RE T*AlNING DEVICE FOR HATS.
PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 5o9,o92, dated November 21,1893.
Application filed May 21, 1892. Serial No. 433.930. (IlojmodelJ v To all whom it n'wy concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW B. OLSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the countyof Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and Improved Retaining Device for Hats Upon Hangers or` Hooks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, such as will enable others to make and use the same, reference being had to the acconpanying drawings, forming a part of this specification. s
The primary object of my invention is to key the hat upon the hat hook hanger and thereby prevent its accidental displacement, and it consists in-the novel Construction and combination of partssuch as will be hereinafter described and specifically pointed out .in the clains.
In the drawings:-Figure 1. is a View in perspective of a hat and coat hook, showing the key applied thereto and in dotted line a portion of the brin of a hat retained upon its hook. Fig. 2. is a side View of the hat and coat hook and key showing in section the strip or support to which the hook is secured and also the lug upon thelower end of the key inserted' within the strip, also showing in 'dotted line the hat in position to enter the key. Fig. 3. is a detail View of the key with the arms removed.
Similar letters of reference indicate correponding parts in all the figures.
Referring to'the drawings, A. represents a combined hat and coat hook in which a, represents the shank which extends outwardly the requisite distance and has the i outer end a bent upwardly a slight distance at an angle to the shank a, and forms the usual hat thook. The other end of the shank a, is screwthreaded as at a'. To the under side of the shank a', near the screw-threaded portion a', is attached rigidly one end ot' the hook & the other end of which hook extends forward in the direction of shank a, and is bent upwardly toward said shank forming the usual coat hook.
To the shank a, of the hat hook is attached the hat retaining device or key B. which is constructed as follows:--From suitable flexible material (preferably sheet brass) I make a narrow strip of considerable length. The
strip is then bent at a point between each end in a curved line as at a so as to form two forked portions or stems a a of unequal length the material being such as to retain the fiexed position of the stens and yield sufficie'ntly to accomplish the' results desi-red. Both edges of the stern & lwhich is made longer than the stern .a are inclined down- Wardly and inwardly meeting at a point, as at a A portion of the inclined edges above the point CLG, is bent outwardly'and upwardly nearly at right angles to the sten ai A short distauce above the bent portion ofthe stem and through said stem is made a perforation a slightly larger than the diameter of the screw a' on the hook A. The hook a', is then inserted through the perforation in the stern of and in this position the lower end of the stern (1 is bent outwardly and pwardly so as to form a loop a the lower portion of which loop terminates a short distance above the shank a, of the hook A. and is inclined nearly vertically With the outerand upwardly bent portion a of said shank.
To prevent the turning of the hat upon the hat hook I bend one end of a straight piece of wire C. of the proper length in upon itself and to a point equi-distant from both ends of said piece of wire, and thus form a loop or arm c. I then bend the other end of the said piece of wire inwardly upon itself and so as to meet the' end of the loop c, and thus form aloop or arm c'. The arms c, c', are then placed in the loop a so that each arm extends the same distance from the loop a and laterally to the key B, and the loop a is clamped upon said arms soas to retain them firmly in place. v
Iu a'ttaching the key to the ordinary hat and coat hook, as shown in Fig. 1, let D. represent the ordinary hook supporting strip placed in position upon the Wall or other convenient place. The stern a of the key B. is placed flatwise and in an upright position against the side of the strip D. and a slight puncture is made in said strip as at d, to admit the point a of said stern. The screw a', which is inserted through the perforation in the stern a is then turned or screwed into the strip or block D. which brings the upper end of the hook a connected with the shank a, against the inner side of the sten 0. and
IOO
forces the point a into the block D. and thereby prevents the upper portion of the key from moving sidewise and at the same time secures the key firnly-in place between the block and the shank ot' the hook.
In placing a hat upon the hat hook or hanger, the hat is held nearly in a horizontal position with the downwardly inclined portion of the back of the hat brim inserted between the shank a, of the hook and the lower end of the sten a ,of the keyB and the arms c, c', of said key and directly toward the inner side of the stern a?. The front portion of the hat brim is then loweredinto position and the back portion of the brim extends upwardly between the stems a a of the key, and the arm e is thrown ontwardly a slight distance and extends to and nearly in contact with one' side of the "hat brim, and the other arm a extends to and nearly in contact with the other side of the hat brim, and upon any side movement being given to throw the hat from off the hook it is resisted by the arms c, c'. In removing the hat the order is reversed and the back portion of the hat is raised first into a horizontal position before it can be withdrawn from the hat hanger or hook. When made to yield the stern a is drawn by the pressure of the hat and Without injury in inserting or removing the hat. In
this manner with a straight peg or hammer' for the hat the key may be placed in a closer position thereto. any ordinary wall hook. I may dispense with the arm c, c', and use simply the key stems in positions where straight visor caps are unifornly placed upon the hooks or hangers, or When the ordinary hat is retained by it, in which cases the key then resists an outward movement to displace the hat or cap from its position upon the hook or hanger.
The flexibility of the sten, a is of direct use in turning the hook while in the opera tion of securng the hook to the strip D. in which case the stem is drawn forward suffi- The key may be applied to v ciently to permit thetrotation of the coat hook between the stens. The key may be detached from the hook and Secured to the strip D. direct, if preferred.
Having full y described my invention, what I now claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. An attachment for hat hooks consisting of a U shaped strip, having depending stems of unequal length, the longer one ot' said stens being attached loosely to the inner end of the shani: of the hat hook and the other stern terminating a shortdistance above and within the line of the outer end of said shank said longer end of said strip having an eX- tended portion below the line of the shank of the hat hook bent rearward at an angle and provided with an engaging point substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. An attachment for hat hooks consisting of a U shaped strip having depending stems of unequal length, the longer one of said stems being attached in a Vertical position to the inner end of the shank of the hat hook and the other stern terminating a short distance above and within the line of the outer end of said shank and having laterally eXtended arms at the terminal of said stem for the purpose described.
3. An attachment for 'a hat hook eonsisting of a U shaped strip having depending stems of unequal length the longer one of said stens being attached in a vertical position to the inner end of the shank ot' the hat hook and the other sten adapted to yield and terminating a short distance above and within the line of the outer end of said shank and having a loop at the terminal of said stem and laterally extended arms clamped in said loop. as and for the purpose described.
