HOOK AND EYE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,939, dated February 6, 1900.
Application iiledApril 13, 1899. Serial No. 712,853. (No model.)
To il whom it may concern:
Beitknown that LMARYDIANTHA WATSON,
of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hooks and Eyes, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to hooks and eyes and similar fastenings, and has for its object to provide certain improvements therein whereby they may be readily attached to and detached from the edges of a garment without causing the latter to wrinkle and without stretching the fabric or making large holes therein.
To these ends the invention consists of a hook and eye or similar fastening Whose members have certain features of construction and relative arrangement of parts, as illustrated upon the drawings, described in the following specitication, and set forth in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters marked thereon, forming a part of this specification, the same letters designating the same parts or features, as the case may be, wherever they occur.
Of the said drawings, Figure 1 represents a hook and eye embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents an edge view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a longitudinal section through them. Figs. 4c and 5 represent crosssections on the lines 4 land 5 5 of Fig. 3. Fig. 6 represents the first step in attaching the members to the edges of a garment. Fig. 7 represents them as secured in place. Fig. 8 shows the members as engaged one with the other. Fig. 9 represents an edge View of the members in engagement. Fig. lO shows the manner of carrying the ends of the pins into engagement with the guards.
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that my improved fastening consists of two members a and h, one provided with an eye a and the other with a hook b'. Y
The member a is substantially flat and is formed on its face with the upwardly-turned guards a2, which project inwardly or toward each other and are arranged in parallelism with each other and with the median line of the said member. In the rear of said guards is a reduced portion a3, which at its end is projected laterally and bent into tubular form, the bend being located below the surface of the member, as best shown in Fig. 3. The axis of the tubular portion a4 is perpendicular to the median line of the member, whereby it is adapted to receive a doublepronged or U-shapedpin c. The prongs of the pin are long enough to be engaged with the guards a2, as shown in Fig. 7, and in order to permit them to be moved into engaging position after they have been inserted in the fabric the member a is formed with the .slot or recess a5 between one of the guards a2 and the median line of the member, as clearly shown upon the drawings.
The hook member h is formed with the hook proper, b', as previously stated, said hook being bent upwardly, so as to lie above the upper face of the member. There are two guards h? b2 similar to those ated, and the double-pronged pin CZ is mounted in a tubular bearing o4 at the end of the member similar to that at a4, and for the purpose of allowing the prongs to be properly engaged with the guards the member b is formed with the slot or recess h5.
In attaching the members to the edges of the garment the prongs of the pin are thrust through the fabric, so that their ends project therefrom toward the edge of the garment, as shown in Fig. 6. ri"he body of the member is then swung about the cross-bar of the prong as its fulcrum until it lies flat upon the fabric. Then the two prongs of each pin are swung laterally in the same direction relatively to the median line of the member into the position shown in Fig., 10,7whereby the ends of said prongs may be passed from .a plane below the body of the member to a plane above it, the end of one of the prongs passing through the slot a5 or b5, as the case ma'y be. Thereafter the ends of the prongs are slipped under the ends of the guards a2.
lt will be noted that the guards a2 and h2,
as well as the hook b', lie above or in frontof the faces of the members, while the tubular bearings a4 b4 for the prongs are on the obverse of each member or in the plane below the lower or rear face thereof. Consequently the members are held in the closest engagementwith the cloth and do not stand up from IOO it to any great extent, the plane of the prongs of the pin intersecting the plane of the body of the member.
One of the particular advantages of the hook and eye members of my device as thus described is that either may be attached to the fabric of a garment Without stretching or Wrinkling it. Where the two members of a U -shaped pin are thrust through a fabric and are subsequently drawn toward each other or separated to engage the'm with the guards, the fabric between the members is either wrinkled or else torn or stretched. In my device the two parallel members of each prong or pin are moved in lthe same direction to carry them to a plane above or in front of the members and there is no danger of tearing, stretching, or Wrinkling the fabric.
Having thus explained the nature of the invention and described a Way of constructing and using the same,W although without attempting to set forth all of the forms in which it may be made or all of the modes of its use, I declare that what I claim s l. A hook member of a fastening device consisting of a base provided with a hook and with guards all projecting upward from its face, said base having an aperture or slot b5, and a U-shaped pin hinged in said base and in its obverse, and having its members adapted to be engaged by the said guards, Without separating said members, substantially as described.
2. A hook or eye member of a fastening device consisting of a' base provided with guards projecting above its face and With a tubular bearing projecting below its face, and a U- shaped pin hinged in said bearing and having its prongs movable laterally in the same direction to engage them with the guards, whereby said members are not spread apart When moved into engagement with the guards.
A hook or eye member of a fastening device, consisting of a base having a hook or eye on one end, a tubular bearing at the other end, guards bent over upon the face of the member, and a U-shaped pin pivoted in said bearing and adapted to have its prongs swung by said guards in the same direction laterally 5o into engagement therewith, said base being provided with a slot or recess to permit the passage of one of the said prongs.
In testimony whereof I have al'iixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
