Description: |
| Abstract:
The nature of my Inventions consist, first in ventilating the crown of the hat, thereby keeping the head cool, preserving the hair and general health of the wearer by hollow cones, and movable cushions, which is effected without danger of getting the head wetted in time , of rain. Second, adapting the same hat to heads of almost every size by a power of contracting ,and expanding the mouth of the crown which is gained by means of the hollow ventilators Third, in the elasticity and pliability of that part of the crown which rests upon the head fitting closely and easily thereto, and pressing equally upon all parts of the head alike, which is effected by the application of a spring band made of India-rubber, wire, or other elastic material, and, fourth, in attaching to the hat in front a metallic circulating card upon which to be engraved 30 the name, occupation, and residence of the owner, for the double purpose of enabling him facility to distinguish his hat from others ; and of enabling persons who may have business with him easily and readily 35 to recognize him.
Claim:
The two kinds of ventilators, by means of which there is a constant introduction of fresh air to the head while the hat is upon it. |
