GARMENT HOOK.

INVEN T08 A TTORNEYJ YYYYYYYYYY was 00. mormumo, msnmumu u c UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIQE.
JOHN JOSEPH HORAN, OF NElV YORK, N. Y.
GARMENT-HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,742, dated May 18, 18 97.
Ap licati filed July 31, 1896. Serial No. 601,157. (No model.)
To a, whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, J orm J osErH'IIonAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York city, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hooks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying d rawings, forming a part thereof, in which similar letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My invention has relation to garmenthooks, my object being to provide a means whereby upon the removal of an article from the hook an alarm will be given.
Hy invention will be hereinafter fully dey scribed, and specifically set forth in the annexed claims.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of myinvention, showin the position of the hook in use. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the hook released, and Fig. 3 shows one form of the general use to which my invention may be put.
Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a base-piece adapted to be secured to a wall or partition by any suitable means. Attached to the base-piece 1, by means of braces 2, is a casing 3, whose sides 4 project and are provided with bearings 5, to be hereinafter described. A block 6 is arranged interiorly of the casing and is provided with a toe 7,11aving a bearing for a rod 8, the other end of the said rod passing through a bearing in the insulating-block 9. A spiral spring 10, pressing against the shoulder or enlarged portion 11 on the rod 8, normally keeps the end 12 of the rod 8 on the outer side of theinsulating-block 9. Attached to this said enlarged portion 11 is a pin 11, which passes through a slot 3 of the casing 3. Properly secured to the lower side of the casing is a flat spring 13, whose free end normally projects dowmvard. The hook 14 is of the ordinary form and is journaled on a spindle 15, which rests in the bearings 5. A heel-piece 16 projects backwardly, and arranged above the heel-piece is a nipple 1'7.
18 indicates a piece of insulating material secured above the toe-piece 19 by means of a screw 20.
A battery 21 is located at any convenient point, and from it the wires and 23 are suitably connected to the apparatus 0. (Shown in the drawings.)
In use the weight of the hat 2t or other article presses the hook 1t down, as shown in Fig. 2, against the pressure of the flat spring 13, thereby breaking the connection between the end 12 of the rod 8 and the toe-piece 19 of the hook 14:. Upon the removal of the hat from the hook the spring 13 will act, throwing the hook up (see Fig. 1) and bringing the end 12 of the rod 8 and the toe-piece 10 of the hook in contact, thereby completing the cireuit and announcing, by means of the alarm or bell 25, that the article has been removed from the hook. This alarm willcontinue un til contact between the toe-piece 10 and the end 12 of the rod 8 is broken, which operation is performed by sliding the rod 8 to its left until its end 12 releases the toe-piece 10, when the spring 13 will act and throw the hook upwardly in the position shown by dotted lines, Fig. 2 of the drawings, whereby the end 12 of the rod 8 will be in contact with the insulator 18 for breaking the circuit.
A device of this character will serve to lessen the loss of hats and other wearing-ap parel in public resorts.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. An apparel-support comprising a hook pivotally secured to a casing, means in said casing for completing an electric circuit upon the removal of an article from the hook, and means for ceasing the alarm, comprising an insulator adapted to be thrown into engagement by the elevation of the hook, said hook being provided with a heel-piece and toepiece for operating said circuit, substantially as shown and described.
2. An apparel-support comprisinga casing provided with bearings for the support of a pivoted hook, a spring secured to said casing adapted to press against the heel of the hook, and cause the hook to be raised when released, thereby completing the circuit of an electric alarm, substantiallyas shown and described.
3. An apparel-support comprising a casing, a spring-actuated rod in said casing, bearings in said casing, a hook pivotally seemed in said bearings, and provided with means for the making and breaking of an electric circuit, substantially as shown and described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in pres- Io ence of two Witnesses, this 27th day of July, 1896.
JOHN JOSEPH I'IORAN.
