Abstract
The Hat Display Device comprises an adjustable spacer, and two shaped blocks. The spacer may include one or more apertures to permit attachment of the Hat Display Device to a support stand.
Description
- There are no applications related to this application.
- No invention claimed in this application was made under Federally sponsored research or development.
- This invention relates to hat related devices, specifically to those devices as comprise a mechanism to stretch, shape, or display a hat. Many devices to stretch hats are already known.
- The utility patents to Schellman (U.S. Pat. No. 389,014), Scharbaugh (U.S. Pat. No. 792,354), Kennefick (U.S. Pat. No. 667,019), Wolf (U.S. Pat. No. 724,227), Tanner (U.S. Pat. No. 442,211), Levering (U.S. Pat. No. 157,845), Schlesinger (U.S. Pat. No. 2,075,626), Vlasis (U.S. Pat. No. 2,434,184), and Vandewege (U.S. Pat. No. 4,673,113) are typical of a class of hat stretchers where a central adjustment block adjusts the position of the shaping blocks. These shaping blocks then hold the hat in place through outward tension. The present invention is directed to a stretching mechanism which can be used to display hats, and in which the shaping blocks have a lip to: 1) hold the hat in place, and 2) seat the hat properly. Further the central adjustment block is provided with an angled hole for placing the hat on a post or other suitable display rack.
- The Hat Display Device comprises an adjustable spacer, and two shaped blocks. The spacer may include one or more apertures to permit attachment of the Hat Display Device to a support stand. The adjustable spacer is attached by any suitable method to both of the shaped blocks so that the overall length of the adjustable spacer and shaped blocks is adjustable. The blocks are formed to approximate the inside of the head band of a hat. When the Hat Display Device is placed within a hat, expansion of the adjustable spacer forces the shaped blocks against the inner surface of the headband retains the hat in both position and shape.
- The shaped blocks may include a lip to increase the ability of the
Hat Display Device 1 to retain a hat. -
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the Hat Display Device. -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken through the aperture. -
FIG. 3 is the Hat Display Device in use. - The
Hat Display Device 1 comprises, anadjustable spacer 3, a firstshaped block 4 for placement in ahat 2 to be displayed, and a second shapedblock 5, said second shapedblock 5 attached to thesecond end 7 of saidadjustable spacer 3. Thespacer 3 may include one ormore apertures 6 to permit attachment of theHat Display Device 1 to a support stand 12. Theadjustable spacer 3 is attached by any suitable method to both the first 4 and secondshaped blocks 5 so that the overall length of theadjustable spacer 3 andshaped blocks first block 4 andsecond block 5 are each formed to approximate the inside of thehead band 8 of ahat 2 with the first block forming the front half of thehead band 8 of thehat 2 and the secondshaped block 5 formed to approximate therear half 9 of theheadband 8 of thehat 2. - When the
Hat Display Device 1 is placed within ahat 2, expansion of theadjustable spacer 3 forces the firstshaped block 4 and the second shapedblock 5 against theinner surface 10 of theheadband 8, retaining thehat 2 in both position and shape. - The First shaped
block 4, the secondshaped block 5, or bothshaped blocks lip 11 to increase the ability of theHat Display Device 1 to retain ahat 2.
