CHARLES A. HORN, OF VJ'OODHAVEN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-FOURTH TO W. EVERI'IT, OF EAST ORANGE, NEW JERSEY, AND ONE-FOURTH TO HAROLD E. LOMIBARD, OF BLOOMFIELD, NEW JERSEY.
ATTACHMENT FOR UMBRELLAS.
Application filed June 30, 1917.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. HORN, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, residing at \Voodhaven, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachments for Umbrellas, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to produce an umbrella rib retainer for securing the upper or free ends of the ribs of an umbrella when it is in closed position which will be sightly in appearance, inexpensive to manufacture and which may be readily applied to the types of umbrella that are in universal use.
Figure l is a longitudinal sectional view of the attachment and showing the ends of the ribs of the umbrellas in secured position.
Fig. 2 is another longitudinal sectional view of the attachment out of engagement with the ribs of the umbrella, and
Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the sleeve.
Referring to the drawings for a detailed description of the invention, 1 indicates the umbrella stick or rod and 2 the handle which is seen to be secured to the rod in the usual manner. A cup-shaped member 3 is provided with an opening in the bottom thereof and which is adapted to seat upon the rod 1. A washer 4 is adapted to fit upon the rod 1 and abut against the lower end of the handle 2. The cup-shaped member 3 is adapted to fit against the washer 4. A similar washer 5 is adapted to fit upon the rod 1 and against the inside of the cup-shaped member 3 when it is in adjusted position. A pin 6 extends through the rod and secures the parts in position. It will be seen that members 4: and 5 and rod 1 provide a seat in which the cup-shaped member 3 is adapted to be secured and in which it may be rotated to effect the desired adjustment of the device.
A sleeve member 7 is provided and is adapted to be moved up and down upon the rod 1. This sleeve member 7 has a slot 8 therein in which the pin 9 is adapted to move. \Vhen the sleeve 7 is moved upwardly or downwardly it will be seen that the pin 9 moving in the slot will prevent rotation of Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 1, 1918. Serial No. 177,918.
the sleeve. The lower end of the sleeve member 7 is flared forming a recess or receptacle 10 in which the upper or free ends of the ribs 11 are adapted to be engaged when the umbrella is in closed position. The adjacent faces of the sleeve 7 and cup-shaped member 3 have screw- threads 12, 13, which are adapted to engage and to move the sleeve member 7 down and up into or out of engagement with the free end of the ribs of the umbrella upon rotation of the cupshaped member in the proper direction.
In Fig. 2 a substantially U-shaped type of pin is shown, with ends 14 and 15 projecting through the rod, which is adapted to perform the functions of the pins 6 and 9. Its use will facilitate the assembling of the device.
The member 16 is provided in the rod member to limit the downward movement of the sleeve 7, to effectually prevent the sleeve from being forced against the ends of the ribs or moved out of place. The sleeve 7 has a recess 17 therein, which may readily pass under the threads in the cup member and its surface will not be scratched and made unsightly. The shoulder 18 serves to limit the upward movement of the sleeve.
A portion of the outer surface of the cupshaped member may be knurled to prevent slipping of the hand of a person when operating the device.
What I claim is:
1. An attachment for umbrellas compris-.
ing in combination, an umbrella stick, a cylindrical member rotatably secured to the same near the point where the ends of the ribs lie when the umbrella i closed, a member with a cup shaped end in threaded engagement with the cylindrical member and means for preventing its rotation about the stock but permitting its longitudinal movement thereon whereby it may be moved into or out of the position where it incloses the ends of the ribs by the rotation of the cylinorical member.
2. An umbrella attachment comprising in combination, a cylindrical member secured to the stick in fixed longitudinal but free rotatable relation, a cup shaped member in threaded engagement with the cylindrical member, and a pin extending from the stick into a longitudinal groove in the cup shaped member, whereby the rotation of the cylindrical member will move the cup shaped member forward or back with respect to the point where the ends of the ribs lie when the umbrella is closed.
3. An attachment for umbrellas comprising, in combination, a rod, a handle secured to the rod, means mounted on the said rod and forming therewith a seat for a rotatable member, a cup-shaped member rotatably secured in the said seat, a member mounted on the rod having its lower end flared forming a rec'essfor receiving and securing the free ends of the ribs of an umbrella, screwthreads on the adjacent faces of the said 15 sleeve and cup-shaped member adapted to cooperate upon rotation of the cup-shaped member to move the sleeve up or down out of or into engagement with the free ends of the umbrella when in closed position, the sleeve formed with a recess therein, means secured on the rod adapted to engage in the said recess and prevent rotation of the sleeve and means on the said rod adapted to limit the downward movement of the sleeve.
In testimony whereof I afi'ix my signature.
CHARLES A. HORN.
Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Gommissioner of Patent; Washington, D. C.
It is hereby certified that the name of the first-mentioned assignee in Letters Patent No. 1,251,526, granted January 1, 1918,,upon the application of Charles A.
Horn, of l/Voodhaven, New York, for an improvement in Attachments for Umbrellas, should have been Written and printed as W. Everett Bundle, instead of W. Everitt, as shown by the records of assignments in this ofiice; and that the said Letters Patent should be read with this correction therein that the same may conform to the record of the case in the Patent Office.
