles to a line.-
The pin consists of a pair of heads 2, each integral with parallel arms 8, the free ends of which curve outwardly to facilitate the application of the arms to an article and to a line supporting the article. One pair of said arms has formed upon its inner face a groove or channel 4 by offsetting the respective arm. The channel 4 aids in preventing thepairofarmsfrom slipping through the article and the line supporting the article and further reinforces and strengthens the respective arm. One arm of the other pair of said arms is crimped to form corrugations i and which extend transversely or the respective arm aiding 5 said arm and its companion arm in gripping clothes on a line. Each head I and the pair of arms integral therewith are formed from a single strip of metal which is bent upon itself to first form a head of semi-circular shape presenting a 10 flat portion 3. After the formation of the head the strip of material is bent to provide the pair of arms, the arms converging where they join to the head. The flat porticns'of the heads 2 are welded, soldered or similarly connected or they 15 may be joined by rivets or like fasteners l, as shown in Figure 3.
If desired, the pairs of arms or one arm of each pair. may be free of either the channel I or the corrugations I, this being clearly illustrated by Fi ure 4.
A clothes pin constructed in accordancewith the foregoing can be easily handled and is cheap to manufacture and will efficiently secure an arti- 25 cle to a line without danger of injuring or tearing the article.
Having described the invention, I claim:
A clothes pin comprising pairs of oppositely extending spaced arms having their free ends 30 curved outwardly to facilitate the. positioning of either pair of said arms over an article sup ported by a line, heads integral with said arms and each having a flattened portion engageable with each other, means for securing the flattened 5 portions together. one arm of one of said pairs of arms being oflset to form a channel and one arm of the other pair of said arms being crimped to form corrugations.
