HAT
Filed Aug. 5, 1931 Patented May 16, 1933 PATENT; OFFICE SYLVIAN G. KIN'DALL, OF FORT MONMOUTH, NEW JERSEY HAT Application filed August 3, 1931. Serial No. 554,860.
This invention relates to apparel and more particularly to a hat intended for use during fair weather.
One object of the invention is to provide a hat so constructed that a persons hair will be exposed to air and sunshine thereby preventing the head from becoming overheated due to being enclosed within the crown of a hat and also permitting rays from the sun to strike the hair and scalp.
Another object of the invention is to provide a hat including a shield which may serve as a wind deflector and will normally remain in an upright position about the back and sides of a persons head but may be drawn forwardly and secured in covering relation to the top of a persons head and prevent the hair from getting wet if a person is caught out during a rain storm.
Another object of the invention is to providea hat which may be formed from a fiat blank properly folded thereby permitting the hat to be very easily washed and ironed if it becomes soiled.
Another object of the invention is to so form the hat that the lining which is secured against the front face of the shield may have its lower portion extended downwardly and form a mantle serving to protect the back of a personsneck and also the shoulders if so desired and thereby prevent the neck and shoulders from becoming blistered by the sun.
Another object of the invention is to form the hat with a head encircling band extending across the bottom of the shield and having extended end portions adapted to be secured in overlapping and telescoping en gagement with each other thereby permitting the band to accommodate itself to the circumference of a persons head and firmly hold the hat in place.
. The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation showing the improved hat in place upon a persons head; the position assumed by the shield when folded downwardly to cover the top of a persons head being indicated by dotted lines.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the improvedhat, this view showing the lining extending downwardly to form a neck protecting mantle.
Figure 3 is a view showing the hat in a flattened condition and the lining partially broken away.
Figure 4 is a sectional view taken vertically through the hat.
Figure 5 is a sectional view taken horizontally through the forward portion of the head encircling band along the line 55 of F igure 2,and
Figure 6 is a fragmentary view showing a portion of the shield and one end portion of the head encircling band. 7
The improved hat is preferably formed of fabric which may be water-proofed if so desired, but should be thin enough to permit it to be easily washed and ironed. The blank 7 1 is triangular in shape as shown in Figure 3 and has the upper portion of its front face covered by a lining 2 which may be formed of the same kind of fabric used for the blank 1 or may be of a different color or type of fabric.
The lining conforms to the shape of the upper portion of the blank which forms the shield when the blank is folded and in order to stiffen the shield and cause it to remain in an upright position when the hat is worn,' there is employed a stiflening sheet 4 which may be formed of cardboard or a stiff fabric. WVhile the sheet 4 must have sufiicient stift ness to normally retain the shield in an upright position when the hat is worn as shown in Figure 1 it must be sufliciently flexible to permit the shield to be drawn forwardly as indicated by dotted lines in this figure and serve to cover the top of the head and there- 9 by prevent a persons hair from becoming wet if a person is caught out during a rain storm. If so desired the lining 2 may be of greater depth as shown in Figure 2 and have its lower portion free from the blank 1 there- 9 often made sick by sun shining upon the back of the neck. This mantle may be of sufficient size to only shield the neck or it may be of sufficient size to cover both the neck and shoulders and prevent the shoulders from becoming blistered when wearing a bathing suit.
After the reinforcing sheet and the lining have been applied and secured by stitching passed through marginal portions of the lining, the lower portion of the blank 1 is folded upwardly upon itself along the dotted folding lines 6 thereby forming a band 7 which extends across the outer face of the base of the shield and has its end portions 7- projecting from opposite sides of the base. It should be noted that the lining 2 is not secured to the blank along its lower edge and therefore the stiffening sheet may be withdrawn when it is necessary to wash the hat and then replaced after the hat has been ironed. The band 7 is in the form of a flat tube which has open ends as shown at 8 in Figure 6 and the extreme end portions of theband form tongues 9. By this arrangement the end portions of the band may be disposed in overlapped relation to each other and the tongues 9 tucked into the open ends 8 of the band.
Therefore the extended ends of the band may not only be overlapped but disposed in telescoping relation to each other and the forward portion ofthe band which extends across a persons forehead when the hat is worn may be adjusted in order to cause the band to fit snugly about a persons head and retain the hat in place. After the telescoping ends of the band have been properly adjusted, a fastener 10 which may have an ornamental head and is provided with a pair of prongs 11 is passed through the overlapped tongues 9 and by spreading the prongs as shown in Figure 5, the overlapped ends of the band will be firmly secured in an adjusted position. In View of the fact that the prongs make very small openings when passed through the overlapped end portions of the band it may be removed and the band adjusted when necessarywithout the appearance of theband being marred as would be the case if the fastener required larger openings.
If a person is caught out during a rain storm, the upper end of the shield may be drawn forwardly and held in position to cover the top of a persons head by passing the prongs of the fastener 10 through the pointed end of the shield.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
