Abstract

120. Lake, R. H., [Pearson, J. E.]. Jan. 2. Fastening.-Fig. 1 shows a hook-and-eye fastening adapted for securing horse blankets &c. It consists of a wire bent at the middle, forming loops a<3>, a', by which it is stitched to the garment, the wire extending forward to form a double shank a, a<1>, and then turning outward and rearward, to form loops a<8> as shown. The parts of the shank a, a<1> may be secured together by a sleeve, as shown, or by twisting them together ; in the latter case two wires may be used. In a modification, the loops a<3>, a<4> are replaced by a single loop, and the parts a, a' are not secured together. The dotted lines indicate one form of eye, in which a loop d is sprung into the loops a<8>, the eye being secured to the garment by loops d<2>. In a modification, shown in Fig. 6, a tongue b formed on the loop d engages the shank, and keeps the parts in alignment.
