1 ELIZABETH RUTH PEYMAN of South Bank Milverton Leamington in the
County of Warwick do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as.
follows:-
:-
This invention consists in the combination of a fan with tho handle of an umbrella

manner and in addition the fan can also be used in the ordinary manner when with-
drawn from its handle-sheath, or case.
In carrying out my invention I provide an ordinary fan, the handle end of which
may be formed of any convenient shape but which would by preference be formed in a
knob shape.
I next provide an umbrella or parasol the handle of which would be made hollow a
suitable distance for the purpose of forming a case or sheath, in which to place the
fan; the extreme end of the umbrella or parasol handle would in some cases be
provided with a female thread, the knob or other shaped end of the fan would in some
cases be provided with a male thread in such a manner that when the fan is placed
inside its sheath the knob end of the said fan would screw into the end of the umbrella
or parasol.
Or in lieu of the male or female thread provided in the manner hereinbefore
described I may form the knob handle end of the fan with a cup, screwed on its
internal periphery and then provide a screw thread on the external periphery of the

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
The Combination of a Fan with an Umbrella or Parasol.
I ELIZABETH RUTH PEYMAN of South Bank Milverton Leamington in the County
of Warwick Lady 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 consists in the combination of a fan with the handle of an umbrella
or parasol in such a manner that the umbrella or parasol can be used in the ordinary
manner and in addition the fan can also be used in the ordinary manner when
withdrawn from its handle sheath or case.
In carrying out my invention I provide an ordinary fan the handle end of which
may be formed of any convenient shape but which would by preference be formed in
a knob shape.
I next provide an umbrella or parasol the bandle of which would be made hollow a
suitable distance for the purpose of forming a case or sheath in which to place the
fan the extreme end of the umbrella or parasol handle would in some cases be
provided with a female thread; the knob or other shaped end of fan would in some
cases be provided with a male thread in such a manner that when the fan is placed
inside its sheath the knob end of the said fan would screw into the end of the umbrella
or parasol.
Or in lieu of the male or female thread provided in the manner hereinbefore
described I may form the knob handle end of the fan with a cap screwed on its

page_text: C_
internal periphery and then provide a screw thread on the external periphery of the
umbrella or parasol handle.
I may fasten the fan handle to the umbrella or parasol by any other suitable
equivalent mechanical means.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings the
manner in which my invention is constructed and used.
Figure 1 represents a broken section of fan connected to a knob handle by means
of an external screw thread formed on the neck of knoḥ, taking into an internal
screw thread formed at the end of umbrella or parasol.
Figure 2 represents a sectional plan of Figure 1 excepting that the fan is viewed
.edgeways.
Figure 3 represents an umbrella or parasol handle connected to fan in a precisely
similar manner to Figures 1 and 2 excepting that the knob handle screws over the end
• instead of into the end.
..
Figure 4 represents a sectional elevation of parasol or umbrella handle connected
to a knob handle the neck of which is provided with a 'groove to receive a locking
knob and on the neck of which is provided also a spring hook on which to hang a fan
of any desired shape.
Figure 5 represents a plan of figure 4.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
a figures 1. 2. 3. 4. and. 5. represents the stem handle of parasol or umbrella,
b represents the knob handle, e represents the fan.
I
In some cases I provide a knob handle as represented at 6 figures 1 and 2 such
knob handle being formed with a neck part d and further extended into a shank
part and forked cheeks g; the ribs of the fan c are secured between forked cheeks
by means of the stud or revit ; the knob handle neck part d is provided with an
external screw thread and the stem of parasol or umbrella is provided with an internal
screw thread e.
The parts represented at figure 1 show the stem of umbrella or parasol broken off,
it will be readily understood that a fan of any desired length and width can be
connected to the forked cheeks g the stem of umbrella or parasol being made hollow
or tubular a sufficient length to receive the fan.
Instead of screwing the knob inside the stem I can form the knob handle in a
cup-shape the cup being screwed internally and the stem screwed externally, the
knob handle would then be screwed over the stem of umbrella or parasol as clearly
represented at figure 3.
In lieu of the screwing arrangement illustrated at figures 1, 2 and 3 I in some cases
prefer to connect the knob handle to the stem of umbrella or parasol by means of a
- spring actuated stud taking into a groove j formed in the knob handle as hereinafter
set forth.
: A faceplate k of any suitable shape is provided, through which is pierced a central
stud hole and also two or more.screw holes. A shanked locking stud and an helical
spring m are also provided, the spring m being placed over the shank of locking
stud the shank end of locking stud is then passed through the central stud hole
pierced in the face plate ; a suitable lifting 'knob n is then secured to the shank of
...the locking stud over the upper surface of faceplate k, the faceplate, the stud, and the
spring are then placed in position as represented in section at figure 4, the face plate k
being secured to the stem a by means of screws, rivets, or other equivalents.
The knob handle connected to the stem a in the manner hereinbefore described:
could be removed from the stem in the following manner; the lifting knob n would
be raised thereby compressing the spring m and drawing upwards the locking stud
out of the groove."
Instead of connecting the ribs of fan to forked cheeks 9 by means of stud or
rivet h, in some cases I provide a spring hook o secured to the handle knob, any
ordinary fan could then be taken, the loop p of the fan being hung on to the hook o
as clearly represented at figures 4 and 5.

page_text: The hook o can be attached to the screwing knobs illustrated at figures 1, 2, and 3;
in such cases the shank part d would of course be dispensed with.
I have not illustrated the shade and ribs of umbrella or parasol because such parts
are old and consequently form no part of my invention.
Although the handle illustrated at figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, is a spherical knob
nevertheless I do not confine myself to that particular configuration as I prefer in
some cases to use an oval or other shaped knob, an ordinary loop handle, a crook
bandle, or a handle projecting at right angles from the stem, the neck of either
of such handles being formed with my improved internal screw, external screw, or
external groove.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The making of the stem of an umbrella or parasol hollow, and the combination
therewith of a handle to which is attached a fan, so that the fan can be used for
fanning purposes in conjunction with the handle, and so that the fan can be after-
wards sheathed within the stem, the handle screwing into or onto the stem of
umbrella or parasol and when so connected forming and constituting the handle
of the umbrella or parasol as illustrated and described in reference to figures 1, 2,
and 3.
- 2nd. The combination with the hollow stem of an umbrella or parasol, of a
handle; such handle being provided with a neck the periphery of which is grooved
and the end of which is provided with a spring hook on to which is connected a fan,
in such manner that the fan can be unhooked and used for fanning purposes and
afterwards reconnected to spring hook and sheathed within the stem the handle being
secured to the stein by means of a locking stud taking into the neck-groove, the
handle so secured to the stem forming a constituting the handle of umbrella or
parasol as illustrated and described in reference to figures 4 and 5.
Dated this 7th day of February 1890.
