The object of this invention is to provide wardly to provide one of the arms of the ina clothes pin from a single strand of rusttermediate jaw The second arm of this proof resilient wire constructed of metal to jaw is shapedsimilar tothe first mentioned provide a handle portion, with end jaws and arm thereof andhas its end rounded around 5 an intermediate jaw, the said jaws having the strand. 3. The rounded or coil portion. their body portions rounded toward each is extended downwardly or in the direction other but their ends bent outwardly to afford of the jaw 5 to provide the inner arm of the a flared clothes line receiving passage theresecond outer jaw 7. The jaw 6 comprises two between, and wherein the construction is such strands and is substantially V-shaped in plan 10 that the pin may be readily arranged over which is true with respect to all of the jaws. 60 the line and clothes to firmly hold the clothes The jaw 7 is shaped similar to the jaw 5 and on the line and as the jaws only contact with the outer strand thereof has its end rounded the clothes at spaced intervals and thus not over, the end of the longitudinal strand 8, as materially exclude air therefrom the said clearly disclosed by'the drawings.
