An Improved Method of Securing Hooks to Frames for Packing
Seal-skin or other Woven Pile Fabrics.
I, BENJAMIN SHAW, of Folly Hall, Huddersfield, Yorkshiro, Packing Frame Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN IMPROVED METHOD OF SECURING
HOOKS TO FRAMES FOR PACKING SEAL-SKIN OR OTHER WOVEN PILE FABRICS
follows:-
" to be as
My invention has reference to frames for packing seal skin or other woven pile
fabrics, and consists in an improved method of securing the metal hooks thereto,
whereby the cost of manufacturing such frames is lessened.
In order to carry ont my invention, I place the number of hooks required for one
side of the frame into a mould, and then run into such mould a quantity of melted
solder or other suitable material which on cooling and hardening firmly adheres to
the hooks. When the solder has set, it is taken out of the mould and rivetted to
the packing frame in two or three places, whereby the hooks are secured to such
frame.
Other strips with hooks therein, are moulded in the same way, for the other sides of
the frame.
To prevent the hooks working loose and becoming detached from the solder, I make
or form one or more notches in, or heads on the hooks, so that the solder when in a
melted state would mould itself into the notches or around the head and thus prevent
any possibility of the hooks afterwards working loose or becoming detached.
By securing hooks to packing frames employed for packing seal skin or other
woven pile fabrics, in the manner described herein, the cost of punching holes in the
frames for each separate hook and rivetting the same thereto, as was previously the
case, is dispensed with, thus considerably reducing the cost of manufacturing such
frames.

I BENJAMIN SHAW, of Folly Hall, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Packing Frame
Maker, 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 frames for packing seal skin or other woven pile
fabrics, and consists in an improved method of securing the metal hooks thereto,
whereby the cost of manufacturing such frames is lessened.
In order to carry out my invention, I place the number of hooks required for one
side of the frame into a mould, and then run into such mould a quantity of molten
solder, metal, or other suitable material, which on cooling and hardening firmly adheres
to the hooks. When the solder has set, it is taken out of the mould in the form of a
narrow strip with the hooks attached thereto, such strip being rivetted to the packing
frame in two or three places, whereby the hooks are secured to such frame.
Other strips with hooks therein, are moulded in the same way or the hooks may be
soldered to a wrought iron strip for the other sides of the frame.
To prevent the hooks working loose and becoming detached from the solder on the
strip, I make or form one or more notches in or heads on the hooks, so that the solder
or metal when in a molten state would mould itself into the notches or around the
head and thus prevent any possibility of the hooks afterwards working loose or
becoming detached from the strip.
b
Such being the nature and object of my invention I will now proceed to describe
the same more fully and for that purpose make reference to the accompanying sheet
of. drawings illustrative thereof. In Fig. 1. the hooks are shewn at a and are
represented as being fastened to strip b, which strip is either cast-lead or metal. The
manner of securing the detached hooks a to metal strip & may be various, for instance
the hooks may be placed into a mould and molten lead or metal run around the said
hooks, so that when the metal has cooled and set, the hooks are firmly held in position ;
whilst another method of arranging the hooks side by side and fastening them in
position, may be done by soldering each separate hook to or upon a strip as shewn in
Fig. 2. where the hooks a are fastened by solder c to the strip b. In order that the
hooks may be more effectually fastened to the strip by the solder or metal, I make
the said hooks as shewn in Fig. 3. so that the molten fluid can get a better hold of the
hooks.
After the hooks are attached to the strip, it is fastened by rivets, screws, or other
ineans to the packing seal skin frame as shewn in Fig. 4. which is elevation showing
how the strip a is fastened by small nuts d to the frame e.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-

claim is :-
The method substantially as herein shewn and described for securing detached
hooks to a strip of metal, when used in connection with frames for packing pile
fabrics.
