SNAP-HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 397,136, dated February 5, 1889.
Application filed June 21, 1888, Serial No. 277,803. (No model.)
To [LH zLf/wm may concern:
Beit known that I, HORACE G. MCLEAN, of McPherson, McPherson county, Kansas, have invented an ImprmYement in Snap-Hooks, of. which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the aeconr panying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates tothe class of snaphooks having a movable jaw or lever pivoted to a main portion, having an eye atene end and a jaw at the other; and it consists in the peculiar construction, combination, and ar- .rangement of parts, hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings, which illustrate the manner of carrying out my invention, Figure l is an edge view of the device in a closed position. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of same.
The object of my invention is to make a snap-hook which will be cheap and simple in manufacture and possess great strength and durability.
A represents the eye or that part to which the strap or rein is connected, and B the shank or extension leading from the eye and terminating' in a curve or jaw, C.
D indicates au arm or lever, also provided with a curve or jaw, (l, at one end, such jaw being the reverse of but corresponding to the jaw upon shank B, so that when the lever D is in its normal position upon one side of said shank the two jaws will rest upon eachother,
shown. ',lhe opposite end of leverD is provided lwith an elevated portion, E, which is located at an angle tothe main body of said lever. Said lever D is provided with one or more hinge-lugs, a, upon its under side, and it is pivoted or'fulcrumed to one face of shank B by means of pin or rivet l), passing through lugs a, so that when the end E is depressed the jaw carried by said lever will open in a plane at right angles tothe flat side of the jaw carried by shank B, as indicated by dot' (l d, which are provided with oppositely-inclined surfaces upon their inner sides, so that said jawsV will be forced apart by a ring or other device entering between said lugs.
In opening the lugs d d describe a line at right angles to the flat sides of the jaws C C.
Having thus described my invention, what l claim is- In a snap-hook, the shank or body B, having eye A at one end and an open hook at the opposite end, lever D, provided with a hook at one end and with4 an outwardly-turned elevated portion, E, at the opposite end, and which has hinge lug or lugs ct formed upon its inner side, said lever being' pivoted to one side of shank B, so that t-he hook will openin a plane at right angles to the hat side of the jaw carried by the shank, pin l), which connects lug or lugs c to said shank, and spring e, located between elevated portion E and the shank of the hook, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of -two witnesses.
HORACE G. MCLEAN.
