UMBRELLA-PROTECTOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 28, 1914.
Application led January 23, 1914. Serial No. 813,884.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that We, HIRAM C. ANDER- soN and ADoLPH P. KEMMER, citizens of the United States, and residents, respectively, of the city of New York, Vestchester, borough of the Bronx, in the county of the Bronx and State of New York, and of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Umbrella-Protector, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.
This invention relates to umbrellas and parasols, and has particular reference to an insulated or cushioning protector for the tip end of the umbrella rod.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide the rod, especially the outer or upper end thereof, with insulation for the purpose of protecting the person carrying the umbrella from the effect of shocks from electricity from any source.
A further object of the invention is to equip the tip end of the umbrella rod with a buffer or cushion, whereby, when the umbrella is used as a cane or the like, the joints and catches between the several metallic parts of the umbrella are relieved from damaging impact.
The foregoing and other objects of the invention will hereinafter be more fully described and claimed and illustrated in the drawings forming a part of this specification in which like characters of reference indicate coresponding parts in all the views, and in which-d Figure 1 is a vertical section of one form of our invention; Fig. 2 is a Similar view of another form of the invention; and Fig. 3 shows a still further modification.
The several parts of the device may be made of any suitable materials, and the relative Sizes and pro-portions, as well as the general design of the mechanism, may be varied to a considerable extent without departing from the spirit of the invention hereinafter more fully set forth and specifi: cally claimed.
Referring to Fig. 1 we show an umbrella 10 having a rod 11, and ribs 12. This umbrella is or may be o-f any conventional form and complete as it comes from the factory. At 13 we show an attachment adapted to be slipped upon or secured in any suitable manner at the upper tip end 11 of the rod. This attachment 13 may be of soft rubber and of uniform character throughout, and it comprises at least two functions, namely, the provision of insulation practically preventing the passage of electricity into and along the rod from the tip end thereof, and having at the extreme outer end a cushion 13 constituting a resilient buffer when the umbrella is used as a walking stick or the like.
The umbrella shown in Fig. 2, like that in Fig. 1, is presumed to be complete when it leaves the factory, and at 14 we show an insulating attachment of a material more rigid than that above described, such, for instance, as hard rubber, having a shoulder 15 at its lower end having an internal thread coperating with a sleeve or thimble 16 adapted to be fitted to the rod and there secured by means of a pin 17. These protectors may, of course, be manufactured in dier-ent sizes and lengths, according to the various types or makes of umbrellas to which they may be fitted. The upper end of the protector 14 is preferably fitted with a Soft rubber buffer 18 providing a cushion for the purposes above set forth.
Fig. 3 illustrates an umbrella manufac tured complete, including a sleeve 19 of insulation extending with the cap along the rod 11, from one end to the other, the sleeve 19 being provided at its upper end with a threaded Shank 19 adapted to receive the threaded end 19 of the protector cap 14E adapted to be detachably connected to the shank 19 of the main sleeve. These parts 19 and 14 may be made of hard rubber, and preferably fitted at the outer end of the protector 14 is a soft rubber buffer 18. It will be understood from Fig. 3 that the protector 14 is not in normal position but displaced so as to better illustrate the construction.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent :w
1. The combination of an umbrella rod, a cap of hard insulating material for the end of the rod, a soft rubber cushioning tip secured in the end of said cap, and screw threaded connecting means to secure the cap detachably in place.
In testimony whereof We have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing' Witnesses.
