PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Hooks or Pins for Securing or Fastening Veils.
I, HANNAH BROUGHTON, of 45 and 46 High Park Street, Nechells, in the
City of Birmingham, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
My invention has reference to pins or hooks to be used for securing or attaching
veils or falls to the hair, hat, or bonnet of the wearer, for the purpose of
preventing the disarrangement of the fall and to make it easy of attachment and
detachment.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my hook or bolder in one
convenient manner from metal, either in the form of a strip or wire having a bar
or T shaped support at one end and projecting or continued from this bar a hook or
bent pin for engaging with the hair or head-dress of the user.
I sometimes make my cross bar out of wire from which the pin itself is formed,
and I may bend the bar back so as to make the double T shaped support.
1 may make the suspender or hook having double claws at the upper end or
I may provide it with claws on both sides, that is, at the top and bottom, and also
at the ends of the cross bar, thus making my hook with four engaging arms or
pieces. I may make the cross bar with its ends to be bent up or curved to any
suitable shape for securing or allowing the material of the fall or veil to be
retained thereon and I may make the cross piece of glass, vulcanite, xylonite, jet,..
or other suitable material when employing a different material from the hook for
this purpose.
I ornament the cross bar when desired and may fashion or shape the bar to suit.
any particular requirement, sometimes placing beads on the bar when it is to match
beads employed on the bonnet, hat, or fall.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any special shape of hook,.
either single or double, and I modify the form of cross bar and the method of.
making up the suspender to suit the type of bar which is to be employed.

I, HANNAH BROUGHTON, of 45 and 46 High Park Street, Nechells, in the
City of Birmingham, 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 has reference to pins or hooks to be used for securing or attaching

page_text: veils or falls to the hair, hat, or bonnet of the wearer, for the purpose of
preventing the disarrangement of the fall and to make it easy of attachment and
detachment.
In the accompanying sheet of explanatory drawings Figures 1 to 8 are illustra-
tions of some of the various forms in which I construct my improved hooks or
fasteners, and Figure 9 is an illustration showing the hook attached to a veil ready
for use.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct my hook or holder in one
convenient manner from metal, either in the form of a strip or wire, having a bar
or shaped support B at one end and projecting or continued from this bar a hook
or bent pin A for engaging with the hair or head dress of the user.
I sometimes make my cross bar out of wire from which the pin itself is formed,
and I may bend the bar back so as to make the double T shaped support as in
Figures 4 and 5.
I make the suspender or hook, as in Figures 7 and 8 having double claws B*
at the upper end or 1 may provide it with claws on both sides, that is, at the top
and bottom, and also at the ends of the cross bar, thus making my hook with four
engaging arms or pieces. I may make the cross bar with its ends b to be bent up
or curved to any suitable shape as in Figures 2, 3 and 4 for securing or allowing
the material of the fall or veil to be retained thereon and I may make the cross
piece of glass, vulcanite, xylonite jet, or other suitable material when employing a
different material from the hook for this purpose.
I ornament the cross bar when desired and may fashion or shape the bar to suit
any particular requirement, sometimes placing beads or ornaments C on the bar
when it is to match beads or other ornaments employed on the bonnet, hat, or fall.
I do not limit the application of my invention to any special shape of hook,
either single or double, A A' and 1 modify the form of cross bars B B1 B2 B3 B,
and the method of making up the suspender, to suit the type of bar which is to be
employed. I sometimes make the ends double as in Figures 4 and 5 and I form a
safety pin hook B³ thereon as in Figure 6 when making larger suspenders.
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 ;-
1. The improvements in pins or hooks for securing veils, substantially as herein-
before described and as illustrated in the drawings.
2. A veil hook or pin having a cross bar upon which the material may rest and
having a hook or pin projecting from the same substantially as and for the purposes
hereinbefore described.
