PORTIERE HOOK. APPLICATION FILED MAR;14,I917- 1,236,888. Patented Aug. 14, 1917.
\nvenTor. Hekhe L.Swe ney Ill?! I Mum Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 14, 191?,
Application filed Here 14, 1317. Serial No. 154,837.
To (ZZZ whom it may concern e it known that l, HELENE L. SWEENEY,
a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Boston, county of Suliolk, State of Massachusetts, have invented an lniprovernentiu Portiere-Hooks, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, like characters on the drawing representing like it parts.
This invention relates to a device for application to a portire, curtain or similar article presenting a hook by which the portiere, curtain or other article may be suspended from a suitable support such as the usual curtain rings upon a curtain rod.
The invention is in general an improvement upon the portiere holder disclosed in my application Serial No. 130,257, filed November 8, 1916 and the main object is to provide for the swiveling of the book of the type of portiere holder disclosed in'the said application.
A further object of the invention is to provide for a simple and cheap construction wherein the body of the portiere holder is secured together by the same features which secure the swiveling feature of the hook portion. I
The invention presents a portiere holder which is self-attachable to the portiere, curtain or other article and which therefore requires no sewing or fastening to hold it in place, and one in which by reason of the swiveling feature of the hook the portiere, curtain or other article automatically adjusts itself with respect to the device from which it is suspended.
The invention as in the case of the por 2c tiers holder disclosed in my aforesaid application provides a device in which the body or frame of the device is inserted within the upper folded edge of the portiere and lies concealed within the fold.. It further pree5 sents a device with an extended straight upper edge, upon which the fold of the portiere rests, and is provided with a pointed hook readilyinsertible through the material of the portiere.
5 .3 These and other objects and features of the invention will appear more fully from the accompanying description and drawings and will be particularly pointed out in the claims. SE The drawings show the invention in its preferred form for supporting a portiere on an ordinary rod provided with curtain rings.
In the drawings,
Figure l is a side elevation of a preferred form of portiere holder embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 isa top plan View of the construction shown in Fig. 1 with the shank of the hook section in cross section; 5
Fig. 3 is a perspective showing a curtain rod, rings and portiere suspended therefrom by the aid of the device embodying this invention.
The device as shown by Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings is formed entirely from wire which should be of sufficient size and strength to enable the device to maintain its shape under ordinary conditions of use and yet be of suilicient flexibility to enable it to be bent into the required shape.
The device comprises two portions, namely, the body portion and the hook portion.
The body portion is a thin flat frame with an extended upper straight edge adapted to lie within the folded edge of the portiere and to support the portiere upon the straight upper edge portion. This body portion is formed preferably of a suitable piece of wire bent to form the straight upper edge portion 1 with both ends bent back from said straight portion in the same plane and overlapped preferably at the center.
The hook portion comprises a shank 2 and the fabric penetrating curved point 3. The so hook portion is journaled vertically in the body to present an upstanding hook and by being journaled in the body thus swiveled so that the hook may turn at any desired angle with respect to the body portion.
The shank of the hook is journaled in vertically alined holes formed in the upper and lower portions of the body. For this purpose the central portion of the straight upper portion of the body is flattened at 4 and the overlapping ends are flattened at 5 and 6 and the vertically alined holes are formed in these flattened portions.
Preferably also the shank of the hook is flattened at 7 between the portions of the frame of body and is also headed at 8 at its lower end. The hook thus serves to secure together the overlapped ends of the body portion and is itself held in proper relation with respect to the body portion by the flattened portion 7 and the head 8.
The point of the hook 3 is bent slightly on'tvvar 1 nd is sharpened to a dull point may readily penetrate the (QI Y '0 .e article to be support out tearing: or injuring inding above the body of just suliicient size project above the fold- 1e portiere or curtain 10. It is ieuous and yet of ample size viable it to be hooked in,
the usual rings 11 runo. in the same manner as closed in my aforesaid appli- "hen s portiere 10 has one end 13 aoolt 3 inserted from the folded edge 9 and drawn @XLQIldQLl upper straight 1 lies against the inside i e While the thin flat frame ed by the article to be supportilded portion 13 of the portiere iovv as desired and may be lain layer of the portiere in It will thus be seen that a construction is presented which is readily manufactured, which is of a minimum cost, but which is of ample size and strength to perform its function While being inconspicuous or practically invisible.
Havin v full described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: 1
1. A portiereholder formed from Wire and comprising a thin fiat body member to lie Within the folded edge of the portiere, presenting an extended straight upper portiere supporting portion with both ends bent bac from said straight portion in the same plane and overlapped at the center; an upstanding fabric penetrating hook adapted to project above the folded edge and having its shank journaled in vertically alined holes in the center of said straight portion and in said overlapped ends, whereby the hook is sn'iveledto the body and the overlapped ends are secured together.
:2. A portiere holder having; the features defined in claim 1 and having the center of the straight portion and the overlapped ends, in which the alined holes are located, flattened transversely.
A portiere holder having the features defined in claim 1 and having; that portion of the hook shank between said alined holes enlarged and having the lower end of the hook shank headed.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
