Our invention relates to clamps for the reception oi' a clothes line and has for its object to produce a clamp oi this character that is of simple and'eiiicient construction and into which a clothes line may be easily and quickly inserted to be held by the clamp in any desired degree oi' tautness.
Figure I is a perspective view of our clamp shown attached to a support and with a fragment of a clothes line clam ed therein. Fi II is a side elevation of the c am Fig. II is a cross section taken on line II-III In the accompanying drawing, A designates a fragment of a post to which our clamp is shown applied and B is a fragment of a clothes line.
1 designates a bracket ,which com rises a flat face body having a side iiange Ziloc'ated at the rear edge of the body. The side flange 2 is of curved shape and it has an innerl gripping face 3. l
4 is a fastening screw that is rigidly mounted in the bracket 1 and projects rearwardly therefrom. This screw is adapted to be mounted in a ost similar] manner in which it is sbown inserte into the post A. The bracket 1 is of approximately quadrant shape and at its upper edge is a curved open slot 5 that extends inwardly from the upper edge of the body and 1s adapted to receive a member to be hereinafter more particularly mentioned.
6 designates anl eccentric block also of approximately uadrant shape that is pivot ally connected at its front end by a bolt 10 to the front end of the flat body vof the bracket 1 within the recess formed by the curved iiange at a point near the junction of the angular edges of the front of said body. The point of pivotal connection between the eccentric block and the bracket is so located that the greatest portion of said block is below said point in order thatv the lower part of the inner edge of the eccentric block may be to the caused to be resented in proximity to the Linner side of t c lower end of :flange 2 of the bracket to moveto and from said iange to-a suilicient degree to permit of a clothes line being inserted between said lower art ofthe inner edge and said flange. The lower art of the inner edge of the eccentric bloc is serrated as seen at 7 and in the up er part of the inner edge and the up er e ge of the block is a corner groove 8 o approximately V-shape to provide a bite for the clothes line. 9 is a limitation stud that rejects from the side of the eccentric bloc which faces 'the iiat body of the bracket l and order that saidblock may only descend to 'a restricted degree and Vwill therefore' always be retained in a position to readilyV grip 'a clothes line. By keeping the eccentric block in close proximity to said Bange its grippin 'face is always in such position that it is on y necessary to introduce the clothes line between it and the gripping face of the bracket flange and exert a downward pull upon said line and when the line is released the eccentric block is automatically carried upwardly and forwardly toward the bracket liange when the portion ofthe line drawn through the clamp is released and the stress in the' line is permitted to become im osed upon the eccentric block. When the ine is in position in the clamp it occupies the corner groove at the top ofthe inner edge of the eccentric block and `the walls of this groove serve to prevent lateral displacement of the line while it is in engagement with the eccentric block. s 4 l It is to be observed that' in our clamp the eccentric block partakes of an upward movement toward the ri pin ange of the bracket when the c ot es clamp exerts a pull upon the eccentric block and acts to tlghtly bind the line in the clamp. In this connection we'desire to call attention to the fact that it is onl necessary to exert a downward pull u on t e extremity of the line in drawing t e line taut and the line will become automatically clamlped when its extremity is released. It Wil be seen that the construction of the clamp by l which the operation stated is rendered possi;
ble makes it a much easier matter to adjust the line in the clamp and tighten it by a ne fitted in the downward pull instead of an upward ull as is necessary in .clothes line clamps o other constructions. i n
We claim:
5 A clothes line clamp comprising a bracket 'of 'approximately quadrant sha e havin a ilat ace, a segmental ange at t e rear edge of the body, and an inwardly curved open slot in the upper'ed e of the body, and a 10 block of approximate y quadrant shape pivoted eccentrically at its forward ortion to the forward portion of the bo y of the bracket, and having any approximately V'- shaped .groove in its rear upper corner providmg a bite for the line', a serrated gripping part at its rear lower corner, and a transversely arranged limitation stud working in the inwardly curved open slot of the body.
