Description
July 12, 1949. H. LIBSHUTZ 2,475,794
CAP FRAME Filed April 10, 1945 27 j$ S ,/25 I 3mm 24 Z 2a IHHIQEY Z/BSHUTZ.
Patented July 12, 1949 UNITED STATES 2 Claims.
This invention relates to personal headwear and more particularly to uniform caps of a general military type; and the construction that makes up its lower side Wall, and headband.
It has been customary to make the structure of the lower side wall of a uniform cap of fabric of proper thickness to give it body, surmounted on its external surface With a wide braid, and on its internal surface (inside the cap), with a thin band of leather termed the sweat band. One of the disadvantages of this construction is that the perspiration from the users head soaks through the sweat band and injures the fabric in its vicinity, in addition to the frame being rigid and heavy.
It is an object of this invention to provide a new and improved lower cap structure, that will avoid one or more of the disadvantages and limitations of the prior art.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved uniform cap that will be a more comfortable and suitable type of cap of this nature.
A further object is to provide a uniform cap of lighter construction, that will readily adjust itself to shape of the head of the wearer.
Other objects will become apparent as the invention is more fully set forth.
In a particular form of this invention shown in the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a complete uniform cap embodying this invention,
Figure 2 is 'a side elevation of the cap frame, and
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view taken along lines 3-3 of Figure 2.
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the drawings.
In the construction shown II is a uniform cap structure, of general conventional form, with a top l2, peak I3, side-wall cover I4, and braid I5. The lower band I 6, as it is herein termed consists of a water proof leatherette lining I7, that fits inside the cover I 4, at the bottom rim portion I 8. This lining ring I! overlaps and bends down along its top edge portion It to encompass a laminated hair-cloth ring 20, fitting inside the lining ring IT. A flat ring 2! of waterproof material serves to cover the inner face 22 of hair-cloth ring 20, and is held in at its top edge by the bent over portion l9, to complete the inclosure of the ring 20. A thin so-called sweat band 23 for contacting the head of the user, provides a comfortable contact surface on the skin of the user. .An under ledge member 24 of the same material as the cloth of the cap, is formed into a ring that has an outward extending rim 25 as indicated, intended for supporting the wall cover It and stiff ening this edge. Pad rings 26 are inserted in between the end 29 and leatherette lining IT, as an extra stiffening feature, and give the ring 26 a wedge-like elfect on the bottom edge portion of the cover [4 and a similar ring 26 is also located between the top edge l9 and hair-cloth 2|]. As indicated in the Figure 3, the ledge member 24, extends relatively high up as at 29 on the external surface of the lining I1, while the inner surface 21 is bent upward to inclose the edge of the oilskin lining ring 2|, under the sweat band. The edge 25 is sewed at 28 transversely to make it stiff and strong.
This construciton is more economical to produce in manufacture. It provides a lighter cap structure. It can be treated roughly without affecting its ability to return back to shape. Perspiration will not pass through to spoil the appearance and render the cap less serviceable. It is softer and more comfortable to the head of the user. Since it does not hold or absorb the perspiration from the forehead of the user, no objectional conditions arise from perspiration, in its use. It can be noted that this lower body structure also serves to hold the cover of the cap in position without sewing although such is usually added as an additional safeguard.
While but one general form of the invention is shown in the drawings and described in the specifications, it is not desired to limit this application for patent to this particular form or in any other way otherwise than limited by the scope thereof, as it is appreciated that other forms of construction could be made that would use the same principles and come within the scope of the appended claims.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
1. In a uniform cap of the class described, comprising an inner sweat band attached to said body structure, a waterproof collar positioned in back of said sweatband, a laminated hair cloth stiffener support disposed against the side of said waterproof collar, a waterproof lining disposed against said hair cloth stiffener and overlapping the top portions of said Waterproof collar and hair cloth stifiener, a ledge member adapted to embrace the lower edges of said stiffener support and waterproof lining and waterproof collar and hold the body structure together at that point, and a peripheral rim extending around the struc- 3 ture and forming a bottom for alining and supporting the cap cover thereon.
2. A uniform cap of the class described comprising in combination, a top for said cap, a sidewall pending from the top and formed to merge with the general contour of said top, a braid peripherally attached to the bottom edge of said cover and aligned with the edge thereof, a rim member folded at its middle and positioned under the end of said top to form an outwardly extending supporting rim for said top and then being bent up vertically inside said cover to encompass its edge and leave an open space between the inner surface of the cover and said rim member just above the ledge, said member also extending horizontally towards the interior of the cap and terminating in an L-shaped end portion spaced away from the vertical portion and shorter in height, a lining ring vertically positioned against the rim member and bent over at its top edge, a pad ring encompassed between said offset portion and said lining ring, a plurality of pliable hair cloth rings vertically disposed and encompassed between the horizontal portion of the said member and bent over portion of the lining ring, an
oil skin ring of sweat resisting material positioned against said cloth rings, a pliable sweat band attached to the inner sides of the lining ring and rim member adjacent its upper and lower edges but providing an air space in between for the greater part of its height, with the oil skin ring forming a wall surface therefor, and means for tieing the cover, oil skin, rim member, pads, sweat band and hair cloth rings together and-forming same into alaminated stiffening and sweat resisting structure for pliably engaging the head of the user while retaining its capacity to resiliently maintain its formal shape.
