HAT-HOLDER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 25, 1906.

Application filed September 28, 1905. Serial No. 280,518-

To LtZZ whom it nuty concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY E. FELDMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hat-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is a device for holding a ladys hat on a seat in a theater or the like, and includes means whereby the hat can be attached to the device with no danger of its falling off.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of the device, and Fig. 2 is a top View. Fig. 3 is a front View of a modification.

The holder comprises a tube 6, which stands in an upright position and has at its upper and lower ends projecting arms 7, which are hinged at 8 to cars 9 011 a plate 9, secured to the chair-back 10. The tube is of proper size to receive a hat-pin, as indicated at 11, which is inserted through the hat and then into the tube. The inner end of an arm 7 is squared and rests against a flat spring 12, seated between the ears 9 and held in place by bosses 18 on the plate at the ends of the spring.

IVhen in use, the holder is swung out and the hat placed over the same, and the hat-pin is then stuck down through the hat and the tube. When not in use, the holder can be swung in against the chair, so as not to obstruct the passage between the rows of chairs. Where it is impracticable or undesirable to hang the hat on the holder, the hat-pins at least may be held in the tube, and the holder also affords a convenient place for hanging gloves or other articles of apparel and will also act as a hook whereon a mans hat or a coat may be hung, if desired, a short extension of the tube above the upper arm 7 serving to hold the article or garment as a hook.

The modified form shown in Fig. 3 comprises a tube 20, having flanges 21 on each side, which are attached to the chair-back by screws 22. A hat may be fastened on the holder by sticking a hat-pin through the same and into the tube in a manner similar to that above described.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patient, is"

A hat-holder comprising a supp orting-plate adapted to be secured to the back of a chair, a horizontally-extending rigid arm pivoted thereto to swing laterally to and from the back of the chair, an upright tube fixed to the outer end. of the arm and adapted to receive a hat-pin, the upper end of the tube projecting above the arm, to form a coat-hook, and means between the arm and the plate to yieldingly hold the former swung out or in.

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

HARRY E. FELDMAN.
