UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SAMUEL REYNOLDS, OF ALLEGHENY, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT l N SNAP-HOOKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 138,935, dated May 13, 1873; application filed April 5, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL REYNOLDS, of Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Snap-Hooks and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure 1 of the drawing is arepresentation of a plan view of my snap-hook. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same.
This invention has relation to snap-hooks, and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of the tumbler, whereby it is designed to be located opposite the end of the hook, having one of its branches in contact therewith.
This invention is an improvement upon the snap'hook described in my Letters Patent N 0. 124,628, dated March 12, 1872, and its object is greater ease of operation, with capacity for receiving rings or loops of comparatively larger size.
In the accompanying drawing, the letter a designates the body of the snap-hook having the loop I), the side bars 0, and the hook'*d. In the side bars are cast from the under side the journal-seats e, opposite the end of the hook. 2 represents the tumbler. This is a triple-flanched device having at its ends jourciently long to be in .contact with the end of the hook d, the end of the flanch being curved upon a circle having its center in the axis of the tumbler. The lower flanches c w form the base of the tumbler, which rests on the spring 70.
When a ring or loop is passed into this snap, the tumbler is pressed downward in its journal-bearings, and is at the same time turned forward toward the base of the hook d, until the ring or loop slips by, when it resumes its original position with its end in contact with theends of the hook. When the ring is drawn backward out of the snap, from under the hook, the tumbler is carried backward toward the body to, until the ring slips out, when it resumes its original position. being arranged near the base of the spring, enables the latter to operate with great freedom.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The snap-hook, having the journal-seats e,
cast in the side-bars opposite the end of thehook, the spring 70, and the tumbler z, having the journals s, the base-fianches o w, and the trip-flanch n, in eontactwith the end of the hook, substantially as specified.
/ In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.
