" JOHN A. BORTHWICK, 0F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, .ASSIGNORl TO HIMSELE AND GEORGE W. HESS, OE SAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No.v 111,309, dated January 31, 1871.
IMPRCVEMENT IN HAT-.SUPPORTERS AND VENTILATORS COMBINED.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
I, J ons onrnwlcn, of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a combined Hat-supporter and Ventilator, of which the following isa specification.
Nature and Object of. the Invention.
My invention consists of a supportingaud ventilating device for hats, too fully described hereafter to' need preliminary explanation, the main object of my invention being to prevent the soiling or Vrumpling of the top' of asilk or other hat b' vsupporting it at such a slight distance above the oI ject upon which it is placed that it shall be i'ree from actual contact with the same.
Description of the Accompanying Drawing.A
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a hat witlrmy com'- biued supporter and ventilator;
Figure 2, the same, showing the hat inverted and supported; Y
Figure 3, 'au enlarged perspective view of the supporting and Ventilating devices; and i Figures 4 and 5 enlarged sectional views of the same in dilerent positions.
Gene/ral DcscrLlp-tion.
A represents a short tube of thin sheet metal, open at both ends or closed at the end a, and provided at its opposite end with an outer flange, l), and' lips b, which-enable it to be secured to the top of a hat in the same manner as the usual ventilating eyelet, the tube being contained entirely within the hat, as shown in igs. l and 2.
Vlithinl the tube there is a weighted slide, B, the
motion of which is limitedby a screw or pin, e, pro- Y jecting from it into a longitudinal slot, c', formed in the tube.
To one end of this weighted slide, at the points h, are pivoted three or other suitable number of rods or levers, C, each of which has arm, '11', both perfectly straight throughout theirleugth, but bent at the pivoting point at au angle in respect t each other.
vWhen the weighted slide is drawn into the tube,
Aas shown. in g. 4, the short arms of the pivoted rods O will project outwardthrough longitudinal slots j 'cut in the tube, and tlieI long arms ot' the said rods" will be drawn closely together within the tube.
0n inverting. the tubethe weighted `slide will descend toward the lower end of the same, pushing the a long arm, and short bent rods c before it, and the. latter will remainI iutheir original position, as shown in fig. .3, until their extended short arms strike the shoulders :t at the ends ot' the slotsj, when the said short arms will, owing to the presence of the weight, be immediately drawn inward against the latter, and the long arms will be coigespondingly thrown outward or extended, as shown 1n g.' 5.
lhe long arms of the rods, when thus extended, serve to support the hat in the manner plainly shown in hg. 2, at a short distance above lthe floor, table, or other object upon which it is placed, thus preventing actual contact of the hat with such object and the soiling or rurnplin'g of the top of the same.v
The arms are prevented from folding together, or slidingr up into the tube when thus extended to support the hat, by shoulders y y, at the end ofthe tube, against which they bear. (See iig. 5.)
It is not absolutely necessary that the arms i of the rods should be of any-greater length than is required to enable them to be acted on by the shoulders4 a of, the tube, butI prefer to make them of about thc* length shown in the drawing, and to adapt them to grooves p cut in the weight, so that they may lie flat against'the latter Vand thus iirmly support the arms i when the latter are extended.l
rlhe above arrangement is entirely automatic in its action, and requires no handling or adjustment, the weighted slideV drawing the arms into the tube and entirely concealing the same when the hat is placed upon the head, and again causing them to be extended when the hat is inverted. p
The device will serve as a ventilator as effectively as the usual eyelet, as full provision is made fora circulation of air through theslots c and j.
Claim. A hat-supporting and Ventilating device, consisting of a slotted tube arranged to be attached to the top of a hat, and containing a weighted slide, B, and pivoted supporting-'arms C, and operating substantially as herein described.
In testimony whereofI have signed my name to this specification in the witnesses.
