PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Clothes-peg Bags.
1 EMORY WOOD RUGGLES, Doctor of Medicine of 15 St. John's Church Road,
Hackney, in the County of Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention,
a communication to me from abroad by William Jamieson of Saratoga Springs, New
York in the United States of America to be as follows:-
This invention relates to clothes peg bags designed to be suspended from the clothes
line while hanging out the clothes and also when taking them down.
The frame of the clothes peg holder is made of wire and comprises a cross bar
having upwardly projecting hooks, one at each end. At its middle the cross bar is
provided with an integral arm which arm depends from the cross bar and is provided
at its lower end with a rigid ring which is large enough in diameter to permit a
person's hand to be conveniently passed through it. The ring is deflected slightly
from its depending arm so that the clothes pegs may be readily placed therein or
removed therefrom as needed. At its middle the cross bar is provided with a pivoted
loop of wire by which to suspend the clothes peg bag when not in use upon the clothes
line. The bag is of canvas or other suitable material and is stitched to the cross bar
and is also cut out to form the hand hole and stitched around said hole to the ring
aforesaid.
The manner of using the device is to hang it on the clothes line by means of the end
hooks with the mouth of the bag towards the person using it. It is slid along the
line as required and the clothes pegs taken out as wanted or put into the bag when the
clothes are being taken from the line. When not in use the bag is hung up in
the house by the pivoted wire loop beforementioned.
