Improvements in and connected with Hooks.
STEPHEN PALMER, of 33, Dynevor Road, Stoke Newington, in the County of
Middlesex, Locksmith, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
The invention consists of a hook which is intended to take the place of the
spring hook such as now used in harness, on reins, leaders and the like. It
consists of a hook as shewn in the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 in its closed
position, and Fig. 2 in its open position. A lever (a) is pivotted to the hook as
shown at (b) broken sections Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The upper end of the lever
is provided with a projection as shewn at (r) Fig. 2, which projection will grip
into the hole () provided or the same at the nose end of the hook. The pivotted
portion of the lever is provided with a projection (e). A portion of the shank
of the hook is screwed, on to which a nut or socket (f) is fitted. The inner part
of this nut or socket is in its front portion, shaped so as to grip over the projection (e)
on the lever when it is closed, as shewn in broken section Fig. 1 and so holding
the same in position. A swivel (g) is attached to the plain portion of the shank
of the hook, of which the round portion is provided with projections which fit
into the cuts provided at the back of the nut or socket, by which means the nut
or socket may be withdrawn for the purpose of unlocking the lever, or screwed
forward over the projection (e) on the lever, for the purpose of locking same.
When using the hook the nose end of the same is passed through the ring, or the
like, to which it is to be attached, in the usual manner. The lever is now
raised by pressing on the part (h). The nut of socket is then screwed forward by
means of the swivel acting as a key, thus holding the lever in its position. For
unlocking the nut or socket is withdrawn in a similar manner, and the lever
pressed back. The swivel is provided with an eye, or the like, at its back, to
which reins, leaders, or such like may be attached.
Fig. 1 is the hook in its closed position.
Fig. 1 is a broken section thereof shewing the part where the lever is attached.
Fig. 2 is the hook in its open position.
Fig. 2 is a broken section of the same shewing pivotted part.

in and by the following statement :-
-:
The invention consists of a hook which is intended to take the place of the
spring hook such as now used in harness, on reins, leaders, and the like.
It consists of a hook as shewn in the drawings accompanying the Provisional
Specification No. 14019 of 24th June 1898, Fig. 1 in its closed position, and Fig. 2
in its open position. A lever (a) is pivotted to the hook as shewn at (b) broken
sections Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The upper end of the lever is provided with a
projection as shewn at (c) Fig. 2, which projection will grip into the hole (d)
provided for the same at the nose end of the hook. The pivotted portion of the lever
is provided with a projection (e). A portion of the shank of the hook is screwed,
on to which a nut or socket (f) is fitted. The inner part of this nut or socket is
in its front portion shaped so as to grip over the projection (e) on the lever when
it is closed, as shewn in broken section Fig. 1^ and so holding the same in position.
A swivel (9) is attached to the plain portion of the shank of the hook, of which
the round portion is provided with projections which fit into the cuts provided at
the back of the nut or socket, by which means the nut or socket may be withdrawn
for the purpose of unlocking the lever, or screwed forward over the projection (e)
on the lever, for the purpose of locking same. When using the hook the nose
end of the same is passed through the ring, or the like, to which it is to be
attached, in the usual manner. The lever is now raised by pressing on the part (h).
The nut or socket is then screwed forward by means of the swivel acting as a key
thus holding the lever in its position.
For unlocking, the nut or socket is withdrawn in a similar manner, and the
lever pressed back. The swivel is provided with an eye, or the like, at its
back, to which reins, leaders, or such like may be attached.
Fig. 1 is the hook in its closed position.
Fig. 1 is a broken section thereof shewing the part where the lever is attached.
Fig. 2 is the hook in its open position.
Fig. 2 is a broken section of the same shewing pivotted part.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
(1) The locking arrangement as herein described and referred to, projection (e)
on the lever, the screwed portion of the shank with the nut or socket (f) fitted
thereon for the purpose as described.
(2) The swivel attached to the hook and so shaped as to serve as key for the
purpose as herein described.
