Device to be applied to the Inside of Head Gear for the
Conveyance of Small Articles.
I, HENRY SOLOMON WELLCOME (trading as Burroughs, Welcome and Company), of
Snow Hill Buildings, Holborn Viaduct, London, in the County of London,
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:-
One object of this invention is to facilitate the personal conveyance of small articles
by means of utilizing a space in head gear.
Another object is the construction of a suspending bracket specially adapted to
hold goods packed in tubular containers as hereinafter described.
Another object is to manufacture a suspending bracket with adjustable fastener for
hats in such a manner as to make their attachment to or detachment from a hat both
easy and quick of accomplishment.
Another object is to provide in such articles means for attaching them to a hat
without any preparation of the hat for their reception,
Another object is to make such articles in a manner which will ensure their having
no detrimental effect upon the head gear in which they are used.
Another object is to provide means specially adapted to convey drugs and chemical
products in compressed form in view of the probability of such an invention becoming
a great convenience to the medical profession.
I attain the objects of my invention by the manufacture of an adjustable carrier for
attachment to the inside of hats in the following menner as illustrated in the
drawings that is to say ;
Fig. represents a round disc (A¹) into the centre of which is fixed a piece of
wire (A2). The wire may be of the same diameter throughout or may be
flattened or grooved upon one side to facilitate the engagement therewith of the
screw (C²).
Fig. 2 represents a round disc (B¹) which is fixed into the tube (B³) by means of
the centre screw (B2). The tube (B3) receives the wire (A2) shown in Fig. 1. The
tube (B3) is provided with the lateral inlet at C through which the screw (C2) is
inserted, and a thread at (B) to receive the screw (B³).
Fig. 3 represents the collar (C¹) shown in Fig. 2 which encircles the tube (B³) and
is fixed thereto and into which the screw (C2) is inserted.
Fig. 4 represents the rack or container which is fixed or adjustably attached to the
tube (B) in any suitable manner and comprises a number of pairs of clips (D¹) and
(D2) into which goods in tubular containers may be inserted. (D³) and (D4) show
fixed or adjustable fastenings for the adjustment of the rack to the bar carrier.
The discs (A) and (B¹) shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 respectively are made about
one inch in diameter for the purpose of distributing over a sufficiently large area the
slight pressure required to retain the suspender in position without damaging the
hat.
My suspending carrier may be adjusted to the breadth or length of a hat as shown
in Figs. 5 and 6.

page_text: I manufacture these adjustable suspenders for the conveyance of goods in head
gear in any suitable material but preferably of aluminium or other light and strong
metal.-
I do not limit myself to the style of the rack shown in Fig. 4 but claim for a rack
of this description a suitable method of conveying articles in tubular or other
convenient form or packed in tubular or other suitable containers.
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 :-
(1) An adjustable carrier for small articles comprising a sliding rod and tubular
receiver a fixed collar and adjustable screw substantially as described.
(2) An adjustable carrier for small articles comprising an adjustable sliding bar
in two sections and and an adjustable rack or carrier as herein before described.
(3) An adjustable carrier for small articles comprising an adjustable bar and
adjustable rack fitted with spring holders particularly adapted to the purpose
herein before recited substantially as described.
(4) The general construction arrangement and combination of the several respective
parts forming my invention of "A device to be applied to the inside of head gear for
the conveyance of small articles substantially as herein before described and
illustrated by the drawings.
