UMBRELLA-RACK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 791,158, dated May 30, 1905. Application filed October 20,1904. Serial No. 229,281.
Be it known that 1, ANDREW MIKULIOH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sacramento, in the county of Sacramento and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in UmbrellaRacks, of which the following is a specification.
My invention-relates to an improved rack for holding umbrellas. Its object is to provide a simple; neat-appearing, compact, and practical rack of this character which can be manufactured and sold cheaply, which is adapted particularly for use in restaurants, hotels, stores, and generally crowded places, which can be attached to a wall, ost, counter, or other suitable support, an which will occupy very little space.
The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a front view of my improved rack,partlybroken away. Fig. 2 is a section on line x a", of Fig. 1. 'Fig. 3 is a perspective of the holder for the rack proper.
A represents a receptacle of any suitable material and of any desired length. Ordinarily where designed to hold half a dozen umbrellas it would not exceed siX or seven inches long and as many in height, since the holding means is intended to grip only the tip end of the umbrella-stick. This holding means consists of a horizontally-arranged open-coil spring 2 of suitable stiffness and about two mches, more or less, in diameter contained in the upper part of the receptacle A. The latter has an opening at the top extending nearly its whole length for the inserting of the ends of the umbrellas into the coil. The closed parts 3 of the to with the closed ends of the receptacle and t e conveXed portion 4 of the front constitute a housing and support for the spring. Below the spring is formed a suitable drip-collection chamber 5. This chamber may be of any suitable shape or slze.
On the inside of the back of the receptacle A may be disposed a ledge 6 to support the ends of the umbrellas which are thrust through the coil. Of coursewhere the chamber 5 is very shallow and the bottom of the receptacle is not further removed from the top of the coil than the length of the exposed tip endof an umbrella the bottom of the receptacle will serve in lieu of the ledge 6 and the latter may be omitted.
Any suitable means may be employed to secure the receptacle A firmly in place, so that it will maintain an upright position when in use.
B represents a holder which consists of a plate about the same size as the back of the receptacle A and adapted to be secured to a wall or post or counter or some like support adjacent to the floor. This plate is provided with the lateral guide-flanges 7 to receive corresponding flanges or projections on the ends of the receptacle A. Hook members 8, pivoted on plate B, are adapted to engage the top of the receptacle to prevent its accidental withdrawal from the holder once it is engaged.
ping means for the umbrella, but being free to spring in the direction of its length the umbrella cannot be broken, as would be liable to occur if a rigid socket were employed and. the end of the umbrella inserted into such a socket. While the coils of the spring are close enough to grip the umbrella, they allow the latter to be held at any desired angle relative to the wall to which the rack is secured.
By turning the hook members 8 outward The spring 2 not only affords a good grip- Thus while firmly holding the umbrella such an arrangement prevents the wall from being wetted.
The upper portion of the front of the receptacle may have an upwardly and outwardly projecting portion 9, which will direct the drip from the umbrella into the receptacle. The part 9 will also act as a stop to limit the outward movement of an umbrella.
It is obvious that various modifications in my invention are possible without departing from the principle thereof, and I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the specific construction as herein shown and described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and. desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is
1. An umbrella-rack comprising a suitably supported receptacle incasing a horizontallydisposed coiled spring, said springbeing supported at its ends and arranged to support the end of an umbrella between its coils, said. rack inclosing a drip-chamber below the coil and a supporting-ledge within the receptacle and below the coil in the path of the umbrella.
2. An umbrella-rack including a casing having its lower portion formin a dripchamber and av coiled spring in the casing just above said chamber said casing having the ortion above the chamber substantially con orming to the curvature of the spring and. adapted to support and house said spring.
3. In an umbrella-rack the combination of a receptacle having a means of removably attaching it to a suitable support, said receptacle having an opening at the top extending less than the whole length of the receptacle to form inclosed housings at the end of the receptacle, a coil-spring disposed relative to said opening, said coil-spring having its ends inclosed in the housings and adapted to receive between its exposed coils the ends of umbrellas.
4. An umbrella-rack comprising a casing provided with a drip-ch amber, a coiled spring just above-said chamber said casing having its front extended above the chanibcr and conforming substantially to the outline of the spring said casing open at the top and said front provided with a projecting portion adapted to direct the drip from the umbrella into the chamber.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscrlbmg witnesses.
ANDRE MIKULIOH.
