STAND FOR UIVIBRELLAS.

PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 307,193, dated October 28, 1884.

Application filed January 14,1884. (No model.)

To ctZZ whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, FRANK R. HAZELTON,

. a citizen of the United States, residing at (loir cord, in the county of Merrima-c and State of New Hampshire, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Stand for Umbrellas and Parasols; and I hereby declare the following to be a clear and exact description of the same.

The object of my invention is to provide a stand for this purpose which is at once ornamental and substantial, and which is made readily adaptable to a counter or the floor of a store.

.The invention consists of two circular: disks mounted one abovethe other upon a central upright support, which is made of segment-s, part of which are `square and part round iron, the lower segment of which is so fitted within a suitable iron base as to revolve when desired.

I will here refer to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specicatiomin which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures, of which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of one of my improvedv stands constructed as intended for door use. Fig. 2 is a detail plan View of the lower disk or wheel, showing the circular depressions upon which umbrellas or parasols may rest. Fig. Srepresentsaverti'cal section of myimproved stand as constructed for use upon a store-counter. Fig. 4: is a detail of the upper disk, showing holes through which umbrellas may be passed. Fig. 5 is an equivalent wheel composed of a rim, spokes,and a centersocket for the reception of the upright column, as is provided in the other two. Fig. 6 is a detail of the wire pin,which rests in holes formed in either of the wheels, as is shown in Figs. l and 3.

A is the line of door or counter; B B,a cast iron base. C is the square upright rod,which revolves in the base, and is secured therein by the nut c. C is an extension to the center column,formed in two parts for convenience in packing, which` is used only upon the stand constructed for use upon the floor. D is the lower disk or wheel, and E E are the upper ones, the wheelE being perforated with holes of the proper size for the reception of umbrellas, and the wheel E being made more 'open by means of four or more spokes connecting the center with the rim.

F represents rods, of which there are four or more projecting from the ball f, and the outer ends of said rods are provided with ornamental balls f.

The pins G are composed of wire one-quarter inch (more or less) in diameter, one end of which is bent so as to form an eye, and the other being turned or filed down to t the small holes e', of which there may be from four to eight (more or less) in either or all of the disks or wheels D E E. These wheels D, E, and E are made three feet (more or less) in diameter, and the lower wheel, D, is provided with semi-spherical depressions d,which serve to keep the umbrellas or parasols separate from each other, and the upper wheel, E, is provided with holes e, through which umbrellas may be passed and their bottoms or tips rest in the depressions d, of which there are the same number in the wheel D as there are holes e in the wheel E. The number of the holes e 'or of the semi-spherical depressions d will necessarily vary with the diameter of the wheels D E; but they will be placed about as close together as is represented by the few holes which are shown in the plan views of the said wheels, Figs. 2 and 4. The wheel VE may be regarded by some as more convenient, for the reason that umbrellas may be placed therein and removed more rapidly than when using the wheel E; but the latter has its advantages when it is desirable to display other goods. The wire pins G are designed for the display of fancy articles-such, for instance, as silk handkerchiefs and other like goods. The rods F are also designed for the display of fancy articles. Handkerchiefs, hosiery, and even light-weight parasols may be depended therefrom. The upright Gis formed of square iron, each end for a distance of two inches (more or less) being turned round, the lower end of which is fitted to ahole formed in the base B, but not so snug but that it may revolve when required in said hole. The nut c may or may not be used. Square holesXX are formed in the center of each of the wheels D E'E to fit the rod C, and the lower wheel, D, resting, as it does, upon the base B, requires nothing to hold it in place; but the upper ones, E or E', must be sustained in position either by means of the pin shown in Figs. l and 3 or a collar or some equivalent device. The extension C ICO is four feet (more or less) in height, and is preferably made of round iron.and by making it in two parts, as shown in Fig. l, it is easily packed for shipment with the other parts of the stand. The lower end ofsaid extension is provided with a hole,which may be threaded to or tted snugly over the top end of the square bar O. Vhen my improved stand is constructed fo floor use, as is shown in Fig. l, it will stand seven feet (more or less) high; but it may be easily converted into a counter-stand,as shown by Fig. 3, by simply unscrewing theextension C and in its stead screwing on the ornament F, and by substituting the base B which is shown in Fig. 3 for the one shown in Fig. l. Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-

In a stand for umbrellas and parasols, having a base, B B', carrying the upright rod formed of the segments C C, the said part C being provided with horizontal arms F, projecting from the ballf at the top thereof, the Combination, with the rod C, of the disk D, having semi-spherical depressions d. and the wheel E, provided with holes e, holding the pins G, all constructed and operating substantiallyin the manner shown and described, and forY the purpose set forth.
