IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CANES AND WHIPS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, GoRYnoNL. BUsnxELL, ot Cherry Valley, in the county of Ashtabula and State Figure l is a central vertical section, showing the whip inclosed within the cane.

Figure 2 is a detached yiew, the iron tip having been removed and the whip drawn out.

Figure 3 is a detached central sect-ion, exposing the spring catch.

Figure 4 is a transverse section in liney y of tig. 2.

Like letters denote identical parts in each of the gurcs. i

My invention consists in the combination of a cane and whip in such a manner that the whip can be inclosed within the cane and drawn outfroin the bottom, a spring being introduced in the head of the whip to serve as an additional security to hold it in such position, all of which will be more fully designated and set forth in the following specification andclaim.

In the drawing- A represents the barrel of the cane, constructed sufficiently hollow to allow the whip B to be inclosed therein.

Gis the head ofthe cane, which may he screwed upon or permanently attached thereto.

`this specification in the presence of two subscribin D is a' metal thimble on the lower end or' the cane, within which the head of the whip has its bearings when dra-wn out.

An iron tip, Eis screwed into the said thimble, as shown in the drawing.

rlhe whip B has a hollow metal head, within which is secured a latch-spring, F, as shown in g. 3, the object of which is to hold the whip more securely in its place when drawn out.

lIdo not confine myself to any particular form or style of spring..

The operation of my cane-whip may be explained.

as `follows Supposing the parts to be together, as shown in tig. l--to Yadjust as a whip, nnscrew the iron tip E, and draw the whip out until the head thereof rests firmly within the metal thimble D and the spring catch is re lieved, as shown in figs. 1,2, and 3.

' Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of thc United States, is-

A cane-whip, combining in its construction the barrel A, whip B, tip-thimble D, iron tip E, and spring'- catch F, all substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to witnesses.

C. L. BUSHNELL.
