GEORGE B. CANNON, J'Rl, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
UMBRELLA.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented S ept. ;16,
Applicationfiled April 18, 1919. Serial No. 290,993. 7
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, GEORGE B. CANNON, Jr., citizen of the United States, and resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Um brellas, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to umbrellas, and particularly to a type of umbrella, the frame of which including the stick, may be formed of wire. I
The general object of the invention is to produce an inexpensive umbrella frame which can be readily formed of wire, one of my special objects being to reduce as much as possiblethe amount of wire neces sary to form the stick-portion of the umbrella. According to my invention, the complete frame of the umbrella canbe formed of a plurality of wires, lying substantially parallel with each other, these wires being bent so as to form the stickportion, ribs, handle and stretchers.
The invention consists in the features hereinafter described, all of which contribute to produce an eiiicient umbrella.
A preferred embodiment of my'invention will be particularly described, in'the following specification, while the broad scope of my invention will be pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of my, invention,
Figure 1 is a vertical section through the vopen umbrella;
v Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the umbrella in its folded state; t
Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the umbrella frame at one stagein'its manufacture; f
- Fig. 4 is a side elevation ofthe handle showing a modified form of this part;
Fig. 5 is a detail section taken at the end of a rib and illustrates how the ribs hold the edges of the umbrella cover.
Referring more particularly to the parts, the umbrella frame comprises a central stickportion 1, which is preferably formed of a plurality of wires 2 lying side by side. These wiresare preferably substantially straight and disposed in parallelrelation with each other. At the lower end of the stick-portion 1, the wires 2 are bent. in any suitable manner so as to form a handle 3.
The upper ends of the wires 2 are connected together, for example, by forming a twist a, beyondwhich point the wires have integral extensions which" extend upwardly and outwardly so asto constitute the; ribs 5 of the umbrella. v. r 1
From the stick-portion 1, preferably a l jacent the upper end of the handle: 3,
stretchers 6 extend upwardly and connect with the ribs. These stretchers are preferably formed integrally from the wires 2. In order to do this, the lower ends ofthe wires are preferably bent outwardly at their lower endsas at 7 in Fig. 1, andthen extend, upwardly alongside. the stick por tion to form an enlargement constituting a handle portion 3.
At the upper end of h ands. Portion the wires are attached to the stick-portion 1. This is preferably accomplished a by meansof a twist/8 formed by coiling the different wires around the stick-portion. From the coils which form this twist, the
wires extend upwardly and outwardly in an inclined direction so as to form the stretchers 6. z
Any suitable means may be provided for connecting the stretchers '6 to the ribs 5. This is preferably accomplished 'by forming 'a slight lateral bend or socket 9 in each rib which receives a hook 10, (see Fig. 2') formed on the end of each stretcher.
In manufacturing the umbrella frame,;I
prefer to proceedin the manner indicated in Fig. 3., that is to; say, Ilayjaplurality of wires of equal length side by side and :form atwist 1 by plaiting or coiling the I wires together, and this twist eventually forms the upper end of the stick-portion.
The extensions 11, ,which' lie at the right of the twist 4, in Fig, 3, are then provided with bends such asthe bend 9,',adapting them to operate as ribs. a
The wires should be of resilient material so that in the complete umbrella, the rib wires unite with the twist 4: through a curved 4;, in Fig. 3, are then bent so as to form the handle and the stretchers- A p Thelcover 14: of the umbrella ispreferably terial such as waterproof paper;
The umbrella illustrated, has four ribs,
but obviously there may be more or less of the ribs, as may be desired.
The cover simply 1 portion 12, see'Fig. 1. The extensions 13Jof. .the wires whichlie on the left of the twist composed of an inexpensive waterproof ma lies extendedj upon the ribs when the umbrella is open. The edges of the cover are attached "to the umbrella ribs by means of reinforcing eyelets 15, see Fig. 5, and the ends of the ribs are bent around so as to form eyes 16 engaging these eyelets. Except for the edge attachments, the cover is unattached to the ribs.
\Vhen the umbrella is folded up, it has the general appearance indicated in Fig. 2, the cover lying in the space between the ribs. In order to open the umbrella, the rib ends are simply pulled outwardly so as to stretch thecover and in doing so, the hooks 10 are applied to the bends or sockets 9, thereby holding the ribs .in the bowed shape;
Instead of bending the wires to form a handle of the tapered form shown in Fig. 1, I may provide a modified form for the handle, for example, such as that shown in Fig. 4, 'inwhich the wires at the lower end of the -handle areibent upwardly so as to form an enlargement composed of wire extensions '17 produclng loops '18 in the wlre,
cooperating to form the handle, the wires being made secure by atwist 19 of the wires where the .handle wires 17 unite with the stickrtion '20, said stick-portion. being compose c'h'as' in'the preferred form, of a plurality of substantially straight parallel wires 21.
It is evident, that accordingto my invention, the umbrella frame can be formed of a plurality of wires, each of which forms a portion of the handle, a part-of the stick portion, and a rib and stretcher of the um- 'brella, butlit shouldbe understood that I 'do not limit myself to making all of these parts in one piece, as it is obvious that if desired, a certain number of the parts could be made integral, while separate wires could be employe'd to form the other part or parts of the frame. For example, the stretchers could readily be formed-of pieces of wire separate from the wires that form the handle.
It is understood that the embodiment of theiinvention described herein, is only one of the many embodiments this invention may take, and I do not 'wish to be limited in the practice of the invention, nor in my claims,
to the particular embodiment set forth;
What I claim and desire to secure by LettersPatent is 1.
