Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. iid, i915.
Application led September 18, 1914. Serial No. 862,360.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH MARTIN, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sweat-Band Protectors, of which the following is a specification.
The general object of this invention is to provide a means for preventing the soiling of the sweat band of a hat by the action of the perspiration when the hat is in use. And to this end the invention consists in providing a protector which may be readily attached and detached to a sweat band, and in forming the protector so as to provide a pocket in which is arranged a band of material for stiffening the protector and a band of material capable of absorbing perspiration.
Other objects will appear and be better understood from that embodiment Of my invention of which the following is a speciication7 reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which z Y Figure l is a vertical sectional view of a hat illustrating the use of my improved protector. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of a hat showing more clearly the construction of the protector and the means for securing the same to the sweat band, and Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the protector with parts broken away for the sake of clearness.
Referring to the drawings in detail, l indicates a hat, 2 the sweat band thereof and 3 my improved interchangeable protector which is detachably secured to the -sweat band at the upper edge thereof by any suitable means such as by the spring clips 4:.
In the construction of the protector I employ a single thin strip of porous fabric and fold the same longitudinally upon itself along its side edges as at 5 and 6 and at its end edges 7 and 8 so as to provide the overlapping tongues whereby to form a closed pocket, in the shape of a hollow strip or band 9. p
The hollow strip or band is preferably of the width of the hat band and in order to stiften the same so that the protector may be readily held in position when secured to a hat band, I arrange within the pocket a stiifening strip o r band of material l0, This band is preferably formed of iieXible celluloid or like material and is of substantially the same width as that of the protector so that the protector may readily adapt itself to the curvature of the hat.
Arranged within the pocket and interposed between the outer face thereof and the stiffening band is a layer of material 11, capable of absorbing perspiration. This material is preferably formed of a strip of blotting paper or similar substance and is of a width equal to about two thirds of that of the stiffening band. This strip of absorbing material is arranged within the lower end of the pocket at a position where it may be effectively utilized for absorbing the perspiration from the head of a person wearing a hat to which my protector has been attached.
In attaching the device to a hat the side on which the overlapping tongues are located is usually arranged against the outer face of the sweat band and a number of small spring clips are utilized for securing the protector to the sweat band" along the upper or free edge thereof.
The protector may be made in any length desired but it is my intention to make them about one half the circumference of a hat so that two of them may be secured to a hat, one around the front and the other around the back half thereof. The protectors may be readily replaced when worn and it is also obvious that should either the strengthening strip7 or the strip for absorbing the perspiration be desired to be replaced it is necessary only to open the pocket by turning back the overlapping tongues and replace the strip desired after which the pocket may be again reformed.
What I claim as new is:
l. A sweat band protector for hats, comprising a strip of thin porous fabric folded so as to provide a pocket, a stiifening band of non-absorbent material inserted in said pocket and a layer of material capable of absorbing perspiration interposed between the outer face of the pocket and the stiifening band.
2. A detachable sweat band protector for hats, comprising a strip of thin porous fabric folded at its side and ends so as to provide a pocket, a stiifening band inside said pocket, Ya layer of materia-l capable of absorbing perspiration inside of said pocket In testimony whereof I, nfix my signature and interposed between the outer face of the in presence of two witnesses. pocket and the stiening band and spring l JOSEPH MARTIN. clips adapted to engage'the upper edges ofy Vitnesses:
