Description
C. W. MARTIN.
UMBRELLA.
APPLICATION FILED NOV. 7. I918.
' Patented Jan. 13, 1920;
I INVENTIOR 6 7701/1266 Wflfdrizn ATTORN EY CHARLES W. MARTIN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
UMBRELLA.
Application filed November 7, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES W. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Umbrellas, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to umbrellas and more particularly to notch and runnerconstruction thereof and has for its primary object the provision of means for simplifying the operation of repairing the umbrella in the event of accidental separation of the stretchers from the runner or the ribs from the notch, said means being of such form and design whereby should one of the ribs become disconnected from the notch it will not be necessary to entirely disconnect the remaining ribs from the notch to effect proper repairing, the same functioning of parts being true also of the runner and stretchers.
Another object of the invention resides in the provision of an umbrella construction whereby should any one of the stretchers become dislocated from the runner or any one of the ribs disconnected from the notch, means will be employed for maintaining confinement of the stretcher or rib as the case may be and eliminate possibility of its accidental penetration through the canopy or cover of the umbrella.
Figure 1 is a vertical section through a portion of an umbrella showing my improved notch and mating runner associated therewith and with the stretchers and ribs.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the runner.
Fig. 3 is a section through a portion of the runner showing the position of the stretcher when separated from the fastening member.
Fig. 4 is a perspective View of a portion of the runner on an enlarged scale showing the stretcher retaining member.
In carrying the invention into practice, use is made of a notch 10, the same consisting of a stick receiving sleeve 11, and a plurality of radially disposed pairs of ears or lugs 12, which are arranged to under-lie a crown portion 13. Said crown portion is provided with a peripheral flange l lwhich partly surrounds the ears 12 for a purpose to be hereinafter described. The ears of each pair are provided with alined perforations which are adapted to register with the perforations 16 of the ribs 17. The ribs are adapted to be sewed or otherwise suitably Specification of Letters Patent. Patented J {ML 13 1920..
Serial No. 261,503.
secured in any Well known manner to the covering or canopy of the umbrella and each rib is mounted for pivotal movement from one set or pair of mentioned ears 12 by means of a wire retainer 18. This retainer preferably consists normally of a straight length of' wire adapted to be freely threaded through the perforations in the ears and stretchers and then upset at its ends as at 19. The ends 19 are therefore freely bendable and should any one of the ribs become temporarily disconnected from the notch, it obviously follows that it may be quickly and conveniently repaired without requiring the exercise of any considerable mechanical ingenuity.
The runner 20' is provided with a crown portion 21, and a central sleeve 22. Pairs of ears 23 radiate from the sleeve portion and as shown, the ears of each pair are pro vided with alined perforations 24 adapted to register with similar perforations 25 in the ends of the stretchers 26. The crown 21 is provided with a peripheral flange 27 which surrounds the ears 23 as clearly shown in the drawings. The edge of the flange terminates with respect to the perforations of the ears so as to permit the stretchers to freely swing from the retainers 28. The retainers 28 in this instance are similar to the retainers 18 previously referred to, one being provided for each pair of ears and a mating stretcher.
The flanges 14 and 27 operate as guards to hold the free disconnected terminals of the stretchers and ribs against outward swinging movement should said stretchers and ribs become accidentally dislocated from their supporting notch and runner.
From the construction described, it will be apparent that should any one of the ribs or stretchers become broken or injured t0. the extent that the umbrella is rendered unfit for use, the ear construction and mating fastening elements provide for an expeditious restoration of such parts to their normal forms, it being understood that the fasteners may be conveniently removed from or connected with the stretchers and ribs and the mating runner and notch as the occasion may necessitate and without the exercise of any appreciable effort or labor.
What I claim is An umbrella structure embodying a runner having a plurality of spaced pairs of ears, stretchers having their inner ends extending between said ears, a flange extendgles thereto to provide pockets for the "ends of the stretchers, a. retainer eonr ecting g' thestfthefs and ears; "ed'nibinatidn' with w notch and a stick operatitrely associated with said runner and notch, as and for the pur- In testimony whereof I have afiixed my Signature.
