D. M. SARKISIAN DRAPERY AND READING HOOK Filed May 22, 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 ATTORNEY atented Jan. 12, 1932 PATENT OFFICE DICKBAN M. SARKISIAN, FOREST HILLS, NEW YORK nmmw AND Application filed May 22,

The invention relates generally to drapery anging devices, and more especially to a ook member adapted to be secured directly the drapery. It has for its object a novel ook member which may be quickly and coneniently applied to the drapery and may as :adily be removed therefrom, the invention )ntemplating a hook member which requires 0 sewing or like operation in the attachment iereof.

To this end, the invention comprises a hook evice with sharpened point or prong which 'ill readily penetrate the material composing 1e drapery and which hook member may be manipulated that it may be positioned in rid drapery in manner to prevent normally ;s dislodgment therefrom, said hook memer, furthermore, being adapted'to fit over r into drapery-supporting devices as curtain ings and the like, slidable, for example, long a curtain rod.

The nature of the invention, however, will est be understood when described in connecion with the accompanying drawings, in rhich:

Figs. 1, 2 and 3 illustrate various forms of be novel heading hooks; and Figs. 4 and 5 re transverse sections thereof taken on the ines 44 and 5-5, Figs. 1 and 2 respectively.

Figs. 6 and 7 are respectively a side and ront elevation of a, simplified form of the .ook or drapery pin; and Fig. 8 is a vertical ection therethrough taken on the line 88, ig. 6 of the drawings, and looking in the iirection of the arrows.

Figs. 9 and 10 are, respectively, side and ront elevations of a modification in the implified form of hook.

Figs. 11 and 12 are, respectively, a front ele- 'ation and plan of a form of hook member If the type illustrated in Figs. 1 to 3 and idapted for mounting directly upon a rod r the like.

Fig. 13 is a perspective rear view of the uper portion of a curtain and illustrates the manner of suspending the same from a curain rod by means of the novel heading hook, more especially of the nature shown in Figs. .5; while Fig. 14 is a similar View illustratng the manner of attaching the curtain by READING HOOK- 1928. Serial No. 279,647.

means of the simplified form of hook of the nature shown in Figs. 6-10, inclusive.

Referring to the drawings, the hook illustrated in Figs. 1-5 is of a type more especially adapted for supporting a stiffened heading of 86 a curtain or the like, and comprises a length of more or less resilient wire 10 bent at its opposite ends, for example, to form the two

hook portions

11 and 12, respectively. The latter are designed to pass freely through 00 the curtain or like member to be suspended, as through the inner wall of the heading 15 thereof, Fig. 13 of the drawings, and to be brought back again to the outer surface, as indicated. The included cloth material pockets then more or less within the circular section of a hook portion; and dislodgment or loosening may be more or less obviated by a turned or bent-in portion affording slightly

constricted throats

16 and 17 of the respec- 70 tive hooks,

To mount the aforesaid heading hook on a rod or like member, for example on the curtain rod 20, rings 21 may be provided to slide along said rod in the usual manner and having eyes 22 carried thereby which are adapted to receive a down-turned extension or hook 23 of the novel hook member. This latter element may be mounted on the length 10 in any suitable manner, for example as indicated in Figs. 1 and 4, by means of a clamping slug or block or like member 25 designed to receive corresponding bent portions or

lateral bulges

26 and 27 respectively of the wire length 10 and hook extensions 23.

As indicated in Figs. 2 and 5, the hook extension 23' is itself provided with a clamping inner portion 28 fitting over the bent portion 29 of the wire length 10; while as shown in Fig. 3, the inner end of the hook extension 90 portion 30 is continued and twisted about a portion of the length 10 of the heading hook member proper.

Figs. 6-8 illustrate a simplified form of the novel hook member, which is intended more especially for ordinary curtains not provided with a heading; and the prong of the Wire portion 36 thereof is in this instance downwardly directed and at its other end is bent inwardly and then transversely to form a loopor eye constitutinga stop member 37 to revent dislodgment of the entlre hook memher when the same is attached to a curtain.

-Furthermore, the prong portion 35 will tend to coact with said stop member 37 to enhance the holding action. Similarly,as illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10,.the prong 38 is downwardly directed and the opposite end of the Wire length 39 is'turned inwardly but provided with a cross-bar or rod 40 in place of the eye member 37 of the previously described embodiment.

In attaching the modified type of hook member to a curtain as the curtain 41, Fig. 14 of the drawings, and which is adapted to slide upon a rod 42 by means of the curtain rings 43 having the eyes 44, a

prong

35 or 38 is first forced inwardly in inverted position through the material, then brought forwardly through the same and through an eye 44 of a ring 43, whereupon the hook member is pulled forward sufiiciently to bring its stop member, as the eye 37, against the corresponding'face of the curtain, as shown. It will be understood, also, that the bent portion of these modified hooks is adapted for mounting directly over a rod, rather than causing the same to pass through an eye of a ring, etc.

As illustrated in Figs. 11 and 12, the type of hook member shown in Figs. 1 to 3 may also be modified to ride directly upon a curtain rod or the like; and to this end it is formed with the single prong 45 and the wire length looped around to afford, for example, the elliptical closed loop 46 for fitting about a suitable rod.

In the useof the foregoing hook members it will be appreciated that an especially useful result is achieved in being able to dispense with any permanent securing of the hook member to said material as by sewing, which has been the general practice heretofore. This also facilitates removal of a hook member; it being understood, however, that when in position said hook member is securely located against dislodgment.

I claim:

1. A drapery hanging device of the character set forth, comprising a wire shank portion having an entering prong offset therefrom and adapted to pass through a curtain to hold itself therein and afford hanging means for the curtain, and the opposite end of said device being provided with means to pre vent withdrawal of the same from the curtain and comprising a transversely extending portion of the wire located between the shank and prong and adapted to retain the curtain between itself and the shank.

2. A drapery hanging device of the character set forth, comprising a wireshank portion having an entering prong ofi'set therefrom and adapted to pass through a curtain to hold itself therein and afford hanging means for the curtain, and-the o posite end of said device being provided wit means to prevent withdrawal of the same from the curtain and comprising a transversely extending ortion of the wire located between the shan and prong, the prong continuing beyond the said extending portion which is adapted to retain the curtain between itself and the shank.

3. A drapery hanging device of the character set forth, comprising a wire shank portion having an entering prong oflt'set therefrom and adapted to pass through a curtain to hold itself therein, and the opposite end of said device being provided with means to prevent withdrawal of the same from the curtain and comprising a transversely extending portion of the wire located between the shank and prong, the prong continuing beyond the said extending portion and bent away therefrom, and the said extending portion being adapted to retain the curtain between itself and the shank.
