BODY ATTACHED MBRELLA Filed April 22, 1946 I u vento r `LIIHSIEIEE- Thurnn A. Atto meys Patented Jan.. 13, 1948 UNiED STATES PATENT OFFICE BODY ATTACHED UMBRELLA Ulysses Thornton, Chicago, Ill.
Application April 22, 1946, Serial No. 664,097
1 Claim. 1
The primary aim of the present invention is to provide a protective device of the afore-described character which will be particularly useful to persons required to :be exposed to inclement weather and who are required to use their hands and arms thereby making it impossible for such persons to carry a conventional umbrella.
Still a further object of the invention is to provide a body supported umbrella of extremely simple construction capable of being quickly and easily applied to or removed from the person of the wearer.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter become more fully apparent from the following description of the drawing which illustrates a preferred embodiment thereof, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational View showing the body attached umbrella in an applied position;
Figure 2 is a side elevational view thereof;
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially along the line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a perspective View of a part of the umbrella frame;
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially along the plane of the line 5-5 of Figure 2; and
Figure 6 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially along a plane as indicated by the line 6 6 of Figure 3.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 7 designates the body attached umbrella in its entirety; said umbrella including a convexo-concave frame designated generally 8. The frame 8 includes a plurality of longitudinally bowed radially disposed supporting ribs 9 connected where they intersect at the apex of the frame 8 by fastening means I0. Said frame 8 is formed of any suitable metal and includes a ring II forming the base thereof, to which the ends of the ribs are connected by being bent therearound and soldered as seen at I2 in Figure 6. The frame 8 provides a support for a piece of water-proof fabric I3 which is stretched thereover and the edge of which is turned back upon itself around the base ring II and attached in any desired manner.
The frame 8 is supported by pairs of corresponding uprights I4 as best illustrated in Figure 4. Each of the pair of uprights I4 is formed from a single strand of heavy gauge wire or the like, the terminals of which are fastened to strips I5, which, in turn, are secured between pairs of strips I5 by fastenings Il. 'Ihe ring II is secured between the upper ends of strips I6 by other fastenings I'I. The intermediate portion of each of the supports I4 is bent to provide a transversely disposed, upwardly bowed shoulder engaging member I8. The shoulder engaging members I8 each terminate at their ends in U-shaped portions or loops I9. One leg of each portion I9 is formed by the lower end of an upright I4.
The frame 8 and its covering I3 is supported in position above the head of the user, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 through engagement of the portions I8 with the shoulders of the wearer. To maintain the -umbrella in applied position, a body engaging belt 20 of any suitable material, such as leather or fabric, encircles the chest of the wearer, beneath the armpits and is detachably secured across the chest by means of a buckle or other suitable clasp 2|. As best illustrated in Figure 2, the belt 20 extends through the U-shaped portions I9 and is fastened thereto in any suitable manner as by stitching at 22. The legs of the shoulder engaging portions I8 and the lower portions of the uprights I4 are disposed at the front and back of the shoulders of the wearer, as seen in Figures 1 and 2. The uprights I4 may be flared outwardly intermediate of their ends to any extent, depending upon the diameter of the frame 8.
The edge of the covering may be clamped to the ring I I by the upper ends of the strips I6, if desired.
From the foregoing it will be readily apparent that the umbrella 'I may be demounted from the person of the wearer by unfastening the buckle or clasp 2I and sliding the shoulder engaging portion I8 off of the arms of the wearer. In view of the foregoing, a further description of the operation and use of the umbrella is considered unnecessary.
Various modifications and changes are contemplated and may obviously be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined by the appended claim,
I claim:
In a body attached umbrella, supporting means comprising two strands of relatively heavy gauge wire, each of said strands having an upwardly bowed intermediate portion forming a shoulder engaging member and upwardly extending end portions forming supporting legs diverging upwardly from the ends of the shoulder engaging member thereof, said strands being provided with loops, at the junctions of the shoulder engaging members and legs, a body encircling belt connected to said loops for maintaining the shoulder REFERENCES CITED The following references are of reoord in the file of this patent:
