FAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 494,032, dated March 21, 1893.

Application filed January 7,1893- Serial No. 457,610- (No model.)

To an whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN SOHEUER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Fan, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved fan, which is simple and durable in construction and adapted to be readily opened and closed or securely and snugly folded.

The invention consists of certain parts and details, and combinations of the same, as will be hereinafter described and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of theimprovement with parts in section. Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of one of the handles on theline 2-2 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the same on the line 33 of Fig. l.

The improved fan is provided with the foldin g web A madein circular form and attached at its middle to the handle B made in two sections B and B as plainly shown in the drawings, the two sections being pivoted in the usual manner at the center of the web A.

. or closed position.

Into the U-shaped frame 13 of each of the handle sections extends a wooden strip 0 on which is secured by a suitable glue or other means, the end of the folding web A. This wooden strip 0 projects beyond the edge of the web A, and is secured in place in the respective handle section by a suitable plug D fitted to the round part B of the respective handle section and presses with its sides on the said wooden strip, as plainly shown in Figs. 1 and 3. The end D of this plug D is bent inward onto the wooden strip 0, as plainly shown in Fig. 1 so as to form an additional securing means for firmly holding the wooden strip 0 in position.

It is understood that the principal strain on the wooden strip 0 is near the outer end of the web A when the latter is opened, as shown in .Fig. 1 and as the wooden strip is fastened at this outer end securely in place by the metallic plug D, as described, no diffi- -culty whatever is experienced in holding the metallic handle made in sections, a wooden strip secured on each metallic handle section and connected with the end of the web, and a metallic block held in the handle section and clamping the wooden strip in place at its outer end, substantially as shown and de:

scribed. Y
