IRVIN M. GRODIN, 0F CHICAGO, ILLINOS.
UMBRELLA, CANE, AND THE LIKE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 20, i915.
Application filed September 23, 1912. Serial No. 721,831.
T0 zZ-Z 'whom 'it may concern Be it known that l, lRvIN M. GRODIN, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing. at Chicago, Cook county, illinois, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Umbrellas, Canes, and the like, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates generally to improvements in canes, umbrellas and the like and has particular reference to improvements in the handles thereof.
The general object of my invention is to provide an umbrella, cane, or similar device with means for securing it to a'iiXture or some object that cannot easily be carried away to prevent theft, unintentional removal, and loss.
Another object of my invention is to provide a lock for umbrellas, canes, and the like which shall be contained in the handle thereof, which shall be simple in construction, low in cost, and which shall not mar the appearance of the article to which it is applied.
My invention consists generally in an umbrella, cane or similar article provided with a self contained locking device adapted to embrace a fixture, a piece of furniture, or other not easily portable object in manner to prevent theft or unintentional removal.
My invention also consists in an umbrella, cane, or similar device provided with a lock and a locking link or bail adapted to embrace a chair or other not easily portable article in manner to lock same thereto.
My invention consists further in an urnbrella or the like comprising self-contained means adapted to be pulled out and secured around the arm of a chair, fixed rod, bar, or the like and be fastened in the umbrella handle whereby unintentional removal and theft are prevented.
My invention will stood by reference drawings in which;
Figure 1 illustrates an umbrella embodying my invention secured to the arm of a seat; Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of the handle showing the arm embracing portion partially removed from the handle; Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the bail or arm engaging portion contained in the handle as in ordinary use; Fig. 4: is a sectional view showing the bail or rod locked, but indicating the cap pulled out to give access to the lock.
be more readily underto the accompanying A. great number of umbrellas are lost to the owners either through theft or unintentional taking. It is the purpose of my invention to provide a simple device contained in thc handle of the umbrella to prevent loss in this manner.
Referring now particularly to Figs. l to Ll, Fig. l illustrates an umbrella 2, embodying my invention locked in place upon a chair arm 3. rllhe form of my invention here depicted is particularly adapted for bent handles. l make a small groove il, in the underside of the handle 5, and in this l arrange a bail 6. The bail 6 is pivotally secured to the handle at 7 and comprises two links 6 and 6 pivoted at 6', s0 that the links will conform to the groove Ll. The
handle here shown is one of the usual forms of umbrella handles in which the hand engaging portion is at right angles to the rod carrying portion. lWhen the handle is curved or of other formation, l make the links G in such manner as to conform thereto. The manner in which the links comprising the bail rest in the handle is well shown in Fig. 3. For locking the umbrella in place the bail is pulled out from its position in the groove 4t, and placed in the position indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2, and by the full lines in Fig. l. ln this manner it may be made to embrace or encircle any stationary object such as the arm of a chair. l provide the end of the handle with a suitable lock 8. rlhis is preferably a small snap lock into which the end 6a of the bail can be inserted. Fig. l indicates the bail in position in the lock and with the key for unlocking it. To lock the umbrella in place it is but necessary to withdraw the bail from its groove, place it around the chair arm or other fixture and insert the end of the bail in the lock. With this form of my invention the umbrella cannot be removed without using a key to release the bail from the lock.
In order to make a neat handle, l preferably provide the end of the handle with a ferrule 9 adapted to slip over the lock. This is slidable back and forth in order to expose the lock when necessary and to cover it up when not desired. l provide the handle with a bayonet-like groove 10 into which a stud ll of the ferrule enters. When the ferrule is shoved in its innermost position it is given a slight turn to prevent unintentional movement thereof. rlihe ferrule besides hiding the lock and finishing the end of the handle, serves to hold the bail in place. This is well shown in Fig. 3.
The umbrella as ordinarily used appears not unlike any other umbrella, because the bail is contained in a groove on the underside of the handle and is therefore practically out of sight, and the end of the handle is iinished by the ferrule 9 which may be engraved or etched ifrdesired, like the caps of the present day umbrellas. The cap or ferrule 9 instead of being secured as here shown may be hinged and provided with a push button release.
Besides locking the umbrella in place other articles may be locked with it, if desired. For instance on the chair shown, a coat may be locked in place by putting the bail 6 through one or more of the button holes of the coat.
There are, of course, numerous other modifications which will readily suggest themselves and for that reason, I do not wish to limit my invention to the devices herein disclosed.
Having thus described my invention, I kclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
l. In a device of the class described, a handle comprising two substantially right angular-ly disposed portions having a recess therein, a plural link bail mounted in the recess thereof, means fixing one end of the bail to the handle and permitting removal of the rem ainder of the bail to embrace a lixture or the like, and a lock fixed in the handle and adapted to receive the free end of said bail, as and for the purpose specified.
2. In a device of the class described, the combination of a handle composed of angularly disposed portions and having a groovelike recess therein, a plural-link bail mounted therein, conforming thereto and pivoted at one end to the handle, a ferrule or cap on the handle normally holding the bail in the recess, said cap being movable to permit removal of the bail, and a lock recessed in the handle and adapted to receive the free end of said bail.
3. In a device of the class described, the combination of a handle having a groovelike recess therein, a bail composed of a number of links arranged in said recess, one end of said bail being pivoted to the handle, a cap or ferrule slidably mounted on the handle and adapted to engage the free end of the bail and hold same against removal, and a lock recessed in said handle adapted to receive the free end of said bail and being normally covered` by said slidable cap or ferrule.
4. In a device of the class described the combination of a handle having two right angularly disposed portions, a groove-like recess in the underside of both portions, a twolink bail arranged in said recess, means pivotally securing one end of the bail to the handle, a cap or ferrule slidably mounted on the handle and normally covering the free end of said bail, and preventing removal thereof, a lock arranged in said handle and normally hidden from view by said cap, said lock adapted to receive the free end of said bail, as and for the purpose specified.
5. In a device of the class described, the combination of a handle composed of two portions disposed at substantially right angles to each other, a groove-like recess in the underside of both portions, a two-link member arranged in said recess and Hush with the handle, one end of the two-link member being pivoted to the handle and the remainder being removable therefrom, a cap or ferrule slidably arranged 011 the end of the handle, a lock recessed in the handle adjacent the cap, the cap normally covering the lock and free end of said recessed linkmember, and being slidable to expose the lock and the free end of the link member, as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, this 20th day of September, 1912, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
