CROCHET HOOK Filed May 2, 1955 Patented Dec. 17, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CROCHET HOOK tion of Illinois Application May 2, 1935, Serial No. 19,489
3 Claims.
'Ihis invention relates to a crochetI hook and the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a crochet hook so formed as to effect a ready and 5 easy thread or stitch-release while at the same time providing a hook beak with a relatively wide bight. y
The invention is illustrated, in a preferred embodiment, by the accompanying drawing, in
10 which- Figure 1 is a side View in elevation of a crochet hook embodying my invention; Fig. 2, a broken enlarged detail view in side elevation; and Fig. 3, a broken detail plan view.
15 In the illustration given, I0 designates a cylindrical crochet hook body provided at its forward end with a tapered stitch or loop-forming portion II. The head I2, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3, has an upper hook portion which broadens Z as it extends forwardly to the beak I3. The
forward edge I4 of the beak is quite wide compared with the rearmost part of the head I2. If desired, the edge I4 may be rounded at the corners, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3. The
25 head I4 also tapers in a vertical line rearwardly to the central point I5, as shown more clearly in Figs. 1 and 2.
It will be observed that the beak I3 has tapering sides, as shown in Fig. 3, which coincide sub- 30 stantially with the tapering sides of the stitchforming portion I I below the beak, and that the taper is uniformly extended toward the rear of the head I2. With this construction, the thread may readily slip along the side walls of the head without meeting any obstruction.
In crochet hooks heretofore used, it has been customary to provide the heads with beaks which are wide at their rearmost side and which taper forwardly to a V-point. Such a sharp point 4o not only tends to pierce the thread or yarn, but
also affords a very narrow bight for engagement therewith. My new crochet hook head affords a beak which is widest at its forward end, while at the same time not interfering with the thread- 45 release quality of the head because the side walls of the beak are vertically aligned with the side walls of the stitch-forming portion II. Also, the continuation of the taper at the rear end of the head toward a point at the rear end greatly facilitates the removal of stitches.
In the operation of the hook, a stitch is drawn onto the hook and the hook then passed through the material to engage another thread. In so 5 doing, the stitch-forming taper II preforms the loo-p so that it may readily slip over the head as the new stitch is drawn forwardly. The broad edged beak holds the thread firmly without piercing through it while, at the same time, its tapering side walls permit the stitch or loop after it has been formed on the portion II to be readily released.
The foregoing detailed description has been given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible, in view of the prior art.
I claim:
1. In a crochet hook having a main body portion and a tapered stitch-forming portion, a head having a beak expanding in width toward its free end and having its portion to the rear of said beak tapering inwardly toward the rear end of said head, said stitch-forming portion tapering uniformly on all sides from said main body to said head.
2. In a crochet hook having a main body portion and a tapered stitch-forming portion, a head at the end of said stitch-forming portion, said stitch-forming portion being substantially circular in cross-section and tapering uniformly toward said head, said head having a beak expanding in width toward its free end and having its portion to the rear of said beak tapering inwardly toward the rear end of said head.
3. In a crochet hook having a main body portion and a tapered stitch-forming portion, a head at the smaller end of said stitch-forming portion and having a beak expanding in width toward its free end an-d having its portion to the rear of said beak tapering inwardly toward the rear end of said head, said stitch-forming portion having its contour providing a continuous uniform inclnation on all sides from said main body portion toward said head.
GUSTAV A. CARLSON.
