IINTTED STATES PATENT FFICEO MARK A. DEES OF SORANTON, MISSISSIPPI.

COMBINED CANE AND UMBRELLA.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,312, dated May 10, 1881.

Application filed January 15, 1881.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MARK A. DEES, a citizen of the United States, resident at Scranton, in the county ofJackson and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Umbrellas and (lanes and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawin g, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which forms apart of this specification, in which the figure is a vertical section.

This invention relates to umbrellas and canes combined.

The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described,and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing hereto annexed, A represents an umbrella containing my invention.

The stick B is composed of two parts the end I) and the cane C. To the end 11' the ribs are fastened in the usual manner. Upon this end 1), within the ribs, there is fastened a tube, D, having a slot, d. Pivoted below this slot at c is a catch, E, which is held through this slot by a spring, F, its head 0 projecting inward.

G is a bead for the lower catch to engage to hold the umbrella raised.

To the outside of the lower tube, 1?, to which the lower ends of the braces are fastened, is attached the catch H, whose head It engages bead G, and is held down by a spring, I.

(No model.)

The cane Chas at one end the handle 0, and at the other the ferrule K, with the flange k. This cane is to be run through the lowertube up into the upper one, D, and when in place the catch E engages the flange k of ferrule K and prevents the cane from slipping out.

To withdraw the cane it is only necessary to release the catch E and pull the cane from the tubes.

This device furnishes a combined umbrella and cane which can be quickly put together or separated, so that either article is ready for use with very little trouble in making a change.

A combined umbrella and caneis not broadly new, and protection is asked only for the improved construction of the same hereinshown and described and hereinafter specifically claimed.

What I claim is- In a combined umbrella and cane, the combination, with the tube D,slotted at cl, and provided with the pivoted catch E, and the bead G, and having the ribs of the umbrella pivoted to the upper end of the said tube, of the lower tube, P, havin g pivoted catch H and the bracerods, and the stick B, having the flanged ferrule K 70 at its point, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

MARK ASHLEY DEES.
