ABSTRACT:
A device for snagging a length of free-hanging flexible wire at an end and retaining the wire therein as the wire is routed across an inaccessible area. The device comprises an angulated hook having a pair of opposed edges meeting in an acute angle. The edges are provided with friction means positioned to face the interior region of the angulated hook for holding a wire or the like in the apical region of the hook. In the preferred embodiment the edges are provided by the opposing sides of a pair of elongate arms, and the friction means is provided by a pair of longitudinally extending planar surfaces meeting at an apex to define a knife-edge on the inner side of each arm, the knife-edges being positioned to oppose one another so that a length of wire snagged between the arms will be retained there by friction with the knife-edges.
