Description
Patented Jan. 9, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HAT STAY Alice May Olson and Obert Henry Olson, Madison, Wis.
Application June 7, 1948, Serial No. 31,574
4 Claims. (01. 132-62) This invention relates to a hatpstay for holding a hat on the head of the wearer and constitutes a continuation in part of application Serial No. 739,526 filed April 5, 1947, now Patent No. 2,517,228.
One object of the invention is toprovide a simplified hat stay or fastener for retaining a hat on the head of the wearer.
Another object is to provide a hat stay which will remain securely in place when fastened in the hair of the wearer to whom the hat is secured.
Another object is to provide a hat stay the parts of which are substantially concealed when in place.
Another object is to provide a. hat stay of less costly parts and which may be readily applied to and removed froma hat.
These and other objects of the invention will appear hereinafter in connection with the description of an embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevational view showing the parts of the hat stay;-
Fig. 2 is a sideelevational View of the fastener opposite from the side shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the hat stay in place within a hat;
Fig. 4 is a detail section showing the fastener engaged in the hair of the wearer;
I Fig. dis a section through the ears of the toothed clip taken on line 55 of Figure 1;
Fig. 6 is a front elevational view of the spring plate of the assembly; and
Fig. 7 is an enlarged section taken on line 'l-'l of Fig. 6.
The drawing shows a hat stay or fastener comprising a generally flat pin l for insertion through the crown of hat 2. The outer end of the pin is ground to receive a small bead or head 3 which is substantially permanently secured thereto and the inner end 4 of the pin is sharpened to a point for ready insertion of the pin through the crown of a hat without injury to the hat.
The spring plate 5 of generally rectangular shape is secured inside the crown of hat 2 to receive pin 1 when the latter is inserted through the hat crown. The spring plate 5 has holes on opposite ends for sewing or otherwise securing the plate *5 inside hat 2.
The generally rectangular shaped tongue or spring G is struck out centrally of the face of spring plate 5 and is integral therewith at one end with the other end free to move relative to 2 the plate. the plate side member centrally of spring 6. The center of spring 6 is grooved transversely complementary to groove 1 and the width and depth of the space provided by said grooves between spring G and the side members corresponds to the dimensions of the flat body of pin l for ready insertion of the pin between the spring and plate. When in place the inner end portion of spring 5 is confined between the side members of plate 5 and the spring 6 thereof.
Spring fi biases pin l against rotation when either side of the pin is in flat engagement with the plate side members in either of the two positions to which the pin may be rotated.
The remainder of the hat stay comprises a clip 8 formed of a series of curved spaced teeth 9 adapted to engage the hair of the wearer and which project outwardly from the longitudinal body section of clip 8.
The ears Ii! are struck out from each end of the body section'of clip 8 and a slot I l is provided at each corner of the clip between the ear and body thereof and extends into the body of clip 8 a slight distance. Theslots II are longitudina ly aligned with each other to receive the flat pin l. Slots H extend outwardly into each car it a distance slightly less than the thickness of pin i so that when pin I is slipped longitudinally through slots H the pin is sprung centrally away from the body of clip 8 to securely hold or bind the pin and clip 8 together. The binding of the pin and clip together is illustrated in Fig. 5 by the slight clearance between the pin and clip centrally of clip 8. Cip 8 engages pin l between the spring plate 5 and the portion of the crown of the hat through which pin l is inserted. The slots H are formed complementary to flat pin i so that the pin cannot be rotated without rotating clip 8.
When pin I is projected through clip 3, the pin cannot fall out of the hat or loosen up in service as it is securely held in place against removal from the hat by the biasing action thereon of ears H] of clip '8.
In assembling the hat stay, spring plate 5 is first secured inside the crown of hat 2. While holding the clip 8 inside the hat, pin l is then inserted through the crown of the hat, thence through slots ll of the clip 8 springing cars it slightly outwardly of the clip, and thence beneath spring 6 of the spring plate 5. Pin I can be inserted through clip 8 only to the shoulder formed where the flat body of the pin becomes round. This spaces clip 8 from head 3 of the pin.
A groove l extends transversely of Thereafter by grasping head 3 the wearer can rotate pin to rotate the clip 8 to engage her hair with the curved teeth 9 of the clip and secure hat 2 in place.
The free clip 8 holds pin l securely in place against removal except when it is withdrawn by the wearer. The construction of the spring plate permits ready insertion of pin l therethrough. The hat stay holds the hat in place when the clip is rotated into engagement with the hair of the wearer and is concealed except for the head 3 which is formed of a pearl head or other ornamental object. The stay is readily removable for use in other hats.
Various embodiments of the invention may be emp oyed within the scope of the accompanying claims.
