Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEo SIMON SIMMONS, OF LONDON, COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX, ENGLAND, ASSIGNOR TO LIONEL MONTAGU DAVIS, OF SAME PLACE.
WALKINGSTICK UMBRELLA-HANDLIE, 80C.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 372,177, dated October 25, 1887.
Application led June 13, 1887.
To all whom, it may concern.:
Beit known that I, SIMON SIMMoNs, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at London, England, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in the Construction of Walk" ing-Sticks, Umbrellas, and Like Articles for Containing Cigars or Cigarettes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, reference :o beinghadtotheaccompanyingdrawings,which form a part of this specification.
My invention is designed for the purpose of providing walking-sticks, umbrellas, and like articles with means or mechanism arranged,
as hereinafter fully described, for the purpose of supporting and raising cigars or cigarettes, which are located in a superposed manner in the stick-which is for the purposehollow-the said cigars or cigarettes being, when desired, brought upward, so as to be readily grasped, by operating a pulley to which is attached one end of a cord or its equivalent, the other end depending within the hollow stick, and there attached to a disk, plug, button, or platform which supports the superposed cigars or cigarettes; and in order that my invention may -be readily understood I` proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying drawings, which represent, by way of example, a walkingstick constructed according to my invention and containing cigars.
Figure 1 is an velevation of a walkingstick to which my improvements are applied, the middle portion of the stick being broken away, and Fig; 2 is a longitudinal section of the upper portion of said stick. Fig. 3 shows, partly in section and partly in elevation, the raising mechanism detached from the stick. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are sectional details of the raising mechanism and knob. Fig. `7 represents a modication of the invention.
A is the stick, which is tubular up to and within a short distance of the ferrule.
B is the knob or handle, having a lid, C, hinged at a. Within this knob a tube, b, is arranged centrally, and is secured thereto by a ange, c. Fitting as a sleeve over this central tube is a short anged tube, d, having its Serial No. 241,205. (No model.)
in place when fitted inthe outer tube by having its upper circumference splayed to correspond to the bevel in the short tube d. This short tube serves as a pulley, and is provided with a milled-edged flange, e, soas to be easily rotated by the thumb and finger. Between the knob B and the tube b-the stick is titted,
as shown in the drawings.
A hole, f, in the iiange c allows ofa length of tine strong string, g, or its equivalent, pass- 5o ing to the short tube or horizonal pulley d, upon which it can be wound or unwound at pleasure by rotating the milled-edged ange e. The lowermost end of the string has depending froin it a disk, button, plug, or plat- 55 form, h, which tits loosely in the tubular stick, and upon which the charge of cigars or cigarettes is superposed. The uppermost end of the string is passed through a guide-eye, j, xed to the interior wall of the knob B, and is 7.o then secured to an eye, k, upon the short tube or pulley d.
A groove, r, is cut in the interior wall of the stick, to permit the string g or its equivalent to pass uninterruptedly upward or down- Ward. v
The bearing or frictional surface of the short tube or horizontal pulley acts to a certain eX- tent as a brake, which prevents the weight of the cigars in the stick having any influence on its rotation.
When the stick is to be charged with cigars or cigarettes, the lid is raised and the short tube or horizontal pulley is so rotated by its milled-edged flange as to wind up the whole of the string, and thereby bring the disk, button, or platform near to the orifice in the top of the stick, through which the cigars are inserted one by one and pushed or lowered down until the tube is full, .or until so many cigars as it is required to carry are inserted, at which time the disk, button, or platform has descended partly down or to the bottom of the stick. When it is desired to withdraw a cigar, the lid is raised and the milled-edged 95 angeof the short tube or horizontal pulley is rotated, the action of which winds up the platform and projects upward for a short distance a cigar through the orifice at top of the stick, from which it is taken by hand, the re- Ioo maining cigars being steadily retained in the stick by simply turning the milled-edged flange until the end of the next cigar is brought upward, and on the closing of the lid cornes into contact with a pad, p, spring, or other contrivanee in the lid. This contrivance also acts as a means to prevent the rotation of the inner tube, d, when t-he lid is closed.
In a modification shown in Fig. 7 the horizontal pulley d is operated from the ontside ofthe knob, the fiange ofthe said pulley rotating in frictional contact with and beneath the flange of the central tube. The lid may either be hinged or it may turn upon an axis placed near the outer edge of the knob or handle. In all other respects the invention is precisely the saine as in the foregoing arrangement.
Having now described niy invention and in what manner the saine may be carried into effect, I would have it understood that I ani aware prior to my invention hollow sticks for containing cigars have been used; butsuch use, without any provision for raisi ng the cigars, has caused the cigars to betunibled about and dainaged. I am also aware that ithas been proposed to apply mechanical arrangements to hollow sticks for containing and raising cigarettes. I therefore do not broadly claim a hollow walkingstiek or the like charged with cigars or provided with mechanism for raising cigarettes; but
Vhat I do claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
l. The combination, with the hollow stick, a disk therein, and a cord connected with the disk, of a pulley at the upper end of the stick for winding the cord to elevate the disk, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with a hollow stick, a. disk therein, and a cord connected with the disk, of a hollow pulley journaled at the upper end of the stick, and a hinged cap or lidv for covering the upper open end ofthe pulley, substantially as described.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
SIMON SIMMONS.
