    What is a smoked hat?

    Question #30934. Asked by jodirt. (Mar 31 03 11:53 PM)


    Friar Tuck

    		A deep sea divers helmet. In 1823, the English Charles Anthony Deane obtains a patent for an invention he calls 'smoked hat'. First intended for firemen, this hard hat will soon be used by divers. The hard hat covers the head and is secured with weights and straps. The air comes through tubes from the surface.
    There is a picture of one on http://www.nepteau.com/~firstdivingsuit.html

    		Or do you mean smoker's hat? In which possibility I will repost an earlier answer:
    One of those gloriously unnecessary but ingenious inventions that drive patent offices
