Improvements in Suspended Swivel Dress Hooks.
1, GEORGE MOORE, Junior, of Priory Works, Priory Road, Aston, near the
City of Birmingham, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in swivel hooks generally used for
dress suspending and the like purposes, and consists as follows:-I cast a group
of hooks which converge to a common centre in which is made a vertical hole.
I now cast a base plate having screw holes or the like by which it may upwardly
be secured to a ceiling or the underside of a shelf or similar position. The
central part of such is brought downwards in a tubular form having a contracted
hole at the bottom, agreeing with the hole in the before named centre of the
hooks. A central pin having a head at one end is now passed through the hole
in the hooks and rivetted upon the interior of the base plate leaving sufficient
freedom in the hooks for rotation. The base and the hooks are preferably of
cast iron and bronzed, brassed or otherwise coated. By thus attaching the two
together by means of a separate pin, I am enabled to use common cast iron
which when coated appears like and for practical purposes is equal to superior
metal.

freedom in the hooks for rotation.
In order to more clearly explain this my invention, I have appended hereunto
an illustrative drawing upon which are figures and numbers of reference, similar
numbers referring throughout to the same thing or part.
Fig. 1, is a front view of a swivel hook made according to this my invention.
Fig. 2, is a plan view of the same.
Fig. 3, is a sectional view in elevation on line A-B (Fig. 2).
5, 5, are hooks which are cast in a group and attached to a common centre 6.
7, is a base which is tubularwise brought downwards to a terminal boss 8. In
the centre G, and the boss 8, is a hole in which is passed the pin 9, having the
head 10, which is rivetted at 11, over the washer 12, but with sufficient freedom
to permit of rotation.
Suitable means such as holes 13, are provided for attachment to ceiling or other
fixture.
The base 7, and the hooks 5, are preferably of cast iron and bronzed, brassed
or otherwise coated. By thus attaching the two together by means of a separate
pin, I am enabled to use common cast iron which when coated appears like and
for practical purposes is equal to superior metal.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The combination of hooks 5, having common centre 6, tubular base 7, with
separate connecting pin 9, all as set forth and shown.
Dated this 24th day of March 1899.
