Description
CAROLINE UMNITZ, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
HOOK AND EYE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 3, 1907.
Application filed February 16. 1907. Serial No. 357.673.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CAROLINE UMNITZ, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hooks and Eyes, which improvements are fully set forth in the following specification.
This invention relates to improvements in devices of that class commonly known as hooks and eyes, the same being quite extensively availed of for fastening purposes in connection with articles of wearing apparel,
I and the like.
The object of this invention is to provide a device of the character above indicated, which shall be simple and inexpensive as regards construction; durable, eflicient and reliable in practical service; which shall em body features of construction whereby all tendency, in the practical operation of the device, to a wearing effect on the material, as thread, made use of in fastening the hook proper of the device to a garment, orv the like, shall be obviated; which shall be con- Venient in its application to practical purposes; and which shall possess certain welldefined advantages over prior analogous constructions.
The invention consists in the novel combinations, details and parts whereby, together with the novel relative disposition of said parts, the attainment of the foregoing object is rendered practicable, all of which will be more specifically referred to hereinafter and set forth in the appended claims.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference-numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the respective views, as to which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a hook and eye embodying my said improvements. Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is a detail, fragmentary view, on an enlar ed scale, showing more clearly the practical application of my improved device.
In a general sense my present invention comprises a hook for a hook and eye, provided at its rear extremity with opposing, primary fastening-loops, occupying one and the same plane, and an elastic eye-retaining stem, the latter having a secondary fastening-loop formed integral therewith, at it shank, said secondary fastening-loop occupying substantially the same plane as that occupied by each of the primar fasteningloops aforenamed.
In practice, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, Iform the hook proper of my improved hook and eye, from a suit able length of wire of proper temper", bending and returning the same to form the usual bill 2, then jointly bending the opposing members 3, 4 of said bill and returning them beneath and somewhat beyond the bill 2 proper, terminating one of them, as 3, in a primary fastening-loop 5, and bending and returning the other, as 4, in a manner to.
form an additional primary fastening-loop 6, in opposition to, and in the same plane as, the loop 5, and forming an intermediate member. 8, humped or upwardly and (lOWD- wardly turned, as denoted by the numeral 7, at andbeneath the bill 2, and which member 8 projects between the members 3 and 4E, and forwardly along the hook proper ofmy im roved device, towards its nose or forward en whereupon said member 8 is turned or bent around both of the members 3, 4, thus tying the same together, and at the same time forming a secondary fastening-loop 9, and from thence projected upwardly somewhat and terminated in an eye-retaining stem 1 1, whose free end elastically rests upon or engages the hump 7, of the member 8, the loop 9 being situated, accordingly, at the nose of said hook proper, and occupying substantially the same plane as that occu pied by each of the fastening loops 5 and 6, aforenamed.
The usual eye 12 is employed in conjuncand well known manner, the free end of the stem 11 being momentarily displaced from the hump 7, and against its own elasticity, during the operation of passing the eye 12 in either direction between the hump 7and the bill 2, for the engagement or disengagement of said eye by the hook proper, aforenamed; but in prior analogous devices the fastening material, as thread, and as ordinarily used, traverses the members 2 .and 3 crosswise, forwardly of the hump 7, for securing the hook proper to a garment or the like; and this, said fastening material, is subjected, when thus used, to a serious wearing effect, since it largely lies in the path of limited movement which the eye 12 is accorded, when engaged by the hook proper of the device as a whole, in the usual manner.
I overcome the foregoing objectionable features of prior analogous devices, by providing my improved hook with the fasteningloop 9, in conjunction with which fastening material, as thread, may be used in securing the forward portion of said hook proper to a garment, or the like, and whereby the fastening material thus employed is taken out of the reach of the eye 12, when engaged by said hook, said fastening material being, accordingly, relieved from any wearing effect such as above alluded to, in the practical operation of the device as a whole.
It will be seen that my improved device is particularly well adapted for the purposes for which it is intended; and further that the same may be modified to some extent, within the scope of the appended claims, particularly as regards the details of the general c0nstruction involved in the formation of the fastening-loop 9, without materially departing from the spirit and principle of my invention.
I claim:
1. A hook for a hook and eye comprising opposing primary fastening-loops, occupying one and the same lane; a bill projecting in the direction of said primary fastening-loops and somewhat above the plane thereof; and an intermediate member, the latter projecting forwardly of said hook proper, beneath said bill, turned or bent around the same to form a secondary fastening-loop, at the nose or forward end of said hook proper, and from thence projecting somewhat upwardly and terminating in an elastic eye-retaining stem, said secondary fastening-loop occupying substantially the same plane as that occupied by each of said primary fasteningdoops, substantially as herein specified.
2. A hook for a hook and eye formed from a length of wire, bent and returned to form a bill having opposing members, the latter be ing jointly bent and extended beneath and somewhat beyond said bill, one of said members terminating in a primary fastening-loop, and the other being bent and returned to form an additional primary fastening-loop and an intermediate member, the latter ex tending forwardly along said hook proper, beneath the bill thereof, being bent or turned around both of said members, thereby tying the same together, and at the same time forming, at the nose or forward end of said hook, a secondary fastening-loop, and from thence projecting somewhat upwardly and terminating in an eye-retaining stem, said primary fastening-loops and said secondary fastening-loop occupying, respectively, substan tially one and the same plane, substantially as herein specified.
