HEAD-COVERING FOR PROTECTION AGAINST INSECTS.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented NOV. 16, 1920.
Application filed November 18, 1919. Serial No. 338,919.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, VIRGIL T. LEAK and IRVING J. THOMAS, citizens of the United States, and residents of Cocoanut Grove, in the county of Dade, State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Head-Coverings for Protection Against Insects, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to a head covering or screen for protection against insects, such as flies, mosquitos, bees, and the like.
The primary object of the invention is to improve the construction of this general class of devices, whereby not only is the device capable of being worn with utmost comfort, but its construction is such as to permit the wearer to perform many kinds of laborious tasks which were impossible with heretofore known like devices.
Another object is to so construct the device that it may be used with various hat models and readily exchanged from one to the other.
Other objects will appear upon reference to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the de vice attached to a hat;
Fig. 2 is a side view; and
Fig. 3 is a cross-section of a hat brim, showing the manner of attaching the device.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A represents a conventional type of hat, having.
the usual brim, to which is attached the device, which, in its preferred form, comprises a screen 5, composed of any substantially flexible material, such as ordinary smallmesh screen wire. The screen is preferably of a single piece, formed to provide a veilshaped covering, with its ends joined together, and having a marginal portion bent to provide an attaching flange 6 for securing the device to the hat brim. In order to adapt the flange 6 to the shape of the brim, it is out, as at 7, at different points, so that the confronting edges may be overlapped. Suitable fasteners 8 are employed to impale the hat brim (see Fig. 3), with the flange confined between their heads and the hat brim. This form of attachment enables the device to be applied to and removed from the hat at will.
12, directly beneath the elongated extension 10. The apron will not in any way interfere with the free use of the wearers arms or obstruct his vision in a downward direction, in view of the extension 10. As above stated, the lower edge 9 of the screen is curved, the curvature increasing from the back to the front of the devi e, thus providing the elongated extension heretofore men tioned. Although the curved lower edge of the screen terminates above and does not contact with the shoulders of the wearer, its curvature, nevertheless, conforms to the general contour of a persons shoulders. This helps to permit the device being worn with comfort and freedom of movement of the body.
Claim.
A device of the character described comprising a screen having its u per marginal portion flanged inwardlv to afford a hat brim engaging edge. said flan ed marginal portion beingcut transversely at intervals and the confronting edges thereof overlapped, said screen also having a curved lower edge. the curvature of the said ower ed e in reasing in a downward direction from the back to the front of the'devi e and providing an elongated extension on the device, a bottom closure for the screen com rising an apron secured to the said lower edge. and ada'oted to terminate around the shou d rs of the wearer of the device. and means for detach ablv securin the flan ed maroinal ortion to the hat brim at he points where the. onfronting ed es of the transverse cuts of the flanged marginal portion overlap.
