page_text: I, CHARLES HANWORTH of Talbot Street, Whitechurch, Salop, Upholsterers
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in connection with curtain hooks, and
and has for its object to provide a simple means by which the top of the curtain
may be held in a neater manner than is at present the case.
Instead of the plain hook commonly employed formed from a strip of bent
metal or a bent wire, I propose to make the hook with an extension or pin at the end
connected to the curtain or to the safety pin by which it is attached.
This pin extends upwardly and is inserted in the heading of the curtain holding
it in proper position and preventing it dropping thus making the curtain much
neater than in the ordinary arrangement.
Dated this 7th day of December 1896.

I, CHARLES HANWORTH of Talbot Street, Whitechurch, Salop, Upholsterers
Manager, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to improvements in connection with curtain hooks, and
has for its object to provide a simple means by which the top of the curtain
may be held in a neater manner than is at present the case.
Instead of the plain hook commonly employed formed from a strip of bent
metal or a bent wire, I propose to make a hook with an extension or pin at the end
and.connected to the curtain or to the safety pin by which it is attached.
This pin extends outwardly and is inserted in the heading of the curtain hold-
ing it in proper position and preventing it dropping thus making the curtain
much neater than in the ordinary arrangement.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had
to the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a hook constructed
according to my invention, Fig. 2 shows the same applied to the curtain, and
Fig. 3 is a slightly modified form.

page_text: In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the hook A is connected to the
safety pin B, the latter being fitted to the curtain in the usual manner. The
hook is furnished with the extension or pin a which projects up and is inserted in
the top of the curtain as shown in Fig. 2. The head of the curtain is thus held
up instead of dropping as with the ordinary arrangement giving a much neater
appearance.
Instead of forming the pin or extension plain it, may be waved or curved as
at a in Fig. 3 the arrangement being otherwise the same.
The extension or pin can of course be fitted to any other part of the hook or
safety pin so long as it is kept in a position to hold the heading of the curtain up.
The pin may be made of any desired length according to the depth of the head-
ing to be retained and may be formed from brass or any other suitable material.
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). Improvements in curtain hooks, consisting in a pin connected to the hook
and extending vertically secured in the upper part of the curtain, substantially
as and for the purposes specified.
(2). An improved curtain hook provided with a vertical extension or pon adapted
to be engaged in the top of the curtain, substantially as described and for the
purposes specified.
