COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in connection with Caps and similar Head
Coverings.
I, MYER GOLDBERG, of 412, Hackney Road, London, E., Cap Manufacturer
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My invention relates to an improved cap or head covering the object of which
is to provide better ventilating accommodation than obtains with such caps hitherto
made and used.
I attain this by placing in any convenient part of the crown or other part of the
said cap, a preferably, circular perforated or wire gauze disc or discs or any
suitable equivalents therefor, and upon the inside of the cap at such part or parts
as are in close contact with the head a strip or strips of perforated leather, cloth,
or other suitable material so as to form a part or continuation of the lining thereof.
By this means I am enabled to provide a perfect ventilation for the head of the
wearer, the heated moisture from which passing through the said perforated strips
of leather, or other material, may not only evaporate through the more or less
porous material of which the cap may be made, but passing between the outer
material and the lining, escape through the before mentioned disc or discs in the
crown or other part of the cap.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a top or crown view of said cap shewing the position in which I prefer
to place the ventilating disc when only one of these is employed.
Fig. 2 is a side view of same.
Fig. 3 is a section taken from the peak to the back of Fig. 1 through the centre
of the crown.
In carrying my invention into effect I construct of tweed, cloth, or any suitable
light material a cap A, to which is attached the peak B, the front of the crown
of A being fastened to said peak in the usual way of such caps and as shewn in
Fig. 2. Within the body of A, and in any suitable part or parts thereof, I sew or
otherwise fix any desired number of discs C, which may be of perforated zinc or
other metal, or of single or double framed wire gauze, or perforated cloth
or leather, or any suitable equivalent therefor, this or these being attached to
the lining D and the outer material A.
In the drawings I have shewn only one such disc that being placed in the centre
of the crown.
Within the inside of the cap A, at the front, back, or sides, or all round the cap?

page_text: at the part in closest contact with the head of the wearer, and so as to form part,
or a continuation of, the lining D, I sew or otherwise fix a strip or strips of
perforated leather, cloth, or other suitable material. In the accompanying drawings
two such strips are shewn, one E upon the inside of the front or forehead of the
cap, and one F occupying part of the sides and the back or part of the back of
same.
The said strip or strips E, F may be of any suitable width desired, the wider the
strips employed the lesser the area of the lining D, as D, E and F practically from
the entire lining of the cap.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what 1
claim is :-
In combination with a cap A, B the employment of a single or double perforated
or gauze disc or discs C, and strips of perforated leather cloth or other suitable
material E, F, forming in conjunction with D, a lining for the cap A, substantially
as and for the purposes stated and shewn by the appended drawings.
Dated this 8th day of July 1892.
