Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 28, 1915.
Application led July 28, 1914. Serial No. 853,742;
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, ANTHONY HAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hooks, of which .the following' is a specilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
y improvement relates particularly to hooks intended to be temporarily a ring and the porarily engaged to the hook.
he object of the invention is to provide a hook from which the key ring can not be accidentally detached,
permit economical manufacture and easy manipulation.
n the accompanying' drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hook embodying improvement; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the same hook; Fig. 3 is a section on the line, 3,*3, of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section on the line, 4%, of Fig. l, looking' downward and turning' the structure at right angles; Fig.
Referring first to Figs. l, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the main element of the hook consists of a single, heavy and iirm ribbon form piece of sheet metal, the upper end of which piece is folded rearward and then downward and the lower end of which piece is folded forward and upward to form of such metal piecel a middle upright body portion, A, an upright downward-extending back portion, B, and a front rising hook portion, C, the entire piece in a general way `taking the form of a reversed letter S. The lower end of the backl portion, B, has an oblique forward-directed portion, B1, directed against the lower portion of the back of the middle or body portion, A, and there secured by a rivet B2.
In the upper portion of the middle portion, A, and above the lfront hook portion,
is a forwardly-directed portion, A1, and between said portion and the upper end of the back portion, B, is an oblique portion, A2,. In the portion, A1, is an upper slot, A3.
vment for the lower end of the The upper portion of the fronti rising hook portion, C, has an upper portion, C1, which is curved rearward (toward the body portion, A,) and then forward. Said portion, C1, has an upright slot, C2, the lower end of which has an approximately upright, rearwarddirected face, C3, forming an abutspring tongue, spring tongue of the portion, is suitably secured D1. Thence l In use, the hook is supported on a belt or similar device (not shown).
For attaching tongue. cally forward until its lower end rests upon the abutment face, Thereafter, when the ring moves upward, it passes rearward of the spring tongue, being guided by the portion, C1, o-f the hook. etween the upper end of the portion, C1, and the portion, A1, the space is closed by the tongue.
he portions, A2 stitute a fender for the spring tongue and the portion, C1,
the spring tongue and the part, G1.
Such accidental catching of any foreign object on between the and A1, of the hook concause objectionable strains on the hook. By making the portion, A1, approximately horizontal and making the portion, A2, slanting,
the fender is made slanting, and is, for that reason, more effective ,for protecting the tongue and the upper end of the portion, C1. Said fender projects forward enough to also protect the portion of the tongue which lies in and in front of the slot, C2.
When it is desired to release the key ring, the. portion of the tongue which is exposed in the curved portion, C1, of the hook is pressed rearward by the thumb or finger, and the ring is then drawn upward until it engages the front face of the tongue. Then it is drawn upward between the tongue and the portion, C1, and then forward between theA portion, C1, and the portion A1.
It will be observed that this structure is adapted to economical manufacture. Straight strips ot sheet metal may be cut, in large numbers, to the desired length, and the slotsl C2 and A3, andv holes for the rivets, 1 and B2, formed therein. Then these metal strips may be bent to the desired form and the tongue and rivets inserted.
Iny the 'form shown by Figs. 1, 2, 3, A, and 5, the tongue is a nearly straight piece. In the form shown' by Fig. 6, the bend in the tongue is readily formed. In all the forms the slots, A.3 and C2, receive the middle and lower portion of the tongue in such manner as to require the use of only one rivet, D1, to secure the upper end of the tongue, and this one vrivet need not be so tight as to prevent lateral turning of the tongue, for the metal at each'side of the slots forms abutments to limit the lateral movement of the tongue.
In Fig. 6, the upper end of the tongue is extended and bent rest against the inner face of the downward extending back portion, B, and there secured by means of the rivet, D1. The longer the tongue, the less the angle of flexure. In the same figure, the lower end of said back portion is bent abruptly forward, approximately at a right angle, and then secured to the bodyportion, A, by means of the rivet, B2.
rlhe space inclosed between the upright body portion, A, and the downward-extending back4 portion, B, receives the belt on which `the hook is carried. be extendedto receive a wider belt. But, in making such extension, the fact should be taken into account that it is preferable to have the distance between the forward-directed portion, A1, and the junction of the lower end of the middle portion, A, andthe rising portion, C', less' than the diameter Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the f rino' restino' in downward and made to This space may of the ring to be used on the hook, in order that when the ring is in the hook and is turned upward, rthe lower portion of the the lower end of the'space inclosed by the portions, A and C, the upper portion of the ring will bear against the oblique portion, A2, and will not enter the space between the portion, A1, and the portion, C1. lf the hook is to be formed to receive a wider belt,the,oblique portion, A2, may be lengthened without changing the dimensions of the parts below the forwarddirected portion, A1.
It is to be noted that the outer face of the middle body portion, A, serves as an abutment for limiting the rearward. movement of the lower portion of the spring, whereby excessive straining of the spring is avoided. It is also to be` noted that the metallic strip `of Vwhich may be flexible and theportion, C1, bent backward far enough to make the space between said portion` and the portion, a little less than the diameter of the ringso that inpassing into and out of the lower portion of the lio-ok, the ring will force a slight separation between thel portion, C1, and the portion,A.
