Abstract: 27,732. Hale, E. S. Dec. 9. Hats, securing to head. - In hat - securing devices in which several prongs are retracted into an annular fitting in the hat, the prongs are jointed to centrally-pivoted arms operated by cords passing through the hat. A ring 1 is riveted to a similar ring so as to leave a narrow space between them, and a bar 3, bent up so as to avoid the head, carries two pivoted arms 4, 6. Pins 8 on these arms project through slots 9 in one of the rings, and have pivoted to them curved prongs 10, which bear against rollers 13, 12, so that the prongs are respectively inwardly extended or retracted according as the arms 4, 6 are separated or brought together. These movements are accomplished by cords 15, 16, passing through guides 17, 18 to the outside of the hat. The device may be placed between the hat and the lining, holes being provided in the lining to admit the prongs. One of the rings may have portions dispensed with, or it may be entirely replaced by a wire sheath. The number of prongs may be varied.

Abstract: 13,278. M³ller, E. June 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Vehicles, washing.- Vehicle-washing apparatus, of the kind in which a hose is connected to a watersupply mounted on an overhead support, is constructed with an horizontally swinging delivery pipe to which one end of the hose is attached, and with valve-operating mechanism arranged so that a pull on the hose opens the water-valve. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus, comprising a support A carrying a fixed valved supply-pipe B and a swinging delivery pipe C. A bracket d depending from a second swinging member forms an additional support for the delivery pipe. The hose H<2> is connected to one end of a pivoted spring-actuated lever G by means of a flexible cord or the like K, which is coiled several times round the ratchet drum I<2>. A downward pull on the hose tilts the lever G so that the ring G' at its free end opens the valve through the medium of the levers F, e. The ratchet prevents the valve from closing until the hose is raised sufficiently to permit the cord to slip on the drum, but by disengaging the pawl from the ratchet-wheel, the valve may be adapted to close immediately the downward pull on the hose is released.
