PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ventilating Waterproof and other Hats and Caps.
ABRAHAM ROSENTHALL 9 Brook Street Walsall Manager of a Waterproof
Clothing Manufactory do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows --
My invention consists in the ventilating of india rubber or other waterproof or
cloth hats and caps. Communicating with the inside of the hat I make small
holes, these holes may place at the front, back or sides of the hat or I may place
them all round the hat. Now I cover these holes or apertures outside the hat by
a series of small flaps which I may put in number as I may desire, I also may vary
the shape of these said flaps, providing always that I make my ventilating hats or
caps on the principle described above, namely holes in the sides of the hat, to
release the heated air, such holes covered by small flaps on the outside of the hat.
I may make my flaps an integral part of the top of my hat, or I may make them
of small pieces attached to the top as I may prefer.
Dated this 2nd day of June 1893.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Ventilating Waterproof and other Hats and Caps.
I, ABRAHAM ROSENTHALL of 9 Brook Street, Walsall, Manager to a Water-
proof Clothing Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of my said 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 the ventilating of hats and caps used as coverings for
the head, either waterproof, cloth or any material of which hats or caps are made.
My aim and object being to allow a constant interchange of impure for pure air to
the health and comfort of the wearer, and obviating any draught.
And in order that this my said invention may be more fully understood, I shall
now proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose I shall
refer to the several figures, on the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed, the same
letters of reference indicating corresponding parts throughout all the figures.
Fig. 1 is a side view elevation of a suitable cap for fishing, shooting, cycling,
and other purposes.
Fig. 2 is a side view elevation of a cap used for similar purposes to Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a front elevation of a hat of ordinary wear.
In each figure, a, is the body of the hat or cap, constructed as hitherto, in Fig. 1
the hood b, which is shewn down can be arranged inside the cap when required,
and in Fig. 2 the hood b, can also be turned down when required.
In Figs. 1 and 2, c is the peak, and in Fig. 3, d is the brim.
By referring to a, in each of the figures the dotted lines e indicate the edge or
extent of a, and the holes in a, as shewn at g, are covered by the flaps 1, in some
cases may be as a covering or crown, but in all cases sufficiently free so as not to
impede with the outlet or inlet of the air, which is indicated by the arrows.
The above being my invention I would observe in conclusion that I do not
confine myself to the precise details herein given and set forth, as I

may vary the

page_text: position of the holes for ventilation and also the flaps just according to the hats or
caps that my invention may be applied.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
