In the kaccompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1 is a side elevation view of one form of my invention in whicha springuis employedvto eject the whip-section, the w 'p-sectionbeing retained in the extended ppsition by a releasable locking device. In t `s view thedevice is shown with its parts disposed to form' a cane. Fig. 2 -is a central' longitudinal ysectional view of what is shown in Fig.` 1, Fig. 3 is a centralflongitudinal sectional view of the form shown in Figs. l

and 2, the whip-section being shown. in the eX-y tended position. Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken on the dotted lineal b of Fig. 2. Fig; 5 isa view similar to Fig. 3 of a modiiied form of my invention in which the inner end ofthe whip-section is externally screwthreaded and tted to the internally screw-threaded outer end of the handle by means of which 'the two sections may be firmly secured with similar parts.

plete is `pisnfified With en oblon hole -i eh the rod 7 is mounted and adapted to permit a pin- 12, lsecured transversely in the rod` 7,

to"p ass therethrough when the said pin is in 1 the proper position,- butpreventing therod from sopassing when turned to a different position. This form of my invention is perated as follows: To assemble thepartsfto form the whip, the lcap 2 isremoved and mounted on the screw-threaded projection provided on the outer side of the closed end y of the ,sleeve and denoted'by 13. By rotating the sleeve 6on the handle 1 to theV proper position the pin 12 can pass through the oblong hole l1, thus releasing the sprin 10, whichhas previously been compresse and which then suddenly forces the follower IPO 9 outward and quickly shoots the whip-section 3 to the position shown in Fig. 3,1in which the releasableflocking device comprising the spring strip or catch 5 engages the grooved lower end of the section 3. To

IIC

form the cane, the sleeve 6 is retracted to the position shown in Fig. 2 and turned so as to position the in 12 transversely relative to vthe hole 11 t us retaining the spring which has been compressed by drawin back the sleeve 6. The catch is then orced outwardly at its free end, freeing the whip-section 3, which will then drop to the position shown in Fig. 2, when the cap 2 may be removed from the projection 13 and placed on the outer end of the handle, thus to form the cane.

In the form shown in Figs. 5, 6, and 7 the parts are similarly formed and operated, excepting that the outer end of the handle is internally screw-threaded and provided with a shoulder 14, adapted to have bear upon it a peripheral shoulder on the lower end of the section 3 and denoted by 15. The section 3 just above the said shoulder is screwthreaded and iitted to the threaded upper end of the handle. The cap 2 is screwthreaded externally at one end and fitted to the threaded upper end of the handle and. also to a threaded hole 16, provided in the lower endl of the sleeve 6. In this form the catch 5 is employed to retain the section 3 in the upper position after it has been forced to that position and until it can be rotated,

so as to have its screw-threaded end fit the threaded end ofthe handle to which it is s'ecured. The shoulders 14 and 15 prevent the entire removal of the section 3 by inadvertence and further help to firmly lock the section in the extended position.

Many modifications of my invention may be made without departing from its spirit.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

' 1. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle, a whip-section ,insertible in the handle, a spring for forcing the whipsection to the extended position, a member slidably mounted on the handle, means by which the spring may be com ressed when the said member is moved to t e proper position on the handle, and means for releasably retaining the spring in the compressed position.

2. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle-section, a whip-section insertible in the handle-section, a spring for forcing the whip-section to the extended position, means for retaining the whip-section in the said position, a member slidably mounted on the handle-section, means by which the spring may be compressed when the said member is properly moved, and means for releasably retaining the spring compressed.

3. A combined whip and cane comprising a tubular handle-section, a whip-section insertible in the handle-section, a spring for forcing the whip-section into the extended position, a sleeve slidably mounted on the handle-section, means by which the spring may be compressed when the sleeve is properly moved, and means for releasably holding the spring compressed.

4. A combined cane and whip comprising a tubular handle-section, a whi -section insertible in the handle-section, a ollower longitudinally movable in the handle-section and adapted to support the Whip-section, a longitudinally-movable member on the liandle, means by which the follower may be retracted in one direction when the said member is properly moved, and a spring for moving the fo lower in the opposite direction.

.n testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
