Abstract
According to the invention there is provided a peg (10) comprising a first and a second pair of jaws (20 and 22), the jaws being movable between open and closed positions, the peg further including biasing means (30) for co-operation with the jaws for biasing them to their closed positions.
Description
- THIS invention relates to a peg. In particular the invention concerns a clothes-peg for securing items of clothing to a washing line.
- Various types of clothes-pegs are known to anybody who has ever had to secure an item of clothing to a washing line. One example of an existing clothes-peg comprises two wooden legs which are secured to each other with the use of a resilient metal strip. At one end of the clothes-peg the two wooden legs form a pair of jaws which is configured for gripping an item of clothing. At the other end the two legs provide a set of levers which can be used to pivot the jaws into an open position, when a force is applied to the legs by a user, such that a portion of an item of clothing and a small section of a washing line can be located between the jaws. When the user releases the levers, the jaws are closed under the influence of the resilient metal strip, thereby securing the clothes-peg and the item of clothing to the washing line.
- In another known type of a clothes-peg two polymeric legs are provided which also form a pair of jaws at one end and a set of levers at the other end for locating the jaws in an open position. As with the wooden peg described above, the jaws of the polymeric legs are also biased to a closed position but instead of a metal strip, a resilient polymeric strip is provided. The polymeric clothes-peg operates in a similar manner as that described above for the wooden clothes-peg.
- South Africa is currently experiencing a very rapid growth in the number of townhouse and cluster complexes being developed. A drawback of these new developments is that they are normally relatively crowded and that space is limited. In particular, various owners of units in new developments will attest that they do not have sufficient space on their washing lines for hanging their wet clothing.
- Persons living in rural and urban informal settlements will also attest that there is often a demand for sufficient space on which wet clothing can be hung to dry.
- It is an object of the present invention to address the above problems.
- According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a peg comprising a first and a second pair of jaws, the jaws being movable between open and closed positions, the peg further including biasing means for co-operation with the jaws for biasing them to their closed positions.
- Preferably the two pairs of jaws are formed by two legs, each leg having a first end and a second end wherein each end includes a gripping formation.
- More preferably the two legs define a biasing means cavity in which the biasing means can be located.
- Advantageously each leg includes an actuating portion such that when a compressive force is applied to the actuating portions the jaws are located in their open positions.
- Typically the actuation portion of each leg is provided by having each leg profiled to form an apex.
- Preferably the apexes of the legs lie opposite one another.
- Alternatively the actuation portion of each leg is provided by having each leg profiled to form a finger gripping formation.
- In an embodiment of the invention the biasing means comprises a resilient polymeric material which is sized for fitting inside the biasing means cavity.
- Typically holding formations are provided for securing the biasing means inside the biasing means cavity.
- According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a peg comprising:
-
- a pair of legs defining a pair of jaws which are movable between open and closed positions, the legs also defining a biasing means cavity; and
- biasing means for location inside the biasing means cavity for biasing the jaws to their closed positions.
- The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a front view of a peg in accordance with the present invention wherein the jaws of the peg are located in their closed positions; -
FIG. 2 shows a front view of the peg of the invention wherein the jaws of the peg are located in their open positions; -
FIG. 3 shows a front view of two pegs of the invention in use for securing items of clothing to a washing line; and -
FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a peg in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 1 shows a peg in accordance with the present invention, generally indicated with the reference numeral 10. In the description that follows below the operation of the peg will be described in its use as a clothes-peg. It will, however, be appreciated that the use of the peg of the invention need not be limited to securing clothes to a washing line. - The peg 10 comprises a first and a second leg, indicated respectively with the
reference numerals legs portions 16 and 18 as shown in the drawings. Towards their ends thelegs gripping formations 20 which are in this embodiment of the invention provided in the form of serrated portions for providing sufficient grip for holding unto an item of clothing. Thelegs corresponding gripping formation 20 define a pair of jaws, indicated respectively with thereference numerals - As shown, the
legs apex 26 which is located toward the centre of its leg. It will be noted that theapexes 26 lie opposite one another. In this embodiment of the invention theapexes 26 will also act as actuating portions as will be described below. - The peg 10 has a biasing means
cavity 28 for receiving biasing means 30 which can co-operate with thelegs jaws cavity 28 is formed between the twolegs apexes 26. In this embodiment of the invention the biasing means 30 comprises a resilient polymeric material which is sized for fitting inside the biasing meanscavity 28. In order to secure the biasing means 30 to thelegs holding sections protrusions cavity 28 with theprotrusions holding portions - Although not shown in the drawings, it is envisaged that the peg 10 could include side panels for attachment to the sides of the peg 10 thereby securing the biasing means 30 inside the biasing means
cavity 28. - The
legs - When it is desired to locate the
jaws apexes 26 as indicated by thearrows FIG. 2 . As a compressive force is applied thejaws legs jaws FIG. 2 . - Simultaneously to the
apexes 26 moving towards one another under the influence of the compressive force, the biasing means 30 will become compressed and itsprotrusions respective holding portions arrows apexes 26, the resilience of the biasing means 30 will again urge thejaws - Referring specifically to
FIG. 2 of the drawings, it is pointed out that adjacent each pair ofjaws 22 and 24 a wire holding portion, indicated respectively with thereference numerals -
FIG. 3 shows two pegs 10.1 and 10.2 in use where a portion of a washing line is held inside thewire holding portion 48 of the peg 10.1. An item ofclothing 54 is held inside thejaws 24 of the peg 10.1 as shown. The peg 10.2 in turn grips a bottom portion of the item ofclothing 54 with itsjaws 22 and holds a second item ofclothing 56 in itsjaws 24. -
FIG. 4 shows a peg 70 in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention. The peg 70 includes twolegs jaws leg finger gripping formation 82 in which fingers of a user, typically the thumb and index finger of the user, may be placed when the user is desirous to locate thejaws formation 82 includes fine ridges for enhancing the grip provided for the fingers of the user. - The peg 70 includes a number of
protrusions 84 on the insides of thelegs legs ridges - In order to enhance grip on garments to be held, the
jaws jaws - It is envisaged that by having
jaws line holding portions 98 and 100 which are larger in dimension that those of the peg 10, the peg 70 will be better suited for handling relatively thick garments as well as washing lines of relatively thick diameter. It is also envisaged that thelarger jaws - The pegs of the invention will typically be produced from a plastics material and will preferably include a form of ultraviolet protection for shielding the pegs against the damaging effects of sunlight.
- Although not specifically described above it is envisaged that the first and second legs and the biasing means respectively need not necessarily be separate components but could be unitary construction.
- By providing a peg having two pairs of jaws which can secure items of clothing to a washing line, the amount of clothing which can be hung from a washing line can be optimised.
