Description
April 28, 1964 A. FElNMAN HAT HOLDERS Filed NOV. 15, 1961 FIG. 3
INVEINTOR.
United States Patent 3,130,835 HAT HOLDERS Alan L. Feinman, 186 Reach 149th St, Neponsit, N.Y. Filed Nov. 15, 1961, Ser. No. 152,451 1 Claim. (Cl. 21132) The object of the present invention is to provide a holder for hats, particularly mens hats, which may be easily applied to an appropriate surface, such for example as a closet door, and which will be simple and inexpensive in form.
The invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view in elevation showing the hat holder, at the front thereof, in position for holding a hat, dotted lines indicating a hat thereon.
FIG. 2 is a bottom plan view of the assembly shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a vertical section on the line 33, FIG. 1, and showing the holder applied to a vertical surface.
FIG. 4 is a detail view partly broken away showing a suitable form of adjusting screw and washer-abutment.
Referring to the drawings, the element 1 is a flexible metal strip having a plurality of integral lips 2 which are bent at right angles and apertured to receive screws. At 3 is a central integral lip which also is apertured to receive the bent end of a rod 4 which is slidingly received in an aperture formed in bar-connector 5. A set screw 6 threaded in bar is adapted to bear upon rod 4.
Each end of connector bar 5 is formed with a threaded aperture to receive the threaded end of a screw 7. Screw 7 is formed with a head 8, and inwardly of flexible metal strip 1 a washer 9, which may be flexible, may be snapped into an annular groove 10 of each screw after the latter has been threaded into connector bar 5. Any other suitable link connecting between the connector bar and the flexible strip may be used.
When flexible strip 1 is to be contracted for a smaller size of hat cavity set screw 6 shall be reversely turned to release rod 4 and the rod is moved upwardly, after which said screw will be tightened, and the same release of rod 4 will take place when the hat holder is to be expanded by movement of the rod downwardly.
For frictional engagement with the usual sweat-band of a mans hat or the fabric lining of a womans hat, it is preferred that the exterior face of the metal strip 1 be "ice covered with a soft and flexible material. This material may be of synthetic foam as for example polyether, the latter enabling bonding to the metal strip by cement. Felt or any other equivalent material may be substituted, as indicated at 1. At 14 the cover material is cut away.
For the material of the flexible metallic strip aluminum sheet is desirable since it readily adapts itself to formation by a single die stroke preparatory to manual bending the integral lips 2. Light sheet steel may be substituted. Also it has been found that the flexible strip can be made of plastic in completed form by injection molding.
The characteristic of the invention is simplicity in both construction and adjustment since the parts are standard in form, of low cost, assembly is simple and inexpensive, adjustment is easy, and a single size of bat holder is readily adapted for all sizes of hats.
It will be understood that various modifications may be made in the form and arrangement of the elements constituting the embodiment illustrated in the drawing without departing from the spirit of the invention.
Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
A hat holder comprising a flexible strip in arcuate form, apertured lips carried by the strip and adapting the same for attaching the strip to a holding surface, an internally threaded bar disposed within the arcuate strip centrally thereof, a rod attached to the strip interiorly thereof and at its longiudinal center, an aperture in the internally threaded bar into which the rod is passed, a set screw carried by the bar and adapted to engage the rod, two threaded screw members, each passed through one end of the strip and threaded into said bar, and a head on each screw exteriorly of each strip and adapted as a thumb piece for turning the screw for adjustment of the strip relatively to the bar upon release of the rod by said screw.
