" ATTACHMENT FORVPARASOL Ann UMBRELLA HANDLES.
- This invention relates to improvementsin attachments for parasols andv umbrellas or the like, and specifically has to dowith im provements embodying means for securin saidparasol orumbrella in closed position. ,The principal object of the invention resides inthe production of a device adapted tobe secured 'to the supporting stem or shank portion of an umbrella ,ora parasolf vwherebytlielsame may be conveniently supported from the wrist. I a i Another object of the invention is to provide means for securing the tips of the ribs of the umbrella or parasol within the device folded position. i
Still another object resides in theyprovision of reciprocating means adapted to cooperate with certain other parts to affect the object aforesaid. I j
A further .ob 'ect of this invention is ,to provide a device of the above described character that can bepapplied to allforms of umbrella or parasols without changing or injuring the same. y p a Other'object-s or advantages will be. apparent as the nature ofthe invention is better set forth, and it willbe understood that changes within the scopeof the claims may be resorted-t0 without departing from the spirit of the invention. i
In order that the invention maybe better understood, reference ishad to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification. and in which: a 'j Figure 1 'is a side elevation of the device applied .to the handle of an]umbrellaor parasol.
. 1 Fig. 2 is a central longitudinalsectional view, thereof, certain movable parts being in the position they would assume werethe umbrella or parasol in open position.
- 1 Fig. '3' is aview like unto Fig. 2, but here certain movable parts are shown retarded and exerting sufiicient pressure upon the, ribs ofthe umbrella or parasol to hold the same in closedpositiomand Fig. 4 is a central longitudinalsectional 'viewof a slightlymodifiedv form ofhandle embodying the spirit of the invention.
The present day umbrellas, so far as I am aware, are notprovided with means for retaming the IlbS of an umbrellaor parasol Application flle d May 29,

in close relation to the handle portion. of the same aside from the wellknown strap. which encircles the lower portion of the umbrella 1 cover for the purpose of holding thesame in closed position. This method, since it has been adopted and is still being used in am older forms of parasols or umbrellas isproof that it has served its purpose adhandle, neat and attractive in appearance and especially adapted for hereinbetore set forth.
My invention therefore contemplates the the purpose embodimentof means for the reception of the rib tips of the umbrella andsincesaid ribs, when in folded position, have a tend- 'encyt-o expand outwardly, this slight pressure is taken advantage of and materially assists the successful operation of my device.
vI further provide my device with'reciprocatory means 'whichmay be retarded sufficiently so that the folding of the ribs may clear said means, and when contiguous to the handle, saidmeans may be automatically advanced and thus the ribs are held in closed position. Referringlnow more specifically tothe accompanying drawings, let the numeral 5 denote generally my improved handle, which is composite in nature and comprises essentiallythe body portion 6, having one end recessed and threaded to receive the han- .CllGiPOltlOIl 7 of an umbrella or parasol, the
other end of said body portionis reduced in diameter to form a shank portion 8, the
outer end thereof being threaded into the knob 9, as clearly shown in Fig.2. Said knob 9 may be apertured as indicated at 10 to receive a loop llfor the obvious purpose of conveniently transporting the article from place to place. This latter arrange- .ment, of course, is more orless arbitrary, as said knob 9 may be prov ded with a screw practically any attaching axial bore 13, for the reception of the shank 1 1 portion 8, the same being increased in diameter, as indicated at 1 1, to define a shoul- 'der 15,;upon which abuts one end of a coiled may lie against thefhandle spring'16, the latterencircling said shank portion 8, and bearing against the lower face of said knob 9. The bore 13 of said movable part 12 is further increased in diameter, as indicated at 17, into which partly extends the lower portion 9 of-said knob 9. i
'Upon inspection of Fig. 2, served that the spring 16 is holding the part 12 against the shoulder 6?, presented by the reduction of the body portion Gin the development of said shank portion 8, or in other words, the shoulder- 6 limits theforward movementof the part 12, as is well understood Y a Fig. 3 of the drawings shows the tips of the rib R secured by the movable part 12, said tips fitting within the socket 18. It will now be clearly understood that when the ribs are brought downvto folded position, the tips thereof willlie adjacent to the outer periphery of the part- 12, and it is necessary toretract said part in order to permit the further folding of said tips toward the handle 7 andjunder such circumstances, it is only necessary to grasp the part 12 and draw same rearwardly,whereupon the tips 7, and when in this position, saidpart 12 may be released and under the influence of the spring 16 will assume the position shown in Fig. 3, and thus secure the tips of the ribs from outward displacement. The action here is really twofold in that the spring 16'is constantly urging. the part 12 against the tips of the ribs, whereas the slight resilient action of the ribs themselves cause the same to exert slight pressure against the sides of the socket 1S.
\Vhen the umbrella or parasol is .to be opened, it is only necessary to again retract the part 12, the inherent springy nature of the ribs causing the tips thereof to emerge from the socket 18, whereupon, the movable part may again assume the position shown in Fig. 2 and the umbrella raised as desired.
The slight modification depicted in Fig.4 is very similar to the preferred form exhib ited in Figs. 1 to 3, inclusive and has really been designed to disclose a fanciful exterior delineation, of the handle'proper. Here the body portion 20 is provided with a socket portion 21, the exterior portion thereof sweeping from the base of said body portion 20 to define a very graceful curvature. the
exterior, portion between the socket and the upper part of the handle has been neatly and attractively formed to appeal to the feminine taste. As in my preferred form, said body portion 20 is transversely apertured, as indicatedat- 22, for the reception of any desired supporting means either in it will be Ob-1 the form of a loop or otherwise. The body portion is provided with an axial bore 23 extending a suitable distance therein and as distinguished from myprcferred form, said Y a stem 24:. which is of lesser diameter than the bore 23 andcarries on its upper end a head portion25,- the latter having a diameter equal to that ofithe bore. The outer endof said stem'24; is provided wit-ha collar 25 which is recessed and threaded as indicated at 26 for the reception ofthe handle 7 of the umbrella or parasol. A. sleeve 27 is fitted within thebore 23, havinn its outer end extending within the socket 21. whilefits, other end terminates short ofthe base portion of the bore 23 sothat the end thereof forms a shoulder portion against which abuts. a spring 28, further engaging the lower surface of the collar 25..The collar 25", positioned. at the outer endof saidstem 24.'abuts the end of the sleeve 27Qand serves to limit the inward movement of saidstem 24, under the influence of the spring 28. Of course, it is quite apparent that .the othercollar'25 might equally serve as well in that it may engage the end of the bore 23, but I prefer permits me toip'ositively regulate the movement of the stem. as I do not think I can safely rely uponthe equal depth of the bore in each instance. The collar 25 further serves as a brace for the handle when the i,
umbrella or parasol is open and subject to windpressure.
In the operation of this modified form,
when it is desired to close the umbrella. it is only necessary to draw rearwardly on the portion 20 until the tips of the ribs clear the socketed portion 21 and then upon release "of the part20, said tips are snugly nested within the socket 21 and held therein.
The illustration .inFig. ,1 shows the exterior of my improved handle devoidof any attempt. of artistic ornamentation; but of course, it will beunderstood that colorsand designs may be embodied therewith in order to an umbrella or parasol and having a' shank portion reduced in diameter to present a shoulder intermediate the ends of said body portion, aknob carried by the upper to introduce the, collar 725 since it ,really' end of said shank portion, a reciprocatory member having a socket portion and having an axial bore adapted to receive said shank portion, said bore being increased in diameter to define a shoulder and furtherincreased in diameter to slidably receive againstthe shoulder in said body portion, the lower reduced portion of said knob and said second shoulder cooperating with and to define a seco'ndshoulder and tension the inner face of said knob to limit the outer 0 ing means positioned Within the 'lust-lnensliding movement of said reciprocatory 6 t-ioned bore abutting the first-named shoulder member. and the face of said knob, said tensioning In testimony whereof I affix my signature. means constantly urging said body port-ion AARON BERKOWITZ.
