ABSTRACT:
A form particularly adapted to hold a wet cap or hat that has just been washed, for example, includes a base defined by a flat support plate with an inner opening. Positioned adjacent to a forward edge of this opening is a stationary member having a semicircular shaped upright flange portion. The form further includes a movable member having a like semicircular shaped upright flange portion. A slotted slide bar is joined to and extends from the movable member flange portion over a rear area of the support plate. These two flange portions are positioned in an opposing manner to partially surround the support plate opening. The movable member is slidably attached to the support plate by a set of fasteners positioned in slots in the support plate and movable member slide bar. During use a wet cap or hat may be placed on the form with the flange portions fitting inside a head piece of the cap. The position of the movable member then may be adjusted to form a snug fit with an inner head band of the head piece. This snug fit positions a visor portion of the cap over a front area of the support plate. The cap visor then may be compressively held against this front area by a pair of rubber bands, for example. As the cap dries, the form inhibits shrinkage and wrinkling of cloth portions of the cap and warpage of paper-base stiffener in the cap visor.
