Description
Patented May 1, 1934 l U-.NrrfE-D isTATzEfs 4l A T EN T FF-'ICE .7 Claims.
Myinvention relates to bands insertable on the inner side ofthe parmanently attached band on the `inter-iorof I hats and caps, such last-named bands being attached to the hat body at the lower e'dge sothat theband being flexible and'free at its upperedge, permits the insertion of a lling band for the purpose of securing `a proper fit of the hat or capto the head of the wearer. It is highly desirableto secure the insertable band so that itwill not be displaced or fall out, and means vsatisfactorily-to-iix it in position should be such as not to impair its flexibility or be possibly`l hurtfulto thehat or cap or to the head of the wearer. and it is important that the filling band must be of some absorbent material so that it may absorb sweat or perspiration. An object of my invention is to provide an insertable band which will satisfy the conditions or requirements just set forth and which, above all, may be very inexpensively manufactured and readily applied to and attached to the hat.
My invention consists in whatever is described by or is included within the terms or scope of the appended claims.
In the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of an insertable band embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a vertical section of part of a hat with my filler band applied;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of my invention in the curved form or shape it occupies when applied to a hat.
The filler band 10, shown in the drawing, as an embodiment of my invention in the form and dimensions suitable for application to the hat, is a strip of a length of about six inches, so that it may extend only partially around the inside of the hat between the customary sweat band l1, and the hat body, as shown in Fig. 2, and about an inch in height with a thickness between a sixteenth and an eighth of an inch, Such strip is soft, readily bendable to assume the necessary curvature and of absorbent material so that it will readily absorb moisture. It may be of paper board with the characteristics of blotting paper.
Of course, the dimensions given are merely by way of illustration and are not limitations of the scope of my invention. For convenience of manufacture and handling, stock material can be delivered to the hat vendor in lengths as well as widths that permit cutting of individual lling bands of appropriate or convenient length and width for application to the hat with which they are to be used.
For xing or securing the filling band in place so that' it may not readily be displaced' from positionback'of the sweat band, I=apply to one or both sides thereof glue or some adhesivewhich being moistened at the time of'application, will stick totheadjacent contacting surface L'ofhatbody or sweat band. Preferably the glue'or'adhesive is'applied to the band, as shown in the vdrawingyin separated spots l2, `of'theiminimum area possible, these spots being spaced'saytwo inches apart lengthwise of the band. Itwillbe evident that neither softness, flexibility, vnor moisture absorbent qualities'of the'lling 'strip orban'd are aifected in any real or substantial extent, and there is nothing whatever present capable of injuring the head of the wearer, or
the hat.
Preferably, as shown in Fig. 1, the upper and lower edges of the filling band or strip are curved, the upper edge being convex and the lower concave, in order to assure the snug fitting of the stripA in place behind the sweat band. In particular, the concave curvature of the lower edge is desirable because throughout the length of the strip, it may have a bearing on the adjacent portion of the sweat band below, which will resist any tendency of the strip to rock vertically and thus tend to separate the glued contacting surfaces, so that such curvature is a factor contributing to the efficacy of the glue or adhesive as a fastening means.
Since the forehead which normally is not cov- 8 ered by hair as at the side, or back of the head where sweat or perspiration may be absorbed by the hair, the band may be of a form of greater capacity to absorb moisture at or in the region of the forehead of the hat wearer. This may be accomplished by having that portion of the band which is over the forehead of greater width than those portions which lie over the hair-covered portion of the head. The band in this case may have a tapering form from the wider portion to the end that reaches around the side of the head, such end being, if desired, made quite or fairly narrow. In such a case, the glue spots may most advantageously be applied to the wide portions of the band and at the narrow ends with which it might be inconvenient to use glue spots, small pins 13, (see Fig. 3) may be supplied attached to the band with free ends or barbs projecting that may be readily thrust by slight pressure into the adjacent portion of the hat and bent sufciently to afford a secure anchorage.
I contemplate, especially in the case of the curved band shown in Fig. 1 which has the tapering form just described, using only the pins alone as the attaching means as well as in some case using both the glue spots and the pins.
What I claim is:
l. As an article of manufacture, an insertable .filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable absorbent material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and having on its side an adhesive that will stick to the adjacent contacting surface.
2. As an article of manufacture, an insertable filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable absorbent material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and having on its side an adhesive that will stick to the adjacent contacting surface, said adhesive being in spots of comparatively small area spaced lengthwise of the band.
3. As an article of manufacture, an insertable lling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable absorbent material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and having on its side an adhesive that will stick to the adjacent contacting surface, said band having a bottom edge that is curved concavely.
4. As an article of manufacture, an insertable filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and of greater width at that portion which overlies the forehead of the wearer and provided with means for attaching the band to the adjacent contacting headwear surface.
5. As an article of manufacture, an insertable filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent te the sweat band and of greater width at that portion which overlies the forehead oi the wearer and provided with means for attaching the band to the adjacent contacting headwear surface, comprising a pin or pins at the narrow portion of the band.
6. As an article of manufacture, an insertable filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and of greater width at that portion which overlies the forehead of the wearer and provided with means for attaching the band to the adjacent contacting headwear surface, comprising a pin or pins at the narrow portion of the band, and an adhesive on the wider portion of the band.
7. As an article of manufacture, anV insertable filling band for headwear consisting wholly of a thin strip of soft, laterally bendable material adapted to lie between the sweat band and the headwear body adjacent to the sweat band and having a bottom edge that is curved concavely and provided with means for attachment to an overlying portion of the headwear body.
