METHOD OF INSERTING HAT-LININGS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 1, 1919.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, IsIDoR RYBACK, of the borough of Brooklyn, city and State of New York, and LEON WOLF, of the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, both citizens of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Methods of Inserting Hat- Linings, of which the following is a specification.

The object of our invention is the improvement in the method of fastening linings into hats. 'Linings are generally of two sorts; one called the straight lining consists simply of a straight strip of cloth, and the other has a fiat, smooth top portion which is surrounded by a shirred lower portion.-

Hitherto, it has been the custom to sew the bottom portion of the lining into the hat by hand. This is always a slow process, and in the case of the second class, requires a great deal of skill and care on the part of the operator. Our method enables the lining to be inserted and retained without the employment of any skilled or careful sewing and if desired, without any sewing at all.

Similar numbers are used to denote simi lar parts in the drawing. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show a straight strip of lining 1, to which an adhesive strip 2 is sewn by stitches 5. This may be of rubberized buckram or any adhesive material. As shown in Fig. 2, the lower edge of the adhesive band is placed adjacent to the lower rim of the crown of the hat. The draw string may then be applied or it may be adjusted later. The lining is then pushed up into the crown of the hat as shown in Fig. 8, and hot iron or any heating device applied at various parts along the lower rim of the lining. The heat causes the rubberized band 2 to adhere to the inside of the hat crown as shown at 4.

It will be noted that in this modification,

the adhesive band is attached to the lining by ordinary machine sewing, in which case only the side of the band adjacent to the interior of the crown is rubberized.

Fig. 1 shows the application of our method as applied to the other and perhaps preferred form of hat lining. It is in this form that our method is of greater value, as it does away with the care required insewing the lining which ordinarily has to be carefully fitted to the rim or edge of the head portion. We have shown in this modification both inner and outer surfaces of the band covered with an adhesive solution so that the lining and the interior of the head portion are held firmly together. This invention is not only adapted to womens hats but can be used on mens hats, and employed as a means of causing the sweat band to adhere to the crown of the hat. Another important feature is that the lining can be so easily removed by this method. All that is needed is to apply heat to the brim of the crown, causing the adhesive material to melt and the lining can then be removed. It can then be put back into the hat as before or used again in another hat. One standard lining can be used for any headsize. In the claims we have used the expression head-size to indicate both the crown.

itself (preferably, though not necessarily, the lower portion thereof) and in cases where a two-piece hat is used to cover that portion of the crown where the brim portion of the hat folds over into the head-size.

Instead of using heat to cause the adhesive band to adhere to the lining or crown, a moistened adhesive strip can be used or any agency which will cause the adhesive band to adhere may be employed. In some adhesive preparations, a mere pressure without further means will be sufiicient to cause i the band to adhere.

Having described our invention, what we claim is:

1. The method of inserting hat linings in hats consisting of fastening an adhesive band between the lining and the head-size of the hat, and applying meansthereto to cause the lower portion of the lining and the head-size to adhere to it.

'2. The method of inserting linings in hats, consisting of sewing an adhesive band to the lower edge of the lining, folding the band over so that it lies between the lining and the head-size of the hat, and applying heat to the rim of the crown causing the crown and the lining to adhere to the band.

3. The method of attaching a lining to a hat which consists in interposing at the head-size anadhesive member between the are united.

4. The method of attaching the lining to a hat Which consists in providing'the lining with an adhesive band, interposing the adhesive hand between the lining and the headsize, and then applying heat and pressure to the lining to cause the adhesive band to se- 1 cure the lining and head-size together.
