WILLIAM L, WALKER, OF NEW YORK, N'- Y.
SUSPENSION APPARATUS.
Application filed December 28. 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM L. WALKER, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Suspension Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to suspension apparatus, and more particularly to apparatus for suspending relatively light, small and inexpensive articles such as whisk brooms, feather dusters and the like. As is wellknown, the price at which articles of this general class must of necessity be sold, does not permit the furnishing as a part thereof of a strong and durable suspension member, and in practice they are usually suspended by a light string or cord. It is, I believe, a matter of common observation and eXperience that the suspension string of these articles not only constitutes an insecure hanger which soon becomes broken or worn out in service, but also is a source of annoyance to users, because the string does not lift readily from the hookand is readily broken by the pull or jerk naturally given to remove the article. Then, too, in many instances articles of this general class are sold without suspension apparatus of any kind, so that some crude and usually insecure apparatus has to be contrived for hanging or suspending the article.
It is the object of this invention to provide suspension apparatus which is inexpensive, durable, adapted to withstand the usual conditions of service, readily removable from a hook or nail, and which can be quickly and easily removed from a worn out brush or the like and be again put in service.
Referring to the drawings which illnstrate certain embodiments of my invention, of which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the preferred form of my invention;
Fig. 2 shows the apparatus in its preferred forim in use as a hanger for a whisk broom; an
Figs. 3 and 4 are perspective views of alternative forms of my invention.
In its preferred form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, my improved apparatus consists of Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. '7, 1919.
Serial No. 139.297.
an annular holding member A of rubber or other suitable elastic material, an annular loop member B, preferably though not essentially, of the same material as the holding member A, and a connecting piece C preferably of the same material as the holding member A.
The said holding member A is adapted to pass over and fit below the usual knob or head H of the brush handle W or similar article, thus preventing accidental disen gagement. Or, in the event that the handle is without a knob or head, the elastic force of the rubber of which the holding member is made, insures a tight hold. The loop member B is adapted to fit over and rest upon the usual nail or hook N, and the connecting piece C is of sufficient length to permit the brush or other article to hang straight.
The forms of my invention shown in Figs. 3 and A are the same as that just described, except that the connecting piece C is omitted and the loop member B is formed integral with theholding member A and of the same or similar resilient material. As shown in Fig. 4;, the loop member B is elongated rather than of annular form.
A suspension apparatus constructed in accordance with my invention as above described, is simple and can therefore be economically manufactured and sold at the low price which is essential. It can be readily secured to the brush or other article and as readily detached therefrom when the article is worn out. It can readily be lifted from the hook or nail, and by reason of its elasticity is not broken by any of the usual downward pulls or jerks incident to service.
I claim: 1
1. A suspension device comprising an integral piece of rubber having two loops respectively adapted to fit over an article and to fit over a hook or the like.
2. A suspension device comprising an integral piece of rubber having two loops adapted to fit over an article and a hook re spectively and having a shank joining the two loops together.
Signed by me at Boston this 18th day of November, 1916.
WILLIAM L. WALKER.
