Patent for improvement in hook and eye in which it will enable the “coacting parts to be readily engaged with each other, be closed with a snap by lateral pressure, which will not slacken or have play where they engage each other. It will not become accidentally detached, and have resilience between the engaged members that insures their remaining connected. It also will not have gap between the dress flaps when the members join together.” (Lines 13-21) Illustration is included.
