Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 25, 1919.
Application filed November 18, 1918. Serial No. 262,919.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARA B. SIMrsoN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Winnetka, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fastening Devices, of which the following is a specifica tion.
This invention relates to fastening devices or hooks to be used in connection with garments, gloves, and other lines in which two parts are to be connected.
Hooks now generally in use comprise a member bent or doubled back on itself in'a manner to have parts in engagement with each other for receiving and releasablyre taining an associated eye member. Such hooks, in addition to being rather thick, are easily ruined when subjected to a compressive action occasioned, for example, when the goods to which the hooksare applied are passed through a wringen When such books, therefore, are flattened out, as a result of the compressive action, said hooks no longer will receive or retain associated eye members. On the other hand, the hooks are rendered absolutely useless.
Accordingly, one object of my invention is to provide a hook for garments or the like which will not be rendered useless when subjected to a compressive action.
Another object is to provide a simple, du-
rable and relatively flat hook adapted to meet successfully the requirements for the intended uses.
The invention is illustrated on the accompanying sheet of drawings, in which Figures 1, 2 and 3, respectively, are a plan view, and side and end elevations of my hook;
Fig. 4 is a plan view of an associated eye member;
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the eye and hook in hooked relationship; and,
Fig. 6 is a view showing the .hook and eye applied to two associated members which are to be connected.
The various novel features of the inven tion will be apparent from the following description and drawings and will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
Referring to the figures of the drawings, it will be noted that I have provided a fastening device comprising a member of resilient material and including a frame portion 10 and a tongue 11 which is adapted to engage a complementary member, such as an eye 12, for receiving and releasably retaining the latter in a locked or hooked relationship with the tongue and frame, as shown in Fig. 5. The frame portion 10 and tongue 11 lie substantially in a single plane, thereby providing a relatively flat book. The plane in which the frame portion 10 and tongue 11 lie is transverse to the plane in which the tongue .is yieldably movable. The frame portion 10, as shown, has one of its sides 13 formed integrally with the tongue 11, the opposite side 14 of the frame being releasably engaged by the tongue to form a barrier therefor. The tongue side 13 of the frame is elongated to provide an extended torsionally resilient axis of tongue movement.
Normally the tongue engages the frame side 14 with considerable pressure which must be overcome when applying and withdrawing the eye member. Preferably the outer end of the tongue is curved over the frame to facilitate the operation of the parts and to avoid any protruding edges which might prove an annoyance. It will be noted that the tongue is narrower than the loop or eye 12, and that accordingly it is a simple matter to apply the latter to the hook. In placing the hook and eye in locking relationship, the eye is drawn under the tongue 11 and between the latter and the frame side l4,'temporarily springing the tongue out of engagement with the frame side 14, causing the torsional twist in the frame side 13 to be increased and likewise the stored energy increased. As soon as'the eye 12 is drawn inwardly beyond the frame side 14, it becomes releasably looked, as shown in Fig. 5. In this position, it will be noted that parts of the eye rest in depressions 15 in the frame side 13, which depressions receive turns of thread 16 to prevent shifting of the frame and also making it possible for the hook and eye to lie in the same plane. The frame side 14 also may be provided with depressions 17 and the eye 12 with depressions 18 for the reception of turns of thread to prevent shifting of the members in question. The hook and eye may be separated in a reverse manner from that of the application of same, the tongue 11 temporarily being forced out of engagement with the frame side 14.
In Fig. 6, I have shown my hook and eye applied to two parts which are to be connect'ed together orfastened. The hook and eye may be applied to garments of various description and arranged at any desired angle to meet the special needs. An eye member is not essential, for any suitable apertured member Which will cooperate with the hook will be satisfactory.
It Will be observed thatcompressive action exerted upon this flat hook will not damage it in any. manner. whatsoever; if anything, such action will improve the hook, whereas all fdrms of hooksused for garments and the like are collapsed or ruined when they are pressed, such, for example, as in-passing through a wringier. g
It isjny intention to cover all modificathis of. the invention as set forth in the following claims.
I claim:
1. A fastjning device comprising member' of resilient. material and including a frame portion anda tongueadepted to engage a complementary member, said frame portion and t ngue lying substantially in a single plane that is transverse to the plane of. movement of the tongue, said frame portion having one side integral with the tongue and antopposite side cooeratingwith the tongue totem a barrier t ierefor, the'tongue side of the frame being elongated to provide an extended torsionally resilient axis of tongue 7 movement.
2. fastening devicecomprising a mem ber' of resilient mat rial and including a frameportion and a tongue adapted to engage a complementary member, said frame portion and tongue lying substantially in a single plane that is transverseto the plane of movement of the tongue, said frame ,portion having one side integral with the tongue and an opposite side cooperating with the tongue to form a barrier therefor, the tongue sideof the frame being elongated to provide an extended torsionally resilient axis of tongue movement, the tongue being narrower l torsionally resilient axisof tongue move ment.
4. A fastenii'ig device comprising a member including a frame portion and a tongue adapted to receive a complementary member, said frame portion having one side integral with the tongue and an opposite-side cooperating with the tongue to form a barrier therefor, the tongue side of theframe being elongated to provide an extended torsionally' resilient axis of tongue movement, the tongue and complementary fastening member being connected by a continuous relative movement, in one direction.
' 5. A fastening device comprising a frame portion and a tongue portion, the latter engaging the former as the result of torsional action extended over a relatively long axis.
6. A fastening. device comprising a frame portion and a tongue portion, the latter engaging the former as the result of torsional action, the frame and tongue portions lying substantially in the same plane.-
