HAIRDRES S ING CAP Filed May 20, 1940 INVENTOR WITNE SS ATTORNEYS Patented July 29, 194i UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HAIRDRESSING CAP Birtie Mae Kelley, Atlanta, Ga.
Application May 20, 1940, Serial No. 336,251 7 (01. 2-198) 3 Claims.
This invention relates to hair dressing caps for ladies, and its general object is to provide a cap that is preferably made essentially from fine openwork fabric, such as net or lace, into a frusto-conical cup like body to provide an open top to allow the crown portion of the head of the wearer to project slightly therethrough, so as to facilitate holding the cap in place, and that feature coupled with the net material and chin straps made from ribbon or the like, provides an extremely light weight cap, that is firmly held on the head with minimum pressure, against any possibility of casual removal or displacement, with the result it will be seen that my cap is not only comfortable to wear, but prevents the hair of the wearer from becoming disarranged under any and all circumstances.
A further object is to provide a cap of the character set forth, that can be worn in the boudoir or while riding in a vehicle, in that it is extremely attractive and neat in appearance, and for that purpose can be decorated in any suitable manner and made from material of different colors.
Another object is to provide a 'cap that is simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture and extremely efiicient in use and service.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.
In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating my cap in use.
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the cap per so, looking toward the rear thereof.
Figure 3 is a view illustrating the blanks from which the body of my cap is made, there being only two blanks or pieces in the form shown and both blanks are shown in full lines while the back blank is likewise shown in dotted lines and associated with the front blank in a manner to illustrate the difference in the shape of the respective blanks.
Referring to the drawing in detail, it will be noted that the body of my cap in the form as shown, is made from two blanks or pieces I and 2 of any suitable material but it is preferably some very light openwork fabric, such as net or lace, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
In any event, both blanks are of truncated substantially triangular formation and are approximately of the same width, but the front blank I is longer than the back blank 2 and the long outer edge 3 of the front blank is curved in convexed formation, while its short inner edge 4 is curved in concaved formation. Both inner and outer edges 5 andB of the back blank are curved in concaved formation and the end edges 1 and 8 of the back blank, as well as the end edges 9 and ll) of the front blank, are curved in convexed formation.
In forming the body of the cap from the blanks or pieces I and 2, they are curved along their length or in other words between the edges 1 and 8, and the edges 9 and I0, and the edges 1 and 9 are sewed together, while the edges 8 and H] are sewed together to provide the frusto-coni'cal configuration of the body, and the opening II in the crown thereof, to allow a portion of the head of the wearer to project slightly therethrough, as shown in Figure 1, so as to facilitate holding the cap in place.
The ewed together edges of the blanks may be folded and disposed in interlocked association, before they are sewed, but in any event are overlapped to provide a strong seam or joint, and in order to increase the strength of the seam, it will be noted that the chin straps I2 are continued from the outer edge of the body to the edge of the opening II to provide reinforcing strips l3 sewed along the length of the seams to cover the latter, as clearly shown in Figure 2. The chin straps I2 may be made from any suitable material, but they are preferably strips of ribbon or the like, and in the form shown, they are of any suitable length to be tied together under the chin, as shown in Figure 1. However, the chin straps may be separate from the reinforcing and seam covering strips l3 and only one chin strap may be provided. In that event the single chin strap has one end fixed to one side of the body and its opposite end is detachably secured to the opposite side of the body by any suitable means such as a snap fastener or the like.
Due to the fact that the seams are covered by ribbon reinforcing strips I3, that may be a continuation of the chin straps, together with the fanciful design of the body, it will be obvious that my cap is ornamental and attractive, and in order to further enhance its beauty it may be decorated with any suitable edging material about the outer edge of the body and the edge of the crown opening, such as for example baby rickrack braid that is sewed about or adjacent said edges,
as clearly shown in Figure 2. The body may be further decorated by designs made from any suitable material, and of course the body material may be of a different color or shade than that of the edging material, and the same may be true with respect to the reinforcing strips and chin straps. It might be mentioned that the edging material likewise acts to reinforce the edges of the body, as will be apparent.
While the attractive feature of my cap is important, th main feature is its function of holding the wearers hair in place under any and all circumstances, and such is accomplished, due to the fact that casual displacement or removal of the cap from the head of the wearer is practically impossible when secured in place, as shown in Figure 1, in that the crown portion of the head extends through the opening H to prevent sliding of the cap on the head and the chin receiving means such as the straps l2 prevent removal.
It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.
What I claim is: h V V l 1. A hair dressing cap comprising a body made from a front piece and a back piece of fine mesh lace, said pieces being shaped and having certain edge portions thereof stitched together to provide lateral seams and to form the body into frustoconical configuration with an opening in its top to allow a portion of the crown of the head of the wearer to project therethrough to facilitate holding the cap on the 'head, reinforcing strips from a front piece and a back piece of fine mesh net fabric, said pieces being shaped and having certain edge portions thereof stitched together to provide lateral seams and to form the body into frusto-conical configuration with an opening in its top to allow a portion of the crown of the head of the wearer to project therethrough to facilitate holding the cap on the head, chin straps in the form of ribbons and cooperating with the opening to fasten the cap on the head against casual removal or displacement, said straps being of a length for disposal along the outer faces of the seams throughout the entire length thereof and stitched thereto to provide covering and reinforcing means therefor, and decorative edging material secured about and adjacent to the outer edge portions of the body and said opening to reinforce said edge portions.
3. A hair dressing cap comprising a body made from a front piece and a back piece of fine mesh fabric material and shaped in truncated substantially triangular formation, saidf-ront piece having a long con-vexed outer edge, a short concaved inner edge and convexed end edges, said back piece having a long concaved outer edge, a short concaved inner edge and convexed end edges, the convexed end edges of one piece being secured to the convexed end edges of the other piece to provide lateral seamsand to form the body into frusto-con ical configuration with a circular opening provided by the short concaved inner edges and disposed in the top of the body to allow a portion of the crown of the head of the wearer to project therethrough to facilitate holding the cap on the head, reinforcing strips secured to the outer face of the body along the seams to cover the latter, means secured to the body upon opposite sides of the outer edge portions thereof and for disposal under the chin of the wearer to cooperate with the opening to fasten the cap on the head against casual removal or displacement, and decorative braid secured to the body adjacent the edges thereof for reinforcing the same.
