; 2 Claims.
The present invention relates to sweatbands for hats and the principal object of the invention is the provision of a sweatband which would permit passage of air therethrough' into the hat.
It is a known fact that hats pressing upon the head blood vessels retard or prevent circulation of blood, and-therefore afurther object of the present invention is the provision of a hatband which would reduce the pressure upon the wearers-head, and this object is "accomplished by providing the hatband with a plurality of raised or embossed protuberances or ridges which would contact with the wearers head and thus obviate the sweatband by its entire area from contactthereby serve as ventilating means for the hat.
Withthe above general objects in View and others that will appear'as theinvention'is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing forming a part of this appli-- cation, and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary, enlarged perspective view of a sweatband;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view through the hat showing the sweatband in an'operative position therewith;
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on a horizontal plane through the hat crown showing the position of the sweatband with respect to a wearers head, the View havingbeen taken substantially on line 3--3 of. Fig. 2; and h Fig. 4 is an enlarged, transverse cross-sectional view through the sweatband, the View having been taken substantially on line 44 of Fig. 2.
Referring in detail tothe present drawing there is shown therein a sweatband generally indicated by ID which is adapted for positioning within crown II of the hat and to which the same may be attached by stitches or by any other conventional means. The rim of the hat is indicated by [2.
The sweatband has embossedpor otherwise impressed thereon, throughout its entirelength and width, a plurality of uniformly arranged and spaced pyramidal protuberanc'es l3, each having an apex l4. As is clearly seen in'Fig. 1, said pyramidal protuberances I3 may have square bases, and are uniformly arranged longitudinally as well as transversely of the sweatband. A pair of adjacent rows of said pyramidal protuberances I3, both transversely and longitudinally 'of the sweatband define. a longitudinal recess 15, the bottom of which is disposed adjacent the bases of said pyramidal protuberances l3 and defined by the sides thereof. 7
In the operative'position of the hat and of the sweatband upon wearers head, the latter being indicated, by Hi, the transverse rows of recesses i5 will remain in a vertical position with relation to the wearers head, as is seen in Figs. 2 and 3, and will constitute vertical passages which will be defined by the adjacent sides of said pyramidal protuberances I3 and wearers'head 13, for permitting free and unimpeded passage of air from the outside into the hat crown II or vice versa. Thus, these transverse recesses 15 will afford an exchange or circulation of air into or from the hat crown, and will thus add to the sanitary qualities of the hat. In addition they will render the hat more comfortable by providing ventilation and reducing perspiration.
The apices [4 of said pyramidal protuberances 13, which may be blunt and of small area, and disposed and-pointing outwardly therefrom, will contact with the wearers scalp, when the hat is in an operative position upon the head as seen in Fig. 3, thereby reducing considerably the contacting area of the sweatband with the wearers head, because only said apices M will remain in contact with a wearers head, thereby correspondingly reducing the pressure of the sweatband which normally would be exerted thereby upon the blood vessels of thescalp, and without detracting in any manner from the degree of contact between the sweatband with the scalp in order to maintain the hat upon the wearers head. 45
From the construction of a sweatband hereinabove described it will be seen that two main advantages of a sweatband herein described, are, first, provision of ventilating means fora hat, and second, reduction or almost practical elimination of a pressure which normally a conventional sweatband would exert upon a scalp.
Although I have shown herein a preferredform of a sweatband, it is not my'desire to limit myself 55 to the particular construction of a sweatband herein shown and described for accomplishing the above enumerated objects, as obviously pro-- tuberances of various shaps may be made in a sweatband not necessarily of pyramidal shape. Neither do I wish to limit myself to the uniform arrangement of the protuberances. Any shape or arrangement of protuberances in a sweatband will answer the purpose as long as said protuberances define contact areas of small dimensions for contacting with the scalp and define recesses, whether uniform or otherwise, which would permit unimpeded passage of air therethrough.
To accomplish the desired result, broadly, said protuberances may be in the shape of corrugations, uniform or irregular projections imparting to the surface of the sweatband a rough or coarse finish or embossed ridges of any shape. In order to impart to the sweatband the protuberances and co-operating or resulting recesses therebetween,either of the character shown in the drawing or herein mentioned, the hatband may be passed through a suitable die, which would impress or emboss said protuberances and recesses quite permanently when made on stiff material such as imitation leather or the like.
While there is described herein a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understoodthat minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What I claim as-new is:
1. A hatband comprising a single elongated strip embossed to form hollow prismatic headengaging projections substantially throughout its entire area, said projections being of substantially pyramidal form and depressed from the outer to the inner face of the strip to provide spaced point contacts of the projections at their apices with the head, and further being arranged in straight rows transversely of the strip to afford passages therebetween for the circulation of air into and from the interior of the hat between the band and the head.
2. A hatband comprising a single elongated strip of stiff material embossed to form hollow prismatic head-engaging projections substantially throughout its entire area, said projections being of substantially pyramidal form and depressed y from the outer to the inner face of the strip with their bases adjoining to provide spaced point contacts of the projections at their apices with the head, and further being arranged in straight rows transversely and longitudinally of the strip to afford passages therebetween for the circulation of air around the band and into and from the interior of the hat between the band anld the head. i
