TO ALL WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:

Beit known that I, WILLIAM F. TURNER, of the city of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Umbrellas; and lI do hereby declare the following to be a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofvreferen'ce marked thereon.

My invention consists in combining an umbrella with a cane in the inside, the cane beinghollow, and seemy ing as a walking-stick. The cover, runner, and top notches may he carriedin the pocket, in a small box or case, to bc on hand at a momcnt's notice, to be` transformed into an umbrella, to shelter from sun or rain, and may be put together in less than three minutes, although nearly every piece is separate.

In order that my said invention may be fully understood, I will now proceed more fully to describe the same.

Figure 1 is a'view of the cane, supposed to contain the ribs and stretchers.

Figure 2, the top portion of the cane, with the head oft, and showing the ribs protruding.

Figure 3, `top notches, to which the ribs areto be fastened.

Figure 4, cap, to secure the ribs in their places.

Figure 5, top notches attached to the bottom of cane, ready to receive the ribs.

Figure 6, top notches and ribs secured bythe cap end of hooked rib A to tit on the wire running round 1h the topnotches, fig. 3, and secured in position by cap, iig; 4.

Figures 7, 8, 9, 10,"the runner thatopens and closes the umbrella. B, wire that receives the hooks of the ribs. C, a revolving ring or shoulder, better seen in g. 7,whichhas a notch, F, that sets parallel with one of' the notches of the hunner, so that the hook on the rib G can be hooked in the wire B, 4tlg. 7 or 10., D, spring that works in socket-wheel E, g. 7, to regulate and secure shoulder'C, when adjusting the hook on rib G.

` Figure 12, top portion of cover, showing b1as"s-ring, better seen in sectional view, iig. 12.

Figure 13, gild-tip, showing the hollow by dotted lines.

Figure 14, gild-tips sewed to cover.

Figure `15, rib and stretcher, F.

Figure 16, showing'a. portion of 'the frame before the cover is placed in position, which is done by merely placing the point of cane through the ring, lig. 11, and springing or bending the rib,- and then placing gild-tip over the end, when the umbrellaI is ready for use.

What I claim as my invention is- An umbrella having a hollow cane or handle, the ribs, stretchers, cap, runner, andl cover all. being detachable, as and for the purpose herein shown and described.

WM. F. TURNER.
