WILLIAM CORAH Junr. of the Firm of Henry Holland & Co. of Salop Works
Manufacturer Highgate Park Birmingham and WALTER NEWTON Toolmaker
of 35 Conybere Street Birmingham both in the County of Warwick do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
Our invention consists of improvements in holders for attaching trade marks and
labels to umbrella and parasol ribs or stretchers, by which such holders have a closer
appearance when fixed on the rib or stretcher.
According to our invention a blank is cut out of thin sheet metal having a
tongue at each end; the outside parts of the blank and the tongue at each end are
bent to right angles with the middle part of the blank, somewhat in the form of a
box; a piece is then cut out of the middle to allow the trade mark or letters on the
label, when fixed in the holder, to be seen; the trade mark or label is placed face
downwards in the holder, which is placed in a tool, and the tongue at each end of
the holder is pressed downwards on to the ends of the trade mark or label, thus
securing it; the rib or stretcher is placed in the holder, and the sides are closed
round the back of the rib or stretcher; the trade mark or label is seen through the
space in the front of the holder.
Dated this 4th day of October 1892.
