PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Device for Suspending Hats and Caps.
I, BENJAMIN CONNER, 9 Scott Street in the City of Glasgow, Engineer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved device to be attached to the inside leather
band or other internal lining of hats and caps to permit of their being suspended to
seats or walls or in other situations where the usual hat pegs or hooks may not be
available.
The improved device consists in one modification of a small sheet metal or other
plate one end of which is pointed and bent over in the form of a clip or hook to be
inserted through or otherwise engage with the hat or cap lining whilst at its mid
length or towards its opposite end a pin is inserted or a small strip is punched
partially out of the plate and bent over at about right angles to form a pin which
on drawing or folding out the hat lining is pushed into the seat or wall from which
the hat or cap is to be suspended, the extreme end of the plate being preferably bent
to facilitate the withdrawal of the pin in removing the hat or cap.
In another modification tending device is made of wire bent to any suitable
form and one end of which constitutes a hook or clip for engaging with the hat
lining whilst the other end is bent to form the pin by which the device with the hat
suspended by it is secured to the wall or seat.
