CURTIS F. HOAG, OF KINDERHOOK, NEW YORK.
KNIT CAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,440, dated December 6, 1881.
Application tiled November 4, 1881.
T0 all whom it may concern Beit known that I, CURTIS F. HOAG, a citizenof the United States, residing at Kinderhook, in the county of Columbia and State ot' New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Knit Caps, of which the following is a speciication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to knit caps; and it consists, mainly, in knitting the cap in selvaged sections, whereby a knitted cap can be formed by machinery that has a perfect shape, which it will retain after exposure.
In the drawings, Figure l shows a perspective view ot' a cap made according to my improvement, and Fig. 2 a plan view of one ofthe pieces detached.
Heretot'ore knitted capshave been formed by the tedious process of hand-knitting, or they have been knit bymachine in a cylindrical form and then steamed and shrunk down into the desired shape. Thetbrmermmleis veryexpensive, and the latteris objectionable because such caps do not retain their shape when subjected to a thorough soaking. rIo avoid this difficulty I preferably make my cap in sections ofthe shape shown in Fig. 2, or substantially so-that is to say, with parallel sides from a to l) and tapering from b toward the end. These sections are formed on a knitting-machine, so arranged as to knit sections with the part from a to b straight, and then to narrow toward the end, thus forming a selvage along the sides and tapering end. The narrowing7 may be done in any suitable way; but I prefer the mode of arranging the stitches shown in the drawings, because when so made it produces a pattern on the topot' the cap, as shown in Fig. 1, that relieves the monotony of a plain knitted surface.
In making these caps I take three, four, ve, or any desirable number ot' these sections and unite them in any convenient manner along their parallel and tapering edges, thus forming the bo'dy ot' a cap with a dat top. To this capI prefer to add a band, c, which is usually knitted lengthwise, but may be knitted on a circular machine of the proper size to suit the cap, which band is attached to the bottom of the cap in any convenient manner.
(No model.)
Instead ot' knitting the sections with perfectly parallel sides from c to b, as in the drawings, I sometimes increase the width near b, whereby a capis formed having a protuberan ce all around the top.
Instead of narrowing one end to a point, I may terminate the sections at aline some distance from the point, thus leaving an aperture in the center ofthe top ofthe cap that can be tlled in by inserting a square piece; or one of such sections may have said square piece form ed on its end, so that when said section is united with three other sections without points a per.
feet top may be-made.
By this method of making a'cap with its top knitted by machinery in selvaged tapering sections a strong and durable cap is formed at a very small expense that will retain its shape with the roughest usage.
In addition to making such caps complete for use I propose to make such knitted selvaged sections and dispose ot' them to cap-makers and others, who will make up and trim such caps to suit themselves or their customers`7 tastes.
I do not claim to be the rst to manufacture caps in sections7 as I am aware that wovencloth vcaps have been made in this waygbut such sections were without selvages.
Vhat I claim as new isl. As a new article ofmanufacture and trade, a knitted-cap section having selvages along its sides and tapering top, substantially as described.
2. As anew article ot'manufacture, a knitted cap having its top formed otl selvaged tapering pieces, substantially as described.
3. A cap-body formed of sections, each section having substantially parallel sides and a tapering end, with selvages formed on said sides and end, substantially as described.
Inte'stimony whereof' I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CURTIS F. HOAG.
