UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

GEORGE WV. TUCKER, OF WATERVILLE, CONNECTICUT.

WARDROBE-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 425,918, dated April 15, 1890.

Serial ITO-335,787- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE WV. TUCKER,'a citizen of the United States, residing at Waterville, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in WVardrobe-Hooks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

Myinvention relates to the construction of wardrobe-hooks, towel-racks, and similar articles,more especially a fine grade thereof, and has forits object the production of an attractive and salable article, which may be pro-' duced at such an extremely low cost as to enable it to be placed upon the market at a price no greater than the present price of much inferior goods.

\Vith this end in view I have devised the novel construct-ion of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

I Figure 1 is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a back view, of one of my novel wardrobe-hooks; and Fig. lis a top plan view, the arms of the hook being removed and the central portion thereof in section.

As the invention is precisely the same when applied to the various articles of this general class, I have deemed it sufficient for the purposes of this application to show it applied to wardrobe-hooks as I place them upon the market.

The entire device consists of three parts adapted to be formed by dies-to wit, a baseplate, a hook, and an attaching-plate.

' 1 denotes apiece of heavy wire bent to form a hook or pair of hooks, the central portion of said piece (denoted by 2) being left straight to provide a ready means of attachment to the base-plate, which is denoted by 3.

4 is an attaching-plate, the central portion 5 of which is curved to fit closely around the around the edges and clamped down firmly' upon the back of the base-plate, as clearly shown in Figs. 3 and 4:, thereby holding the parts firmly together.

The device is secured in place upon a strip or any suitable piece of wood-work by means of screws passing through holes 6, made through the attaching-plate and the baseplate, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3.

It will be noticed that my improved construction is such as to enable the parts all to be formed mechanically and the assembling together of the parts to be performed by dies. The hooks, including the central portion by which they are attached in place, are formed by a suitable machine from a coil of wire. The base-plate is struck up and formed complete at a single operation. The attachingplate is formed at a single operation, and the securing together of the parts is performed at a single operation, hand labor being entirely dispensed with in the manufacture.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- A pivoted Wardrobe-hook consisting of a
