HORACE J. NEWMAN, 0E FORT WAYNE, INDIANA.
HAT-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 484,812, dated October 25, 1892.
Application filed PehrnaryZQ, 1892- Serial No. 423,215. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HORACE J. NEWMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen, in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hat- Boxes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to devices for supporting hats in boxes; and it consists in the combination of a hat-box with means to secure the hat firmly to one side of the box, so that the hat shall not be moved from such support by jars or change of position incident to travel or careless handling, and is thereby prevented from being chafed or injured by contact with other parts of the box.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of a box with a ladys hat secured to the bottom, the hat partly broken away to show the attachments. Fig. 2 is a similar section with a gentlemans silk hat held in position. Fig. 3 is a detail showing construction of the attachments, and'Fig. 4 is a vertical section of a box with a hat placed on a frame-rest.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts.
My preferable construction is shown in the drawings and is as follows: A tape or string 5, preferably elastic, is provided with means for attachment to the hat. For this purpose I prefer to use the common spring-catch 6, as such device forms both a catch and a hook, either of which may be used as preferred. In Fig. 1 the catches 6 are attached to the inside lining of a ladys hat, in Fig. 2 to the front and rear of the rim of a gentlemans silk hat, and in Fig. at the hook parts of the catch 6 engage the side rim of a hat. The elasticity of the cord 5 preserves a tension which aids in holding the attachments in place and accommodates itself to the various sizes of hats. This is of great convenience, as the attachments of the cord to the hat are usually made outside of the box 8; but I do not confine myself to the particular method shown, as any means of securing the cord to opposite sides of the hat would answer the purpose. To this string 5 I attach a bindingstring 7 about the center thereof, and make a hole 12, preferably in the center of the bottom side ofthe box 8, for it to pass through. The purpose of this construction is to draw the hat down firmly to one side of the box with a tape or string 7, which when secured holds the hat firmly in such position.
I do not confine myself to the use of holes to confine the pull of the string 7 to the central part of the side of the box, as other means can be used with the same function, such as a small ring fastened in the same place through which the string may be operated.
Where the bottom of the hat requires it, it is placed on a frame-rest therefor, which is adapted in form to preserve its contour. The string 7 may, if preferred, be bifurcated on one end with the ends of the bifurcated parts attached to the hat, or two strings may be used, attached to the hat on either side, respectively, and passing out of the same or different holes in the side of the box 8, and secured firmly when the hat is drawn by them into place; but I believe the construction shown is preferable.
The string 7 after passing through the hole 12 in the bottom of the box is suitably secured so as to hold the hat firmly in place. I
A simple and economical method is shown in the drawings, and consists in making the holes 9, 10, and 11 in the side of the box 8 and passing the string 7 first through hole 9, then back throughhole10,thenthroughhole1l,thenback again through hole 9, drawing the string taut. All these holes are preferably eyeleted to preserve them intact.
The operation is obvious from the description. The ends of the string 5 are attached to the inside lining or to the rim of the hat at opposite sides. The string 7 is passed through the hole 12, so as to enable the operator to take hold of it from the outside. The hat is then carefully placed on the bottom or frame rest and the string 7 is drawn taut, bringing the hat firmly to the bottom, and then secured as described. The hat is changes in position, shaking, jarring, or care-- less handling of the box. Aslong as the'box itself remains intact, the hat is perfectly safe and in as good order as when first secured, although it may have traveled a thousand miles.
Having thus described myinvention, whatI claim as new, and desireto secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A hat-box provided with a central perforation in one side, a string or strings-passing through said perforation and removably attached to the rim or lining of the hat, a frame rest or support for ahat, placed on said side and having its surface adapted to conform to the contour of the hat, and means to secure said string or strings in place to hold a hat firmly against said frame-rest and said side of the box.
2., In a hat-box, the combination of a perforation in one of its sides, with a string or strings passing through said perforation-and provided with means of removable attachment to the rim or lining ofa hat, and means to secure said string or strings in place to hold a hat firmly against said side of the hatbox.
3. In ahat-box, the combination of astring or strings provided with means of attaching the same to the rim or lining of a hat, means to confine the pull of the string to a given place or places on one side of the hat-box, and means to secure said string 01'' strings in place to hold a hat firmly against saidside of the hat-box.
In testimony whereof I hereunto subscribe Witnesses:
