W. P. WARE, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

EAR, CHEEK, AND CHIN IVIUFF.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 20,834, dated July 6, 1858.

.'Z'o all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. WARE, of the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in what I denominate an Ear, Cheek, and Chin Muff and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and made to form part of this specification.

Similar letters refer to like parts of the improvement.

The obj ect of my improvement is to muf the ears, cheeks, and chin to protect them from cold without attaching or tying the article used for muffing on the top of the head or around the neck and face as is commonly done. And the nature of the improvement consists in making what I will here denominate pockets for each ear by taking a ring or frame of wire or other material and covering it with fur or other substances with such a fullness as to form a pocket in which the ears are placed for the double purpose of protecting them from the cold and supporting and .holding the cheeks and chin portion of the muf to their respective parts as is fully represented in the accompanying drawings.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use the improvement I will proceed to describe its construction and use.

Figure l, represents a longitudinal sectional view of an improved muif, showing the pockets and a frame of wire and jointed for folding and to which the mutting material or fur is attached. Fig. 2, is a similar View of another muff without the frame of wirefrom ear to ear, as represented in Fig. l, but rings are used as represented in Fig. 3, to assist in forming the ear pockets, and Fig. 4, represents a head, showing the use and mode of attaching the muil".

a, a, is a frame of wire jointed at (B) under the chin and (C, C,) at the lower part of the ear pockets for folding the muf up to make it as portable as possible.

(cl, Z,) are the ring portions of the mufl" frame to which the pockets (f, f,) are attached for containing the ears and the frame is covered with furin this case but can be covered with cloth or any other material if desired, and when the muf is used the ears are placed in the pockets f, 7, which holds the other portion of the muff to the cheeks and chin as fully represented in Fig. 4.

Fig. 2, represents a muff made without the wire frame around the cheeks and chin but rings (g, 9,) are used to form the pockets (f, f,) and the cheek and chin portion of the muif are attached to the rings as represented in Fig. 2, and applied to use the same as Fig. l, muti".

Vhat I claim as my improvement and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- The arrangement of the ear, cheek and chin, pieces constructed as represented in Fig. l, of the drawings, and joined together in the manner represented and for purposes specified in the foregoing specification.

WM. P. WARE.
