' HAT-BOX.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 522,392, dated July 3, 1894. Application n'led October 3, 1893- Serial No. 437,090. (No'model.)
To nl l whom, t may concern.
Be 1t known that I, J ULIUs WEBER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Readingl My invention relates to hat boxes such as are commonly made of paste board or equivalent material and in which the hat is placed for the purpose of keeping it in proper shape and condition. Such boxes are generally made of a shape and size corresponding approximately with the brim of the hat andare provided with an inner cylindrical ring, as shown at B inl Fig. l of the accompanying drawings. Upon the upper edge of this ring the brim ofthe hat rests while the body or crown passes down within it. These rings have been formed separately of similar material to the box and are intended to be secured centrally to the bottom of the same so as to firmly hold the hat and prevent distor-.
tion or wear from handling. This fixing of the ring, by pasting or otherwise, in central position in the box has required more time and care than is warranted, and they are in consequence frequently out of center sufficiently to bring a portion of the rim of the hat in contact with the wall of the box and thus are apt to fail of their purpose to properly protect the hat fromdistortion or damage. My objects are to overcome this trouble by making the central location of the" ring easy and certain and at the same time to reduce the labor and expense heretofore required in making the box.
Figure I of the drawings isasectional view of the prior construction referred to. Fig. 2 is a plan view of a box embodying my improvement. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of Fig. 2 on line Y Y, and Fig. 4 is a similar section on line X X ofthe same figure. Fig. 5 shows the blank from which the inner supporting ring is formed.
The box VA is of the usual construction, having a bottom a of elliptical shape and a `ring is equal to the inner circumference of the box plus the lap bby means of which the ends are fastened together to form the ring, and the length of the inner curve c forming the upper edge of the ring is somewhat greater 6o than the circumference of the crown or body of the hat intended to be placed in the box. The ends of the ring are preferably made somewhathigher than the sides as shown at v c so as to correspond with the longitudinal' 65 curve of the hat brim.
The ring B when formed up is merely pushed down into the box A until the base d rests upon the bottom a. and is firmly retained in central position by its contact all 7o around with the wall of the box. No paste or othermeans for fastening it is required and the opening for the crown of the hat is certain tol be central without the exercise .of any care whatever.
By my improvement I am thus'enabled vto produce a box superior both in appearance and correctness of form, and at the same time cheaper in cost.
