Boex HANGER.
APPLICATIGH FILED NOV. I9. |917'.
Patented Nov. 26, 1918:
WILLIAM CHN CHERRY, 0F NEW YORK, N. Y;
BooK-HANGER.
To all lwhom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VILLIAM JOHN' CHERRY, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New 'Yorin in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Book-Hangers, of which the following is a specication. I
This .invention relates to book hangers and' more particularly to a book hanger adapted for application to books, such as directories or other reference books,which are provided with a perforated corner adapted to receivea device whereby the boo may be-suspended from a convenient hook, nail, or other member.
The invention has for an object to provide a book hanger of this type in which simplicity of construction and ease of application are combined and whichalso will be adapted to accommodate itself to convenient suspension of the book in such different positions as local conditions may render desirable.
A further object is to provide a hanger capable of adhering closely to the general outline of the book to permit of close packing of the latter in quantities for shipment withgthe hanger applied thereto.
For further comprehension of the inven. tion, .and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accom anying drawings, and to the appended c aims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a perspective view of the hanger showing it applied to a book.' I
Fig. V2 is a side elevation thereof with the book shown in transverse section.
Fig. 3 is an elevation of the hanger taken at right angles to Fig. 2.'
Fig. 4 is a top end view of the hanger.
As shown in the drawings the hanger comprises a single length of preferably steel wire bent upon itself between its vends to form a'loop 2 for attachment to a.hook or the like, further reference to this loop being presently made. e i c One end of the wire is bent back upon itself for a distance preferably slightly less than the Athickness of the book, a portion of which is shown at 3, to constitute a narrow loop 4 which is inserted crotch end foremost Speccation of Letters Patent.
Application led November 19, 1917. Serial No. 202,814.
Patented'NoV. 26, 1918.
in the transverse perforation 5 formed 1in the upper rear corner of the book.
The other end of the wire is continued downwardly from the loop 2 along the face of the book, as shown at 6, and the extreme end thereof is bent upwardly to form a hook 7 which is adaptedfto engage in the crotch 8 of the loop 4.
Between the suspension loop 2 and the narrow loop 4 the wire is bent horizontally as at 10 across and slightly spaced from, the
top of'the book, and then downwardly along the book as at 11.
As will be apparent from the drawings the crotch of the loop 4 forms, when the hanger is applied to a` book, an eye located lsubstantially flush with the face of the book and in which the hook 7 engages.
The suspension loop 2 preferably extends in a general plane at an angle of 45 degrees to the general plane of the book, as indicated by the line inv Fi 4. The two' reaches of theloop'however, w ich extend upwardly from the portions 6 and 10 of the hanger, aebent outwardly in curves whose planes are respectively co-incident lwith .the face of the book and at right angles thereto. Thesetwo reaches preferably join one an other in the form of a downwardly extendingI` U-shapedA tongue .15.
his arrangement in effect provides a pair .of hooks 2- and 2, one vof which extends 'in the general plane of the 4book and the other of which extends transversely thereto.
The book may besuspended from either hook as desired., For instance, ifsuspended from a hook or the like projecting from a wall or other fiat surface of extensive area, the hook 2 would naturally'be employed, whereas if suspended from the small hook with which wall telephones are usually provided, and which generally project parallel with the wall and only an inch or two there from, the transverse hook 2f* would be the most convenient.
In order to enable the hanger to be thrown over to lie close against the top of the book for shipping I have shown the suspension loop as extending at an angle, or inclined, to
, the general plane of the portions 6 and 11,
this being more Aclearly shown in Fig. 3.
This angle is calculated in conjunction with the clearance between the horizontal por# tion 10 and the top of the book so that when the loop 2 is swung down to he on the book,
as shown in dotted lines, it Will. contact closely therewith throughout its entire length, the hook 2E lying on` the top of tion of the hanger to a book Will be apparent from the foregoing description, the resiliency of the metal permitting the hooked end to be sprung to one side While the loop is being inserted in the perforation 5.
If desiredl` the tongue 15 may be omitted, as indicated by the dotted line 20 in Fig. 3, the general arrangement of the loop 2 permitting the hanger to be readily suspended from diil'erently located hooks as above pointed out.
l/Vhat I claim is 1. A book hanger for perforated books comprising a single length of wire provided with means adapted to engage in the perfoyrationin the book, said hanger having a suspension loop Whose general plane is .at an angle of degrees to the face of the book.
2. A book hanger for perforated books comprising a single length of Wire provided with means adapted to engage in the perforation on the book, said hanger having a suspension loop Whose general plane is at an angle of 45 degrees to' the face of the book and Whose opposite reaches are bent in curves extending respectively parallel and transversely to the face of the book.
3. A book hanger for perforated books comprising a'sngle length ofvvire provided With means adapted to engage in the perversely to the fa'ce of the book.
4. A book hanger for perforated books comprising two main loops one of which engages in the perforation in the book and has one side thereof extending across the top edge of the'book, the other being a suspension loop, the latter loop bein@ inclined with respect to the former, for the purpose set forth.
5. A book hanger having book engaging means and provided with a suspension loop bent to form a pair of' hooks extending respectiv'ely arallel and transversely to the face of the ook.
6. A book hanger for perforated books comprising a substantially rigid member having a book engaging portion and a suspension loop, said suspension loop being substantially narrower at its upper end than the thickness of the book, said member being bent to cause said loop to eonta'et throughout its length with the top of the book When s'wung downlthereagainst.
