HOOK AND EYE.

I SY'EGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,971, dated August 20, 15895.

Application filed November 13, 1894. Serial No.

To ttZl whom it may concern.- Be it known that I, ELLEN DONNELLY, of l-Ienipsteed, in the county of Queens and State of. New York, have inventeda new and useful Improvement in Hooks and Eyes, of which the following is ai'ull, clear, and exact description. It

My invention relates to an improvement in hooks and. eyes, and it has for its object to provide such devices with shanks, whereby thcyrnay be attached to an article of dress or other article without the use of thread or equivalent fastening devicea'andanotherobject of the invention is to so construct a hook and eye that when attached toagiven article the more tension that may be exerted upon said hooks and eyes when they are connected the more firmly will they be held in place, and whereby, further, the attachingmedium of thehook and eye may be conveniently covered. up by facing, and the hook or eye may be employed to connect thefacing with thc goods to which the facing is to be applied.

The invention consists in the novel eoustruction and combination of the several parts,

as will vbehereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying this specification, in which similar figures and letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a perspective view'of the improved hook. Fig 2 is proved eye. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the improved hook. Fig. 4 is a section through the hook and, eye connected and the goods to which they are to he applied and likewise a section through the material to Which.- the hook and eye are attached, and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of and the material to which they are applied.

In carrying outithe invention both the hook A and the eye 3? are provided with a twin shank, as is customary, but the members 10 of the shank of the'hook are bent outwardly upon themselves and carried indirection of the hook proper, one at each sideof the shank,

and the extremities of the members so bent are sharpened,

forming virtually a pin at each side of the shank of the hook extending a plan view'of the im-v 528,608. (No model.)

to or beyond the outer extremity of posite directions the said tension. will but serve to hold the said hook or eye the more firmly in place, since the tension will be applied in the direction in which the attachment is made. Furthermore, either the hook or the eye may be employed'through the medium of the pin attach 22. facing C to the goods; as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 also, the pins being carried into the facing as well as into the material proper. The facing is then "carried, for example, over the shank of the hook and under the head member of thehook, whereupon the facingi's expeditiously the hook and eye connected- The combination of a garment, a facing strip, a hook or eye having pin extensions passed through one edge of the facing strip and the said garment, whereby the two are connected together, the said facing strip heing carried over theshanlr of the hook or eye and having its free edge stitched down to the garment over the same,
