6 Claims.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in a hat pin and similar article.
More particularly, the invention proposes the construction of hat pins having heads of various shapes, each of which is covered with a cloth casing. It is proposed that these cloth casings be of various colors and designs.
More particularly, the invention proposes that the hat pin have a pin shank with the usual pointed end and blunt end, and that the head be constructed by a flat rigid member which is located adjacent the blunt end of the pin shank and secured thereto, and that said rigid flat member and blunt end of the pin shank be covered with a cloth casing which is engaged over these parts and sewed in position. t
It is proposed that the cloth casing be made from one piece of cloth suitably bent and sewed along its edges, or more than one piece of cloth sewed along their edges, as required.
The dominating feature of the new hat pin resides in its simple construction so that it may be cheaply manufactured. It is proposed that the flat rigid member be a piece of cardboard or other inexpensive rigid board. This board may easily be cut to a desired shape. It is proposed that the cloth casing comprise a sheet of felt or other fabric which may easily be sewed in position on the rigid member with a sewing machine, or hand stitches. It is pointed out that the stitches may or may not pass through the edges of the cardboard. It is important that the flat rigid member be of soft material so that if the needle of the sewing machine strikes it, the
needle may easily pass through it without damage.
At the present time there is a commercial hat pin on the market which consists of a pin shank having a glass pear shaped head on its blunt end which is enclosed within a cloth casing. However, the hat pin of this invention is superior to this commercial article in that it uses a flat rigid member, preferably cardboard, in lieu of the glass head. The difference in cost of these two items is quite material in large scale manufacture.
A further object of the new construction resides in the fact that the cloth casing in the present commercial product must be sewed on by hand because the pear shaped head does not permit sewing with a sewing machine. 'On the other hand, the fiat rigid cardboard member adapts the cloth casing to be sewed with a sewing machine. This latter feature further reduces the cost of the new hat pin.
struction of an article as described which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at a low cost.
For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the appended claims in which the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.
In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a hat pin, or simi lar article, constructed in accordance withthis invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary elevational view of the hat pin as it appears in Fig. l, but with the cloth Another object of the invention is the concasing removed.
Fig. 4 is a Vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the cloth casing in a developed condition.
Fig. 6 is a vertical sectional view of the head portion of the pin, showing the relationship of the cloth casing and the flat rigid member.
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a hat pin constructed in accordance with a modified form of this invention.
Fig. 8 is a sectional View of the head portion of the pin shown in Fig. '7.
The hat pin or similar article, in accordance with this invention, includes a pin shank I0 provided with a head I I. The shank II) has the usual pointed end I 2 and the blunt end I3. The head I I is constructed as follows: There is a flat rigid member I5, preferably of cardboard or other board which may be readily cut into a desired shape or form. This rigid member I5 is located adjacent the blunt end I3 of the pin shank I0. Means is provided for securing sai flat rigid member to said pin shank and comprises a metal staple I6 engaged across the blunt end portion of the pin shank and through the flat rigid member I5. The parts are so designed that when the staple I6 is engaged in position it slightly bends the blunt end portion of the pin, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 4, so as to better grip and secure the pin shank and rigid member together. Because of the bent portion it is quite difiicult to pull the pin shank out from the holding clip I6.
A cloth casing I1 is engaged over the said flat rigid member I5 and the said blunt end I3 of the pin shank I0. This casing is formed from a blank I'I', illustrated in Fig. 5. It is bent along its center, indicated by the dot and dash line [8. It is engaged across the top of the fiat rigid member l5 and then it is secured in position by stitches l9 along its side and bottom edges. These stitches may be performed on a zigzag sewing machine. It is advisable that the flat rigid member l5 be of relatively soft material, such as cardboard, so that if the sewing machine needle strikes it, it will merely pass through it without breaking the needle. If desired, the edges of the cloth casing I? may be sewed by hand. Experience has shown that the bottom of the cloth casing I"! may be sewed on the sewing machine even though the pin shank I passes in this region. The sewing machine needle will simply sew over the pin shank without. breaking. The needle will either sew on one side or the other, depending upon how it comes down upon the pin shank.
In Figs. 7 and 8 a modified form of the invention has been disclosed which is similar to the prior form, distinguishing merely in the shape of the pin head ll. This form of the invention is illustrated to show that the pin head may be of any desired design. In accordance with this invention the hat pin or similar article comprises the pin shank ii], a fiat rigid member 55, and a cloth casing Il'". The flat rigid member i is circular. The cloth casing i1" is of a corresponding shape. It is shown formed of one piece of material which is cut out to have a top connecting juncture 26. The casing ll is secured together along its sides and bottom by the stitches iii. A clip I6 is used to firmly secure the flat rigid member [5 on the blunt end l3 of the pin shank Ill.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications com ing within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
1. In a hat pin, and the like having a pin shank having a pointed end and a blunt end, a flat'rigid member located adjacent the blunt end of said pin shank and adapted to be a form for supporting a cloth casing, means for securing said flat rigid member to said pin shank, and a cloth casing engaged over said fiat rigid member and blunt'end portion of said pin shank and sup- 7 ported by said flat rigid member.

6. In a hat pin, and the like having a pin shank having a pointed end and a blunt end, a flat rigid member located adjacent the blunt end of said pin shank and adapted to be a form for supporting a cloth casing, means for securing said flat rigid member to said pin shank, and a cloth casing engaged over said fiat rigid member and blunt end portion of said pin shank and supported by said flat rigid member, said cloth casing being formed from sheet cloth having edge portions sewed together.
