Hook AND EYE.

" Application filed remain, 1906. Serial No. 303,175.

To all whom it may 6 in the city and county of'Phil'adelphia, State of .Pennsylv'ania, have invented a new and useful Hook and Eye',flof which the follow ing is a specification.

Myinventionrelates rtO new and useful. hooks and eyes and cons sts in provid ng means for attaching the hook and eye to a garment or desired materials V It further consists in providing a locking point where the hook or eye engage with the garment or material whereby'the'sanie will be held in position. 1 I

It further consists in providing means for engagement with the garment or material on each side ofthe locking point.

It further consists of other novel details of be hereafter fully set construction all as will forth. 1 l r v Figures 1,2, 3 andv 4c'represent different forms of eyes showing thesamemeans for fastening the sameto the garment. ".Fig. 5: represents a hook which may beemployed in. conjunction with the eyes. Fig; Grepresents in elevation, a piece of material .with 'the hooks and eyes in position from ,thefront'. Fig. 7 represents a perspectiveview showing the inner portion of the hook in position on the garment. Fig. 8 represents an enlarged view showing a hook and ieye inposition with the material partly broken away. w y

7 Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings 1- -designates :an eye embodying 'my invention preferably;

formed of wire, the sameconsisting'of the loop or eye proper 2, the :sides of which are drawn towards'each other and substantially abut as at 3,. froinlwhich point thelocking eyes or looking points land 5 are formedlby curving the wirearound outwardly and forwardly towards the sides of the loop 2 form ing the passageways 7f .therebetween' and: then bending the same-rearwardly asati'7.

formingthe arms 6,the said portions 7, of

which,form abutting edges,as wiI-Ibe here inafter described. Each of -the arms Gearwhich are substantially straight, one of said pins 8 being shorter than the'other.

The constructions abo'vedescribed is clearly shown in Fig. l and in Fig. the same coni I i struction is followed as far as locking points Be it known that I, Josnrrr P. BAUMeAnn NEH, a citizen of the United. States, residing or eyes 4% and 5 are concerned and also the abutting edges 7 and pins 8 and 9, the

difference being, that in Fig. 2, the loop proper ldis of triangular shape but forms the passageways 7 as before.

In F 3 the construction differs in that theloopproper 11 is triangular and has the which are substantiallyparallel and which are curved outwardly and then forwardly In the construction shown in Fig. 4; I have made a different for inof loop proper lt. but with the other features the same as heretofore described.

"In Fig. 51 show the same features employed in connection with the hook. 'In this construction it will be seen that the same pins 8 and 9 are used for the initial piercing of the material, theside members 6 being a trifle larger than heretofore shown but the locking points or. eyes 4 and 5 being formed as already described. t

The method of fasteningthe eye or the hook to the material at the place at which it .is desired is as follows, the material is first material or until thedistance between the end of pin 8 and the opening in the ma- I terial caused by the insertion of arm 9, substantially corresponds with the space between the two locking points 4 and 5, where the material is' ultimately to lie. The

shorterofthe two arms 8 is forced into the 'material'and the material is then drawn foraward over the arms or members 6 and over until it is situated in the locking eye or point 4, that is ontheside which has the shortest point'8. The material is then relaxed from strainand the, pin 8, the arm 6 and the portion 7 is on the opposite side of the material from the eye 2. e The material is then forced over, the other arm 6 and other rounded or abutting point 7. into the locking eye or point .5 so that the loop 2 will, from the front, be in-the position as seen in Fig. 6, while the ,other portion'of the eye will be upon the oprearwardly. extending members 12 and 13 posite side of the material, as seen in Fig. 7, the whole being firmly held in position. The eyes or locking points engage the material and the material will be grasped between the inner edges or sides of each rounded portion 7 and the contiguous portion of the loop 2 where the inner curve-of part 7 and the sides of the loop come almost in contact.

The above description will also apply to the means or manner of inserting the hook in the material which will likewise also be held firmly in position. As seen in Fig. (3 the eye is attached to the material close to the edge thereof in order that the loop proper 2 projects sufficiently beyond the material for ease of engagement with the hook and when the parts are in position the rounded portions or abutting edges '7 will be situated adjacent to and abutting against the hem or turned up edge of the material and assist in taking some of the strain from the locking eye or points 4t and 5. In addition by stitching along the material adjacent the pins 8 and 9, as at 17, the parts will be still more firmly held in position.

In Figs. 6 and 8 I have shown clearly the stitching 17 in the material adjacent the pins 8 and 9, it being seen with respect to the eye I that as before stated, the abutting points 7 are so situated as to contact with the bend in the material made to form the hem and when the stitching 17 is made the eye is substantially in a pocket as will be seen.

With respect to the hook it will be noted that the same is situated a sullicient distance from the edge of the material to form a lap when the two sides of the material. are brought together and the hook and eye are joined. In this instance I stitch the material as at 18 adjacent the abutting points 7, the effect of which being that the hook is substantially in a pocket formed by the stitching 17 and 18, the etleet of which is evident.

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

1. In a device of the character described, a

member of a hook and eye fastener having r locking eyes and passage ways to the locking eyes in which the material is adapted to be grasped, and overlapping attaching pins.

2. In a device of the character described, a member of a hook and eye fastener, locking eyes therefor, and pins extending in opposite directions and overlapping for piercing the material.
