Abstract
A hook for clothes, wherein a male member is unlikely to escape from a female member when the male member engages with the female member and which can be attached on clothes easily by means of an automatic machine. More specifically, a hook for clothes comprising a female member, a male member and an attaching member, wherein the female member has an upheaved swollen portion at an end of its base plate; attaching holes in the upheaved portion; hook-shaped engaging pieces near the upheaved portion; the male member has a concave portion on a side face of its base plate allowing the engaging pieces to fix with play; an engaging protruded portion which engages the engaging piece provided at a rear end of the concave portion; attaching holes in the center of the base plate; the attaching member has attaching posts capable of being inserted into the attaching holes of the female and male members, provided on a face of its flat seat plate such that they are posted. The female and male members can be attached onto cloth by an automatic machine. When the male member is inserted into the female member and engaged therewith, the male member is prevented from escaping from the female member by the upheaved portion.
