DETACHABLE UMBRELLA-COVER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 683,316, dated September 24, 1901.
Application filed March 20, 1901. Serial No. 51,987. (No model.)
To all whom/ it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDGAR B. MURDOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Webster, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Detachable Umbrella-Cover, of which the following is a specification. This invention relates to that class of detachable umbrella-covers which are usually kept in stock ready to be directly applied to the frames of the umbrellas whichit is desired to re-cover; and the especial object of this invention is to provide a detachable umbrellacover of this class which will have its seams reinforced near the center, so that they will be less liable to rip or be torn open, and to provide an umbrellacover which may be used in connection with an umbrella-frame having either the small steel rod or stick or the ordinary wooden stick. To these ends this invention consists of the umbrella-cover,
as hereinafter described, and more particu: larly pointed out in the claim at the end of this specification.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of an umbrella-cover constructed according to this invention, showing the same stretched out or spread in the shape which it assumes when applied to an umbrella-frame; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary View, partially in section, illustrating the construction of the central part of a detachable umbrella-cover made according to this invention.
One serious disadvantage in selling detachableumbrella=covers of the class to which this invention relates is due to the fact that large numbers of such umbrella-covers have to be carried in stock. This arises not only from the fact that umbrella-frames vary in size, curvature, numbers of ribs, rite, but is also due in a large measure to the fact that umbrella -=fra1nes employing steel rods for sticks have come into such general use that they are now employed nearly as extensively as umbrella-frames having ordinary wooden sticks, and this has made it necessary to keep in stock two complete lines of umbrella covers, one being provided with the small perforations and fittings for the steel rods and the other set being provided with the larger perforations and fittings for the ordinary wooden sticks.
The especial object of my present inven tion is therefore to provide a detachable umbrella-cover which may be used in connection with either kind of umbrella-stick and which will be so constructed that the seams near the center of the cover will be reinforced and strengthened.
Referring to the accompanying drawings and in detail, an umbrella-cover constructed according to this invention, asherein illustrated, comprises the ordinary triangular cloth sections A, which come together at the center of the cover. The umbrella-cover may be provided, if desired, with sockets or ferrules I) for engaging the ends of the ribs of an umbrella-frame, or, if preferred, the detachable cover may be sewed to the ribs in the ordinary manner.
The construction at the center of the umbrella-cover is most clearly illustrated in Fig. 2. As shown in this figure, two circular center pieces D and E are employed. The center pieces D and E are preferably made of leather, enamel cloth, or similar flexible material, the center piece D being applied to the outside of the cover and the center piece E being applied to the inside of the cover.
The center pieces D and E are secured in place by a circle of stitches F, concentric with the center pieces D and E. If desired, two or more rows of stitches may be employed, although in practice I have found a single row of stitches to be sufficient. By means of this construction the center pieces will be so applied to the umbrella-cover that they will reinforce the seams at the points where thesame are most liable to be ripped or torn apart, while at the same time by means of this construction an umbrella-cover will be provided which may be punched or perforated at its center to receive either the small-sized steel umbrella-rod or the largersized ordinary wooden stick.
Any of the ordinary ferrules or trimmings may be employed to properly finish the joint between the umbrella-cover and the stick to which the same is applied, the object of this invention primarily being to furnish a detachable umbrella cover as an article of cover, the stitches securing the center piece inclosingan area exceeding that of the crosssection of either a wooden or steel umbrellastick, within which a hole may be out or punched to receive either a steel umbrellarod or an ordinary wooden umbrella-stick as desired.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set .my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
EDGAR B. MURDOOK.
