Application fil ed. July 11,1910. Serial No. 571,361.1
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES HARK- NESS, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Providence, in the countyof Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hooks and Eyes, of
which the following is aspecification, reference being had thereintothe accompanying.

proved hook.
My invention relates tofan improvement in hooks and eyes and hasfor its object the overcoming of the hereinafter enumerated various defects in, and :objections to, the hooks and eyes in common use and comprises the novel constructionand combination of the several partsashereinafter de-' scribed and particularly [set forth in the claim. a a
Figure 1 shows in elevation one form of my improved hook with an eye in engagement therewith. Fig; 2 is a side elevation of the same.
to the meeting. edges thereof, the overturned edge of the fabric being broken away at the third hook from the end. (Fig. 4. shows in elevation another form of my imedges thereof. Fig.7 shows in elevation an eye. Fig. 8 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 9 is an elevation of another form of my im- Fig. 10 is a :side elevation thereof. i
In the drawings A i represents my ima I a a and a a and the tongue T, all in the back of theedge eyelets a, a,.and supports for said tongue which extend substantially parallel to said side bars. The spread of the tongue T at its maximum width ls equal to;
or a little wider than the space between the sides of the eye B. Thus when the tongue is made Wider than theeye the sides of the eye are sprung apart slightly as it passes the place where the tongue isthe widest and Fig. 3shows a portion of a cloth garment which has-the same applied then the sides recover their normal position. and serve as a locking means against the accidental unfastenmg; i
The connections which form the eyesupv i porting shoulders and the tongue supports provide relatively long connections or supports for the tongue, thereby allowing of itsbending outof alinement to facilitate the easy engagement of the eye-member and further reinforce the edge ofthe material and retain it smooth and flat.
i i The eye B has the sewing eyelets b b, and
the end 0 is bent or curved outof the plane ;of the rest of the eye. The curvature at the end 0 may be as much or as little as desired, according to the thickness of the fabric,
which is designed to occupy thiscurved seat,
ate sewing eyelets b I) being on theyunder ls1de and the engaging bar at 0 projecting :out ust. enough toallow of the free engage- .ment of the tongue T therewith. However any form of eye, or loop, or bar, may "be used with my improved book, as desired. In the use of my improved hook, as seen ;in Figs. 3 and 6,.the sewing eyelets a a are at the very edgeof the garment and in ad: Vance ofthe tongue of the hook. The edge of the garment may be turned over. upon and cover the sewinggeyelets a a, or the a hook may bemerely attached to the garment,
as appears. a a a My improved book maybe so attached to.
a garment that the sewing eyelets would hold f the fabric tightly against the tongueT, so i that any eye engaged therewith would be so boundand constrained bythe fabric that this of itself would serve as a means against accidental unfastenlngs Heretofore hooks have .i usually been; so
constructed that all partsthereof do not lie 9 in a common plane at all times and under all conditions as doesmy improved hook, but rather someparts are either bent upon them selves as for instance is the tongue. of the hook most commonly used, or humps are formed, or parts are bent to allow for the engagement with the eye. The result is that in such cases by repeated ironing andpressing the hook becomes almost useless and inoperative by the tongue being jammed into ,closecontact with the adjacent parts, or by reason of the parts that lie outside of the common plane becoming. flattened down.
Inasmuch as alllparts of my improved hook are at all times in one and the same plane continued pressing and ironing of the same and of the garment to which it is attached will not in any way injure their construction or operativeness, or render them less liable to engage freely with the eye. I
In the old form of hook and eye the sewing eyelets of any one hook are quite close together relative to the distance of the hooks one from the other so that in'the case of well made, close fitting garments the fabric-is drawn and pulled at these fixed points not only causing the garment togap open but to pucker and bulge out on a line across the body of the wearer between the lines of stress or pull as aforesaid.
. In the case of my improved hook the pull is not so concentrated but is dispersed and moreevenly distributed causing a uniform pull along the entire length of the edge of the garment and this too without requiring a large number of hooks placed'closely together and also at the same time holding the I surface of the garment flat, even and against bulging byreason of the large area of the fabric confined within the limits of the outlying sewing eyelets of my improved hook. When in the use of old forms of hooks and eyes where on an overlapping edge the, attaching points of either the hooks or the eyes are back from the edge of the garment the pull comes down along the line of said attaching points, which line is a little. way back from said edge thus making a strip of the garment along theedge that iseither loose or at best badly secured and often be-' comes folded back and gaps and exposes the hook and "eye to view. Int-he use of my im' proved hook part of the sewing eyelets, namely a a, are upon the very outer edge of my overlapping edge, as seen in Figs. 3- and 0 6, and the seat or point of engagement of the eye with the base of the tongue of the hook is at a point farther back or away from said overlapping edge than are the sewing eyelets a-a.' hereby said overlappingedge is positively, firmly, evenly and flatly held out over the underlying edge and the eyelets B, B, thereon effectively concealing the same from'view and at all times presenting a neat and trim appearance. 1
I claim as a novel and useful invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent.
A device of the character described, embodying a hook membercomprisingparallel side-bars spaced apart and provided with sewing eyelets at bothends, two of said eye- 7 lets adapted to be secured at the edge of the material to which the hook is attached, a tongue disposed between said'side-bars, and connections extending between the base of said tongue and two of said eyelets form ing shoulders backfrom said edge eyelets and supports for the tongue which extend substantially parallel with said side-bars, all and every part of said elements lying in the same plane, and an eye-member adapted to snap over said tongue and engagesaid shoulders. I
In testimony whereof, I affiX my signature Zhereto in presence of two witnesses.
