HAT.4
SPECIFICATION farming part of Letters Patent No. 338,584, dated March 23, 1886,
Application tiled September 12, 1584. Serial No. 142,880. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANCIS H. CRAFTS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Williamsport, in the county of Lycoming and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hats, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a perspective view of a hat having my improvement applied to its crown. Fig. 2 is a sectional View through Fig. l, taken in the vertical plane of a row of perforations.
This invention relates to hats and caps; and my object is to improve such head-wear by perforating its crown and employing, in connection with the pert'orations, cords, ribbons, tapes, or strips of any suitable material or color interwoven with said perforations and exposed to View on the outside of the crown of the hat or cap, whereby I combine, in a neat and handsome manner, ornamental figures,with Ventilating-apertures disposed over a large surface of the crown, as will be fully understood from the following description, when taken in connection with the annexed drawings.
I have represented in the annexed drawings a round hat, which is of that kind usually made of stifened felted material that is practically air-proof. Such hats have been provided with a perforation ou each side of and sometimes through the center of the crown, for the purpose of ventilation; but the ventilation is exceedingly limited, and consequently persons wearing such hats frequently complain of headaches and loss of hair.
It is the object of my invention to remedy this evil by allowing perfectly free ventila tion, and at the same time to stiften the crown and neatly ornament it.
A designates the crown of a hat known in the trade as a Derby,7 and B is the rim thereof. E is a partition between the holes c a. These hats are usually made of a material which is impervious to air, and for the purpose of ventilation their crowns have been perforated, as above stated; but my invention is applicable to hats or caps made of any material or of any shape.
By reference to the drawings it will be seen that I make rows of perforations a through the external crown, A, and also through the lining C, and that I so dispose said perforatious that by employing a fancy cord, D, of less size than the perforations and interlacing this cord therewith I producean effect similar to embroidery or other ornamental work,
which is exposed to View ou the exterior surface of the hat.
In applying the cords, ribbons, embroidery, or strips of any suitable color or material, I pass them successively through the material of the crown, and also through the lining. I thus unite the lining to the crown, and at same time retain the perforations through the two fabrics coincident with each other, thereby insuring free ventilation.
In the drawings the perforations are disposed in two rows, running from front to rear of the upper part of the crown, and the cords D are interlaced to form diamonds or squares; but I do not confine my invention to such a disposition of the perforations and cords, as any other design may be produced and the same result obtained. For instance, rows of perfbrations may be made to encircle the sides of the crown of a Derby or other style of hat, and the cords interlaced therewith in any fanciful manner.
In practice the perforationsamay have eyelets applied to them, which may be made highly ornamental. I
This invention is equally applicable to ladies7 hats, and can be used to great advantage upon them.
T I am aware that hats have been made with a hole in the crown, with holes on opposite sides, and also ot open-work. Furthermore, I am aware that itis old to provide the bosom of a shirt with holes, and to lace the shirt up the front with a cord. I therefore disclaim the broad idea of lacing and the broad idea of perforatiug a hat; but
What I deem to be new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination of the hat A, provided with a series of perforations, a c, separated by a partition, E, extending nearly across the surface of the crown of the hat, with the cord IOC thesagging of the latter, and also keeping open the holes and facilitating the free circulation of air through the interior of the hat-crown, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my Vsi gnature in presence of two Witnesses.
FRAN CIS H. CRAFTS.
