UMBRELLA OR PARASOL SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 256,308, dated April 11, 1882.
in Germany May 18, 1881.
. To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JosEPH Fons'rnn, en gineer, a citizen of Austria, residing atVienna, in the Or'ownland of Nether-Austria and State of Austria Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrellas and Parasols, (Sunshades 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 drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
. The umbrellas and parasols made heretofore have been so constructed that the inclined ribbraces prevent the top or center of the umbrella from being held near the head, and as this requires the umbrella to be held very high it does not afford as much protection as it would'if it could be held lower.
The object of my invention is to avoid the above defects.
The invention consists in an umbrella or parasol provided with a support formed of four rods pivoted to each other at the ends, the upper ends of the upper rods being pivoted to the middleof the umbrella-top frame and the lower ends of the lower rods being pivoted to each other at the handle end of the umbrellasupport, these several rods beingprovided with braces and binding-rods and locking-springs, as will be fully described hereinafter. I
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a cross-sectional elevation of my improved umbrella or parasol, showing it raised or opened. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal side elevation of the upper parts of the pivoted rods, showing them folded. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal side elevation of the same in a similar position, parts being in section, Fig. 2 is a section on line a: a: of Fig. 2. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal front and side elevation of themiddle joint-plate at the middle of the umbrella- Fig. 4. is a longitudinal elevation of one of the side joint-plates at the top ofthe Application filed January 3, 1882. (No model.) Patented in Austria July 30, 1819, and April 12, 1880, in Hungary July 30, 1879, and
April 12, 1880, in England June 11, 1880, in France August 25,
1880, in Belgium October 15, 1880, in Italy October 16, 1880, and
umbrella. Fig. 5 isalongitudinaliront eleva- 0 opened. Fig. 8 is a longitudinal elevation of 1 the same and two of the rib-bracing rods piv oted to the same. Fig. 9 is a plan view of the top of the umbrella, showing it opened or raised.
The four rods A. B O D are pivoted to each other at the ends and carry the umbrella-top A. The upper rods, (J and D, are beveled at their upper ends, as shown in Fig. 2, and are provided with recesses, into which a metal plate, a, of the shape shown in Fig. 3,.passes.
Parallel with each surface'of the plate a a metal plate, b, is placed, these plates being re-. moved in Fig. 2. The upper ends of the rods G D are pivoted to these metal plates a and b by pintles 1 and 2 passed transversely through the plates a and b and through the upper-ends of the rods G D. The check-stud 3pre'v'ents the rods U D from being spread too far'and the lug a. prevents them from being brought together closer than necessary. The upper narrower part, M, of the plateotserves to receive the crown-plate c and the umbrella-point 0 The crown-plate c is ofthe usual construction, and is provided with the usual devices for holding the ribs a, and the cap 0, soldered to the crown-plate, is placed over the upper. narrower part, a", of the plate a. Then the umbrellapoint a is inserted in the cap 0, and the several parts are united by means of the pintle 4.
For the purpose of holding the rods A, B,
U, and D in; the proper position when the umbrella. is raised the rods 0 D are united by brace-rods E, having one end pivoted to the rod D by means of the pintle 5 and the other end pivoted by pintle 6 to the lugsd of the sliding sleeve 0 on the rod 0, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 2.
Between the lugs or jaws d a latch-lever, f, provided with a transverse socket, g, is loosely mounted on the pintle 6. The :upper end of this lever is provided with a slot, h, into which :1 lug or stud, h, of the red 0 passes when the umbrella-top is raised.
One end of the lever f is provided with a spring, hby the action of which the upper slotted end of the leverfis pressed against the red C, so that when the sleeve 0 slides up the rod 0 the lug or stud h of this rod 0 will snap into the slot It of the leverf, whereby the rods E will be locked in position and will hold the rods 0 and D separated. The rods A and B, to the upper ends of which the rods 0 D are pivoted, are united at their lower ends by a hinge, i, and at their upper ends they are provided withhinge-platesj, held on these rods A B by rivets or tacks 7 and S, and on the lower ends of the rods 0 and D by a pintle, 9, whereby hinged joints are formed. The meetingends of the rods A, B, C, and D are cut out or recessed, so as to overlap each other, the inner parts of the upper rods, (3 and D, and the outer parts of the lower rods, A B,
being cut away, as shown in Fig. 2. In view of the construction and combination of the rods A, B, G, and I), described above, these rods can be swung or turned on their pintles are provided for the purpose of holding the of wire pintles.
sleeves l l in position when the umbrella or parasol is opened.
The sleeves l l, Figs.1, 7 and 8, are provided at their upper ends with lugs or jaws l l, to
' springs 76 k snap into the slots 0 0 ofthe sleeves l l and rest against the rings at the upper ends of these sleeves, as shown in Fig. 1. The handle of the umbrella or parasol support consists of two parts, 111), united by the joint '5, (which thus pivots the rods A and B to each other,) and if desired the handle parts and the rods A and B can be made integral, or the handle parts can be screwed on or otherwise attached to the lower ends of these rods.
The handle part is provided with a buttonstud, q, to which an elastic band, 1', is attached,
which serves to hold the parts of the umbrella or parasol together when the same is closed.
The pivoted rods A and G andB and D form two rods provided with ajoint at or above the middle, permitting of folding of the rods,which are pivoted to each other at the top and bottom, parallel with each other when the umclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1.
