LAMBREQUIN-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,555, dated April 5, 1857.

Application filed December 27, 1886. Serial No. 222,604. (No model.)

T0 ,aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JULIUS BER'BEOKER, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lambrequin-Pins, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in lambreqniapins, used for suspending lambrequins, &c., from curtain-rings on poles. These pins have heretofore been constructed with a curved hook which was passed through the eye ofthe ring, and whenever the curtains or lambrequins were seized for the purpose of moving them the prongs of the hooks were apt to leave the eyes of the rings.

The object of my invention is to prevent this, and to furnish a lanibrequiu-pin which is simple in construction and not liable to get out of the eye of the ring.

The invention consists of a lambrequinpin having a hook made with springs, which can be compressed while passing the hook through the eye of the rin but having sufficient tension for ordinarily holding the hook in the eye and preventing said hook from being withdrawn from the eye while moving or shifting the curtain or lambrequin.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face view of a lanibrequin-pin provided with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a face view of another con- Fig. 4 is a struction of the lambrequin-pin. side view of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre sponding parts.

The lambrequiupin A is provided with one or two spring-pin tongues, A, the pointed ends of which are adapted to rest in sockets B, formed by bending the wire of which the pin is made, which pin is provided with a curved hook, O, which can be passed through an eye of a curtain-ring. The two strands of wire forming the hook are curved or bent from each other to form the spring parts D, the width of the hook being greater at said spring portion D than the inside diameter of the eye, so that in order to pass the hook through the eye said spring parts must be pressed slightly toward each other until they have passed through the eye, when they will expand by their spring tension and prevent the removal or withdrawal of the said hook except by pressing the spring parts D toward each other, so as to decrease the width ofthe hook at said spring parts. I have shown the spring parts as projecting laterally; but it is evident that they may be formed in an y other manner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pate11t- As an improved article of manufacture, a lambrequin-piu made of a single piece of wire bent to form a spring-pin, and asocket for the same, and also to form an extending hook, the two wire sides of which are bent to have opposite laterally-projecting spring parts for the purpose of retaining the hook in the eye through which it is passed, substantially as shown and described;

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JULIUS BERBEGKER.
