Patented Jan. 6, 1920.
Original application filed February 8, 1917', Serial No. 147,442. Divided and this application filed December To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that T, OnvrLLE J. HrMns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oswego, in the county of Oswego and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrella- Staifs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved umbrella staff for use in connection with a folding umbrella and is a divisional application from the structure shown in the application filed February 8th, 1917, Serial #147 ,fl-12. The principal object of the invention is to provide an umbrella staff for use in connection with a folding umbrella such as shown in the application referred to, the staff being so constructed that it may be folded into a plurality of parts thus permitting the umbrella to be folded into a compact mass.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved type of joint for the parts forming the staff.
Another object of the invention is to so construct this staff that a single latch may be used for locking a plurality of sections against movement thus making it unnecessary to provide a separate latch at each joint. Y
Another object of the invention is to provide a staff which will be strong and durable and not liable to collapse when the umbrella is in a raised position.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a view in side elevation showing the improved stad in an extended position Fig. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view through the improved staff, the handle of the umbrella being shown in elevation, and
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view showing the joint construction intermediate the length of the staff,
Fig. 4: is a fragmentary view in elevation showing the staff folded,
Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the inner joint of the staff folded, and
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view through the handle section shown in Fig. 4l.
The staff of this umbrella is formed in sections 15, 16 and 17, the handle section carrying the handle 1S, and a core 19 being slidably mounted in the section 16 and pro- Serial No. 205,363.
vided at its inner end with a tongue 20 having a socket formed therein. The outer end of the core is connected with a coupling block 21 sliding' in the section 16 and limited in its outward sliding movement by a pin 22 positioned in a slot 23 formed in the staff section 16 as shown in Fig. 3. This coupling 21 is connected with the reduced end portion or core 24 of the staff section 15 by a link 25, the reduced end portion 211 of the section 15 being of proper size to iit into the section 16 when the staff straightened and the section 16 moved toward the section 15. It should be noted that the section 15 is cut to provide an inclined abutment shoulder 26 conforming in contour to the end of the section 16 as shown in Fig. 3 thus providing a lock which will prevent rotary movement of the two sections when the stai is in the extended position shown in Fig. 1.
In the opposite end portion of the section 1 6 there is provided a slot 27 through which extends the bill 28 and standard or pivot 29 of the latch 30. This latch is carried by the coupling or block 31 and from an inspection of Fig. 2, it will be readily seen that when the section 15, and the link 32, block 31 and section 17 move into the section 16 as far as permitted by the bill of the latch 30, the bill of this latch will pass into the socket 2O thus locking the pawl against longitudinal movement in the section 16. Therefore the single latch 30 may serve to releasably hold the section 17 and the section 16r against movement lwhen in the extended position for use. It should be further noted that the section 17 is provided with an abutment shoulder 33 which will operate with the inclined cut end of the section 16 to prevent rotary movement of the two sections. This removes strain from the latch and prevents slipping.
lVhen in use, this staff may be left in the extended position and the umbrella used as an ordinary umbrella but if it is desired to ,fold the umbrella, the latch 30 will be pressed to draw the locking pin out of the socket of tongue 20 and the section 15 and handle 18 then grasped and the handle drawn to draw the sections 16 and 17 outwardly. The joints will then be positioned in an extended position, with the links 32, and 25 between the sections and the handle section and section 16 can then be folded.
The stai can then be folded into a compact mass and will take up a very small amount of room. When lit is desired tohave the stattx extended, it is simply necessary to swing the section 16 and handle outwardly and then move the section 16 and handle toward section 15. The section 16 will move onto the reduced end portion or core 24: of the section 15 and the handle or outer section 17 will move into the section 16. The latch will be raised by the curved end of the tongue 2O and will drop into the socket of this tongue under the action of the spring 34e. I have therefore provided an umbrella stalll so constructed that the three sections may be secured in a locked position by a single latch and have further provided a staff so constructed that the joints may not be injured by twisting.
What is claimed is z- 1. An umbrella including a staff, comprising an end section, a handle section, and an intermediate section, a core slidably moiuited in the intermediate section, a coupling block pivotally connected with said core and extending beyond one end of the interme diate section when drawn outwardly, a link pivotally connecting said coupling `block with a reduced end of the end section7 the link and the reduced end of the end section fitting into the intermediate section when the statil is extended, a block slidably mounted in the opposite end portion of the intermediate section, a latch carried by the block and extending through a slot in the intermediate section to limit the outward movement of the block and engaging the core to handle section and moving into the intermediate section when the staff is extended.
2. An umbrella comprising a sta' formed in sections, one of said sections being tubular, a core slidably mounted in said tubular section, a block slidably mounted in said tubular section, a latch carried by the block for engaging the core to releasably hold the core against movement, links connecting the remaining sections with the core and block, andf an umbrella frame mounted upon the sta 3. A staff for an umbrella comprising an intermediate hollow section, a core slidably mounted in the intermediate section, a link connected with one end portion of the core, an end section having a reduced end connecte-d with the link and fitting into the hollow intermediate section, a handle section fitting into the opposite end portion of the intermediate section, a link connected with the handle section and positioned in the intermediate section, a latch Iblock pivotally connected with the last mentioned link, the inner end portion of the core being provided with a tongue extension having a socket therein, a latch holding pin extending from the block through a longitudinally extending slot in the intermediate section, and a latch carried by the latch pin and provided with a bill extending through the slot and through an opening in the block to engage the socket of the tongue and releasably hold the sections against longitudinal movement.
In testimony' whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
