To all whom it may concern: a

Be 1t known that 1, JOHN O. Er c son, a citizen of the United States, res ding at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and, State or Cahfornimhave invented a new and;

in the pocket and applied to a convenient place for supporting wearing apparel.

Another object is to provide a device qwhich can be applied without the use of screws, nails, or similar means.

Another object is to provide a device which, in emergency cases, maybe applied in 7 rooms and at places where such a device is otherwise not desirable, and which may easily be removed without disfiguring walls or places to which it has been attached.

Other objects will appear from the following description and appended claim as well as from the accompanying drawing, in which-- I The figure is aperspective" view of aform of a clothes hook, embodying the invention, a board being indicated in dotted lines to illustrate the manner in which this device is applied.

Mouldings, boards, shelves and similar members in a house are of various sizes and shapes, and itwill therefore easily be understood that the attaching portions of the device must also vary to quite an extent to make the device adaptable to the conditions in different places. In the illustration in the drawing, the device is of a preferable form tobe used for hanging clothes in closets, this device being advantage.

The member 7" of the upper hoolcportio'n,

and the members 8 and9 in the lower hook-' portion, as also the claw-like termination 10 ot the "member 9, are merely suitable continuations of the whole design of the hook proper in an agreeableand pleasing aswell as a convenient construction of this form or the device, embo lying the invention. The

front ends 11 and 12 0'1" the upper and lower hook-portions ot the hook'proper are in this manner of a rounded form, so as not to catch so easily in'the. clothes and articles supported I by the hook proper.

The claw-like engaging members Qand 5, and the spring 4:, can, of course,be made of various forms and shapes to suit the conditions of boards, mouldings, and other members to which the device maybe applied,

without departing tromtheprinciple or this lnvent on. I i j it workmgman may easilycarryi a devlce of this form in hispocket and, at his place of employment, may apply the device to a fence or the bark of a. tree without much d iiicult as, will easily be understood. Out- 1ng parties may use this device with similar No screws, nails, or other similar means are necessary for-holding the devlce 1n pos1- tion, so itinay easily be removed without,

engaging claws projecting rearwardly near the highest point of the hook proper, a loop bemg 'fOlIllGClibY the wire near the claws, an engaging hock member, and a coil spring operati-vely connecting the loop on the hook proper with the engaging hook member.

In testimony that I'claim the foregoing asl my invention I have signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
