' MAX ALTSI-IULER, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., AND SAMUEL M. VINES, 0F WESTFIELD, NEW
JERSEY, ASSIGNORS T0 ALTSHULER BROS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A FIRM COMPOSED OF SOLOMON AL'I'SHULER AND MAX ALTSHULER.
UMBRELLA.
T 0 all whom it may concern;
Be it known that we, MAX AL'rsHULER,
Union, State of New Jerseyyhave jointly inventeda certain new and useful Improvement in Umbrellas, of which the following is a specification.
'Our invention relates to umbrellas and has for its object to provide a construction which is extremely rigid in the raised condition of the umbrella, and which reduces the tendency of the latter to turn inside out under a violent wind pressure to a minimum.
Our improvement further contemplates constructing the umbrella in such a manner that it may bereadily returned to normal condition if it should turn inside out under excessive strains and also in a manner to permit the umbrella to be readily and compactly closed when not in use.
Our improvement will be fully described hereinafter and the features of novelty will be pointed out in the appended claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings in which t Figure 1 is a skeleton view of our improvement showing the umbrella raised; Fig. 2 is a similar view of the umbrella in its closed condition; Fig. 3is a detail view similar to Fig. 1 on an enlarged scale; Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of the braces;
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal section thereof andwith any suitable type of handle 11 and carrylng an upper-crown 12 near its opposite end, the latterbeingradially slotted to accommodate the ends of the'ribs 13 secured in connection with saidcrown 12 in any well known way. The present construction includes main braces 14 which at one end are pivotally connected'at 15 with the ribs 13 and at their opposite ends are nivotally secured at 16 to" an intermediate crown 17 forming part of or secured to a main runner 18 adapted to slide lengthwise of the rod 10 as clearly shown in Fig. 3. These main Specification of Letters Patent.
are extremely Patented Aug. 22, 191a.
Application filed DecemberBO, 1914. Serial No. 879,635.
" braces 14 are made in the form of channel or trough like members and inconsequence rigid and firm against strains tending to ow or buckle the same. As clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 3, the runner 18 instead of. terminating substantially at the intermediate crown 17 extends a considerable distance beyond the same to form a continuing sleeve 19, the purpose of which will be more clearly brought out hereinafter and which together with the runner 18 constitutes what might U6 termed a floating ferrule, the usual stop for limiting the upward movement of the runner in ordinary umbrellas being omitted. Auxiliary braces 20 have their one end pivotally connected at 21 with the main braces 14 and their opposite ends pivotally secured at 22 to a lower crown 23 forming part of or secured to an auxiliary runner 24 adapted to freely slide lengthwise of the runner 18. These auxiliary braces 20 are preferably made of flat material, the ends of which are twisted at right angles to the'main portion thereof to provide the proper pivotal connections with the said main braces 14. With this construction in the folded condition of the umbrella, the one twisted end of each auxiliary brace extends into a channeled main brace 14 while the main portion of each auxiliary brace 20lies fiat against the said main braces thus permitting a ready and compact closing of said umbrella without interference; The customary catches 25 and 26 are providedat proper points on the rod 10 for maintaining the main runner 18 in its raised or lowered position when the'u'mbrella is open or closed, while the usual ma- 7 terial 27 is'secured to the ribs by stitches 28 or other fastening means located at intervals along said ribs as indicated in Fig. 1.
It will readily be seen that, if a wind pressure tending to reverse orturn the raised umbrella inside out occurs beneath the same, the'said pressure will cause the main runner 18 to ride up on the rod 10 until the upper end of the sleeve 19contacts with the upper crown 12. During this movement the braces 14 draw the ribs 13 approximately to the positions'shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3, with the free end portions thereof moved nearer to the rod, thus counteracting the sure and consequently checking the tendency of the umbrella to reverse itself. At the same time the auxiliary runner 24: will be ment the umbrella maybe turned back to its proper raised position by simply resting the free ends of the reversed. ribs 13.0n a flat surface and then pressing downwardly on the rodlO, whereupon said ribs will easily snap back to their intended normal condition this operation being assisted by the umbrella.
covering material 27 and the attaching means 28. The construction and arrangement shown and described also presents a rigid maximum resistance to pressure exerted from above or outside of the umbrella as will be readily apparent.
7 Our improved umbrella is capable of being operated in the same manner as an umbrella of ordinary construction andat the same time may be folded compactly and rolled to as small a diameter as any ordinary Various changes in the specific construction shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without departing from the spirit of our invention. 7
We claim: a
'1. In an umbrella, the combination of arod, an'upper crown upon said rod, continuous ribs attached to said upper crown,
Copies of this patent may be obtained for a main runner slid-ably mounted on said rod,
an intermediate crown carried by said main runner, a sleeve formln'g a continuatlon of said main runner above said intermedlate crown and with said main runner constitut 1 mg a floatmg ferrule adapted to abut agalnst said upper crown to limit an. abnormal up ward movement of said main runner, continuous main braces connected with said ribs and with said intermediate.crewman auxihary runner slidablymounted on sa d main' runner, auxiliary braces connected with said main bracesnear their inner ends and with said auxiliary runner at its upper end,-,and covering material attached to said ribs at intervals throughoutthe length thereof. a 2., In an umbrella. the combination of a rod, a ferrule'slidablefthereon, ribs pivotally attached to said rod, main braces pivotally attached to said'r'ibs and to said ferrule approximately trough shaped in cross see-ay t1on,'an auxiliary crown slldably mounted condition of theumbrella.
In testimony whereofwe have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
