Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed April 12 1912. Serial No. 690,408

Be it known that IQLYMAK FISHELL, a

citizen of the United. States, residing at. Alburnett, in the county of Linn and State of-Iowa, have Invented certain new and useful Improvements in SafetyePin's, of which the following is a specification, reference be-' ing had to the accompanyingdrawings;

' This'invention relates tone; and useful improvement to safety-pins and more part1cularlytothat class of safety-pins which are made from a single length of wire, the

object of the invention being to provide a pin of this character which will possess advantages in points of eiiicienc and durabil ity,- is inexpensive of manu acture and at the same" time is simple in construction and operation.

' Another object of the invention is'to pro-' vide a safety-pin of the above character wherein thetinspring protector, which is. in use upon the safety-pin at the present time, is entirely eliminated.

lViththe above and other objectsin View, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of, described, pointed out' in the claim and shown in the accompanying drawings in which, H

Figure l is aperspective view of a safetypin constructed in accordance with my inventiou and, Fig. 2 is an end elevation.

In carrying out my invention, I provide a single length of wire of suitable size and length which is pointed at one end as shbwn at 1 to form the pin portion 2. The intermediate portion of the wire is bent to form the loops 3 and 4 which extend in opposite directions and form thespring 5, said loops being tapered and arranged in parallel relation. The wire is then arranged parallel with the pin portion 2 to the opposite end, it is then' bent at right angles out beyond parts hereinafter more fully inward zit-6, t'hen'outWa-rd, and then at right angles to' the pin to form the hook or seat],

the extreme end of said wire being then bent at right angles tothe'h'ook 7 and runs directly. across to the opposite side and bent o around-over and closed uponthe opposite side as shown at 8 to make a firm connection therewith.

- I am aware that it is not new to coil the intermediate portion and form a circular spring which in time loses its strength, but. by bending the wire at its intermediate pertion to form oppositely disposed loops as I have done, the spring will be much stronger than thecommon spring formed by coiling the wire.

.While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invent-ion it will be obvious that various changes in the. details of construction and in the proportions may 66 be resorted to for successfully carrying my' invention into practice without sacrificing I any of the novel features or departing from the scope thereof.

' What I claim'is:- p

A safety pincomprising asingle length of wire bent to form spaced parallel portions, a point formed at one end to provide a pin portion, and an engaging hook formed at the other end of the Wire to be engaged by the pointed end of the wire, the intermediate portion ofsaicl wire being bent to form parallel tapered loops. located at the ends of the parallel portions opposite the point and hook and extending in opposite directions, the wider ends of the loops being adjacent the respective parallel portions.

i In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix'my signature in the presence of two witnesses. v LYMAN FISHELL.
