A New or Improved Curtain Hook.
I, MARGARET HODGSON, of Low Trough Cottage, Copley Lane, Butterknowle,
ounty Durham, Married Lady, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
as follows:-
his invention relates to an improved form of curtain hook, which provides a
s by which the curtain may be held at its upper end in a more secure and
ent manner than is at present the case.
propose to employ a double hook formed from a single length of wire bent
ch end. This wire is bent up at each end to form the hook, the extremities
also preferably slightly bent out.
The wire is doubled at its centre leaving
mall eye at this part in order that it may be secured to the hook fitted to the
urtain ring. The wire is bent out at each side a short distance from the eye,
nd then bent down, so that both hooks formed by its ends are parallel and placed
ertically. Each article thus holds the curtain at two points placed a short dis-
auce from each other, and all that is required to attach the curtain is to push
over the pointed hooks..

I, MARGARET HODGSON, of Low Trough Cottage, Copley Lane, Butterknowle,
County Durham, Married Lady, 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 an improved form of curtain hook, which provides a
means by which the curtain may be held at its upper end in a more, secure and
efficient manner than is at present the case.
I propose to employ a double hook formed from a single length of wire. This
wire is bent up at each end to form the hook, the extremities being also preferably
slightly bent out. The wire is doubled at its centre leaving a small eye at this
part in order that it may be secured to the hook fitted to the curtain ring. The
wire is bent out at each side a short distance from the eye, and then bent down,
so that both hooks formed by its ends are parallel and placed vertically. Each
077

page_text: complete hook thus holds the curtain at two points placed a short distance from
each other, and all that is required to attach the curtain is to push it over the
pointed hooks.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference is had
to the accompanying drawing, which shows my improved curtain hook in per
spective: The length of wire A is doubled at the centre a so as to form a small eye
and the wire is then carried down at each side in the form of a short neck a¹. It
is then bent out to make a shoulder and downwardly for a short distance, the two
sides being then parallel. The extremities are then bent round in the form of
hooks a which extend upwardly and also outwardly so as to project from the
body of the hook at an angle. The points are sharpened allowing them to pass
freely through the curtain. To the eye the attachment B is fitted a which allows
the hook to be connected to the curtain ring.
This form of curtain hook ensures the curtain being held in an even and regular
manner, as it has two points of support for each hook.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
(1) An improved curtain hook formed from a length of wire doubled so as
form an eye and bent at each extremity into hook form, the pointed ends b
parallel and at some distance apart, substantially as described and for the pur
specified.
(2) The improved curtain hook formed from bent wire doubled at the a
to make the eye a, and bent to form the neck a¹ and the double hooke
tremities a substantially as described and shown in the accompanying dra
and for the purposes specified.
