Application March 30, 1935, Serial No. 13,934

Claims.

The present invention relates to an improvement in cup-holding hooks, of the type set forth in my copending U. S. application Serial No. 683,756, filed August 5th, 1933, for Hooks, and allowed on August 7th, 1934.

The present improvementcomprises the utilization of three of the components parts of the structure to coact with each other to firmly combine each other in rigid, operative assembly, this 10 being accomplished with a minimum number of parts and operations, thus creating a cup-hook of great efficiency and at an effective economy, in manufacture.

A further advantage in the present improved structure is that the spring hook of the present structure is sofirmly assembled to its shelf attaching screw, as to enable the userto operate the said hook, as a wing, to screw the attachment to a shelf, exactly as a wing-nut on a screw is utilized.

The foregoing, and other features of advantage will be understood, as the herein description proceeds, and it is obvious that modification may be made in the structure herein without departing from the spirit hereof or the scope of the claims.

In the drawing, all enlarged for better show- Fig. 1 is a side view of my device;

Fig. 2 is a rear View, as viewed from the left hand side of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a front view as viewed from the right hand side of Fig. 1;

Fig. 4 is a bottom view, looking upwardly from the lower end of Fig. 1;

Fig. 5 shows an enlarged, fragmentary sectional View taken on the line 55, Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows, showing the first assembly of the coacting parts;

Fig. 6 is a View similar to Fig. 5, showing the parts after they have been locked together in staked assembly;

Fig. 7 discloses a longitudinally sectioned means showing one method of staking the assembled parts of Fig. 5 together; and Fig. 8 is a View similar to Fig. 'l, of a modification.

As in Fig. l, the present device comprises a threaded, button headed metallic wood screw, generally denoted by I, comprising a threaded shank 2, a button or filister head 3, the latter being slotted across as at 4, Fig. 5, and at a, Fig. l. The head as in Fig. 5, is provided with two stepped,

cylindrical shoulders

5 and 6, located between said head 3 and threaded portion 2.

The resilient, cup-hand1e holding resilient wire hook generally denoted by 1), Figs. 1 to 4, comprises a convoluted single piece wire member having, as viewed in all figures, except Fig. 4, an upper round loop, or eye 7, which when in assembly, ismounted to rest on the ledge of and surround cylindrical shoulder 6, of the screw I, Fig. 5.

From the loop 7' the 'wire is bent downwardly, forming a downwardly curved portion h and then is bent into a curved mouth forming portion i and then curved upwardly and backwardly as at 9, Fig. 1, to and into the screw head slot 4, and then, bent at an angle and located in said slot relative to the said loop h, i, and g, as at 70, Fig. 4.

The angular portion is of the hook entering the slot 4 is for oifsetting the wire from portion 9, over to the rear, outer, lowermost coil (1, as viewed in Fig. 4, to form the first loop of the coil of spring loops cl, so that when the plural loops (1 are formed, they are disposed offset from the screw axis a, Fig. 1, but are substantially, geometrically disposed, relative to the longitudinally lo cated axial line a'a', Fig. 4.

After the completion of the plural coils d, and as in Fig. 4, the wire is bent into a curve e, downwardly, and then in an upward curve, as at c and then, terminating in a down curved lip ,f, Fig. 1 with a resilient openable contact, at the mouth, or entrance junction m, thus forming, with curve 1, of the rigid loop h, i, and It an easily openable cam like entrance for the handle of a cup, or similar article, as shown dotted at 2, Fig. 1.

As viewed in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, the loops h, i, g, and c are offset from the axis of the screw I."

After the spring hook I) is fabricated, and as it is to be understood that the hook portion 12 is made up separately, it is then assembled to the screw, as will now be described. To fasten the ferrule l, the screw l and the hook element In together, in firm rigid assembly, the spring eye 7 is placed over the cylindrical step 6, Fig. 5, as previously outlined, and the angular portion 10 of the spring I) is snapped into the slot 4 of the screw head 3.

Then the cup-like, metal ferrule l, is provided with a central bore to snugly fit over the upper, smaller cylindrical step 5, Fig. 5, and thus-rest upon the upper face of the eye 7', as in Fig. 5.

Then thestep of assembling all three pieces is done, as in Fig. '7, wherein the assembly of parts, as in Fig. 5, are introduced into the interior chamber l2 of a bottom die block l0, said die block having its chambered face flat, as at l3. Then a hollow staking punch H, with a staking front edge or face Hi, is brought down upon the upper face of the step 5, and pressure brought to bear upon the said upper face of shoulder 5, thus deforming said upper face and staking or riveting it over the inner annular edge 8 of ferrule l, as in Fig. 6, by the overflow of the deformed top edge E5 of shoulder 5, in addition, this staking action causes the ferrule l to be deformed as at |6-I 5, by the eye 7' of the hook I). Simultaneous With the above action, the edges of the screw slot 4'1, are also deformed, as at 99, Fig. 6, enclosing about the exposed face of the angled wire portion k, thus staking it firmly into the slot 4. The foregoing operation may be done with one stroke in a punch press.

The amount of deformation of the slot end of the screw head is shown relatively, by the clot and dash construction at IT, Fig. 6, which is the outline of screw head before the staking of k in the slot 4 takes place.

As thus described, it is obvious that the staking or riveting operations thus assembles the three components of the cup-hook in rigid assembly, such operation being performed at a single blow.

It will be noted that the portions 7', h, i, g, and 7c of the hook are non-resilient, and form an upper striking guard for a cup handle when in the hook and when inadvertently struck upwardly.

The remaining portions of the hook, such as c-e and d are resilient and are supported in resilient cup handle receiving and removing position, by the non-resilient portions thereof, when in operation assembly upon the threaded screw l and the under side of a shelf.

Fig. 8 is a view similar to Fig. 7 and in most features is identical with the exception that the eye 7' is fitted about a plain cylindrical post 6, without steps and the upper edge portion thereof is rolled or riveted over the eye portion 7' as at 5, Fig. 8, thereby to lock the ferrule IS in position.
