PHILIP J. FLYNN, OF WEST PULLMAN, ILLINOIS.
DRIP-CUP FOR UMBRELLAS.
QPEGIFIGATION forming'part of Letters Patent No. 722,573, dated March 10, 1903.
Application filed May 10,1902. Serial No. 106,828. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Beit known that I, PHILIP J. FLYNN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Vest Pullman, Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Drip Cups for Umbrellas, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a drip-cup for an umbrella; and the object of the same is to provide a simple and efiective device of this class which may be easily applied to and firmly held on the projecting end of an umbrella stick or rod and having means whereby a water-tight joint may be set up between the improved device and the stick, as well as a simple drain construction whereby the cup may be relieved of an accumulation of drip-water.
With this and other objects and advantages in view the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of an umbrella shown open and the improved drip-cnp applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective view of the drip-cup. Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section through the cup.
Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
The numeral 1 designates a suitable thin sheet-metal cylinder which is open its full length or is without interior obstruction to provide a containing-receptacle, and in the upper open end thereof a supporting-ring 2 is concentrically arrangedand immovably held by diametrically arranged securing-arms 3, attached thereto and to the said end of the cylinder. The ring 2 is preferably formed of round wire and is of considerably less diameter than the upper open end of the cylinder 1. The lower end of the cylinder 1 has an inverted conical extension 4, with a short terminal tube 5 centrally projecting therefrom, and at the point of intersection of the tube with the extension is an outwardly-projecting tubular outlet 6, into which is adapted to be fitted a rubber stopper 7, held in connection with the cylinder 1 by a chain or other flexible device 8. The improved dripcup also includes in its construction and organization a thin rubber sleeve 9, which is pulled over the free end of the tube 5 when the cup is applied to the stick of an umbrella for a purpose which will be presently set forth.
In applying the improved drip-cup it is slipped longitudinally over the projecting extremity of an umbrella-stick, as shown by Fig. 1, and pushed up until the ring 2 is in close contact with the means for holding the umbrella-cover to the stick, the said ring by its form avoiding injury to the cover of the umbrella with which it may contact and also in view of the fact that it has a slight yielding action will bind frictionally on the means for fastening the cover to the umbrella-stick. By reason of the difference in diameter between the ring 2 and the upper open end of the cylinder 1 an annular inlet to the cylinder will be provided when the device is applied to the umbrella-stick, so that the drip or drain water from the umbrella may unob structedly flow into the cup. After the cylinder has been pushed up into place on the extremity of the umbrella-stick the sleeve 9 is drawn over the latter and also over a portion of the tube 5 to prevent the cylinder from moving downwardly and also to form awater-tight joint. When the device is to be used, the outlet-tube 6 is closed by a stopper 7 and the umbrella having the cup thereon is disposed in upright position, so that the drip or drain water may descend toward and enter the cylinder 1 and prevent soiling or injury to carpets or other devices adjacent to the umbrella. When the cylinder 1 becomes filled or partly filled with drip or drain water, it can be relieved of its contents by withdrawing the stopper 7 from the outlet-tube 6.
The improved device is compact in form and will be preferably formed of non-corrosive material, and it will be seen that the inverted conical extension 4 insures a perfect drainage or outlet of the accumulated drip or drain water. At times the improved device may also be suitably ornamented, and
said body, the opposite end of the latter being reduced and having an outlet means laterally projecting therefrom, and an elastic sleeve on the terminal of the reduced end of the body to engage a portion of the umbrella to form a water-tight joint.
In testimony whereof I afl'lx my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PHILIP J. FLYNN.
