Description

Patented Feb. 2, 1932 UNETED STATES SAMUEL IB. KNIGHT, OF WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA DRAPERY HOOK Application filed October 26, 1931. Serial No. 571,143.

This invention relates to a drapery hook or drapery hanger and is designed especially for the hanging of draperies on a drapery or curtain pole, so that the draperies will not shift their position due to wind or other disturbances.

I am aware that heretofore drapery hooks similar to the form as shown in the drawings, have been used, but no means have been provided for securing the hooks to the pole on which they are mounted, and it is an object of this invention to provide a drapery hook which will have integral therewith means for securing the hook to the pole.

Some of the objects of the invention having been stated, other objects will appear as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my drapery hook;

Figure 2 is a plan view of a portion of a pole having one of the hooks secured thereon;

Figure 3 is a cross sectional View taken along the line 3-3 in Figure 2.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 10 indicates a curtain pole or drapery pole extending across the window or other portion of the building on which draperies are desired to be hung. Spaced along said pole, I propose to mount a plurality of drapery hooks, said drapery hooks comprising a hook member made of one piece of wire beginning at the point 11, and being bent to form the eye 12 to which the upper edge of the draperies are adapted to be secured and then the wire is bent downwardly, this portion being indicated by 18, then the wire is bent to form a portion of the hook which goes over the pole and this portion of the wire is indicated by 14, and the wire is bent upon itself as at 15, and the portion 16 is led back alongside portion 14 but slightly spaced therefrom.

The portion 16 extends downwardly as at 17 and is bent upon itself to form an eye 18 and has the upwardly projecting portion 19 parallel to portion 17, and this portion 19 extends between the portions 14; and 16,

and is turned downwardly and pointed as at 20 to form a barb which is adaptedto be driven into the pole 10 to hold the hook in adjusted position on the pole 10.

In Figure 3 the hook is shown in position on the pole, but before the barb 20 is driven into the pole.

The curtains or draperies are attached by sewing or other suitable means, to the eyes 12 and 18 of the hook, and occupy a position immediately along the righthand edge of Figure 3.

In the drawings and specification, there has been set forth a preferred embodiment of the invention, and although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the appended claims.

Claims:

1. A drapery support having a portion for engaging a pole and having a vertically disposed portion having eyes therein to which draperies may be secured, a barb integral with the hook for engaging said pole to prevent relative movement between the hook and the pole.

2. A drapery support comprising one piece of Wire bent to form an eye and being bent downwardly, then laterally and downwardly to form a hook, then bent laterally, upwardly then downwardly along the said already formed book, then downwardly, then bent upon itself to form an eye, then bent upwardly alongside the last-named downward bend, then between the two portions of said hook for a portion of the length of said hook, and having a pointed inturned end for engaging a pole when said support is mounted on said pole.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

SAMUEL B. KNIGHT.
