Improvements in the Manufacture of Screw-hooks, Cup-hooks,
and the like.
We, WILLIAM EDWARD COOKE, of Constitution Hill, Birmingham, in the county
of Warwick, Manufacturer, and FREDERICK CARTER, of Icknield Street, Birmingham,
aforesaid, Tool 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 :-
This invention relates to improvements in the manufacture of combined brass and
iron screw-hooks, cup-hooks, and the like, the object of the improvements being to
simplify and cheapen the cost of production.
In order to enable our invention to be fully understood we have annexed a sheet of
drawings, by the aid of which we will proceed to describe the mode of carrying the
invention into effect.
In carrying out our invention we take a piece of brass wire, such as is shown in
figure 1, of the required length to form the hook; we also take an iron screw without
a head such as is shewn in figure 2 and we cut away a portion of both the wire and
the screw at one end as shewn at a, and b, respectively in figures 3 and 4; the two
parts thus cut away are then lapped as shewn in figure 5. Over the lapped parts we
then pass a collar c, so as to firmly secure the two parts together as shewn in figure 6 ;
the collar c, figure 6 is a solid collar and is shewn in detached section and elevation at
figures 7 and 8, but it will be obvious that we may employ a collar of suitable material
covered with brass such as is shewn in figure 9: the hook is then finished in the
usual manner.
In the drawing we have shewn for the purpose of illustration a plain hook made
according to our invention but it will be understood that our mode of manufacture is
applicable to combined brass and iron screw-hooks of all kinds whether plain or
ornamental.
It will be obvious that, when the hook is to be drawn instead of screwed into its
place, we employ a nail without a head instead of a screw.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention
and in what manner the sanie is to be performed we declare that what we claim is
The method herein described of manufacturing combined brass and iron screw-hooks
cup hooks and the like, that is to say, cutting away a portion of one end of both the
brass wire and the screw (or nail) and connecting the two parts together by a suitable
collar substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying
drawing.
