DISPLAY-STAND FOR HATS.
Specication of Letters I Patent.
Patented Nov. 26, 1907.
dows of stores, and upon which may be placed hats of various styles and designs, the stand being extensible and provided at its upper end with a hat holder, which can be turned at any desired angle to its support, thereby enabling a hat to be placed in a position or at an angle calculated to display it to the best advantage, or where several hats are displayed, to so arrange them as to give a pleasing and artistic effect.
The lnvention further consists in the va-l rious details of construction hereinafter set forth in the following specification and claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a perspective view of the adjustable hat holder and its su port, a portion only of the upper end of t e standard being shown. Flg. 2, is a side elevation of the device comlete, Fig. 3, is a plan view of the hat holder etached from its support. Fig. 4, is a plan view of the support.
And Fig. 5, 1s a sectional view of `a portion of the extensible standard, showing the manner of clamping the outer tube upon the inner or adjustable tube, tohold it in the desired position.
. Referring to the accom anying drawings, the numeral 1, indicates t e base ofa`vertically extensible standard; 2, the outer tube or standard proper, which is suitably secured to the base, preferably by being screwed therein; and 3, the tube or rod which is vertically adjustable within the tube 2. The upper end of the tube or standard 2, is shghtly tapered and threaded, and formed with slits 4, which permit the end of the tube to be compressed or contracted, and a thumb nut 5, having a tapered, threaded bore, is screwed upon the end of the tube 2, which clamps the tube upon the rod 3, and holds it at the desired position. Upon the upper end of the rod 3 is screwed the support 6, for the hat holder 7. This support comprises a to the drawings.
circular nut or head 8, to which is secured a plurality of spring clamps 9, each of which is substantially of the form of an inverted U, the side members of which terminate in two or more coils 10, the free ends of which extend through holes in the nut 8, and are secured therein. I referably employ three of these clamps, an the tendency of the coils is to force them toward the axial center of the nut 8, as shown in Fig. 4.
The hat holder comprises spring arms 11, the inner ends yof which terminate in two or more coils 12, the free ends of which are inserted in a ball 13, which is preferably metal and the surface of which is roughened or serrated. This ball is designed to be held within the clamps 9, as shown, which permit it to be turned, but hold it iirmly in any desired position. From the coils 12, the arms 11 extend upward a short distance, -and slightly outward,` and are then given a downward and outward curve, and the ends are bent to form segmental loops 14, which are positioned to fit within the band portion of a hat crown, as will be understood by reference The outer surface of each loop is preferably roughened or serrated, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to insure the proper frictional engagement between the loop and.
the hat band, and the spring arms 11 and coils 12 will exert sufficient lateral pressiue upon the loops to cause them to fit tightly within the hat band.
The stand may be employed for displaying both mens and womens hats, and in the latter case especially, where there is such variety in style and shape, the adjustable feature of the hat holder will be very advantageous in securing an artistic efl'ect.
In assembling the parts, the nut 5 is placed on the end of the tube 2, and the rod 3, to which is screwed the support 6, is inserted through the nut and into the tube; the ball 13, to which the hat holding arms are secured, is then forced in between the clamps 9, which engage the ball 'above the plane of its horizontal center, and hold it with sul'licient pressure to prevent its accidental displacement, but permit it to be turned to position the arms 11 at any desired angle with respect to the standard, the roughened surface of the ball preventing it from slipping within its clamps. Thus a universal joint is formed between the holder and its support, which permits of the holder being tilted at any desired angle, and. the eXtensible standard allows the desired vertical adjustment to be made.
The device as illustrated, embodies the essential features of my device, but modifications in the construction may be employed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I-Iaving described the invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a display stand, the combination with a base and hollow standard, of a rod adjustable in the standard, provided with a disk-shaped terminal end, a-plurality of vertically extending inwardly-pressing spring clamps attached at one end to said diskshaped terminal end ofy said rod, said spring clamps comprising U shaped members provided with coils intermediate of their ends, and arranged in a circle above said rod, av ball held above said rod between said spring clamps by the resilient irictional pressure of said spring clamps, and hat-engaging spring arms, one of the ends of which is secured to said ball and provided with a spring coilclose to said ball, the opposite ends of which terminate in segmental hat-retaining loops and extend inv opposite directions from said ball far enough to clamp against the inside of a hat. A i
2. In a display stand, the combination of `the stand and the rod provided witha plurality of spring clamping arms arranged in a circle, with a ball adapted to be adjustably pivotally clamped by the resilient spring pressure oi said spring clamps above said rod, and the spring hat engaging and clamping arms secured to the opposite sides of said ball at one of their ends, and provided with a spring coil intermediate of their ends, and arranged to extend in opposite diametrical directions from said ball and to clamp with an outward resilient pressure against the insides o hats.

In testimony whereofI aHiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
