Application filed September 28, 1922. Serial No. 590,018.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, James W. MoGmin, a citizen of the United States,'resid1ng at Los Angeles, in the county of 'Los Angeles and State of California,-have invented new and useful Improvements in Drapery Hooks, of which the following is a s ecification.

My invention relates to. rapery hooks, particularly adapted to be detachably secured adjacent the upper edge of a drapery and to engage over a rod, in order that the drapery may be properly hung in place at a window or other opening; and is designed as an improvement on the hook shown and patent entitled Drape hooks, bearing umber 15263,

grants to me J an. 10th, 1922.

The hook described in the above mentioned patent, although very eflicient, has not proven entirely satisfactory, inasmuch as the shear exposed points on the hook end frequent y pricks the. fingers of the person handling the dra ry, and cansin damage to the fabrics by ecoming entang ed therein; moreover'the time consumed in threading the hook through the fabric is objectionable. It is the ob ect of my present invention to provide a hook for the purpose above described, which will overcome the above reco cited dificulties and which will be simple,

durable, efficient and inexpensive of manufactnre, endwhich may be easily and quickly adjusted to the drapery material.

Another object of my invention is to proat vide a hook which when secured in position will become yieldingly locked to the drapery material, thus-guarding a' ainst its becoming accidentally displaced t eretrom.

The above and other objects of my invenco tion will he more fully disclosed in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a back view of the top so of a fragment of drapery showing the various cs stages of the application of my. proved hook thereto.

Fig. 2 is a section through the same, taken on the line 2-2 of F 1 viewed in thd direction indicated by t e arrows.

In carrying out my -invention the hook is formed t medi hard and preferably spring wire, bent to form the U shaped hook 5 having the arch 6 adapted toengage over a curtain rod, the-hook end 7, and the shank. portion 8. The wire at the end of the shank 8 is sobent as to form an arm 9 which extends upwardly along the outer edge of the shank and terminates adjacent the arch 6, the bend at the junction of shank 8 and arm v9 forms a spring loop 10 and: the end of arm 9 is sharpened to a point 11, said point extending slightly beyond the junction between the s ank 8 and the arch 6 as clearly shown in the drawings. The end of the arm I '9 just below the point 11 is adapted to normally rest against the shank 8 as" shown at 12.

The top portion of a drapery is shown at I 13 which comprises a fabric which is folded upon itselt and hemmed at 14 to form the adjacent

parallel walls

15 and 16, the wall 15 constitutinw the body of the drapery.

In Fig. 1 o the drawings the hook designated by the letter A is shown in a osition ready to be inserted into the fabric. 5- tilting the hook slightly sidewiseit will be ob vious that the fabric wall 16 may be pierced by the point 11 of arm 9 and the hook pressed upward into the fabric as shown at B, the arm 9 restin between the

walls

15 and 16 and the wal 16 being impin ed between the arm 9 and shank 8, t us holding the hook yieldingly locked in position to the fabric and thoroughly concealing v the a 9 from view. The hook may then be readily turned to assume the position sho at G and then conveniently placed over the curtain rod.

By the above recited construction it will be apparent that the main weight of the drapery will be supported by the. loops 10 of the hooks and that the hemmed portion will be held upwardly by reason of being ilnpinged between the she 8 and arm 9.

it will be observed that when the hooks are secured in. position on the draperies, that the pointed ends 11 of arm 9 are concealed between the folds-of fabric, and consequently all danger of thehooks becoming entangled.
