UNITED STATES PATENT OEETcE.

SIMON GOLDSTONE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

IMPROVEMENT IN CAPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 57,702, dated September 4, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SIMON GOLDSTONE, of Prussia, now residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented an Improvement in Caps, Snc.; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description ot' the sanie, reference being had to the accompaii yin g drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention consists in formingtwo series of eyelet-holes, one through the back of the cap, opening from the outside into the space c, between the body D and the band B, and the other opening from theiiiside of the cap through the band B into the same space, c.

On reference tothe accompanying drawings, which forin part of this specification, Figure l is a vienr of the exterior back and the interior front of the cap, showing the eyelets a La b b b, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section.

Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.

Through the body of the cap A a series of holes are formed opening into the space c. Between the body and the band B eyelets a a ai, &c., are fixed in said holes. Similarholes are formed through the band B, at the front ofthe cap inside, opening into the saine space c, and similarly fitted with eyelets b b b, Src. It will be readilyT seen that the air is caused by the eyelet-holes to circulate freely in and out over the head, keeping it cool and free from perspiration. At the same time the air circulating in the space c passes through the eyelets b b b, Sac., to the forehead, carrying off and diminishin g the perspiration caused by the band B bearing on the forehead.

Between the band and the body of the cap a lining of oil-silk is inserted, to prevent the perspiration from soaking'into and soiling the body. As the perspiration drips through the front eyelet-holes it settles on the oil-silk, from which it can be readily wiped.

IVhat I claim as iny invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A cap having a series of eyelet-holes through the back, opening from the exterior into the space contained between the body and the band, and series of eyelet-holes through the band, opening from the interior of the cap into the same space, and having an oil-sill; perspiration-shield, the whole arranged and operating with respect to each other substantially as is herein specified and described.

In testimony whereof I hereunto sign my naine to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

SIMON GOLDSTONE.
