Improvements relating to Show and Carrier Cases or Boxes for
Holding Umbrellas, Walking Sticks, and the like.
I, MAURICE HENRY BARNETT, of the Firm Barnett and Phillips, 9 Loudon
Wall, City of London, Umbrella and Parasol Merchant and Manufacturer, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has for object, certain improvements relating to show and carrier
cases or boxes for holding umbrellas, walking sticks, and the like.
For the purpose of my invention, I prepare a box or case with a front pocket
and between that and the back I leave a space in which two half boxes can be
fitted to lean outwardly from the top ends by tape or other hinge joints at the
bottom, so that the handles and upper parts of, say, umbrella covers can be
exposed, or I make the half boxes to lift out for side extension to certain limits by
retaining tapes; I also prepare a flap from the back, so that when the side or wing
boxes are closed to, it can he folded over and well down the front to fix the half
boxes and the contents and also the contents of the front chamber.
Boxes prepared in the foregoing manner are not only available for exposing
umbrellas, walking sticks, and the like for sale but give a finish and neatness to
the boxes and their contents combined with their compactness, they also facilitate
easy storage, and when closed and bound up can be transported by railway or
carrier without injury.

Improvements relating to Show and Carrier Cases or Boxes for
Holding Umbrellas, Walking Sticks, and the like.
I, MAURICE HENRY BARNETT, of the Firm Barnett and Phillips, 9 London
Wall, City of London, Umbrella and Parasol Merchant and Manufacturer,
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 has for object, certain improvements relating to show and carrier
cases or boxes for holding umbrellas, walking sticks, and the like.
For the purposo of my invention, I prepare a box or case with a front pocket
and between that and the back 1 leave a space in which two half boxes can be
fitted to lean outwardly from the top ends by tape or other hinge joints at the
bottom, so that the handles and upper parts of, say, umbrella covers can be
exposed, or I make the half boxes to lift out for side extension to certain limits
by retaining tapes; 1 also prepare a flap from the back, so that when the side or
ديم

page_text: wing hoxes are closed to, it can be folded over and well down the front to fix the
half boxes and the contents and also the contents of the front chamber.
The annexed drawings show my invention.
Figure 1, plan. Figure 2, front elevation. Figure 3, an edge view of a box
and side swing wings in an open condition.
Figure 4, perapentive view of modified box with draw out wings also in an open
condition and with the lid thrown up to show more clearly the means by which
the side wings are held in place when clored.
A, front of box or case with opening at the upper part and pocket below.
B, B, two half boxes or cases pivoted at C, C, Figure 2, to be thrown outwardly
from the top and rest at an angle by stads D, D, lodging against top edge rails E, E,
or be drawn outwardly, as at Figure 4.
The two half boxes have each an upper opening and a bottom pocket, and the
hack is provided with fold overflap or cover G showu in dotted lines open, and
closed in full lines in Figure 3, the sides H, H, of the smaller joint piece I being
so shaped that they hold the two half boxes secure when closed in.
J, is a fastening button or clip to keep the lid olosed.
Boxes or cases thus made can be with any kind of ornamentation for exposure
in shops, and by providing a loop tape, as at Figure 4, umbrellas, walking sticks,
and other like articles can be exposed for sale, giving a clear sight to samples of
the handles, and in the case of umbrellas and parasols the quality of silk or other
covers, otherwise the boxes can be used as packing or sampling cases for such
goods and be used as containers only as between the manufacturer and the retail
sellers, the articles being well secured from injury during transit.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The construction and employment of composite boxes or cases arranged for
opening and exposing goods of the kind mentioned by a movement of inner boxes
as set forth from the side edges, as shown.
2. Constructing combined holding and transit cases for unbrellas, walking
sticks, and the like with two outwardly moving half boxes as and in the manner
described and shown.
