Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For an improvement in the mode of Stiffening Hats; Jonathan D. Wilson, New York, August 6.
The rim of a hat, and the top of the crown, are to be stiffened in the usual way, whilst the part between is to be left without stiffening of any kind. A piece of buckram, or other stiff substance, is made to fit within the hat, the lower edge tucking under the sweat leather, and the other extending up to the crown. When this is removed, the hat may be flattened down, and put into a trunk, and when replaced, the hat will resume its usual appearance.
The inside stiffener constitutes the claim.”
