PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Crochet Needles or Hooks.
I CHARLES RICHMOND GREENHILL of Beoley Road Redditch in the county of
Worcester, assistant in warehouse do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:
I take a flat, oval, cylindrical or other suitably shaped handle of metal, bone, wood,
or other suitable material, and on the surface of such handle I fix with a pivot or
pivots one, two, or more hooks, such hook or hooks being made the reverse way to
that hitherto adopted for hooks or needles of Crochet Hooks revolving on pivots.
Figure 1. A is a flat handle, B B are two hooks revolving on a pivot C, D is a
slide for the protection of the hook not in use. The dotted line E. E describes the
circle in which the needle or hook travels when it is revolving
Figure II. A is a flat handle B, B, B, B, are four hooks revolving on pivots C, C;
D is a sliding cover for the protection of two of the hooks. The dotted lines EEEE
describe the circles in which the needles or hooks travel when undergoing the process
of reversion.
Figure III. The hooks in section B B show the angle at which they are placed
upon the finished article as shown in drawings I and II.
declare that what I claim is
1. The hooks being made the reverse way to that hitherto adopted for hooks of
Crochet Hooks revolving on pivots.
2. The way in which the hook or hooks revolve, being the reverse of that in which
hooks have been made to revolve hitherto.

I CHARLES RICHMOND GREENHILL of 159 Beoley Road Redditch in the county of
Worcester 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 improvements in the manufacture of Crochet Hooks consist in making them
on eyed shafts, with one, two, or more hooks, revolving on a plane, level, oval, or
round surface, grooved or not as may be desirable, and the hooks being made the
reverse way to that hitherto adopted for hooks revolving on pivots and the direction
in which they move being contrary to that before in use for revolving hooks.
Fig. I. A is a flat handle, B B are two hooks revolving on a pivot C, D is a slide
for the protection of the hook not in use. The dotted line E. E describes the circle
in which the hook travels when undergoing the process of reversion. F is a small
circular disc of metal whose object is to strengthen that part of the article at which
it is placed, by bracing the handle and the hook firmly together by the pivot C, and G
is a groove for the hook not in use to lie in.
Fig. II. Is the same as figure I but with the hooks, pivots, and discs duplicated.
Fig. III. Shows the position of the hooks described in figure I when not
revolving.
Fig. IV. The hooks B B show the angle at which they are placed on the finished.
article.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my gaid
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1. The way in which the hooks are made it being the reverse of that hitherto
adopted for hooks working on pivots.
2. The mode in which the hooks revolve, it being the reverse of that in use for
hooks revolving on pivots.
3. The use of the circular disc of metal for bracing the parts.
