UNITED STATES PATENT QEEICE.
JOHN W. MILLER, OF JOLIEI, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CONFRMATORS.
Speciication forming part of Letters Patent No. 152,910, dated July 14, 1874; application filed June 8, 1874.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, J oHN XV. MILLER, of Joliet, in the county of Will and State of Illinois, have invented an Improved Conforinator, oi' which the following is a speciiication:
The nature oft thisl invention relates to an improvement in that class of devices which are used by retail batters for getting the exact contour of customers head, from which a well-ttin g hat can subsequently be made. The invention consists in an elliptic plate having an oval opening, in which two elastic bands of thin steel are supported by slotted clips pivoted thereto, and adjustably secured, by thumb-screws, to the outer plate or rim. The ends ofthe bands are overlapped, and they are caused to contract to the head by one or more rubber springs or bands, when the steel bands may be securely clamped and used as a templet to draw off the contour of the head on a piece ot' paper, which is then sent to the hat-maker to guide him in blocking the hat.
Figure l is a perspective view. enlarged cross-section at 00 a.
In the drawing, A represents an elliptic :metal rim, having an opening of similar shape surrounded by an upturned ilange, a. B B
Fig. 2 is an are bands of thin elastic steel, their ends overlapping, but kept together in such a inanner that they can slide upon each other by the shank b of a rivet on one projecting through a slot, c, in the other.
At intervals lugs d are to each, by means of a pin, e, clips O are pivoted thereto, each clip passing through a slot in the flange a, and slotted to pass the shank of a clan1p-screw, D, which is tapped into the rim A. A portion of the clips may be secured directly to the bands. 4An elastic india-rubber band or strap, f, may encircle the bands B to contract them upon each other, or shorter bands of the saine material, or spiral springs, may be secured to the pins c nearest theends at each lap for a like purpose.
Vhen it is desired to secure the contour of a eustomers head, the screws D all being loosened, the device is put on like a hat, when the rubber springs will contract the exible bands B against the head on all sides. The screws are then tightened on the clips to hold the bands in their positions, when the conformator is removed and used as a templet to mark a diagram on paper to guide the hat-maker.
Vliat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The flexible elastic metal bands B l5, adjustably secured, by the slotted clips C and screws D, to the rim A, and one or more rubloer springs, f, for contracting the said bands, substantially as described.
