JAMES CARR, OF MANCHESTER, ENGLAND CURTAIN SUSPENSION-HCOKI To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMEs CARR, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Clarence Mills, Clarence street, Chester Road, i Manchester, in the county of Lancaster, Eng- 1 land, have invented new and useful Improvements in Curtain Suspension-Hmiks, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in curtain suspension-hooks, and particularly to those hooks which have prongs or hooked fingers adapted to enter transverse loops in a heading-tape or suspension-band on the curtain.

In carrying my improvements into efiect I form the upper or main suspension-hook as usual and I form two prongs or hooked ,fingers, which are turned back and preferably upward parallel with the shank of the main hook. The two prongs or hooked fingers have barbs, small hooks, or notches at their extremities to prevent them from slipping accidentally out of the transverse loops in the heading-tape.

In an alternative construction I form the hook with three prongs or hooked fingers and with barbs, small hooks, or notches at their lower extremities to hold the heading-tape.

In the accompanying two sheets of drawings, Figures 1 and2 are elevations of my improved suspension-hook formed with two hooked fingers and with barbed or hooked extremities. Figs. 3 and 4 are elevation and plan, respectively, showing the same applied to the heading-tape or suspensionband of a curtain. Figs. 5 and 7 are elevations, and

, Fig. 6 is a plan, of my improved suspension hook formed with. three hooked fingers with barbed or hooked extremities; and Figs. 8 and 9 are elevation and plan, respectively, showing the same applied to the headingtape ofacurtain.

Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In Figs. 1 to 4, a designates the upper or main suspension-hook; b, the shank; c, the two pron s or hooked fingers, and c the small hoo s, which according to my present invention I form at the extremities of the i Specification of Letters Patent.

l hooked fingers c to act as barbs and prevent the fingers from slipping accidentally out of 3 the transverse loops d in the heading-tape of the curtain e, to which the suspension-hook is shown applied in Figs. 3 and 4. .i

, In the alternative construction illustrated by Figs. 5 to 9 the suspension-hook is formed with three prongs or hooked fingers c, which 5 according to my invention are provided with i the small hooks c, as in the first construction. i

In the first arrangement theshank b is passed through one of the transverse loops (1 and the two fingers 0 through two other loops (1, whereas in the second construction the three hooked fingers 0 enter three loops (1, while the shank remains outside. The dil ference in the form of the respective plait or gather thus obtained with the two constructions is clearly seen on reference to Figs. 4 and 9;

tion a suspensiondnook with three prongs or fingers has been employed, and I lay no claim to such three-pronged hook apart from the barbsor hooks at the extremities of the prongs.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is- 1 l. The curtain suspension-hook having a main hook a, shank b, and two )rongs or hooked fingers c with barbsor small hooks c at their extremities substantially as and for the urposes herein described with reference to igs. 1 to 4.

2. The curtain sus ension-hook having a main hook a, shankll hooked fingers c with barbs or small hooks c at their extremities substantially as and for the purposes herein described with referenceto Figs. 5 to 9.

In testimony whereof I have signed. my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
