COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hooks for Curtain Headings and such like
purposes.
I, CHARLES FREDERICK CHINNERY, of 96 Kensington Road, Southport, in the
County of Lancaster Furnishing Salesman 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 certain improvements in hooks for curtain headings, and
similar purposes, and has for its object the arrangement of the curtain heading or
the like in such a manner as to hide or conceal the cornice pole, rod, or architrave
when suspended from the rings or the like by the improved hooks as aforesaid.
In carrying my invention into effect, I construct a hook as shewn by the
appended sheet of drawings, which represents the same in perspective, and drawn
to an enlarged scale for sake of greater clearness in referring to the various parts
in the following description.
An ordinary hook B with a safety pin C is attached by means of a permanent
clip D to two arms extending vertically upwards, A, A', pointed at the extremities
as shewn. In such hooks as ordinarily made and used, the edge of the curtain or
the like hangs below the safety pin C, thus exposing the pole and whatever else is
substituted for, or is contiguous to it. In the hook according to my invention,
however, the upper edge, or head of the curtain is supported by the pointed
arms A A' so as to hide the pole or the like.
I may use one, or any number of said arms A A', and may shape them
according to any particular requirements, and I may use one or more hooks B, or
substitute rings or eyes for these without departing from the essential features of
my said invention.
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
First. The combination with a hook and safety pin, of vertical pointed arms,
substantially as herein described with reference to the appended drawings.
Second. The combination with a hook and safety pin of one or more pointed
arms, shaped to suit any shape of curtain or the like, substantially as herein
described.

page_text: Third. The combination with a eye or ring and safety pin, of one or more
pointed arms A A', substantially as and for the purposes herein described with
reference to the drawings.
Dated this 7th day of October 1893.
