PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hooks and Pegs for Wardrobes, Hats, Coats,
and the like, applicable also as Shop Fittings, and for other
purposes.
I, CHARLES WILSON, of 8 Saint Nicholas Street, Scarborough, in the County
of York, Warehouseman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be
as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide improved hooks or pegs for hanging up
articles in wardrobes, also hats, coats, and the like; my said improvements are also
applicable as shop fittings, and for other purposes.
According to my improvements the hooks are made from one piece of metal bent
back or doubled together and stamped or pressed, or rivetted together and then cut
the shape required to form recesses for rods and the projections between the recesses
are bent over at the sides at a proper angle to form hooks to hang garments on by
tapes, and when intended for hanging up hats and coats and the like articles they
are provided with a suitable head or headed pin to form a peg, this being carried
at the end where bent over.
The hooks are made with turned back parts to form surface plates for receiving
screws for fixing purposes. Or in the case of shop fittings are turned round and formed
into a socket to fit or slide on a rod, or provided with a pin to fit into a socket.
The hooks can be made to hold any number of garments and any garment can
be removed or put back without disturbing the remainder.
Or the hooks may be made from one strip or thickness of metal and bending the
hook alternate ways.

Improvements in Hooks and Pegs for Wardrobes, Hats, Coats,

:
I, CHARLES WILSON, of 8 Saint Nicholas Street, Scarborough, in the County
of York, Warehouseman, 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:-
The object of my invention is to provide improved hooks or pegs for hanging up
articles in wardrobes, also hats, coats, and the like; my said improvements are also
applicable as shop fittings, and for other purposes.
According to my improvements the hooks are made from one piece of metal bent
back, or doubled together, and stamped, pressed, or rivetted together, and then cut
(either before or afterwards) the shape required to form recesses with projections

hooks to hang garments on by tapes, and when intended for hanging up hats and
coats and the like articles they are provided with a suitable head or headed pin to
form a peg, this being carried at the end where bent back. The hooks are made
with turned back parts to form surface plates for receiving screws for fixing
purposes.
The hooks can be made to hold any number of garments, and any garment can
be removed or put back without disturbing the remainder. Or the hooks may be
made from one strip or thickness of metal, and bending the hook alternate ways,
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1. represents a blank metal plate cut to form a number of tongue shaped
projections, and with the ends of the plate prolonged to form back plates for fixing.
Fig. 2. represents the blank plate cut and shaped, with tongues rounded over or
turned down at the edges, and with holes for screws punched in-the ends of the
plate, for fixing purposes.
Fig. 3. shows the metal plate with the tongues turned outwards and with an
upward curve to form hooks.
Fig. 4. shows the said metal doubled back from the centre, with the ends turned
back at right angles to form back plates for fixing, and provided with a pin or rod.
Fig. 5. shows an alternative method of forming the hooks, by turning the metal
plate with the tongues upwards and bending the same downwards and outwards and
with a suitable curve upwards to form hooks..
Figs. 6, 7, and 8 show a further modification of my invention.
In carrying out my invention I cut from sheet metal a blank B, oblong in form,
see Fig. 1, which is deeply gapped or recessed on the lower edge at regular intervals,
and in such a manner that the parts between the gaps form a number of tongue
shaped projections A, from which the hooks are to be formed; the other or upper
part of the plate being left plain or straight to form a bearer or trunk part to
carry the said hooks, and both ends of the upper part of the plate are prolonged
lengthwise to form surface plates to receive screws for fixing purposes.
The tongue shaped projections are rounded over or turned down at the edges of
the same, in order that when formed into hooks they may present a smooth surface,
and not cut the tapes of the garments, see A' Fig. 2. Holes C are drilled or
punched in each end of the plate B to receive screws for fixing purposes. The
tongue shaped projections A' are turned up with an outward curve, and at a sufficient
angle, to form the hooks required, each tongue shaped projection forming a separate
hook, see A, Fig. 3.
The plate B is then doubled back from the centre D in two equal parts which
are pressed together, the ends B¹ of the plate are turned back at right angles, to
form back plates for fixing purposes, see Fig. 4. By this means the whole of the
parts are integral and made from a single sheet of blank metal.
In order to provide a further improvement and addition to such hooks, I insert
at the point D where the plate is doubled back, a pin or rod of suitable size, which
may be either solid or tubular, and carry the same downwards with a semi-circular
curve outwards and upwards in such a manner as to form a hook E lengthwise of
and in a line with the plate as and when doubled together; or the rod may be
carried upwards and provided with a knob to form a peg F. An alternative
method, see Fig. 5, of forming the hooks according to my invention is to turn the
metal plate with the tongue shaped projections upwards, and bending the same
downwards and outwards and with a suitable curve upwards to form hooks A³.
Figs. 6, 7, and 8. B is a metal blank cut or stamped out with tongues A, which
are afterwards bent over as shown in Fig. 7 so as to form hooks A', the metal blank
is then doubled together, as shown in Fig. 8, and shaped so as to leave an opening G
into which a hook E can be inserted, and the back plates B' turned outwards at
right angles to form plates for fixing purposes.

page_text: The hooks, or combination of hooks, or combination of hooks and pegs, may be
made to hold any number of garments according to the number of tongues
provided.
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. In wardrobe or the like hooks, or combination of hooks, making the same (or
the whole of the parts thereof, such as the trunk part and the tongues for forming.
the hooks on which the garments are to be suspended, and the back plates for
fixing) of a single blank of sheet metal, cut, shaped, and doubled together, with the
Longues curved outwards, and with the ends of the plate turned outwards to form
back plates, substantially as shown and described.
2. In hat, coat, and the like hooks, or combination of hooks and pegs, making
the same from a single blank of sheet metal, and so that a pin or rod can be
inserted, bent, and shaped to form a hook, or carried upwards and provided with a
knob to form a peg, substantially as shown and described.
