Non-symmetrical wire clip for clotheslines

Abstract

An improved wire clip 10 to better keep hung garments 22 separated when suspending onto clotheslines 30 . Also useful for hanging banners 22 , the clip 10 offers a non-symmetrically centered axis 20 which is perpendicular to the line 30 . A friction body 14 provides a pressure means by a fulcrum locus 14 -A opposing a counter locus 14 -B; a catch tail 16 is provided for suspending the garment 22 . The weight of the suspended garment 22 leverages the body 14 at the non-symmetrical axis 20 which disposes the fulcrum 14 -A, and opposes the counter 14 -B to create increased pressure onto the line 30.

1 . A method for drying laundered garments  22  on garment hangers  24  suspended onto a clothesline  30 , said method utilizes a wire clip  10  comprising a concentrically coiled friction body  14  for applying a friction pressure means for locking said clip  10  onto said line  30 ; and a non-symmetrically centered catch  16  for suspending the hanger  24  therefrom, said method including:
 applying said clip  10  to the line  30  by locating its non-symmetrical axis  20  thereto;   twisting said friction body  14  onto the line  30  linearly away from its non-symmetrical axis  20 ;   suspending said laundry  22  from the catch  16  to leverage the clip  10  by the non-symmetrical axis  20 ;   disposing a fulcrum locus  14 -A opposing a counter locus  14 -B within said friction body  14 ;   
     whereby said clip  10  creates increased pressure applied onto the line  30  to better keep the laundry  22  separately arranged when suspended on the garments hangers  24 , thus reducing the time needed for drying. 
   
   
       2 . A wire clip  10  intended to keep suspended laundry  22  separately arranged on garments hangers  24  hung onto a clothesline  30 , comprising
 a non-symmetrically centered axis  20  perpendicular to said clothesline  30  and its axis  32 ;   a concentrically coiled friction body  14  providing a fulcrum locus  14 -A located upon said non-symmetrical axis  20  opposing a counter locus  14 -B;   a catch tail  16  for a suspending said garment  22  therefrom;   
     whereby the weight of said garment  22  suspended from the catch  16  leverages the friction body  14  at the non-symmetrical axis  20  which disposes the fulcrum locus  14 -A, and opposes the counter locus  14 -B to create the increased pressure onto the line  30 . 
   
   
       3 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 2  further comprising,
 the concentrically coiled body  14  substantially forms greater than a single revolution but less than two revolutions when applied onto the line  30 .   
   
   
       4 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 2  further comprising,
 an adjustable clutch head  12  for grasping the clip  10  onto the clothesline  30 , including those which are rigid or flexible; metal, plastic, or rope; clad or unclad; and diametrically thick or thin.   
   
   
       5 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 2  further comprising,
 composition from molded plastic or synthetics, formed from flexible or rigid wire either clad or unclad; or spring steel.   
   
   
       6 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 2  further comprising,
 trim caps  18  on the end of clutch head  12  and catch tail  16 .   
   
   
       7 . A wire clip  10  intended to keep suspended banners  22  and the like, separately arranged onto a line  30 , comprising
 a non-symmetrically centered axis  20  perpendicular to said clothesline  30  and its axis  32 ;   a concentrically coiled friction body  14  providing a fulcrum locus  14 -A located upon said non-symmetrical axis  20  opposing a counter locus  14 -B;   a catch tail  16  for a suspending said banner  22  therefrom;   
     whereby the weight of said banner  22  suspended from the catch  16  leverages the friction body  14  at the non-symmetrical axis  20  which disposes the fulcrum locus  14 -A, and opposes the counter locus  14 -B to create the increased pressure onto the line  30 . 
   
   
       8 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 7  further comprising,
 the concentrically coiled body  14  substantially forms greater than a single revolution but less than two revolutions when applied onto the line  30 .   
   
   
       9 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 7  further comprising,
 an adjustable clutch head  12  for grasping the clip  10  onto the clothesline  30 , including those which are rigid or flexible; metal, plastic, or rope; clad or unclad; and diametrically thick or thin.   
   
   
       10 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 7  further comprising,
 composition from molded plastic or synthetics, formed from flexible or rigid wire either clad or unclad; or spring steel.   
   
   
       11 . The wire clip  10  of  claim 7  further comprising,
 trim caps  18  on the end of the clutch head  12  and catch tail  16 .
