RICHARD AHLERS, OF BROOKLYN, NEV YORK.
GARMENT-HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,584, dated February 13, 1894.
Application tiled December 9, 1893. Serial No, 493.233. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, RICHARD AHLERS, of Brooklyn, Kings county, New York,have invented an Improved Garment-Hook, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a hook for suspending coats and other garments, and which will set off an alarm when the garment is removed. In this way an unauthorized removal in public places, such as restaurants, dro., can be quickly detected.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure l, is an elevation, partly in section, of a series of myimproved garmenthooks. Fig. 2, is an elevation, partly in section, of one of said hooks, and Fig. 3, a cross section on line Fig. 2.
The letter a, represents a case or molding which is perforated vertically as at a. lVithin this perforation there plays the shank of a downwardly extending hook b, which is exposed at its lower end. The upper end of the hook-shank is headed as at b', and below this head the shank is surrounded by a coiled spring c, that rests upon a perforated face plate d, through which the hook passes. Above the upper end of the hook, there are secured to the case or molding a, two contact springs e, that connect with the line wires f, of an electric circuit. These line wires lead from the contact plates to a switch g, a call h, and the battery z'.
In use the switch is closed when a garment A is suspended from the hook, and as the weight of the garment will draw the head b', down, it will open the circuit. As soon however as the garment is removed, the spring c, will throw the hook upward,so as to close the circuit and set off the alarm. If it is at any time desired to put the apparatus out of action, it is only necessary to open the switch.
What I claim isrlhe combination of a perforated case with a perforated face plate d, a movable garment hook having a headed upper end b', an encircling spring c, a pair of contact springs e, and an electric circuit embracing a switch and alarm, and connected to said springs, substantially as specified.
RICHARD AHLERS.
