Improvements in and relating to Clothes Hooks.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention as
communicated to me by Berthold Illing, of Warmbrunn, Silesia, Prussia,
Germany, Merchant, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to clothes hooks and the method of securing same to
wooden supports whereby they can be securely fixed to and at the same time be
easily removeable from said supports.
Secured to or formed.on the back of the hook is a transverse flat plate having
a vertical aperture therein. The hook is secured to a wooden rail having a
horizontal slot to receive the flat plate aforementioned and a vertical aperture
leading from the top of the rail across the horizontal slot therein. The vertical
aperture in the rail coincides with the aperture in the hook plate when the latter is
in position in the horizontal slot in the wooden rail. The parts are secured
together by a nail pin or peg passed into the vertical aperture in the wooden rail
and through the aperture in the hook plate.
The wooden rail is hung on a wall or other fixed part by means of eyelets which
are furnished with transverse flat plates whereby they are secured to the wooden
rail in the same mauner and by the uail pio or peg which fastens the book.

Improvements in and relating to Olothes Hooks.
I, FREDERICK WILLIAM GOLBY, of 36 Chancery Lane, in the County of
Middlesex, Patent Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me by Berthold
Illing, of Warmbrunn, Silesia, Prussia, Germany, Merchant, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :--
This invention relates to clothes-hooks and the method of securing same to
woolen supports whereby they can be securely fixed to and at the same time be
easily removable from said supports.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a partly sectional side elevation and Fig. 2 a rear elevation of a book
secured to a wooden support.
Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views of the hook and hanging plate respectively.
On the back of the clothes hook A, which corresponds in its curved shape with
the ordinary hooks, is a transverse flat plate a, at its place of fastening, which can
be fastened to the hook in any desirable manner. In the present instance the
гn 37

page_text: plate is provided with a peg a' (Fig. 1), which is rivetted in a correspon ling bule
in the hook A; the plate 6 (Figs. 2 and 3) serves as a further fastening. The
plate a is placed in a slot c made in the wooden rail B to receive it (Fig. 1 and 2).
Perpendicular to this slot c is an aperture d, in which a peg or nail e can. bo passed
in such a manner that it goes through a hole a' in the plate a and holds the latter
immoveably fast to the hook A. The hanging eyelet C of the clothes hook can
also be fastened in the same manner, as shown in Figs. 1 and 4. The oyolet is
furnished with a transverse flat plate having a hole f2 and is placed in a slot g
in the wooden part B perpendicular to the aperture d and held fast to the plate a
by the nail e.
In this manner increased safety is attained, as the holding parts can be made
considerably stronger than hitherto, and work on a considerably larger wood
Burface.
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 1
claim is;-
A clothes hook in which the hook A and the fastening eyelet C bear transverse
plates a and frespectively, which are placed in suitable openings o or g respectively
of the wood part B and held fast by a peg or nail e passed through an aperture d
running perpendicularly to the openings c and g with the object of ensuring a safe
fastening and easy mode of disjoining, anbstantially as describe.l and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
