SHOULDER SUNSHADE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 288,115, dated November 6, 1883.

Application filed February 24, 1883.

invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sunshades; and I do 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.

, Figure 1 of the drawings is a side view of my sunshade, and Fig. 2 is a rear view, partly in section.

This invention has relation to improvements on shoulder sunshades; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of devices, as hereinafter set forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims appended.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the main support, having the downward extension B, forming a breast-bearing. The uprights aa of this frame are at their ends turned outwardly to form bearin gs for the eyes i b at the ends of the ribs 0, said eyes I) and ribs 0 being entirely covered and protected by the outer shade-cover, cl, and the lining c. Flanged sleeve-bearings f are provided on the horizontal portions of the arms to within the canopy, the flanged ends of which bear against the lining at the joint formed: by the eyes of the ribs, and serve to hold the ribs from springing inward. The ribs are held from springing outward by means of the brass or copper washers g, which are put on the arms a, and are held in position by annularly indenting the metal of the arm, so as to upset it against the margin of the eye of the washer, as indi cated at h.

The horizontal portions of the arms a are extended outwardly, as indicated at a, to receive the end bearings, k, of the crescentshaped reversible shade-extension O, which may be made removable, or may be permanently connected "to the main frame. This extension is usually provided with a middle stay, Z.

On the main arms a of the frame are provided loop-bearings m, for the passage of the (Modem the canopy at any angle to which it is adjusted.

F represents the bow-shaped rear hearing,

which is pivoted or hinged to the main frame,

and is designed to extend back over the shoulders far enough to act as a stop, preventing the canopy from coming in contact with the back of the wearer and folding prematurely.

.The bow-frame F is provided with eyes or bearings c for the shoulder-cord p, which is connected by its ends to the breast-extension of the supporting-frame on each side. This cord 10 serves to hold the bow-frame in position when the shade is in use, and automatically conforms to the shoulders of the wearer. The bow-frame is provided with a rear staycord, 0", which extends upward, and is connected to the back rib of the canopy, and serves to raise the bow-frame into position for use, and at the same time to prevent the canopy from tipping too for forward.

Attached to the how-frame is a transverse neck cord or guard, s, which bears against the back of the neck, and is usuallyprovided with a pendent stay, .8, which is adj nstable, and is designed to be connected to the waist-band. It serves to prevent the shade from falling forward when the wearer is in a stooping position. It is usually provided with a fasteninglink, which can be adjusted in either direction to lengthen or shorten the stay.

Having described this invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

1. The combination,with the main supporting-fralne and'the ribs connected to the arms thereof, of the canopy-covering and the lining inclosing and protecting the ribs, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with the arms of the supporting-frame and the canopy-ribs, of the flanged sleeve -beaiings f, substantially as specified.

3. The crescent-shaped reversible extension "0, connected to the arms of the main supporting-frame, substantially as specified.

4. The combination, with the canopy and its supporting-frame, of a reversible shadeexte'ns'ion having a stay, substantially as specified.

5. The combination, with the bracing-cords n and the bearings m on the main supporting frame, of the links or hooks b, as specified.

6. The combination, with the supportingarms of the main frame and the bracing-cords n, of movable brakes on said arms, substantially as specified.

7. The bow-frame connected to the main supporting-frame and extending'baek to form a stop to prevent the canopy from touching the back of the wearer, substantially as specified.

8. The rearwardlyextended bowframe F, having a shoulder-cord extending through eyes or bearings thereof, and connected by its ends to the sides of the breast-extension of the main supporting-frame, substantiallyas specified.

9. The combination, with the canopy and the rearwardlyextended bow-frame F, of the stay-cord a", substantially as specified.

the canopy and its transverse neclcguard, of

a pendent Waiststay having an adjustable link-fastening, substantially as specified.

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