CAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 776,261, dated November 29, 1904:.

Application filed May 13, 1904. Serial No. 207,801. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ENOOH S. ROGERS, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Caps, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a cap of the order of a tam-oshanter, which is provided with an attachment so constructed and arranged that while the general appearance of such cap is preserved it imparts to the same a pompadour or turban effect.

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a cap embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents a view of a detached portion thereof. Fig. 3 represents a section on line w m, Fig. 2. Fig. trepresents a side elevation of the cap. Fig. 5 represents a side elevation of the cap, on an enlarged scale, showing also the head of a wearer.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre: sponding parts in the figures.

Referring to the drawings, A designates a cap of the order of a tam-o-shanter, which, excepting the feature of my invention applied thereto, is of usual form.

B designates a flap which is superimposed on the front portion of the top of the cap and secured at its rear end to said top, approximating the center thereof, by sewing or stitches, in the transverse line (I of the cap, as most plainly shown in Fig. 1, which line, owing to the fiuffy nature of the flap and of the cap, disappears or is scarcely perceptible. It will be seen that the flap extends forward from the center or about the center of the top of the cap to the front thereof and gradually increasing in height, thus imparting an upward slope to the top of the cap, elevating the latter and imparting to the same a pompadour or turban effect, while in other respects conforming or approximately conforming to the general contour of a cap of the class.

In practice the flap is made of apiece of material similar to that of the cap, the same being folded or doubled on itself and connected along its meeting edges and then located in the top of the cap and secured thereto, the effect of which when the cap is worn being most apparent in Fig. 5, the tam-o-shanter style being in the main preserved.

Various changes may be made in the details of construction shown without departing from the general spirit of my invention, and I do not, therefore, desire to be limited in each case to the same.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a cap of the character stated, a flap comprising a piece of cap material doubled on itself and secured together and occupying the forward portion of the top of the cap, the doubled piece sloping upwardly from the place of connection with the cap to the front thereof and conforming or approximately conforming to the contour of the portion of the top which it occupies.

2. In a cap of the character stated, a flap comprising a piece of cap material occupying the forward portion of the top of the cap, sloping upwardly from the place of connection with the cap to the front thereof and conforming or approximately conforming to the exterior contour of the said portion which it occupies.
