June 24, 1930. H, ROMAN El AL I 1,767,897 i HOOK Filed July 26. 1929 Patented June 24, 1930 HARRY J. ROMAN AND WILLIAM C. DIETPJICH, OF DUNSMUIB, CALIFORNTA HOOK Application filed July 26, 1929. Serial No. 381,230.

This invention relates to improvements in hooks, and has particular reference to a hook which may be used for hanging cups and the like where it is desirable to have the same securely held to prevent accidental displacement and consequent breakage of the cup.

Another object of our invention is to provide a device which conforms to the general practise in hanging cups. I

,A further object is to provide a device of this character which is simple in construction, neat in appearance, economical to manufacture and one which is well within the purchase price of the householder.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, and in which like numerals are employed. to designate like arts throughout the same,

Figure I is a side elevation of our imprpived hook showing a cup hung thereon, an

Figure II is an edge view of the same.

It is common practise to suspend cups by their handles from hooks placed in a suitable support such as beneath a shelf. It often occurs that the cups so placed are accidentally knocked from the hook, which results in considerable breakage which with our device is avoided.

We have therefore provided simple means whereby accidental displacement of the cup from the hook will be eliminated and by referring to the drawing it will be apparent that the numeral 5 designates a shelf, in the under side of which is screwed a hook 6 having a nose 7 The hook 6 is of ordinary construction and needs no further comment thereon.

The ferrule 8 is secured to the ends 9 and 11 of a spring which is formed into coils 12 and 13, having a connecting tongue 14 which is adapted to lie in close proximity to the nose 7 of the hook.

The result of this construction is that the handle of the cup may be placed on the hook as shown in the figures, and may be re moved therefrom through the fact that the of the subjoined claim.

end 14 will move to either the dotted line position of Figure I, thus permitting the placing or removing of the cup. 7

It is to be understood that the form of our invention herewith shown and described is .to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes relative to the shape, size, material and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention, or the scope Having thus described our invention, we claim In a device of the character described a hook having a bent end terminating in a nose, said hook having a ferrule thereon, a spring connected to said ferrule, said spring comprising a tongue, coils formed integral with said tongue and having the ends thereof secured to said ferrule, the tongue of said spring being spaced from the nose of, said hook and in axial alignment therewith.

In testimony whereof we afiix our signatures.
