MINERS LAMP.
application. ined .april io,
To all whom t may concern.:
Be it lrnown that l, `lnncrAr-r lll. Zrcnnrn, a` citizen of the United States, residing` at Mullen7 in Shoshone County and State ot Idaho, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Miners Lamps, oit' which the following is ay specification.
My present invention relates to improif'ements in miners lamps, of that type which is supported on the hat worn by the miner. In many instances a hat with a. brim is prei ferred by the miner, rather than a cap without a brim, because of the fact that the brim of the hat forms a shield to prevent dropping water or small particles oli material from falling down within the clothing at the neck of the wearer. N ith this condition in view the invention is particularly adapted for use with hats havingbrims although the lamp of the invention is applicable for use when the miner is wearing a. cap. i
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a support for the lamp that is readily adjustable to the size of the hat of the wearerywhich will insure a head gear for the lamp that may be firmly seated on the hat, and which will permit removal and replacement of the head-gear after, its initial adjust-ment, without necessity tor re adjustment or change, thus facilitating `greatly the use of the lamp.
`With these objects in view the invent-ion consists in certain novel combinations and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter more particularly set forth and claimed.
ln the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example of lthe physical embodiment of my invention wherein the parts are combined and arranged according to the best mode l have thus far devised for the practical applica tion of the principles of my invention.
Figure l is a view in side elevation of a hat equipped with the lamp and head gear, according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view ot thc head gear tor suppmting the lahip in order that the invention may readilj,T be understood l have indicated a hat of the usual felt type as H and provided wit-h a, brim B in Figure l. The complete headgear or support, as seen in Figure E2 is built` upon the rectangular shield or pad l which may be of sti material that is durable and may also be somewhat resilient :tor adapting it to the curvature ot the head and hat 1922. Serial No. 551,324.
ot "he wearer. ln connection with the pad annular band is used which constitutes ections 2 and 3 made of flexible material as leather 'duckq and these sections are joined at the rear' by a, buckle al. of usual type. shown the band is adapted to be passed around the band portion ot the hat just above the brim and the sections joined at the rear by the buckle. Each ot 'the sections 2 and 3 is provided with an elastic portion as 5, 5, situated nearer the front ol" the band with relation to the rear buckle 4. The annular band, or its two sections 2 and 3. is secured at the lower end of the pad, as by rivets 6, and passes across the front tace of 'the pad as indicated. In applying the head gear to the wearer, it will be apparent that the sectional band is passed around the hat while in position on the head, and the buclrle l connected to insure a firm support o1 the band on the hat and head, with the elastic portions or inserts 5 under tension. Thus these elastic portions hold the band in close rictional Contact with the hat. lllhen the head gear is removed the elastic portions are slightly expanded to permit removal, then, when the head gear is then applied it is slipped over the crown ot the hat and properly positioned. The buckle 4: after having rst been adapted to proper relation is not again disturbed, as the elastic portions 5 permit ready removal and equally facile replacement of the head gear.
The vertically disposed pad or shield l is braced by means o a crown-band which comprises a fixed stra-p 7 extending across the top tace of the pad and secured thereto hy rivets S, and the free ends of this lined strap are connected to side straps 9 and 10 by buckles 1l and l2. At 13 the rear ends of the side straps are secured to the sectional band, and this latter band and the crown baud thus form an openable head `gear, the openable joint being provided hylthe use ot the buckle 4: at the rear.
Ry means ot the buckles ll. and l2 the Icrown band may be adjusted to the proper o1' required tension for holding the pad in eitl'ier vertical position, or in a slightly inclined position to accommodate the lamp 14.
The lamp used may be of approved type as elect-ric, or carbide gas lamp, and is attached at its lower end within the spring arms l5 that torm a clip and are secured at the front of the pad near its lower edge.
lAt its upper edge the pad is fashioned with a centrally located socket as 16 formed between the fixed strap 7 and the face of the pad. A'Ihis socket is adapted to receive the supporting hook 17 at the top and rear of the lamp. In Figure l it Will be seen that the lamp is retained in position by the hooked connection at the top and the spring retaining clip or clamp at the bottom, and the lamp is further supported by resting on the brim B of the hat.
From the above description taken in con neotion with my drawings-it Will be apparent that I have devised the head-gear for a miners lamp which fulfills the requirements and purposes heretofore set forth.
Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is The combination with a pad of aband having elastic portions therein and a rear detachable fastening device for the free ends of the band, a crown band comprisinga strap fixed on the pad and formed With a socket, side straps attached to the first mentioned band, detachable fastening devices connecting the ends of the fixed strap andthe free endsy of thevside straps, and a clamp fixed to said pad having resilient retaining arms.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
