HOOK AND EYE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 555,513, dated March 3, 1896.
Application filed March 13 1895.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, ELLERY A. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rome, in the county of Floyd and State of Georgia, have invented a new and useful Hook and Eye, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to fastenings for wearing-apparel of the type employing ahook and an eye; and the object of the same is to devise a novel construction of hook which can be used in connection with the ordinary eye and will admit of a limited play of the parts without imposing undue strain upon either the hook or the eye and without fear of accidental displacement of either part.
The primary object of the invention is a garment-fastening hook which can be formed from a single length of wire and present a neat, light, {and agreeable appearance, and which at the same time will be efficient for the required purposes and give satisfactory results, and which will embody a minimum amount of material in its construction.
With these and such other objects as may result from the special formation of the hook the latter consists of the novel features which hereinafter will be more particularly set forth and claimed, and which are shown in the drawings hereto attached, in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective View of a hook- .and-eye fastening embodying the vital features of the invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the parts illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the improved hook, and Fig. 4 is an end view of the same.
The eye 1 is of well-known and common construction, and in View of the great demand for the same can be provided in large quantities at a nominal cost, hence the advantage of devising a hook which can be successfully and satisfactorily used in connection with this well-known form of garment-fastening eye.
The hook 2 is constructed from a single length of wire, which is bent to form the straight parallel members 3 and 4, forming the shank, the eyes 5 and 6 at one end of the shank, the bill 7 at the opposite end of the shank, having its end 8 bent outward away from the plane of the shank at an abrupt angle, the arm 9, and the guard 10, the latter being formed at the free end of the arm 9. The arm 9 extends parallel with the mem- -side of the bill 7.
Serial No. 541,622. (No model.)
bers 3 and 4 and is in the same plane therewith, the said parts touching at their longitudinal edges, whereby the arm 9 is braced laterally by means of the said members 3 and 4. The guard 10 is formed by bending the end of the arm 9, so as to provide lateral loop extensions 11, which are connected bya crossbar 12, centrally depressed at a middle point opposite the bill 7. The lateral loop extensions 11 project an equal distance from opposite sides of a prolongation of the arm 9, so as to give a uniform appearance to the hook and provide for the retention of the eye 1 against accidental displacement from either The depression in the crossbar 12 approximates the outward curvature of the end of the eye 1, so as to provide an extended engaging-surface to prevent accidental disengagement of the component parts of the fastening after they have been engaged.
The guard 10 inclines upwardly and forwardly and terminates within a short distance of the beak 7 and provides a space 13, which admits of a limited movement of the parts upon one another.
From the foregoing it will be seen that a garment-hook of the construction herein set forth presents a pleasing appearance, is efficient for the purpose designed, and can be manufactured from a minimum amount of material consistent with the resultant ad vantages and superior results.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- The herein -specified garment-fastening hook for use in connection with an eye of ordinary construction, formed of a single length of wire which is bent to provide a shank composed of two parallel members, eyes at one end of the shank, a bill at the opposite end of the shank and comprising two members occurring in the same vertical plane with the corresponding members of the shank, and having its end bent at an abrupt angle, an arm located between the members of the shank and having its longitudinal edges touching the longitudinal edges of the shank members and braced laterally thereby, and a guard at the free end of the said arm inclining upwardly and forwardly and comprising lateral loop extensions and a cross-bar, the latter extending at right angles to the length of the shank and being inwardly depressed In testimony that I claim the foregoing as opposite the bill, the said loop extensions promy own I have hereto affixed my signature in jecting an equal distance on each side of the the presence of two witnesses.
said arm so as to provide an extended engag- ELLERY A. JOHNSON. 5 ing-surface for the eye and secure an equal \Vitnesses:
