PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Device applicable for Suspending Umbrellas and
other articles.
I, FREDERICK TEW, of 7* Edmund Place, Aldersgate Street, in the City of
London, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The improved clip hook is intended for suspending umbrellas and other articles
in shop windows and for other such like purposes.
This clip hook is made partly of metal and partly of vulcanised india rubber;
the metal in the shape of a half round wire and the india rubber as two rings of
such a size that the ferrule end of an umbrella inserted through them is held
sufficiently firmly for its weight to be supported and to allow it to hang securely.
The half round wire should be about four inches in length more or less. At one
end it is bent into a hook suitable to catch upon a horizontal rod or like support.
Below the hook, a loop is made in the wire around one of the india rubber rings
which it holds but without compressing the ring. Finally at the other end of the
wire another similar loop is made about one inch from the first; in this the second
india rubber ring is held.
At each of the bends the flat side of the wire is on the exterior of the bend and it
is this side which comes into contact with the article held by the rings.

Figure 4 shows a modification two holders being attached to one hook. In this
case the wire is preferably round so as to be more easily bent to form.
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 device consisting of a wire with one end formed into a hook and bent
round to encircle two elastic rings substantially as described.
2. The device substantially as described and shown in the drawings.
