HOOK AND EYE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 27, 1908.
Application filed November 11, 1907. Serial No. 401,663.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, VIRGIL E. MORSE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Shelton, in the county of Fairfield, and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hooks and Eyes; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying draw ings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings mmstitute part of this specification, and represent, in
Figure 1 a side view of a hook and eye constructed in accordance with my invention and showing the hook engaged with the eye. Fig. 2 a top view of the same. Fig. 3 a top or plan View of the hook. Fig. 4: a plan view of the eye detached. Fig. 5 a sectional View showing a modified arrai'lgement of the attaching loops for the hoop member.
This invention relates to an improvement in hooks and eyes, and particularly to the smaller hooks and eyes made from wire and adapted especially for garments, the object being a simple construction which not only forms a hook, but also a spring shoulder therefor in the nature of a ball and socket fastener, so that after the hook is engaged with the eye, a shoulder will be snapped into engagement with the eye whereby the hook is locked in position, thus avoiding accidental disengagement; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
In carrying out my invention I employ an eye 2 of usual construction embodying a circular portion and small loops 3 by which it may be secured to a garment. The hook is also formed from a single piece of wire having attaching loops 4 at opposite ends. The wire is doubled upon itself and from the loops extends upward and rearward forming a short hook 5. The bill 6 is turned abriuptly forward in a plane parallel with the plane of the loops and corresponds in length substantially to the diameter of the eye 2. The end of the bill is then turned down at a substantial right angle forming a shoulder 7 and the central portion of the wire bent to form an attaching loop 8. The hook 5 is first engaged with the outer portion of the eye 2 in the usual manner of hooks and eyes. Then the shoulders 7 are forced downward between the converging ends of the eye member adjacent to the attaching loops 3. By this construction a very short hook is employed, that is, the engagement with the eye is made at a point close to the attaching loops 4 of the hook, and so that when attached the overlapping edges of the fabric will be held together much closer than when the hook is formed with a long bill beneath which the eye passes, and when the point of engagement with the eye is at a considerable distance from the attaching loops of the hook member. As the shoulders 7 are forced between the converging sides of the eye the wire of the eye will yield so that the engagement at that end of the hook member is on the order of a ball and socket snap.
As shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the attaching loop 8 of the hook member is turned inward but it might be turned outward as shown in Fig. 5 of the drawings. The shape or form of the attaching loops may, of course, also be modified as desired.
I claim 1. The herein described hook for hooks and eyes formed from a single piece of wire having a loop formed in the center thereof and at opposite ends of the wire, the intermediate portion of the wire bent into U-shape extending obliquely upward and rearward forming a short hook, and thence forward in a plane parallel with the plane of the loops and thence straight downward forming a locking shoulder at the forward end of the bill.
2. The herein described hook for hooks and eyes formed from a single piece of wire having a loop formed in the center thereof and at opposite ends of the wire, the intermediate portion of the wire bent into U-shape extending obliquely upward and rearward forming a short hook, and thence forward in a plane parallel with. the plane of the loops and thence straight downward forming a locking shoulder at the forward end of the bill, and an eye with which the said hook may engage and between the sides of which the shoulder of the hook may pass, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witneses.
VIRGIL E. MORSE.
