EMIL EVENSEN WEFLEN, OF CHRISTIAN IA, NORWY.

CLUB.

Application filed June 4, 1915.

To aZZ whom t may concem:

Be it known that I, EMIL EvENsEN NnrLnN, policeman, citizen of Norway, residing at Grners gate 5, Christiania., Norway, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Clubs; and I do hereby de- 'which has proved to fulfil the requirement made to an effective defense-weapon, so that the club may be adapted for disabling the antagonist for a shorter time by one stroke without thereby damaging him.

For this purpose the club consists of a flexible body with a covering throughout its length which latter consists of an elastic Inaterial preferably rubber, vulcanized caoutchouc or guttapercha, but the invention is characterizedmore particularly by the fact, that the flexible body comprises a piece of wire rope provided With ferrules on its ends.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of the club. Fist. 2 a view of the flexible metallic core. Fig. 3 shows the finished club.

The inner metallic core or body comprises, as mentioned above, a piece of wire rope -lwith end ferrules 2, 3-. This core is inclosed by a cover -4cof a soft and elastic material, preferably rubber, vulcanized caoutchouc or guttapercha, balata or equivalent elastic material.

In order to provide a good adhesion between the core and the covering the former is preferably surrounded by a thin layer -6 of canvas or other fabric, which is Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 21, 1915.

Serial No. 32,196.

wound around the core as partly illustrated in F ig. 1. Then the whole is dipped into liquid caoutchouc or other binder, and finally the covering -4- is cast around the core.

At the handle end the club is provided with a usual carrying-knot -5--, which is threaded also through the wire rope -1--.

A club of the kind described has not only the necessary Weight but it gives also a comparatively safe stroke which at once makes the antagonist senseless without else damaging him. Thus it produces no scars and does not crack bone-parts or the like. Moreover the club, on account of its degree of flexibility, can suitably be operated with a heavy force.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to 'Secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a club the combination of a core consisting of a piece of wire rope with ferrules at both ends, and a covering of elastic material surrounding the said core.

2. In a club the combination of a core consisting of a piece of wire rope with ferrules at both ends, and a covering of rubber surrounding the core.

3. In a club the combination of a core consisting of a piece of rope with ferrules at both ends, a thin layer of canvas o-r other fabric closely surrounding the core, and a covering of elastic material surrounding the said core.

4. In a. club the combination of a core consisting of a piece of ropewith ferrules at both ends, a thin layer of canvas or other fabric wound closely'around the core and thereafter dipped into liquid rubber or similar binder. and acovering of elastic material surrounding the said core.

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