UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
'lI-IEOPI'IILE EUPIIRAT, OF DARIEN, CONNECTICUT.
HANGER FOR POULTRY, GAME, 800.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 552,358, dated December 31, 1895.
Application filed January 17, 1895. Serial No. 535 ,185. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, THEOPHILE EUPHRAT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Darien, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hangers for Poultry, Game, &o., of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of an improved simple strong wire gripping or clasping device in which alooped wire, adapted to be suspended at the bend of the loop by a hook or other suitable means, has gripping fingers 0r jaws formed of the lower portions of the members of the loop by bending them at right angles or nearly so to the rest of said members and laterally to the plane which the members of the loop occupy relatively to each other, said jaws or fingers being suitably curved to clasp around a leg of the object to be hung up and hold it in the hanging position with less injury to the leg and in a more attractive and pleasing appearance than as hung by the hooks of common use, as hereinafter fully described, reference being made tothe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved hanger in its simplest form. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a duplex hanger of like character. Fig. 3 is a side elevation, and Fig. 4 a plan view, of a quadruplex hanger of the same invention; and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of devices and objects illustrating the general application of the improved hanger in use.
I take a piece of spring-wire of approved size and bend it double, forming a ring or eye a at the middle, two parallel shank portions 1), and two laterally projecting hookjaws 0, one on each terminal portion of the shank portions 1), both projecting in the same lateral direction at right angles or thereab'out to the plane of the two shanks and fronting each other, and suitably curved to grip or clasp an object between them when closed upon or toward each other, the shank portions being set so that the jaws spring open, and on the shank I provide a jaw-closing ring d which being forced down toward the jaws when a leg of an animal, bird or fowl is inserted between them will cause the jaws to grip and hold it fast.
In Fig. 2 I represent two of such hangers placed together back to back for hanging a pair of objects together, said hangers being preferably connected at the top, as by an eye eof one wire coiled or twisted around the other in the first part of the forming of the hanger.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I represent a quadruplex hanger formedsubstantially of two such single hangers thus placed back to back and connected at the top in any approved way, and also having eyes f or other equivalent means formed in the ring a, in which two other hangers are suspended by their eyes a, said additional hangers being also back to back relatively to each other but with others between them.
The first mention ed hangers are represented in Figs. 3 and 4 with the jaw closed together as when holding an object, the clasp-rings (I being shifted down in close proximity to the jaws, while the other hangers are open. Thus it will be seen that these improved hangers can be used singly or in clusters and will suspend game of any kind in an attractire manner. It will be seen that such hangers suspended by hooks, as 9, attached to a post or a rod h pendent from the ceiling, can be utilized to advantage in the way of inviting displays of such food objects as they are intended for.
In Fig. 1 I represent the clamping-hooks c as made with points by which the hanger is also adapted for engaging and hanging up fish or cut pieces of meat of any kind. The points may also have an upward turn as also shown in said figure to facilitate the use of the hanger in this manner.
I claim A hanger for game, poultry and other objects, consisting of a number of elastic wires which have their upper ends formed into rings or eyes a, and small rings f, and their lower ends bent into horizontal hooks, combined with the closing rings cl, one of which is placed upon each pair of wires; and the shorter hangers, suspended from the rings f; the longer hangers having their upper ends crossed at their centers and secured together, substantially asshown.
Signed at New York city, in the county and State of New York, this 16th day of January, A. D. 1895.
