I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 426,721, dated April 29, 1890.
Application filed December 31, 1889. $eria1 No. 335,494. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, DRUSILLIA MARION FULLER, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Device for Holding Mens Head Gear, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to an improvement in devices for holding head-gear, especially gentlemens high hats, and has for its object to provide a means whereby the hat may be firmly held and supported without danger of crushcle is placed in a trunk or box and exposed to the dangers of transportationor placed in a show-window or upon a counter for exhibition,
A further object of the invention is to provide a device simple and durable in construction, and which may be expeditiously and conveniently applied to any receptacle, and also one which is capable of adaptation to various positions and adjustment to hats of dilferent sizes. r
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure l is a perspective view of the device secured in a compartment, illustrating ahat in position thereon, drawn in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation and vertical section of a slightly-modified form of the de vice. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of' another modified form, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of another modification.
The body of the device consists of a pedestal A, which pedestal usually consists of a shank 10, preferably circular in crosssection and enlarged at the base, and a cap 11, attached to the upper end of the pedestal,which cap is preferably constructed in the form of a disk and covered with any soft material, such as velvet, felt, or the like.
In the enlarged or lower end of the shank 10 of the pedestal a pin or bolt 12 is intro- 1ng or injuring the same, whether such artiduced and securely fastened, which pin or bolt projects some distance beyond the shank, and is preferably adapted to receive a nut 13 and washer 14.
In the form of device illustrated in Fig. 1 a piece of spring-wire 15 is passed through the shank 10 of the pedestal at or near the under side of the cap 11 thereof, and the said wire is bent downward and outward in opposite directions to form substantially the let ter A,'the extremities of the wire being bent upward and slightly inward upon themselves in the direction of the pedestal. Upon the extremities of the spring-arms thus formed by bending the wire 15 an elongated pad 16 is attached, which pad may be formed by con-- tinuing the bend of the wire, after being carried upward laterally in opposite directions, to an essentially diamond shape and covering the said wire with plush, velvet, or like material; but the said pad may be made in dependent of the spring-arms and attached thereto. made to enter into the construction of the body. The formation of the letter A of the spring-arms is completed by coiling a second piece of wire 17 loosely around the shank of the pedestal and attaching the extremities of the said wire 17 in any suitable or approved manner to the downwardly-extending members of the spring 15.
In the form of device illustrated in Fig. 2 the spring-arm consists of a piece of wire passed through the shank of the pedestal near its lower end, the extremities of which wire are bent upward and inward in the direction of the pedestal, as shown at 18, forming hook-' like ends to the wire, to which ends the pads 16 are attached.
The construction shown in Fig. 3 is substantially the same as that illustrated in Fig. 2, the difference consisting only in the fact that the spring-arms are provided at their center with a nut 19, and the shank 10 of the pedestal is threaded to receive said nut, whereby the spring-arms will be adjusted vertically upon the pedestal to accommodate a high hat, a derby, or a hat of any desired height.
The construction shown in Fig. 4 difiers from that illustrated in Fig. 3 only in that a In any event spring material iscollar 20 is substituted for the nut 19, which collar is provided with a set-screw, and the shank of the pedestal is smooth,the arms bein gheld at any desired height upon the pedestal by the contact of the set-screw with the shank of the pedestal.
In operation the hat is placed upon the pedestal in such manner that the disk thereof will contact with the inner face of the crown of the hat at its top, and the spring-arms are so adjusted that the curved portions 18 thereof will project upward from beneath and over the brim at the curled portion thereof, the pads 16 engaging with said brim at that point.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. The improved holder for mens hats, consisting of the pedestal 1O 11 and oppositelyarranged spring-arms attached to said pedestal and extending laterally from its lower portion, their ends being curved upward and inward to receive a hat-brim, and having the pads 16 attached forpressingdownward upon said brim, as shown and described.
2. In a holder for mens hats, the combina tion, with the pedestal 1O 11, of the lateral spring-arms having pads attached to their upwardly and inwardly curved ends, said arms being adjustable vertically on said. pedestal, as shown and described, for the purpose specified.
