UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
REUBEN C. ELDRIDGE, OF NIAGARA, CANADA.
SNAP-HOOK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 582,780, dated May 18, 1897.
Application filed January 15, 1897. Serial Nol 619,277. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, REUBEN C. ELDRIDGE, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Niagara Falls, in the county of Welland, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented new and useful Ilnprovements in Snap-Hooks, of which the following is a specification. Y
This invention relates to snap-hooks which are provided with a pair of hooks arranged at opposite ends of the body.
The object of my invention is the production of such a double snap-hook Which is comparatively short and sightly in appearance and which permits the use of a single spring or tongue for both hooks, thus providing a spring of sufficient length to render it resilient and durable.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of my improved snap-hook. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section thereof. Fig. 3 is an edge vieW of the hook.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the several figures.
The snap-hook is substantially S-shaped, and comprises a body or shank A and a pair of hooks B B, arranged at opposite ends of the body and facing in opposite directions. The body or shank and the two hooks are cast or otherwise formed in one piece, and the body forms a common shank for both hooks and is arranged obliquely to the longitudinal center line of the hook.
C C represent spring-tongues which respectively bear at their free ends against the noses of the snap-hooks, so as to close the mouths thereof in a Well-known manner, and which are connected by an intermediate mem ber C2. These spring-tongues and the connecting member are preferably bent from a single piece, and form together a substantially S-shaped spring, as shown in the drawings. The central member C2 of this spring and its bends c are seated in a longitudinal slot or recess d, formed in the shank in the same plane as the hooks B.
e e represent transverse pins or rivets which are arranged in or intersect the slot CZ of the body near the ends thereof and around which the bends c of the S-shaped spring extenchso that said bends are loosely conned between the pins or rivets and the ends of said slot. These pins or rivets form abutments against which the tongues C C' of the spring are strained in depressing the same and around which the bends of the spring are free to slide to a certain extent. The straining or deflection of either tongue is thus transmitted to the intermediate spring member C2, and the resilience of the spring is thereby not only increased, but the spring is rendered more durable. The S-shaped form, while providing a spring of sufficient length to insure the desired elasticity and durability, occupiesv at the same time a comparatively small space, as the tongue of one hook lies against the back of the other, thus permitting the snaphook to be made correspondingly shorter and lighter.
My improved snap-hook is especially desirable asa bit-snap, but may also be used for the various other purposes of ordinary snap-hooks.
I claim as my invention 1. A double snap-hook, comprising abody or shank, two oppositely-facing hooks arranged at opposite ends of said body or shank, and a single continuous spring composed of two outer branches or tongues bearing respectively against the noses of said hooks and an intermediate member connecting said branches or tongues, substantially as set forth.
2. An S-shaped snap-hook comprising a body or shank having a longitudinal slot or recess, two oppositely-facing hooks arranged at opposite ends of said body or shank, transverse pins or rivets arranged in said slot near opposite ends thereof and a continuous S- shaped spring seated in said slot and extending with its bends around said pins or rivets and bearing with its outer branches or tongues against the noses of said hooks, substantially as set forth.
Witness my hand this 19th day of November, 1896.
REUBEN C. ELDRIDGE. Witnesses:
Lois ELDRIDGE, KATIE I-loUsE.
