l UNITED STATES PATENTy OFFICE.
GEORGE M. R. TVOSE, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
HAT-HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters' Patent No. 501,972, dated July 25, 1893.
Y Application filed June 28. 1892. Serial No. 433.317. (No model.) i
To @ZZ whom it may concern: Be it known that I, GEORGE M. R. TWOSE, of Chicago, Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Hat and Coat looks, of which the following is a specificalon.
As is well known, with the ordinary hooks in use for holding hats and coats, in hotels, restaurants, private residences, and other places, there is frequently nothing to prevent one so disposed from carrying the hat and coat away accidentally or intentionally. in the owners absence. Some means is therefore desired for preventing such errors or thefts, which means should be simple, inexpensive and easily operated, and to that end I have devised my improvement., which, speaking generally, consists of the application to the hook of a locking device, hereinafter more particularly described; and my invention more especially consists in the features, dctails of construction and combinations hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of one formof myimprovement; and Fig. 2 is a detail of a part thereof.
The hook A may be made in any desired style, either in the ordinary form, as shown in the drawings, or in any special form desired, and is secured to the wall or other support A by screws or other suitable means. At a point adjacent to and preferably above this hook, I secure an arm B, of any suitable dimensions, which carries a case B', through which passes a slot b, as shown more particularly in Fig. 2.
In the drawings,I have shown a block C as interposed between the arm and the wall or support A', intended to bring the operative parts of the mechanism into proper position relative to the hook A. The device will be preferably used in Vthis form when applied to hooks already in use, the block affording a ready and efficient means for .bringing the parts into the proper relative position, without incurring any expense incident to making the arms B of different lengths, and enabling the locking mechanism to be applied to hooks of any sort. If desired, however, special hooks may be made of the proper length to act with the arms B, without the use of spacing blocks, the arm in between being attached directly to the wall, the only difference from such construction and that shown in Fig. l being that the hook A would be shorter, or the arm B lower, the construction and operation of the parts being in either case the same. i
Through the sloth passes a rod or bar D, of any desired dimensions, and preferably, though not necessarily, provided with corrugations or notchesd on one side. This bar is capable of being slid up and down in the slot, the notches engaging with a spring catch E, shown in Fig. 2, whereby the bar is held at any desired height. The catch E is normally forced out by means of any suitable spring, (not shown) and unless locked, the bar can be slid up and down past the catch withease. To secure this catch a suitable lock is provided of any desired form capable of being operated by means of a key F. The construction of the lock being such that when the key is inserted, the catch E Will be unlocked, being only operated by its spring, but when the key is withdrawn, a bolt will-engage with the catch and prevent it from` moving.
The device having been constructed and put together as described, operates in the following mann erz-The key being inserted, the bar I) is first moved upward to allow the hat and coat to be hung upon the hook, being held by the catch 5 after this the rod is slid down until it approaches so closely to the hook A as to prevent the withdrawal of either the hat or coat, after which the key is withdrawn, locking thek bar. It will then be impossible to remove either the hat or coat, without raising the bar, and as this is locked, it is impossible to raise it, without breaking some part of the device. When it is desired to remove the hat and coat, the key is inserted, releasing the bar, which is then raised, allowing the coat to be removed. By this means I provide a simple and Vefficient device for preventing stealing or accidental carrying away of hats or coats, and the key being numbered may serve as a check, and while I have described more or less precise forms, I contemplate all proper changes in form, proportions and the substihook to secure and release the garment, and a tution of equivalent members. means for engaging with the notches in the 1o I claimbar for fastening the same in any desired po- A device of the class described, comprises sition, substantially as described. 5 a horizontal slotted arm attached to a support v GEORGE M. R. TVOSE.
