Filed June /15. 1928 QT-TOQ NE) Patented Nov. 12, 1929 insane EDWARD wrrmoorr, on s'r. Louis, MIssounI, nssrenon 'ro OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A COREORATIOIN OF MISSOUBI HAT Application filed. June 13,
This invention relates generally to headwear and, more particularly, to a certain new and useful improvement in hats having flexible brims.
and easily adjusted to place the visor into or out .of its sun-shading position, and which will be efficient and satisfactory for use wherever found applicable.
Many other objects and advantages of the construction herein shown and described will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains, from the disclo substantially flush therewith when the atsures herein given.
And with such ob ects'in vlew, my mvention resides in the novel features of form,
construction arrangement, and combination of parts hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a hat 7 embodying my invention, the visor being shown in its operative eye-shading position; Figure 2 1S a front elevational view of the same; and
Figure 3 is a front elevational view of the hat, showing the visor in its inoperative position. 7
Referring now more in detail and by reference characters to the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of my invention, A designates the hat proper, which may be of any desired size and shape and of any suitable material, the particular hat depicted being constructed of straw or other light, flexible fiber especially suitable for wear in hot weather or out in the open, as when fishing, camping, harvesting, or the like.
The hat A includes a body or crown 1 and a flexible relatively wide brim, 2, the latter encircling and projecting outwardly from the crown and being somewhat curled, dished'or rounded in contour, presenting a concave surface on its upper side and a convex surface on its under side.
In order that the hat may be. most suitable 1923; sea; nonsense.
for those conditions of wear" for which it is I n designed, I have provided a visor B1 -"fcoperable'therewith, this visor being imposed against the under surface of'the brim 2 of the hat, as shown in Figure 3, when inits inoper- 5 ativeposition, and being adapted to extend obliquely downwardly andforwardly of the its operative position.
brim, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, when in Q The visor B islpreferablyf constructed "of-" 6. I
some flexible material which will permit the light to pass thcrethrough without glare, as
for examplecolored sheet celluloid or similar mater al. The v sor has a continuous arcuate or. rounded'front and. side edge 3, :con-
forming somewhat to the. curivatureof the periphery of the brim 2 of the hat, so as to be tached visor is in its inoperative positior'nthe edge 3. A'strip of suitable binding material 5 may be sewed or otherwise'secu'red to the visorto bind its edge 3, and a flexible binding-strip 6' is secured along a margin to'the 'io straight edge 4 of the'vis or. The stri-p'fi is of a width ,to project rearwardly aislight distance beyond the visor-edge. 4.
" And passed'through the strip brim 2, is a line or row of stit'ching 7 which so is disposed more or lessgadjacent tlieibaseof the crown 1, andwhich is approXimatelylpa-r- :allel withthe visor rear-edge 4; .The' 'visor B is thereby permanently attached to the hat along one edge only, the visor being otherwise t5 free, and the tape or binding6 thus providing a hinge connection between the visor B and I the hat-brim 2'. As so hingedly attached to the hat A, the visor B, when in its inoperative or non-eye-shading position, will lie eo against the under surface of the'brim 2 and assume a substantially dished or rounded surface contour. However, when it is desired to bring or dispose the'visor B into its operative position, it is merely necessary to swing the -ee visor downwardly about its line of attach-- ment 8, the relatively stiff visor rear edge 4;] v
straightening out the relatively softer or more flexible material'ofthe brim along the line 7, the visor B being thereby automatically 'wo V surnnron near comr'nniz,
6 are, hatarrangement, and combination of parts there- V held or retained in its adjusted obliquely downwardly and forwardly extending position, shown in Figures 1 and 2. As soon as the visor B is swung back to its inoperative position, the brim 2 will again assume its curved surface along the line of securement 7.
It is obvious that various modificationsmay be made in my new visored hat without departing from the spirit of my invention;
ence I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact form,'construction,
of as herein shown and described, or uses mentioned, except as limited by the claims. Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patentis:
1. The combination with a hat having a flexible dished brim, of a visor, and hingeproviding means permanently securing the visor along an approximate straight line to said brim the visor being adapted, when in its inoperative position, to assume a dished form and lie against the under surface of the brim, and when in its operative position to project obliquely downwardly and forwardly from the brim.
2. The combinationwith aihathaving a l ,flexible dished brim, ofa visor of flexible l stantially as vperiphery.
material having a substantially straight rear edge, andvmeans hingedly securing said visor to the brim alongsaid straight edge, the visor having a curved free edge conforming subto the curvature of the hat-brim 3; The combinationwith ahat having a flexible brimv convex on its under surface, of v v avlsor cooperable therewith and of a mate rial relatively stiffer than that of the brim,
' 7 straight rear edge intersectlng the same, and
said visor having an arcuate' edge and a a strip of material secured to said brim on a straight line and attached to said visor along said straight rear edge, whereby said visor mayv be swung about its straightrearedge to either its operative or inoperativeposition and automatically heldthereat. I V t Y Intestimony whereof, I"havesi-gned my wname t'ogthis specification.
