HOOK FOR CHATELAINE OR OTHER BAGS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 603,145, dated April 26, 1898.

Application filed I 11116 10, 1897.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN KLEINSTUBER, of New York city, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hook for Chatelaine or other Bags, of

which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain improvements in hooks, such as those to which chatelaine bags and similar articles are attached, anddesigned to be used by hooking over the upper edge of a belt.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views. Figure 1 is aview of the improvod form of hook as attached to a belt. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, taken from the inner side; and Figs. 3 and 4. are respectively a plan View and a longitudinal sectional view of the blank from which the hook is made.

The object of my invention is to construct a hook adapted for use in suspending such objects as chatelaines from belts and to provide means for securing a covering material thereto in a manner which will be more secure than pasting, and yet will be cheap to manufacture and pleasing in appearance.

With this end in view I first form a blank, such as is shown in Figs. 3 and 4, of thin sheet metal. It is provided with a body portion A and a narrow portion. B, designed to be bent so as to form the hook proper. The body portion A may be made of any shape desired, the shape thereof being controlled by ornamental reasons. The body portion A is provided with two sunken recesses D, which preferably will be so placed that they will unite on their inner edges, as shown in the drawings. The recesses D are formed by forcing the metal beneath the level of the main portion.

At the lower ends of the recesses D the metal is separated from the body portion, forming apertures E, through which the straps F used for suspending the chatelaine are inserted. The manner of the insertion of the straps is clearly shown in Fig. 2, and the fierial No. 640,170. (No model.)

straps F are secured in place by rivets passing through the apertures d.

The outer edges of the blank are rolled over toward the face, as clearly shown in the drawings. The part a, which extends about the curved portion of the device, is shown as being notched on its edge, while the portion 6 upon the straight shank is shown as straight. This is, however, only a necessary incident to rolling the edge over on a curve. The blank is then completed by placing a cover O, of leather or any suitable ornamental fabric, within the space formed by the rolled or turned edges of the blank.

It is of course to be understood that in the formation of the blank, before the leather or other ornamentalfacing is applied, the edge is not rolled down closely, but projects in such a manner that the covering may be readily applied. After the cover has been applied the edges of the blank are rolled down, so as to clamp the cover securely and hold it in place. The blank is then bent into the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2. This forms a very neat and attractive design and is also'a very secure way of securing the cover to the blank or base-plate. It also secures the cover better than by pasting or the ordinary methods. The attachment of the straps F is also more secure than by the ordinary manner.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A hook for chatelaine bags and similar articles, composed of sheet metal having a body portion provided with two recesses stamped therein near one end, with one end wall of each of said recesses removed forming holes adapted to receive suspending-straps, a narrow arm projecting from the opposite end and bent to form a hook, the outer edges of said hook being rolled over, and a fabric secured beneath said rolled edges, substantially as described.

J. KLEINSTUBER.
