Specification of Letters Patent. Patented'June 2C, 1911.
Application filed November 22, 1909. Serial No. 529,340.
- invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to spring hook fasteners specially adapted to hang small articles 'on Christmas trees and for other similar purposes, and it consists of a specially constructed hook as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
.In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the fastener drawn to a greatly enlarged size for clearness. Fig. 2 is a View showing the fastener turned around one-quarter from the position shown in Fig. 1. I
A is a thin wire of spring steel, or other similar resilient material, which is tempered so that it will bend freely without being distorted. This Wire has hooks B formed one at each end of it, and preferably projecting in opposite direct-ions and arranged inthe same plane. The middle portion C of the wire is flattened between the two hooks, and the flattened portion is preferably arranged in the plane of the hooks. This flattened portion makes the fastener very stiff in one direction, and permits it to vibrate very freely crosswise of the plane of the hooks. Small articles have usually been tied on Christmas trees, and as the trees are generally prickly the fingers become sore when large trees are decorated.
In use one hook of the fastener is sprung into engagement with a branch .of the tree, and the article is suspended from the other hook. Theflattened port-ion C permits the. article to vibrate and glitter to advantage on the tree, and the fingers are not hurt or soiled in'decorating the tree.
What I claim is:
A hanger for displaying fancy articles on Christmas trees, comprising a single piece of fine spring wire having hooks at its ends,
the upper hook being adapted tobe sprung into close engagement with a branch of the tree, said wire having also a flattenedv portion'in its shank between the hooks which stifiens it in one direction and makes it more resilient than the upperhook in the other direction, so that the article suspended fromthe lower book may vibrate freely when the tree is shaken without loosening the hold of the upper hook on the branch.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature,
.in presence of two witnesses.
CARRIE KOCH.
