COAT AND HAT HOOK.

SPECIEPTCA'IION forming part of Letters Patent No. 382,097, dated May 1, 1888.

Application filed August 1, 1887. Serial No. 245,829. (No model.) I

To all whom. it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. LAWSON, of the city and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Goat and Hat Hooks, of which the following is a specification.

Goat and hat hooks have heretofore been prov1ded with a locking device, and my present invention is an improvement upon that class of hooks.

By my improvement a hat, coat, umbrella, and satchel or other article can all at the same time be locked upon the hooks, so that the same cannot be removed therefrom by an unauthorized person. a

In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation ofthe invention,showing the parts locked,with one side of the case removed to more clearly show the construction. Fig. 2 is a plan view.

The case H is stationary and provided with flanges h, for receiving screws by which the holder may be attached to a partition or sup por The two sections A B of the hathook are pivotally connected to the case H, the section A being connected by the pin 1 and the sec- Mon 13 by the pin 2. The shank of the section B interlocks with the upper end of the shank of the section A when the parts are brought together, there being a projection or hook, a, on .one entering a recess or notch, b, on the other. A spring, Z, between the shank of the section B and the top of the case H, and attached to said case, acts to throw the section B upwardly, and a spring, 0, attached to the case H, and between it and the shank'of the section A, acts to throw the section A of the hathook forward and slightly upward, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. The ends of the sections A'and B, betw'een'which the hat is held or clamped, are provided with flat or rounded buttons or knobs p 10, and the ends of the sections come sufficiently close together when the parts are locked to prevent the removal of a hat; but there is sufficient space getween such ends to prevent injury to the The coat or satchel hook O is secured to or Eade integral with the under part of the case piece, 3,which end piece is rounded on its upper surface, so as to prevent injury to a coat when hung thereon.

This hook O is provided with an end A ring or horizontal hook, D, having an 7 opening for the insertion of the handle of an umbrella or cane, is upon one side of the case H, and at one side of the shank of the section B of the hat-hook is a downwardly-projecting arm, E, which,when the parts are locked, closes the opening of the umbrella ring or hook D and securely fastens the umbrella in the holder.

A catch, G, projects from the shank of the section A of the hat-hook and enters a slot in the case H, and engages with a spring-latch, I, in the case, or any suitable locking device.

The case H is provided with a hole for the insertion of the key J for unlocking the parts, and the case is secured to or made integral with the flanges, by which the device is fastened to a wall or other place.

By turning the key J the spring-latch I is lifted, thereby releasing the catch Gr, and the lower section, A, is released and swings forward, and the section 'B of the hat-hook is thrown up by the action of the spring I, thus separating the interlocking portions or b, and the arm E swings away from the opening to the umbrella-ring D, and, as the section A of the hat-hook is thrown forward and upward by the spring 0, the lower part of the shank is separated from the coat-hook C, so that the articles that have been locked up in the holder can be removed, or an umbrella or cane,-a satchel, a coat, and a hat, or either of them, can be put into their places and secured by closing down the sections A B of the hat-holder.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combinatiomwith the case H, of the hook-section B, pivoted to the case and swinging upwardly, the hook-sectionA, pivoted to the case, and the spring 0, to swing the hooksection A forward and upward, the hook C below the case H and behind the shank of the hooksection A, so as to be closed thereby when the section is swung down, the interlocking projections upon the shanks of the respective hook-sections A B, the catch G, and spring-latch I, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination, with the two hook-sections A B, the shanks of which interlock when brought together, and the case H, to which the said sections are pivotally connected, of the arm E, projecting from the shank of the section B, the open ring D at one side of the case H, the spring Z between the shank of the section B and the top of the case H, the catch G, and latch I, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with the case H and the stationary hook 0 below the same, of the hook-sections A B, pivoted to the case and having interlocking projections, the open ring 15 D upon the case, the arm E upon the hooksection B, the springs Z and o, for acting upon the hook-sections to open the same when unlatched, the catch G, and the spring-latch I, for holding the parts when closed,substantiall y 20 as set forth.

Signed by me this 27th day of July, 1887. WM. H. LAWSON.
