PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Picture Nail and Hook.
I, HENRY MUNSLOW, of Ladywood Road, in the City of Birmingham,
Upholsterer's Nail Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
The object of my invention is to produce a convenient and ornamental article
which serves the double purpose of a picture nail and hook.
In one mode of carrying the invention into effect I arrange an ornamental washer
with or without a porcelain or like centre washer and I pass through the said
washer or washers a nail with a head suitably formed to receive a picture cord;
under the washer I pass a hook having a flat end and a perforation through which
the nail also passes. The hook is arranged to come under the nail when the whole
device is fastened by the said nail to the wall.
I thus provide a combined picture nail and hook, the hook below the nail, and I
am enabled to utilize two points of attachment for the picture cord and so suspend
two or more pictures from the same nail without passing both cords over the one
nail.
My invention may be variously modified but an essential feature consists in the
combination of a nail and hook in one device.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Picture Nail and Hook..
I, HENRY MUNSLOW, of 41 Ellis Street, Holloway Head, in the City of
Birmingham, late of Ladywood Road, in the City of Birmingham, Upholsterer's
Nail 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:-.
The object of my invention is to produce a convenient and ornamental article
which serves the double purpose of a picture nail and hook.
In the accompanying sheet of drawings
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my double nail support, and Figure 2 is a
sectional side elevation of the same.
Figures 3 and 5 are front elevations of simple forms of my combined nail and
hook, and Figures 4 and 6 are side elevations of the same.
Figure 7 is a front elevation of iny double nail and hook support made without a
porcelain centre, and Figure 8 is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 9 is a front elevation of another form of my nail and hook support, and

In one mode of carrying the invention into effect as shown in Figures 1, 2, 7 and 8
I arrange an ornamental washer A with or without a porcelain or like centre

suitably formed to receive a picture cord; under the washer I pass a hook E having
a flat end and a perforation e through which the nail c also passes. The hook E is
arranged to come under the nail c when the whole device is fastened by the said
nail to the wall; I sometimes place a binding plate or washer F behind the nail on
the rose A for more effectually securing the one to the other.

page_text: I thus provide a combined picture nail and hook, the hook below the nail, and I
am enabled to utilize two points of attachment for the picture cord and so suspend
two or more pictures from the same nail without passing both cords over the one
nail.
My invention may be variously modified as shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6 by
placing a porcelain washer B' with a hook D' in front or behind it without the
use of a large rose or washer; also by making the double support E' as shown in
Figures 9 and 10 to stand out from the rose A', the nail c passing through the rose
above it.
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 construction of a double suspender for picture cord in which a nail and
independent hook or supplementary suspender is employed, substantially as herein-
before described and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination of a rose plate or washer such as A, an independent nail such
as c and an independent or supplementary suspending hook such as E, substantially
as and for the purposes hereinbefore described and as illustrated in the accompanying
drawings.
Dated this 11th day of August 1893.
