PEERLESS HAMMOCK ATTACHMENTS 



(IMPROVED ), Patented November 18, 1879. 

 THEY CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY HAMMOCK. 



They consist of two adjustable 

 (Spreaders, and a yielding Head- 

 Rest or Pillow. The Spreaders 

 are made from hard wood, bent bow 

 shape. They are provided with hooks 

 on the lower edge, which fasten into 

 the netting of the. Hammock, and 

 hold the spreaders lirinlv in position. 

 These spreaders arc placed at each 

 end of the Hammock, as shown in 

 cut. They arc readily removable for 

 stowing the Hammock conveniently 

 away. "The Pillow consists of astrip 

 of cotton duck. IS inches long and (i 

 inches wide; it is provided with a 

 honk at cadi end. and is shorter than 

 that, part nl the Hammock over which 

 it extends, so that it will be drawn 

 taut when the Hammock is properly 

 suspended, and thereby elevated 

 above the central part of the Ham- 

 mock, constituting thus a yielding 

 head-rest . The utility of this novelty 

 will be seen at a glance. 



The SPKEAl'KIts keep the Hammock 

 onen like a cot, and remove its cramp- 

 propensities entirely. Ladies 

 «n can use the Hammock 

 »er of overturning. The 

 PILLOW is a Cool, comfortable head- 

 ■est, and will lie found a great acqui- 

 sition to the Hammock. The attach- 

 nents make the Hammock a complete

THE ANCHOR HAMMOCK ROPES, 



PATENTED MAY 3, 1881. 



A 



up . 



It is the simplest and best, contrivance 

 ever ottered for the pufpose. 



The Hammock can lie adjusted to any 

 height by sliding the anchor up or down 

 the rope. This will lengthen or shorten 

 the rope, and hold it secure in the length 

 to which it has been adjusted. The 

 anchor operates on the rope as a friction 

 clasp and slide, and as soon as weight 

 is placed in the Hammock, the anchor 

 w ill bite on the tope and insure positive safety in sustaining the Hammock. 



The Hammock can be rigged up and taken down ill an instant without tying a knot.
