HAT-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 749,948, dated January 19, 1904.

Application filed January 20,1902. Serial No. 90,509. (No model.)

sylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hat-Pins, of which improvement the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in hat-pins, and more particularly to hat-pins and hair-pins.

The present invention has for its object to provide a novel form of hat-pin that may be attached to the lower face of the rim of the hat, which will permit easy access thereto to place the pin in position in the hair to retain the hat. v

Another object of the invention is to provide a hat-pin that will not pierce through the hat and destroy the same; furthermore, to provide novel means to retain the hat-pin in proper position at all times and prevent same from becoming lost or disengaged from the hair.

My invention further aims to construct a device of this character that will be extremely simple in construction, strong, durable, and

comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinaftermore fully described.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved hat-pin. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the device secured to the rim of a hat. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the securing-plate carrying the keeper.

In the drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates a securing-plate, having formed therein openings 2, which openings are adapted to receive means for fastening the same to the under face of the rim of the hat. This fastening-plate 1 hasformed integral therewith the keeper 8, in which is secured the stud 4.

The reference-numeral 5 represents the hatpin, which is slidably secured in the keeper 3, said hat-pin being preferably constructed with three prongs 6 6 and a central prong 7, said central prong having formed therein a slot 8,

in which rides the stud 4. The said prongs have pointed ends 9. The prongs are connected together at their upper ends by the Fig. 2 of the drawings, and as it is placed in position the pin will assume the position as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 and illustrated in Fig. 1. It will be seen that by this arrangemerit it will be impossible for the hat to become disengaged from the head, and also that it will be impossible for the pin to become disengaged from the keeper.

The many advantages obtained by the use of my improved hat-pin will be readily apparent from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is

A hat-fastener comprising a securing-plate formed with a plurality of openings, an inverted-U -shaped keeper having its ends formed integral with said plate, and one of the edges thereof arranged flush with the front edge of the plate, and a pin formed with two side prongs engaging the side walls of said keeper, a stud arranged centrally of said keeper, and a prong arranged between said first-named prong and'being formed with an elongated slot through which the said stud projects, the head of said pin being flat and engaging the said securing-plate beneath said keeper and projecting beyond the rear edge thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

REINHART OMLOR.

In presence of p 7 JOHN GRoETzINsER, M. C. Ross.
