Firemans Cap.

IMPROVEMENT lNv FIREMENSCAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 128,461, dated July 2, 1872. v
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that'I, PETER ACKERMAN, of Bangor, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Firemans Cap and I hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specifieation- Which shows a front View of my device at Figure 1, and at Fig. 2 its appearance when attached to a hat.
The object of my invention is to protect firemen against smoke and flame when entering a'burning building for the purpose of saving life or property. The smoke in such cases is frequently so dense as to prevent access to goods or furniture, which have consequently to be abandoned. In order to overcome this I provide a hood of woolen or other suitable substance, which is drawn over the face and head. This keeps the smoke from the eyes and lungs, and yet permits sufficient air to pass through for breathing purposes. It is provided with eye-holes c vered with glass or isinglass,
(preferably the latter, as being less liable to c, it will be sure to retain the hood in the top of the hat when not in use.
This device is capable of application to many other useful purposes by varying thematerial of which the hood is made. The seams are made flat, so as not to hurt the head when the hat is put on over the hood.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The protector, as-deseribed, eonsistin g of the hood at, having isinglass Windows for the eyes 1) I), and fastening beneath the chin, as set forth, either alone or in combination with a hat, as
' specified.
