ANT lf ldT@E.
EDMUND BREWSTER, OF DATSYVILLE, EITGLAND.
MEANS FOR. HOLDING HATS.
Application filed October 31, 1916.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDMUND BREWSTER, a subject of the King of England, residing at Daisyville, Daisy ltoad, South Woodford, in the county of Essex, England, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Means for Holding Hats of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to means for holding a hat when not in use and is more especially suitable for holding a hat on the bottom of the seat of a tip-up chair of the kind generally used in theaters, music-halls, and the like, although it may be applied for the purpose of holding hats upon the backs of chairs, upon walls or in any other desired position.
' The invention comprises a foundation, framework, or the like, which may be constructed especially for the purposefor which may be constituted by the seat of the chair or other surface upon which the hat is to be held; a light bar provided with means of attachment to the said foundation or framework and so bent that a portion thereof is held at a suflicient distance from the foundation for the brim of the hat to be inserted between it and the said foundation; and a spring clip, which, when the hat is in position, is adapted to spring over and hold a portion of the brim, preferably that directly opposite the portion held by the first mentioned fitting, the spring clip being adapted to open outward so that the hat can be readily inserted and withdrawn, and where fitted to a seat or the like being so constructed that it has no outwardly projecting or tail portion likely to catch the clothes.
In order that my said invention may be better understood, I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawing accompanying this specification in which Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a theater seat tipped up with my invention fitted thereto, and showing a hat held in position. Fig. 2 is a front elevation and Fig. 8 a side view of the spring-clip portion of the device. Fig. 4 shows a modified form of the device.
The same numerals of reference are employed to denote the same parts in all the views.
1 is a bar or rod fitted across the bottom of the tip-up-seat at the back, the bottom surface'of the seat in this case serving as Specification of Letters Patent.

the foundation against or upon which the hat rests. As will be seen the bar or rod is so bent and fitted that it stands up a short distance away from the seat-bottom 2, in order to enable the brim of the hat 3 to pass easily under and between it and the seat bottom 2. In the center, at the front of the seat bottom 2, is fitted the second or spring clip portion of the device. This is shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and comprises a plate 4 provided with holes 5 for screws or the like, by which the device is attached to the seat bottom. The plate f is bent with two upstanding lugs'o coming opposite to one another. These lugs form bearings for projecting portions of another plate 7. The plate 7 is formed with two loops or the like 8, and the plate l with two other loops or the like 9. Spiral tension springs 10 connect the loops 8 and 9. The plate 7 is bent as shown, and finishes in a roll or the like 11, which comes upon the brim of the hat.
in Fig. 4:, the roll is made of wood or the like covered with a layer 14L of velvet, plush or the like, and in this case, the plate is bent With spikes 12 and a lug 13, by which it is attached to the roller.
To place the hat in position, the clip is lifted, as shown dotted at Fig. 3, the brim of the hat is inserted between the bar 1 and the bottom 2 of the seat, the brim at the other side of the hat is brought beneath the clip, which is then released so that the roller 11 is brought down by the action of the springs 10, thus holding the hat firmly in position.
It will be understood that the particular method of carrying out the invention herein described and shown on the accompanying drawing may be varied, within the scope of the appended claims, without departing from the principle of the said invention.
The fitting may be applied to the back of a chair, to a wall or in any other suitable position.
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of Amerwe 1s 1. A device for holding a hat comprising V111 combination a foundation, a light bar provided with means of attachment to the said foundation and having a portion held,
at some distance therefrom, and a clip member attached to the said foundation, coming pendicular to the foundation surface, a part of said arm adapted to come into contact with and hold the brim of the hat, and spring means for keeping the said arm normally pressed toward the foundation, substantially as described.
2. In a tip-up chair, the combination with the lower surface of the seat-portion thereof of a device for holding hats comprising a light bar provided with means of attachment to the said surface and havin# a portion held at some distance therefrom, and a clip member attached the said surface, coming opposite the bar and comprising an arm pivoted so as to swing over in a plane perpendicular to the surface, a part of the said arm being adapted to come into contact with and hold the brim of the hat, and spring means for keeping the said arm normally pressed toward the surface, substantially as described.
3. In a tip-up chair, the combination with the lower surface of the seat-portion thereof of a device for holding hats comprising a light bar provided with means of attachment to the said surface and having a portion held at some distance therefrom, and a clip member attached to the said surface and coming opposite the bar, such clip member comprising a plate attached to the surface and provided with upstanding lugs, another plate constituting an arm and furnished with pivots pivoted to the lugs on the first mentioned plate, in such a way that the plate constituting the arm can swing in a plane perpendicular to the surface, a roll for pressing on the brim of a hat at the free end of the said arm, and spring means adapted to keep the said roll pressed toward the surface when the clip is released, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDMUND BREWSTER.
