MYRON B. HAMMOND, OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT.

HOSE-SUPPORTER HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,413, dated December 23, 1902.

Application filed July 1, 1902. Serial No. 113,987. No model.)

To all whont it may concern:

Be it known that I, MYRON B. HAMMOND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hose-Supporter 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.

My invention relates to hose supporter hooks, such as are adapted to be connected with the corset-clasp element, while from the bottom of the hooks the usual stocking-engaging members are supended.

The object of my invention is to provide a construction which may be attached directly to the loop of the corset-clasp without the use of any flanges or hooks which extend behind the corset-husk.

With these ends in view my invention consists in certain details of construction and combination of parts, such as will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically be designated by the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this application, Figure 1 is a front elevation showing my improvement as it appears when attached to the loop of the corsetclasp. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of that form of my improvement which is shown at Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a section at the line so as of Fig. 1; Fig. 4, a front elevation showing a modified form of my improvement as it appears when attached to the loop of a corset-clasp; Fig. 5, a section at the line y y of Fig. 4:, and Fig. 6 a broken front elevation illustrating the edge of a corset with its projecting corset-clasp loop.

Similar characters of reference denote like parts inthe several figures of the drawings.

The flat metal plate 4 is made of resilient metal and is cut away near its upper end in order to provide an elongated opening, as shown at 7, for the purpose presently to be explained.

The hooks 6 in connection with the stock of the plate adjacent to the cut-away portion 5 form sockets, and when the device is applied to the loop of the corset-clasp said sockets will snugly slide along the upper and lower edges of the loop, so as to embrace the latter firmly, while the main body portion 4 will thereby be forced across the busk, so as to bear thereon with considerable friction until the protuberances a, formed by the rivets which secure the loop to the busk, are brought within said slot. When the plate 4 is initially forced onto the busk, said plate will be slightly elevated against its resilience by the protuberances a; but the plate will assume its normal position flat against the busk when said protuberances have entered the slot 7, and the device will thereby be securely attached to the busk.

I do not wish to be understood as laying any claim whatever to a construction which employs hooks for grasping the loop along the upper and lower edges, but which does not contemplate a resilient body portion for exerting a grip against the corset-husk, since I consider that this body portion,provided with the slot, as aforesaid, is an essential feature of my invention and that the hooks must be formed upon a lateral extension from said body.

I have shown the bottom of the plate provided with an elongated slot 8, through which the stocking engaging webbing may be passed; but there are very .many ways in which the hook element may be connected with the stocking-engaging members proper, and I therefore do not wish to be limited in this respect. 7

Instead of cutting away the lateral extension, as shown at 5 in Fig. 2, an opening 9 may be out within the extension, which opening corresponds in all respects with the eye 3 of the loop, as shown at Fig. 4, and the edges of the stock of the plate may be bent rearwardly to form hooks 10, which are parallel with the plate, as shown at Fig. 5. This modified form of my improvement is applied to the corset in precisely the same way as the construction shown at Fig. 2, and the opening 9 u will register with the eye 3 when the parts are in proper position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A hose-supporter hook consisting of a flat resilient metal plate which is extended laterally at one edge near the top, said extension provided with hook elements adapted to en- Witnesses:
