Applieation filed April 22, 1925. Serial No. 25,100.

" and inexpensive in construction and can be applied readily to a hat band, said clip also constituting efficient means for gripping and holding various articles placed in engagement therewith.

'VVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings, 7 a

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a hat having the present improvements combined therewith.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the clip.

Figure 3 is an edge View thereof.

Referring to the figures by characters of referencel designates an elongated tongue formed by bending the middle portion of a spring wire so .as to provide substantially parallel legs 2. The closed end or crown portion 3 of the tongue 1 is offset as indicated at 47in Figure 3 so as to constitute a deflector as will be hereinafter explained.

Each of the legs 2 of the tongue merges at one end into a laterally extended arcuate portion 5 from which extends an arm 6. Each arm, in turn, merges into an arcuate portion 7 which is extended toward tongue 1 and is integral with a short loop 8 located between said tonguean'd the arm 6. Each loop 8 has an open end located adjacent the arcuate -'portion 7. Tongue '1 projects slightly beyond the arcuate portions 7 and I l all parts of the device except the offset end '3 of the tongue are located in substantially the same plane as will beapparent'byv referring to Figure 3. Q

When it is desired to use this clip the loops 8 are sprung back out oftheir normal positions so as to be insertible downwardly 7 back of the-band B of a hat H. This will leave the arms 6 and the tongue 1 exposed upon the outer face of the band and extending practically throughout the height of the band. When it is desired to attach an article to the hat the same is placed .back of the offset end 3 of tongue land pulled down wardly so as to be gripped between said I tongue and the arms 6. This has been clearly indicated in Figure 1 wherein a'necktie N has beenshown gripped by the clip and held assembled with the hat. 7

Obviously the device herein described will be found quite useful in holding .a necktie, collar and other small articles assembled with the hat. of the user while engaged in occupations where it is more dispense with them.

What is claimedis: I

A clip of theclass described including a comfortable to single'length of'spring wire bent to provide an e ongated intermediate loop or tongue havlnglegs merglng into arms substantially parallel with the tongue and I at opposite sides of said tongue respectively, and a short support gripping loop integral with each of the arms,'said p being at opposite sides of the tongue and disposed oppositely thereto, each of said short loops being disposed between one arm andone side of the intermediate tongue. 7 r

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature.
