A short dictionary entry describing a hat-tip stretcher, a machine for stretching the tip of a hat cone so it can be blocked flat. The cone is held by a clamp at the top. When the treadle is pressed, the stretchers rise, reach the hat, then expand between pendent arms and crimp the tips. A line drawing (Fig. 2445) shows the frame, clamp, stretchers, spring and linkage.
