forated block, or a flat perforated disc is inserted centrally on the pin and bears
against the outside material of the coat to give support to the pin and to the
garment when it is suspended by the loop.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A New or Improved Device for Suspending Coats and other
Garments.
I ALFRED WOOD, of Fairlight House, Bouverie Road, Folkestone, Carriage
Builder, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
My invention relates to a new or improved device for suspending coats and other
garments and has for its object to provide a strong and neatly attachable and
detachable fastening of easy adjustment.
This device consists of a strong pin having a head on one end and a screw-
thread at the other to receive a nut preferably resembling the head aforesaid, the
pin is intended for insertion in the centre and near the bottom of a coat collar, for
instance.
A rigid loop of metal, or a flexible loop of chain or other material with perfora-
tions at each end is secured to the pin before and after its insertion in the coat, the
last end of the loop being secured by the nut aforesaid. A loose oblong perforated
block or a flat perforated disc is inserted centrally on the pin and bears against the
outside material of the coat to give support to the pin and the garment when it is
suspended by the loop.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a back view and Fig. 2 a front view of a lady's mantle provided with
my improved suspending attachments.
Fig. 3 is a separate view of the device and
Figs. 4 and 5 are views of a modification of my invention Fig. 4 being a plan of
Fig 5

page_text: My improved device consists of a pin p furnished with a head k at one end and a
screw-thread at its other and sharp extremity or point. A chain e which may be
of ordinary construction or a curved wire is furnished at each end with a ring one
of which is inserted over the pin and pushed as far as the head while the other
likewise inserted over the pin, remains near the screw-threaded end of the pin, a
tapped knob or nut being screwed on such end to secure the last mentioned ring of
the chain, which forms a loop as shown whereby it can be suspended to a hook.
Between the two chain rings is inserted on the pin, a tubular piece of conoidal
shape (Fig. 3) or having the form of a disc d convex on both sides as shown in
Fig. 5, the pin p in the last case passing through the thickness and width of the
disc d (Fig. 4).
To fasten the device to a coat or other garment such as the mantle represented
by way of example in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings, the ring r of one end of the
chain c is passed on the pin p, the point of the pin p is then passed from the front
of the garment through the collar seam and followed by the insertion of the conoidal
tubular piece o or the convex disc d which bears against the seam of the material
and affords a proper support for the device. The point of the pin is subsequently
passed from the back to the front of the material where it receives the second chain
ring and the knob which is now screwed thereon. The chain is then held by
the hand in position shown in Fig. 2 and placed over any suitable hook, nail &c.
This device will be found particularly advantageous for the purpose of exhibit-
ing garments in shop windows or of storing ready-made garments in wardrobes,
cupboards, and the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The improved device or attachment for suspending coats and other garments
constructed and arranged substantially as hereiù described and shown and for the
purpose set forth.
