An Improved Name and Address Attachment for Umbrellas, Sticks,

1, EMILY AUGUSTA ROSINA SHAND HARVEY of Castle Semple, Lochwinnoch in
the County of Ayr, North Britain do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
This Invention which relates to an improved name and address attachment for
articles of portable property such as umbrellas, sticks, portmanteaus, bags, purses,
pencil cases and the like, consists in the employment of a suitable roller or spindle
mounted in suitable bearings and provided with a suitable coil or other spring or
springs, and having a suitable textile or other label attached for marking the name
and address on.
In order that my said Invention may be more readily understood and easily carried
into effect I will proceed to describe the same with reference to the accompanying
drawings.
Figure 1, is a sectional elevation, and Figure 2 a cross sectional elevation of my
attachment for portable property, it being shewn with the label open for inspection,
while Figures 3 and 4 are elevation and end elevation respectively of the same, but
having the label closed.
Figure 5, a sectional elevation and Figure 6, a cross sectional elevation of my
attachment, as applied to pencil cases and the like, the label being shewn closed, and
Figures 7 and 8 are an elevation, and end elevation respectively, of the same, with
the label open for inspection.
Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4, A is a roller or spindle which is mounted in
suitable bearings a, at each of its ends, and is provided with one or more coil or other
similar springs B, and a textile or other label or card C, which has a suitable bar or
catch (", on it for enabling it to be caught by the fingers, the whole arrangement
being suitably fitted inside a case D; this case may be made of any suitable metal or

page_text: material, and provided with the necessary slit d, to enable the label to be pulled out,
as also suitable means for attaching the case to the bag or other article, such as is
shewn or otherwise.
If desired I may dispense with the case D, in which case the bearings a, and
springs B, would be attached to the piece E. The action being, that when it is
desired to read the name and address, the bar or catch C', is pulled out and with it the
label C, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, enabling the name and address to be easily
read, after which, on the bar or catch C₁, being let go the label C, immediately gets
wound up on the roller A, by means of the recoil of the springs B, as shewn in
Figures 3 and 4.
Figures 5, 6, 7 and 8 show my attachment as adapted to pencil cases and the like,
in which case the roller A, is carried in the bearings a, and provided with a spring or
springs B, and label C, with the bar or catch C, the whole being suitably mounted
within the case D, (which is provided with the slit d), of the pencil E. The action
.. being as above described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is.
The general arrangement, combination and construction of the various parts
constituting my improved name and address attachment for umbrellas, sticks,
portmanteaus, bags, purses, pencil cases and the like, all substantially as and for the
purposes herein before described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 15th day of T.
