Description
PATENT A. C. GRONDAL, OF NE'W YORK,N .Y.
lMPFOVEMENT IN CGPLK HATS.
Specification forming` part ofLcttcrs Patent Ned1? ,'M E dated November 8, 186 i.
To @ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be itknown that I, A. C. GRONDAL, ofthe city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Cork Hat; and I do hereby declare that the following' is a f'ull, clear, and eXcet description thereof', which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of' a corkhat constructed according to my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a modification ot' the same. Fin'. 3 is a tranvcrse vertical section of one of its sides on a larger scale than the previous figures.
Similar letters ef reference indicate like parts.
This invention consists of a cork hat made ot' two layers oi' cork, which are prepared with oil and packed or otherwise attached to an i11- tcrvening' piece ot' canvas, muslin, or other textile fabric in such a manner that a hat is produced which is durable, elastic, and impervious to water and to the rays of the sun.
By preparing the cork with oil all the hardness is removed from the same, and it is rendered soft, elastic, and impervious to water.
The cork is first cut up in slices of thc requisite thickness by means of' suitable machinery, and it is then prepared with oil. In order to effect this purpose, I mix animal oil with spirits of turpentine or other volatile hydrocarbon liquid, and, after the cork has been introduced in this mixture, I apply pressure, either by mechanical or by hydrostatic means, until the cork is thoroughly penetrated with the oil. It is then removed and left to dry, when it is ready, for use. By this preparation all hardness is removed from the cork, and it is rendered sof't and elastic. rIhe slices a of cork thus prepared I attach by suitable cement to an intervening piece, b, of muslin, canvas, on textile fabric, and thereby a material is obtained which can be worked into a hat oi' any desirable form or shape.
A hat produced according to this invention is impervious to water and to the suns rays; it is light and agreeable to wear, and, if desired, it can be covered with any desirable textile or other material.
It is obvious that the animal oil in this preparation does not evaporate.
I would remark that l use the same preparation f'or cork mattresses which was securt d to me by Letters Patent dated the 22d September, 1863.
I do not claim, broadly, the use of cork inthe manufacture of hats; but
I claim as new and desire to secure by Ietters Patent- A cork hat made of prepared cork, as herein shown and described.
A. COURLANDER GRONDAII.
