546,159. Drawing-pins; hooks. LEVIN, A. April 23, 1941, No. 5212. [Class 89 (ii)] A member such as hook with a pin shank or a drawing pin is formed from a length of wire with a bent or coiled head extension in a plane substantially perpendicular to the shank. The hook, Figs. 1 and 2, has two pointed shanks a bent at right angles to form parts a' leading to coiled parts a<2> connected by a hook a' for supporting a picture. In a modification the points a are more widely spaced and two hooks a<4> are connected by a central bar in the plane of the parts a', a<2>. In the modification Fig. 4, the part a' which may have one or. more complete turns forms the head of a drawing-pin. In a further modification the end of the part a<2>, Fig. 4, is extended back across the diameter of the head parallel to a<1> and is then formed into a hook, e.g. for supporting a ticket.
