To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEON COHEN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Self-Adjusting Hat Conformers and Retainers, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof;
My invention relates to improvements in self-attaching hat conformers and retainers, wherein a textile tube, sheath or envelop, open at both ends and having therein an elastic cord and a strip, of spring metalor other analogous material, carrying at intervals pointed projections, coiiperate to serve as a device which is self attachable to a hat, and which may be made to fit hats of difi'erent shapes and sizes, and act as a conformer to the wearers head, as well as a means for retaining the hat on the head.
The object of my invention is to make an article of manufacture, complete and ready for use, which without extraneous securing devices may be attached within the crown of a hat and provide an adjustable, elastic support and retainer for the hat on the wearers head. To the above purposes, my invention consists in the construction of the device hereinafter fully described, specifically designated in my claims and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a hat having the device of my invention'therein; Fig. 2 is a plan of the device ready for insertion in a hat; Fig. 3 is an enlarged, detail sectional elevation, showing one of theattaching, pointed projections; and Fig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 3, removed from the pointed projections.
' ing drawings: 5 desi Referring by numerals to the accompanyates the crown of an ordinary hat, which in itself forms no part of my invention, and which may vary infinitely as to size and style. 6 designates the body of the device of my invention, which takes the form of an open ended tube, sheath or envelop, constructed of flexible material, such as cloth. This tube is made of a single piece or strip of material, having its side margins united, formin a single seam extending lengthwise thereo Within this tube there is extended a strip 7, of material such as spring steel, having its one end 8 doubled back to provide means for holding the tube against lengthwise movements over the metallic strip, as well as to provide a finished end for the metal strip. he other end of the strip projects beyond the cloth tube, so that it may be inserted in the opposite open end of the tube when in use. a
At intervals the metallic strip has secured thereto pointed projections 9, and by preference these pro ections are formed of wire wrapped aboutthe metallic strip after the strip is placed within the cloth tube, thereby serving as means, additional to the strip end 8, to hold the cloth to the metal strip.
These devices are made, handled and sold, as just described, that is, straight, with the metallic spring strip straight, and are applied to the hat by simply bending to the form shown in Fig. 2, pressing the pointed projections into or through the hat crown, the elasticity of the metal strip serving to hold it to the hat crown and the pointed projections seated in the hat crown. The ends of the elastic cord are then united and drawn to cause the cloth tube to stand in a substantially horizontal position between the metallic strip and the elastic cord. By such an arrangement, the hat is provided with a flexible horizontal flange on its interior, having an elastic inner edge whereby to adapt the hat to difi'erent sized heads, and to support the hat on a horizontal, flexible and elastic flange, which will permit the placing and removal of the hat with a minimum of coiifure disturbance, as well as to retain the hat without necessitating the use of ins and the like, such as hat pins. T aving thus'described my invention, what Iclaim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States therefor, is:
' 1. A self-attaching hat conformer and retainer, comprising a flexible member, an
elastic cord arranged at one of the side margins of the flexible member, and an elastic strip, having ointed projections, at the margin of the exible member opposite the elastic cord, said strip having its ends unattached to each other.
I ,105 2. As a new-article of manufacture, a'self that its one end will extend beyond the tube for insertion into the opposite open end of the tube, pointed projections carried by the strip for engaging a hat crown for the retentlon of thedevlce and means carried by the strip other than sald pro ections for securing the strip to the flexible tube.
beyond the tube, means for securing the tube against longitudinal movement relative to the strip, pointed projections carried by the strip, and an elastic cord for insertion through the tube, the ends of said strip-being unattached-to each other substantially as shown and for the purposes stated. 7
In testimony whereof, Lhave signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
