IRVING SONNENTHAL, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
UMBRELLA.
Application filed March 17, 1916, Serial No. 84,806. Renewed February 20, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, IRVING SONNENTHAL, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county of Bronx and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Umbrella, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are: to reinforce the braces of umbrellas; to furnish struts for the braces of an umbrella, said struts being adapted for assuming automatically the preferred service position; to provide a lock for preserving the relation of the braces and struts independently of the ribs of the umbrella; and to provide a simple and eflicient means for'raising and lowering the umbrella.
Drawings.
Figure 1 is a vertical section of an umbrella showing the cover, the ribs, braces, and reinforcing struts therefor;
Fig. 2 is a detail view partly in section, showing fragments of an umbrella cane, crown ring, ribs, braces, struts, and means for locking the braces and struts in service relation;
Fig. 3 is a side view of the same showing parts in elevation, the view being taken as indicated by the arrow a in Fig. 2;
Fig. 1 is a detail view showing a sliding connection between the struts and braces constructed and arranged as per the present invention;
Fig. 5 is a skeleton view showing the struts in partially lowered position;
Fig. 6 is a skeleton view showing the struts and braces partially collapsed, and the ribs of an umbrella in a partially lowered or folded position;
Fig. 7 is a skeleton view of an umbrella frame constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention, the frame being shown in its folded position.
Description.
In the present invention, the
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 9, 1918.
Serial No. 218,373.
I The struts 26 are pivotally connected to a crown ring 27 at the upper end of the sleeve 18. The struts are slidably connect.- ed with the braces 16. and to this end each of said struts is provided with a clip 28, each clip 28 being pivotally connected by a pin 29 to one of the struts 26, as seen best in Fig. 4 of the drawings.
Operation.
When the umbrella frame is thus constructed, the operation of raising and lowering it, is as follows:
From the folded position shown in Fig. 7 of the drawings, theparts are moved by. the operator releasing the latch 23 in the usual manner, as by depressing the same with his thumb below the flange 24 of the thimble 17 The thimble 17 is then lifted until it engages a stop pin 30 set out from the sleeve 18, which position is shown in Fig. 6 of the drawings.
It will now be seen that the latch 23 has engaged the flange 25 at the bottom of the sleeve 18, and is holding the said sleeve to prevent. the same from lifting. It will also be noted that the clip 28 has moved from near the pivotal connection of the braces 16 with the ribs 12, as shown in Fig. 7, to ap proximately the center of the said braces.
To raise the umbrella cover, the operator releases the thimble 17 by depressing the latch 23. The thimble 17 and sleeve 18 are both elevated until the crown ring 27 is brought in contact with the crown 13. In this position of the sleeve 18, the bridge 31 is engaged by the latch 20. The operator now grasps the thimble 17 and depresses the same until the latch 19 engages the flange 24:
of the said thimble. This position is shown best in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings.
When the sleeve 18 has beenlifted to the position just described, the bridge 31 has passed over the latch 20 to be engaged therey to prevent the subsequent falling of the said sleeve. The operator now draws the thimble 17 downward until the latch 19 and the recess 34 therein engage the flange 24 of the said thimble. This position is shown in Figs. 1 and 2' of the drawings, which, it will be observed, is the service position of the sleeve 18, thimble 17, braces 16, and struts 26.
It will be observed that while the clip 28 freely slides on the braces 16 in correspondonce with the'movements of the thimble 17 and sleeve 18 just above described, when the struts 26 are in the position shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings, the clip 28 is not shifted by any movement imparted to the braces 16 by the operation of the ribs 12 or the cover 15 drawing thereon. In other words, the struts 16 disposed as shown, effectually reinforce the braces 16 to prevent the same from bending under the pressure of the ribs 12 and cover 15. I
When the operator desires to lower the umbrella, the operation is effected by depressing the latch out of engagement with the bridge 31. The sleeve 18 is now easily drawn down without moving the thimble 17, which remains supported by the latch 19. The elongated slot 32 through which the latch 19 extends passes freely.- When the upper edge of said slot is reached, the sleeve 18 overrides the upper inclined edge of the latch 19 and depresses the same, removing it from engagement with the flange 24 of the thimble 17. From this point, both the thinnble 17 and sleeve 18 are drawn downward, the operator transmitting his grasp from the sleeve 18 to the thimble 17 The thimble 17 Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner Washington, D. 0.
slides freely over the sleeve 18 until the flange 24 of the said thimble rests on the flange 25 of the said sleeve. The said thimble and sleeve are now moved together until passing over the latch 23; the same engages the flange 2 1 of the thimble 17 to effectively lock said thimble and sleeve and parts connected therewith in the position where the ribs 12 are folded close to and in relation with the cane 14.
Claims.
1. Anumbrella' comprising a plurality of rib-supporting braces; a movable hollow thimble pi-votally connectedv with said braces; a sleeve slidably mounted in said thimble; a plurality of struts pivotally connected to said sleeve above said thimble; and
means for slidably uniting said braces and said struts. V
2. In an umbrella, the combination of a cane; a sleeve slidably mounted on said.
rality of struts each slidably-connected with one of said braces and with said'sleeve; and means for maintaining the service position of said struts relative to said braces.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
