FBLANK W. ROTZELL, OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
UMBRELLA.
Specification 0! Letters Patent.
Application filed February 6, 1909.
Patented Nov. 1, 1910. Serial No. 476,410.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK W. RoTznLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Umbrellas; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to umbrellas, and has for lts object to provide a device of that class, in which the rod may be taken apart to reduce the length of the umbrella so that it may fit within a trunk or traveling bag.
Further objects of my invention are to so arrange the rod joints that they may be protected when the umbrella is in use, and to provide for assembling the tip section with a larger part, when the rod is isjointed.
It is a further object of my invention to provide an umbrella of this character, which 1s simple in operation and economical in construction, and comprises the improved details of structure hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, reference being had'to the accompanying drawin s, in which igure I is a side view of an umbrella constructed according to my invention, the cover being indicated in dotted lines to show the location and relation of the parts. Fig. II is a longitudinal section of the tip and handle portions of the umbrella rod. Fig. III, is a broken elevational View of the same parts. Fig. IV is a similar view, looking from the side. Fig. V is a view of the disjointed parts in their assembled relation.
Referring more in detail to the parts:- 1 designates a hollow metal umbrella rod, the body of which is similar to those in ordinary use and is provided, at its tip end, with a cover ring 2, within which the rod preferably terminates.
3 indicates the umbrella cover, and 4: are ribs which are carried by the runner 5 and are adapted for spreading said cover.
The tip section 6, of the umbrella rod, is made in a separate piece and formed with a shank 7 that is adapted to fit within the channel of the rod body, and has a shoulder 8 that may abut against the outer edge of the rod body 1 to limit the telescoping action.
The tip shank is provided with a longitudinal groove 9, within which a s ring keeper 10 is mounted, the keeper shank being fixed at one end, and provided at its free end, with a head 11 which is yieldingly rojected from the cove, although adapted or retreat into sai groove.
The keeper head 11 is preferably beveled at its free end in order that the keeper may be moved downwardly when the tip is inserted into the rod body, and has a hook edge 12 which is adapted to hold against the edge of a slot 13 in the rod body when the tip is in place.
By locating the slot 13 in the portion of the rod that is inclosed by the umbrella cover, it is protected from foreign matter which might clog therein, and is sheltered from rain or snow, which might freeze in the slot and interfere with the operation of the keeper.
At its handle end, the rod body is provided with a spring keeper 14, the head 15 of which is yieldingly projected through a slot 16 and is beveled so that the keeper will be forced to yield when the socket 17 of a handle shank 18 is moved thereover.
When the umbrella is in use, the ti and handle sections are united as describe and the umbrella used in the ordinary manner, the keeper slot in the tip end of the rod being protected by the cover when the umbrella is either open or closed.
When it is desired to pack the umbrella in a suit case, or elsewhere, the keeper 10 is pressed inwardly against the tension of itsspring and the tip removed from the body of the rod. The handle section is removed in a like manner and the tip section projected into the handle collar and looked through the tip keeper and collar slot connection. WVith the umbrella in this condition the rod body and cover parts will be sufficiently shortened to enable it to fit Within a much smaller space than when the umbrella is fully assembled, and by joining the handle and tip parts there is little probability of cover ring mounted on the rod section and.
having'ribs attached thereto, the rod section having a keeper slot therein immediately below the cover ring, the tip section having a reduced part fitting within the rod section and provided with a headed spring keeper, the handle section having a socket into which the butt of the rod section is projected and having a keeper slot, and the rod section being provided with a spring keeper having a head projected into the slot in the handle socket, the reduced part of the tip section being such that it may enter the socket in the handle ortion when the rod section is removed, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
