Definitions

  • a hook for the hand hooking of rugs comprises a body tapering in narrowing sense from a hook portion to its opposite end and'a V-shaped member pivotably connected to the body and riding in a slot therein to open and close the hook portion.
  • the invention relates to hooks for the hand hooking of rugs.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a portion of a rug backing showing the warp and weft threads
  • FIG. 2 shows a thread hooked in the backing of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates the manner of hooking a thread in the rug backing
  • FIG. 4 shows a conventional needle employed in rug hooking
  • FIG. 5 shows a conventional hook employedin rug hooking
  • FIG. 6 is a side elevation view of a hook according to the invention in closed position
  • FIG. 7 shows the hook in open position
  • FIG. 8 shows a portion of the hook of FIG. 6
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken along line IX-IX in FIG. 7;
  • FIG. 10 shows the hook at one stage of a hooking operation
  • FIG. 11 shows the hook at a subsequent stage of the hooking operation
  • FIG. 12 shows the hook at a still further stage of hooking operation
  • FIG. 13 shows in side elevation an end of the hook remote from the hook portion thereof.
  • Hand hooking employed for example in the making of rugs known as hooked rugs, is associated witha canvas forming the rug backing or foundation, and heretofore has been performed with a needle, bymeans of which threads of a textile, usually wool, were knotted onto the said canvas.
  • FIG. 1 shows such a canvas made up of warp threads 1 and weft threads 2.
  • the hooking is achieved by introducing fibers, generally of wool, into the canvas, along the path shown in FIG. 2.
  • An end or length of wool fiber 3 is inserted from top to bottom with regard to the drawing, that is toward the operator located in front of the canvas, under the weft thread 4, in such a way as to leave a tuft of fiber hanging out, this corresponding to the reference number 3.
  • the excess is then threaded behind weft thread 5 but immediately to the right of thread 4 and on the row before, coming out therefrom at 6.
  • FIG. 2 shows the knot loose, and the knot is pulled tight by exerting tension on the tuft 6.
  • Tufts 3 and 6 are then pulled perpendicularly to the plane of the canvas and cut to the: same length.
  • Such hooks are known and are used in machines and particularly for invisible mending.
  • a pivotal tongue or blade 14 closes the mouth of the hook 15, when the latter is drawn forward and opens by falling back when the hook is pushed away.
  • these hooks are fitted individually on a shaft 16.
  • the hook is pushed away under the knitting weft thread.
  • the blade opens, the wool tuft is passed into the hook and drawn backward.
  • the blade shuts and the hook carries the wool tuft along with it.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a hook of a similar type, butwhich avoids these drawbacks, and permits quick and unidirectional operation.
  • the hook according to the invention comprises a body tapering from a hook portion to the opposite end and closed by a pivotal finger exhibiting in its closed position a knuckle protruding from the body at the surface thereof opposite the hook opening, so that a pressure applied onto said knuckle has the effect of pushing the finger back into the open position, said knuckle being located further back with respect to the hook portion, than the portion of the finger forming the closure of the hook portion.
  • the hook shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 comprises a flat body 19, which tapers in width in a direction away from the hook portion 20 to the opposite end 21 where it almost comes to a point..
  • body 19 located below hook portion 20, there is provided a central longitudinal slot 22 extending through the entire width of the body as seen in FIG. 9 where the thicknesses are greatly exaggerated so as to make the graphic presentation clear.
  • a part 23 Inside the slot 22 is a part 23 having an aperture 24 at one of its ends mounted on a riveted pin 25 (FIG. 9).
  • the part 23 has the form of a very squat V as seen in FIG. 8 whose vertex 26 forms a hump or knuckle opposite which is a tapered arm 27 constituting the end opposite the joint at 25.
  • the hook is passed under a weft thread 29 by pushing it forward (FIG. exactly as in the conventional procedure with the needle.
  • the pointed end 21 of the hook makes this operation easy, and it can be made still easier by slightly inclining the pointed end away from the plane of the body at 21 as shown in FIG. 13.
  • FIG. 10 intentionally shows the hook closed.
  • the knuckle 26 of this hook passes into the canvas, mesh, which pushes the knuckle into the body 19 and causes the arm 27 to pivot and open the hook portion as shown in FIG. 11. It is then easy to introduce the wool staple into the open hook portion.
  • the hook according to the invention opens on encountering the threads of the canvas at a given point of its travel, and closes after having accomplished a further movement in the same direction, its motion being therefore unidirectional, as with the needle method.
  • This hook therefore combines the advantages of the needle and of the conventional hook.
  • the closure position of arm 27 could be determined by its contact with the end 20 of the hook portion. This would, however, provide the'possibility of fine tufts of canvas or also of the staple being improperly twisted during the working operation. For this reason, it is preferable to establish the closing position by using the inside wall of slot 22 as a stop at 22'. This allows the closing position to be fixed so as to ensure easy and accurate slipping of the hook across the canvas.
  • the drawing illustrates the hook according to the invention on greatly enlarged scale, the normal size of the hook being about 8 cm in length.
  • a book for hand hooking rugs comprising an elongated body including a hook portion at one end thereof which is open at one side of said body, and a generally v-shaped flat plate member including first and second arms in V arrangement with a vertex portion joining the arms, said first arm having one extremity thereof pivotally connected to said body within said slot, the second arm of said member having an extremity extending out of said slot facing and closing said hook portion, said vertex portion extending outwardly from the other side of the body and being located with respect to the hook portion to move said second arm away from the hook portion upon insertion of the body in one direction between adjacent warp fibers, continued movement of the body in the same direction causing pivotal movement of the member and closing of the hook portion by said second arm.
  • a hook as claimed in claim 1 wherein said other arm of said flat plate includes a second vertex portion accommodated in said recess, and comprising a pivot passing through the apex of said second vertex portion and joining said V-shaped member and said body.
