PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Umbrella Holder.
I, ROSA PRUDDEN, of 45, Pevensey Road, Eastbourne, in the County of Sussex,

My invention relates to improvements in .holders for umbrellas whereby artists.
and others are enabled to adjust an umbrella in any position and at any angle.

fit into a socket (which may be formed upon or attached to a clamping device for
securing the holder to a table or other article) in which it can pivot and carrying
at its upper end a pivotted support preferably grooved longitudinally to receive
the handle of the umbrella and which forms a clip. In conjunction with this
pivotted clip I arrange a rack or other device by means of which the said clip
may be fixed at any required angle, the bar or rod allowing of the adjustment for
position, the said clip and bar or rod thus forming a kind of universal joint.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Umbrella Holder.
I, ROSA PRUDDEN, of 45 Pevensey Road, Eastbourne, in the County of Sussex,.
Spinster, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in holders for umbrellas whereby artists.
and others are enabled to adjust an umbrella in any position and at any angle.
In carrying out my invention I provide a bar or rod adapted at its lower end to
fit into a socket (which may be formed upon or attached to a clamping device for
securing the holder to a table or other article) in which it can pivot, and carrying
at its upper end a pivotted support preferably grooved longitudinally to receive
the handle of the umbrella and which forms a clip. In conjunction with this
pivotted clip I arrange a rack or other device by means of which the said clip may
be fixed at any required angle.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same by
reference to the accompanying drawing in which :-
Figures 1 and 2 are front and side elevations respectively of my improved
umbrella holder.
a is the screw-clamp adapted to be secured to a table or the like, and b is the
bar or rod carried by the said clamp. As shewn, the said bar or rod is screw-
threaded at its lower end and adapted to work in correspondingly screw-threaded
apertures in the clamp. c is the support pivotted to the upper end of the bar b,.
the said support being grooved, as shewn clearly in Figure 1, to receive the handle
of an umbrella as indicated by dotted lines in Figure 2. d is a plate which is
hinged to the support c and which serves to firmly hold an umbrella handle in the
said support.
e is the rack which at one end is pivotted to the support c and.
adapted to engage with a pin upon the rod or bar b.
It will be readily understood that in order to adjust the umbrella as required it.
is only necessary to rotate the rod in the clamp a and to adjust the angle of the

page_text: support c by means of the rack e, is a thumb-screw by means of which the rod b
may be fixed in any position to which it is adjusted.
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 manufacture and use of the improved umbrella holder hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
