A New
or Improved Safety Pin Hook and Eye Fastening for
Dresses, Ladies' Sanitary Towelettes, Binders, and the like.
THOMAS LAMBE 21 Millicent Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham Surgeon
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 fastening is made in two parts, of steel wire. One part the safety pin hook,
is made of steel wire bent in such a fashion that it forms an upper and a lower
portion. The lower portion is sharpened at one end so as to form the pin point
and at the other is continued into the upper portion. The upper portion is bent
into a series of one two or more hooks and finally continued on to form the clip for
the pin as in an ordinary safety pin. The other part, the safety pin eye is in like
manner made of steel wire bent into an upper and a lower portion. The lower
portion is sharpened to form the pin point and continued at the other end is bent
into a series of one two or more eyes and finally continued into a clip for the pin as
in an ordinary safety pin.
In order that my invention may be fully understood I will now refer to the
annexed drawings in which :-
Fig. 1. is a view shewing my improved form of hook.
Fig. 2. is a view shewing my improved form of eye.

page_text: Fig. 3. view of same shewing the hook and eye in position.
Fig. 4. view of a modified form of my hook and eye.
The hook a and the eye b are formed integral with or attached to the part which
secures the whole to the garment or the like, being so bent as to form the pin c
which after passing through the garment or the like is secured in the hook or
bend d, the two garments or the like to be connected together are represented in
Fig. 3 by the letters e and f the eye or loop 6 being hooked upon the hook a.
Fig. 4 two hooks are shewn upon one part and two eyes or loops on the other part.
It will be seen that two garments or the like or parts thereof may be readily
connected together by attaching the hook part to one garment and the eye or
loop part to the other garment and then causing the eye or loop- to engage in the
hook.
Having
I 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 :-
1. A new or improved safety pin substantially as described and shewn.
2. In.safety pins of the class herein described; a safety pin or fastening having a
hook or hooks formed integrally with or attached to same which engages in an
eye or eyes or loop or loops formed upon the safety pin, for the purpose of enabling
garments or parts of garments to which the safety pins are attached to be readily
connected together or disconnected from one another substantially as described.
