Patented Jan. 19, 1932 RALPH I-I. RIDGEWAY, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS HATBAND Application filed March 6,
This invention relates to improvements in inner hat bands.
An object of the invention is to provide a hat band that is located on the inner surface ot' a hat or cap for the purpose of affording free and unrestricted circulation of the blood to the root-s of the hair. It is generally understood that baldness is due to the pressure of the sweat band or interior band cutting olf or partially preventing the free circulation of the blood to the roots of the hair.
rIhe present invention, broadly considered, comprises an inner hat band that is formed with a series of elevations and depressions for the purpose of preventing a continuous pressure of the band on the head of the wearer, particularly at the side or temples where the blood vessels are located.
These projections and depressions are formed wedge-shaped; the depressions having narrow openings at theirbottoms and wider spaces or openings. at their tops, or upper ends. The band is designed to encircle the inner surface of the hat. The projections are formed with wide lower ends and narrower upper ends. In general, the improvement comprises a member or attachment to the ordinary inner hat band, which band overlaps the continuous strip having the elem vations and depressions, as will be fully described.
Referring to the drawings: Fig. l is a transverse sectional view cond sidered in a vertical plane passing through the hat showing the improvement applied to its inner surface.
Fig. 2 'is an enlarged detail sectional view showing a portion of the band and the hat.
Fig. 3 is a detail, developed view of a portion of the continuous strip which is formed with the wedge-shaped elevations and depressions and a portion of the usual hat band.
Fig. 4: is a portion of the strip and the usual l, sweat band assembled and illustrating the wavy condition of the band, when in use, and
Fig. 5 is a sectional view on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings in detail:
l is a strip of suitable material, as pliable leather, which is formed with the wedge- 1929. serial No. 344,713.
the stitches l2 are for securing the strip l to the lower inner edge of the body of the hat l2', adjacent the rim 12".
Referring to Fig. 4, the depressions 3 permit the sweat band 6 to bend slightly inward into these depressions when the hat is being worn, and elevations 2 are the portions that rest against the head of the wearer, as indicated in Fig. 4 at 13. This results in the portion 14 opposite the depression 3, not resting against the head, thus affording free cir culation for the blood.
It is understood that the improved hat or sweat band extends completely around the inner surface of the hat, which is indicated at l2. The band 6 is folded upward, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
From this description, it will be seen, I have provided an improvement in sweat or hat bands which are adapted to be attached to the usual hat construction, either felt or stra-w material, and one that does not inaterially obstruct or interfere with the free flow or circulation of the blood.
TWhat I claim is 1. In a hat, an interior hat band comprising a continuous strip of flexible material,
that is formed with spaced integral wedgeshaped elevations and depressions and having its lower edge thinner below the elevations, means for attaching the usual sweat band to the thin portion of said strip, below the lower edges of the elevations and on the outer side of the strip, whereby these spaced series of elevations, when the band is turned I upward, will provide bearing or contact 5 points of the said band with the head of the wearer and the spaces between the projections will afford a free circulation of the blood to the roots ot the hair, as described.
2. In a hat, an interior hat band comprisu ing a continuous strip of flexible material, that is formed with wedge-shaped elevations, which are small in width at their tops and increasing in width toward the bottoms, and corresponding wedge-shaped depressions, which are large in width at their tops and decreasingin width toward the bottom and said strip being located between the crown of the hat and the usual hat band and attached to the latter, whereby these wedge-l shaped spaced series of elevations will provide a series of progressively increasing un restricted areas between the band and the head of the wearer for providing free circulation of the blood to the roots of the hair, as described.
In testimony, I have subscribed my name this 20th of February, 1929.
RALPH H. RIDGEW'AY.
