WILLIAM A. DOW, OF ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, ASSIGNOR TO BROWN AND BIGELOW, 0F ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, A CORPORATION OF MINNESOTA.

CAP.

Application filed January 9, 1913.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. Dow, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented an Improvement in Caps, of which the following is a specifb cation.

The object of this invention is to provide a cap, which can be easily and quickly cut, and the parts sewed together in the least eX- pensive manner.

A further object is to produce a cap from a minimum amount of material, without sacrificing good appearance and substantial quality.

With these objects in view, I havesucceeded in producing a cap of a serviceable design, which is distinctive in character and ornamental, and which can be cut from material with a minimum amount of waste.

In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, Figure l is a perspective of my invention in use, and Fig. 2 is a geometrical development of my invention.

In the drawing A represents the pearshaped crown of the cap, B the side, and C the viZor. These parts are assembled together, and are of suitable shape to produce my invention. The crown A has a semi-clrcular body portion 2, extending rearwardly with concaved rearwardly converging side edges, forming a portion of the crown, and the back of the cap. The side B is formed with a regular convex curve along its lower edge 3, and tapers toward its opposite ends into points 4, the upper concaved edge 5 of said side being so formed as to conform with the side edges of the crown when the crownand side are joined together to produce a rearwardly sloping front wall. The lower edge of the side and the end edge 6 of the crown coin- Speciication of Letters Patent.

cide to produce the entire straight lower edge of the cap. The vizor C ofusual constructionk is secured to the front portion of the cap along its lower edge by sewing or any otherl suitable. means. As a result, a three piece cap is produced with a downwardly sloping back but which is substantially kuniform in depth throughout, z'. e., in the height of the crown from the lower edge of the cap, so as to present an extremely simple, neat and inexpensive head covering. The means for securing the upper edge of the side to the crown is by stitching or by any other suitable means.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and I desire to protect by Letters Patent is:

A cap comprising a single piece crown having an elongated reduced neck portion terminating in a'straight edge which forms the rear lower edge of the cap, a second piece forming the front and sides of the cap, the lower edge of said second piece being convex throughout and the upper edge of said second piece being concave intermediate its length and terminating at either end in a convex edge, the upper concave-convex edge of said second piece being connected throughout its entire length to the crown to form a cap of substantially uniform depth throughout, and the reduced portion of the crown bridging the space between the ends of said second piece and forming with the lower edge of said second piece a straight lower edge for the cap.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
