LOUIS I. IEKQWSKY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

- CLOTH CAI.

Application filed. July 18, 1928. Serial No. 293,586.

Another object of the invention is to pro-.

vide a cap of this nature with a hinged peak or visor, adapted when desired to be secreted within the cap.

A further object of the invention is to provide a hat of this nature with a stretchable band at the bottom thereof, thereby providing means to make the cap expansible within limits embracing several sizes, and to compensate for the thickness of the visor when folded inwardly.

A still further object of the invention is to produce a cap of the nature referred to of simple and inexpensive construction.

Other objects and advantages will appear as the nature of the improvements is better understood, the invention consisting substantially in the novel arrangement and co-relation of parts herein fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein similar reference characters are used to describe corresponding parts throughout the several views, and then finally pointed out and specifically defined and indicated in the appended claim.

The discolsure made the basis of exemplifying the present inventive concept suggests a practical embodiment thereof, but the invention it not to be restricted to the exact details of this disclosure, and the latter,'therefore, is to be understood from an illustrative, rather than a restrictive standpoint.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification Figure 1 is a side view in elevation of my improved cap.

Fig. 2 is a similar view to Fig. 1, partly in sect-ion showing the visor in hidden position.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 Fig. 2, and

Fig. 4 is a sectional view of the visor taken on line M Fig. 1 showing how it is attached to the cap.

Referring now to the drawings in detail 5 indicates a cap having a substantially flat top 6 and preferably a downwardly tapering body portion forming a substantially inverted frustrum of a cone. At the bottom edge of the hat there is provided a stretchable band 8 preferably made of a knit ted fabric and sub stantially U shaped or tubular in cross section. At the frontof the cap I provide a peak or visor 10 which extends to about the center of the sides of the said tapering body portion 7 and is secured thereto in the following manner I Tapes 11 and 12 are sewn to the top and bot tom of the upper portion of the visor by a row of stitches 13 near the bottom edges of the said tapes and a row of stitches I l passes through the omos te ed es oft-a )cs through the li a a J) band 8 and the cap material to form a hinge 15 about which the visor may be made to swing inwardly or outwardly of the cap as desired. v

By referring to Fig. 2 of the drawings it will be seen that when the visor is folded inwardly the bottom thereof is disposed above the top of the band 8 thus permitting same to stretch without restriction by the said visor.

It will be seen from the foregoing that I have provided a childs cap having a visor adapted to be swung inwardly or outwardly of the hat, the said cap being provided with a band adapted to stretch so as to compensate for the thickness of the visor, when the said visor is swung inside of the cap. I

It will also be seen that I have provided a two style cap of a simple andinexpensive construction adapted to expand within limits embracing severalhead sizes.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent isc I I In a cap,a body portion, a stretchable band around the bottom edge thereof, a visor, and a fabric hinge connecting the visor to the body on a line in spaced relation to the top of the stretchable band when the visor is swung to the inside of the cap to permit the band to expand.

In testimony whereof I hereunto athx my signature.

' LOUIS I. PEKOVVSKY.
