ATE

heifiti i HOOK FOR EYEGLASS CHAINS.

Application filed February 9, 1922. Serial No. 535,240.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, Cr-rAnLns L. Hoeon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Hook for Eyeglass Chains, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved hook for engaging the hair to prevent eye glasses from dropping.

Referring to the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated and which forms a part of this specification:

Figure 1 is a front view of a pair of eye glasses with my hookconnected to the chain which is connected to one of the glasses.

Figure 2 is a front view or my hook.

My hook is made of a single piece or" wire bent in the middle into an eye 1, then twisted together from said eye into a twist 2, then bent into two spring arms 3 and 4, which arms are bent over each other at 5 and h then bent outwardly first at about 45 to the axis of the hook and then at an angle so that they diverge outwardly slightly toward their ends, and then baekwardly upon their forward sides int hook members 7 and 8. The eye 1. is connected by a ring $3 to one end of a chain 10, the other end of said chain being connected by a ring 11 to one of the lenseslQ of a pair of eye glasses.

The arms 3 and 4- may he sprung inwardly and the hook members 7 and 8 brought together so that the hook may be easily insert- 35 ed into the hair. Upon releasing said arms the hook members are sprung outwardly and they catch firmly in the hair.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. A hook comprising a single piece of 40 wire bent into an eye, spring arms extendingfrom the eye, the upper ends of the spring arms being twisted in one direction and the arms being twisted together approximately in the middle in the opposite i s direction, said arms diverting above and below the second twist, said arms terminating in U shaped hooks.

2. A hook con'iprisinp a single piece of wire bent into an eye, spring arms extending as from the eye, the upper ends of the spring arms being twisted in one direction and the arms being twisted together approximately in the middle in the pposite direction, said arms diverging above and below the second he twist, said arms terminating in U shaped hooks, said hooks lying in planes at right anglesto the plane of the spring arms.

In testimony whereof I atiix my signat re.

CHARLES L. HOGUE.
