Clothespin: “Mom \ dad, what’s a clothespin?” is the phrase that is occurring with more frequency as time passes. Currently in the United States 60% of households use clothes dryers.The last clothespin manufacturer in the United States closed up shop in 1971. In the U.S. it has been more common to use clothespins for things other than clothes, such as movie production, and hobbies. David M. Smith invented the “modern” lever action clothespin in 1853, which was an improvement on a design that was patented 21 years earlier.
