Devices and methods for organizing hats
View Patent ↗A hat holder for effectively holding a hat in a manner and position simulating the position that the hat would take when placed on a person's head, effectively displaying the front portion of the hat and maintaining the shape of the hat without leaving any marks on the hat. The device includes a magnet that creates a magnetic bond with the ferrous part of the hat, a general hat form being additional support for maintaining the general shape of a hat, an arm that connects from the support structure to the base and a base which allows the hat to be supported from various support structures including but not limited to a vertical wall surface or the like with the orientation enabling the hat to be positioned generally in the attitude that the hat would assume when placed on a person's head.
1 . A hat holder, the hat holder comprising:
a base configured for attachment to a mounting surface, the base having a base end and a bottom surface, wherein the base end is connected to an arm, the arm extending away from the base at an upward angle, wherein the arm comprises a slot and at least two longitudinal structural supports;
a brim-support having a brim-support end, the brim-support end connecting to the arm to form a crest, wherein the brim-support extends at a downward angle from the crest; and
a magnet disposed within an underside of the hat holder such that the magnet is intersected by a plane through and parallel with the crest.
2 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein widths of the base, the arm, and the brim-support are the same.
3 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is bisected by the plane through the crest.
4 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein the arm forms an acute angle with a body of the base.
5 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is disposed within a topside of the hat holder.
6 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein the magnet is fully encased within the hat holder.
7 . The hat holder of claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface is configured to slidably mate with a wall cleat.
8 . A hat holder, the hat holder comprising:
a base configured for attachment to a mounting surface; and
an arm connected to the base and extending away from the mounting surface at an upward angle, wherein the arm joins a brim-support to form a crest, wherein the brim-support is angled at a downward angle from the crest, the brim-support having an opening; and
a magnet disposed within at least a portion of the crest.
9 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the base comprises a bottom surface configured to mate with a wall cleat.
10 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the arm forms an acute angle with a body of the base.
11 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the opening of the brim-support forms a ring.
12 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is disposed within an underside of at least a portion of the crest.
13 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is disposed within a topside of at least a portion of the crest.
14 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is fully encased within at least a portion of the crest.
15 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is bisected by a plane through and parallel with the crest.
16 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the magnet is configured such that the magnetic material of a hat is attracted to the magnet.
17 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the arm comprises a slot.
18 . The hat holder of claim 8 , wherein the arm comprises two longitudinal structural supports.
19 . A hat holder, the hat holder comprising:
a base configured for attachment to a mounting surface, the base comprising a base end, a bottom surface and a width, the bottom surface configured to mate with a wall cleat;
an arm connected to the base end, the arm extending away from the base at an upward angle such that the arm forms an acute angle with the mounting surface, wherein the arm comprises a slot, two longitudinal structural supports, and a width;
a brim-support having a brim-support end and a width, the brim-support end connecting to the arm to form a crest, wherein the brim-support extends at a downward angle from the crest;
a magnet disposed within at least a portion of the crest such that the magnet is intersected by a plane through and parallel with the crest; and
wherein the widths of the base, the arm and the brim-support are substantially the same.
