UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK H. HOLDEN, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
MOSQUITO-NET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 312,471, dated February 17, 1885.
Application filed February 26, 1884. (No model.) I
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, F. H. HOLDEN, of Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain Improvements in Mosquito-Nets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a netting designed to encircle the head and envelop the person as a protection against winged insects.
The object of the invention is to provide a device which may be folded in an exceedingly compact form for transportation or storage when not in use. 7
To this end it consists, essentially, in combining with a band or frame adapted to encircle the neck a series of folding ribs which may be quickly united at their ends to the band, and a netting which may be readily applied over the frame when the latter is extended, said parts being constructed in the peculiar manner hereinafter described and claimed.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my device adjusted for use. Fig. 2 represents the series of ribs disconnected from the band. Fig. 3. represents a perspective view of the band. Fig. 4 is an enlarged view showing iii-perspective the fastening device used on the ends of the ribs. I In proceeding to construct the. device I first provide a series of light flexible ribs, A, which may be of any suitable material, although it is preferred to employ thin flat strips of steel having a covering of fibrous material woven thereon, the material commonly employed in the construction of hooped skirts answering an excellent purpose. The series of ribs, which are of uniform length, and ordinarily about twenty to twenty-four inches long, are united at the center by means of a pivot, a, this pivot serving -not only as a con; venient means of uniting them and preventing their separation, but also to confine them in their proper relative positions when not in use. Each rib is provided at its two extremities with slotted plates or equivalent devices d, adapted for engagement, as hereinafter explained, with fastening devices on the band or collar. Fig. 3 represents the band or col lar, made of metal or other suitable material, adapted to encircle the neck of the user, and provided at its extremities with a springclasp, 0, such as shown in the drawings, or with any other suitable fastening device by means of which it may be secured in place. On the outside of this band are secured a number of flattened studs, f, adapted to receive the plates b on the extremities of the ribs.
In adjusting the device for use the series of ribs are turned to divergent positions upon the pivot, so as to extend therefrom in different directions, after which their extremities are secured by the studs and plates to the band or collar, in the manner represented in Fig. 1, the result being a skeleton or balloon frame having approximately a spherical form. Over the frame thus produced I place a net of corresponding form, consisting of a suitable light fabric made in the form of a sack or bag, with a contracting-cord, commonly known as a drawing-string, at the inner or lower end. It is preferred to provide this sack with a skirtextending down below the cord, as represented; but the skirt is not a necessary feature. The frame having been extended and covered by the netting, the device is applied over the head and the ends of the collar united. Thus applied the device affords complete protection without ineommoding or encumber-ing the wearer.
It will be observed that the attachment of the angular ends of the ribs to the outer face of the collar has the effect of forcibly bowing or bending the ribs outward, so as to afford a large space to receive the head of the wearer, while permitting the bandto becontracted closely around the neck. It is to be noted as a peculiarity of my device that the arms or ribs are locked to the neckband by devices which prevent them from slipping laterally. This is a feature of great importance, since it. prevents the ribs from being displaced by accident.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The frame for a portable mosquito-net, consisting of a flexible neckband provided with the end clasp and the buttons, and the series of flexible ribs united by a central piv- 0t, and each provided at the ends with an anrem vahly locked to the neckband and pregular slotted foot. venting later-(ii motion thereof.
2. The portable mosquito-net consisting of FRANK H. HOLDEN the removable coverlngpr netting, the metal- 5 lie band to encircle the neck, provided with Witnesses:
an end clasp, and the flexible ribs united by J. L. MGADOW, acentral pivot and fastening devices, the ribs F. R. RIDDELL.
