Description

Patented Jan. 21, 1930 PATENT. OFFICE WILLIAM SHERMAN '.DOTY, OF KELLOGG, IDAHO RING-` Application filed March 8,
This invention rela-tes to improvements in ring hooks and more particularly to ring hooks for tow lines, cables, ropes and chains, and the objects of the invention are to provide a. simple and durable device to more eliiciently perform the function required of it, and which can be manufactured in quantities and placed on the market at low cost.
lVith the foregoing and otherl objects in View, this invention comprises a single strip of metal flattened and provided with an eye at one end and pointed at the opposite end, the intermediate portion of the strip being coiled.
Referring now to the drawings in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure- Y Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hook member.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the hook.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the hook.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, A designates a strip of metal in the form of a casting or any other suitable form provided with an inwardly-turned point 11 at `one end and a flat round head 12 at the other end, with an opening or eye 13 therein, the intermediate portion of the strip being coiled or formed with a helix as at 15. Joining the round head 12 and the intermediate portion 15 is a downwardly-extending neck 17 which is in alignment with the head 12 in all planes.
When the ring hook is used on a tow line for the purpose of towing motor vehicles, motor boats or other similar objects, the cable, rope or chain 16 is given a turn around a suitable pulling portion of the same, and the cable 16 is then twisted into the spirals 15 of the hook, which will present the appearance as seen in Figure 3. This will permit a straight pull on the cable, and at the same time prevent the cable from becoming disengaged from its connection even though it is 5 y untensioned.

tion 15 which greatly facilitates the disengagement of the cable 16 from the heliX.
As many changes could be made in the above construction, and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention, within the scope of the claim, constructed without departing from the spirit or scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification and drawings shall be interpreted as illus- Vtrative and not in a limiting sense.
What I claim as my invention is:
A ring hook formed of a single length of metal terminating at one end in a flattened round head having an eye therethrough, the other end of the hook being formed with an inwardly-turned point, an intermediate portion between the point and flattened end, a downwardly-extending neck portion integral with the round head and joining the head to the intermediate portion, said neck extending in alignment with the head in all planes, the intermediate portion of the hook being twisted to form a heliX adapted to receive a cable or the like substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
WILLIAM SHERMAN DOTY.
To release the tow line from connection 1 with its object, it is only necessary to slacken the rope and untwist it from the spirals 15, the neck portion 17 providing a greater space between the eye 13 and the intermediate por-
