SAFETY ATTACH NIENT.

SPECIFICATION forming parto!" Letters Patent No. 296,002, dated April 1, 1884. Application med January 1s, iss-1. (No model.)

'o all whom t marifoon/Gern'.-

Beit known that I, ELIZABETH G. HARLEY, of the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State'of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety Attachments, of which improvements the following is a specification.

- The object ofmy invention is 'to provide simple, convenient, and effective means for the attachment-of an umbrella, satchel, caba, or other small article ordinarily carried in the hand, to a part of the wearing-apparel of the person carrying'the same, so as to enable such article to be transported and handled as desired Wit-hout risk of being dropped or mislaid.

'Io this end my improvements consist in the ing-hook of special construction, also, in the combination of a cord or chain, a suspendinghook, a connecting-piece, and a series of ad! lasting-pieces, all as' hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective, illustrating" the appli-- cation of .my invention for carrying a ladys caba; Fig. 2, a similar view, showing it as used for carrying an umbrella; Figs. 8 and 4,vie\vs on an enlarged scale, showing, respectively, different constructions of the device as proper for the uses shown in Figs. l and 2; and Fig.

M-y complete device I term the universal attacher,77 inasmuch as it is adapted to be used for carrying almost any article of suffrhand. pending-hook, A, of wire, bent into the form shown in` the drawingswto Wit, having three substantially-parallel limbs forming two bends ot' U shape, with openings at opposite ends, respectively, of the hook, and havinga crosspiece or retainer, a, on one of its ends. A cord or chain, B, is connected at one of its ends to the bend ot' the hook A farthest from the cross-piece a, and is provided at its opposite end with a connecting-piece, b, through which the cord or chain is passed to form a loop around any convenient point of attachment on the article to be carried. When a chain is employed, the connecting-piece may i be a simple ring, asin Fig. 3, and ifa cord is used the connecting-piece is preferably in the form shown in lig. 4-that is to say, having a tubular portion fitting the cord (which may be single or double) and a lateral eye or ring. H

One or more adjusting-pieces, b', which may be of similar construction to the connecting-` piece b, are attached to the cord or chain B at a desired point or points in its length.

In the. use ol' the device, the suspendinghook A is connected to a button hole of'a coat, dress, or other outer garment, or to aV it and obviate risk of itsr being lost or inis-` laid. t

W'hen not in use, 4the chain may be left attached to the article, with the adjusting-pieces connected to the hook and looped up or not at pleasure.

I. claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. A suspending -hook for safety attachments, having two U-shaped bends turnedin opposite directions, and a cross-piece or retainer at the end of one of said bends, in combination with a cord or chain provided with means for attachment to said hook and to the article to be carried, substantially as set. forth. 2. The combination of a suspending-hook such as described, and a cord or chain connected at one end to said hook,and having a connecting piece, ring, or slide at the other,

. substantially as set forth.

3. The combination of a suspending-hook such as described, a cord or chain attached thereto, a connecting-piece attached to the opposite end of said cord or chain, and one or more adjusting-pieces attached to the cord or chain between the hook and the connectingpiece, substantially as set forth.

. ELIZABETH G. HARLEY.
