HOOK AND EYE. No. 506,737. Patented Oct. 17, 1893.
UNTTED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
. WILLIAM S. SEYMOUR, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSlGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH S. KELLER, OF SAME PLACE.
HOOK AND EYE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 506,737, dated October 1'7, 1893.
'Application filed May 5,1893. Serial No.473,124. (No model.)
To an whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. SEYMOUR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hooks and Eyes; and I do hereby declare the following to beafull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
In applications for Letters Patent of the United States, Serial Nos. 468,802 and 468,803, filed April 3, 1893, I have shown and described forms of hooks and eyes of such construction that an entire series uniting the proximate edges ofgarment-s or the like may be disassembled from each other so as to unfasten the garment along the meeting edges by a single continuous stripping movement beginning either at the one end or the other end of the series.
The present invention relates to a modified construction of hook and eye embodying the generic features referred to, but difiering in its specific structure from the forms illustrated in my said applications.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a view of two pieces of fabric or garment flaps provided with hooks and eyes embodying my present improvements. Fig. 2 represents, in perspective, separate views of the hook and eye on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 represents a similar view in plan, and Fig. 4 represents a sectional view of the hook and eye assembled, also on an enlarged scale.
Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings, A, B, indicate two pieces of fabric, or the like, adapted to be fastened along their edges by means of my improved hooks and eyes.
The eye preferably consists, as in my prior applications referred to, of a how a of general rectangular contour, provided at its ends with the re-entering loops 1), as shown, whereby said eye may be sewed in the usual manner to the fabric so as to be securely anchored thereto. The eye is provided at its forward end with a downwardly projecting cross bar 'n.
The book is constructed from a single piece of metal, as, for instance, a single piece of wire, the wire being bent in such manner as to presentabill 0 extending upwardly with aslight incline from the forward end of the hook. Two co-operating guards at are made of engagement with the hook, it will require to be forced through the narrow interval referred to, the guards at yielding sufficiently to permit its passage, and thereafter springing back to their normal position so as to lock the eye in place. This movement of the guards d is practically very slight, but is sufficient for the purpose. The downwardly inclined cross-bar n of the eye brings the eye as a whole down more closely to the plane of the under surface of the hook, and the guards (1 being flatter than the corresponding guards of the construction shown in Serial No. 468,803, the eye a engages more readily with the bill a of the hook, in assembling the hook and eye, while at the same time, the cross bar n, by reason of its downward inclination is normally in a lower plane than the guards at when the parts are assembled, and has, therefore, no tendency to become disengaged under the ordinary strains to which the-garment is subjected when in use. At the rear of the hook are provided two re-entering loops f, as shown, and at the forward end of the hooks are provided the side wings e, which extend well forward on opposite sides of the bill 0, so as to form anchorages for the hook and so as to impart strength and rigidity to the bill c, and so that in tilting the eye sidewise to disengage it from the hook, the side bars of the eye will be fulcrumed upon said anchorages. It will be noted that the loops f are formed by the free end of the wire and that the anchorages e are formed at a part of the hook away from the free ends of the wire. By means of this arrangement, there is no liability whatever of the eye a catching into the free ends of the wire, which might happen with a careless construction of the hooks shown in my applications referred to.
To disassemble the eye from the hook, the fabric upon which the hook is sewed is held fast, and the eye is tilted sidewise and forced out in the tilted position between the bill or and guards d, and in this manner, by a single continuous stripping movement, beginning either at one end or the other end of a series of hooks and eyes embodying my improvements, the entire series may be disengaged from each other in succession. It will, of course, be observed, that the stripping effect is secured with equal facility and reliability,-
the side bars of the co-operating eye, whereby on tilting the eye sidewise, one or the other of the side bars will be fulcrumed upon one or the other of said anchorages; substantially as described.
2. In a hookand eye, a hook having a bill inclined from its base upwardly, outlying anchorages at opposite sides of the bend of the bill, said anchorages extending beneath the side bars of the co-operating eye, and two guards co-operating respectively with opposite sides of the bill; substantially as described.
3. In a hook and eye, a hook consisting of an inclined bill a, side wings e forming a continuation of the bill, guards d forming a continuation of the side wings, and terminal anchorages beyond the guards; substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presenceof two witnesses.
WILLIAM S. SEYMOUR.
