COMI LUID DIECIFICATION.
A Combination of Portemonnaie or Purse with an Umbrella, Parasol,
or Walking Stick.
I, THOMAS WILLIAM Cox Station Master of Worksworth, Derby 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 has for its object to provide a convenient and simple device, by
means of which money may be carried safely out of doors other than by carrying
it in an ordinary purse in the pocket. My said invention having especial reference
to the requirements for ladies when shopping.
In carrying out my said invention, form a hollow ball or otherwise suitably
shaped receptacle or purse of metal, wood, leather or any other suitable material,
furnishing the same with a hinged lid, or a screw off portion to give access to the
interior of the purse receptacle, and enable money to be placed therein. The base
of the said purse receptacle is furnished with a projecting portion having therein a
hole threaded internally to admit of the whole being attached to the top of a
walking stick, umbrella, or parasol which is furnished with a screw threaded spindle
for the purpose, the receptacle in this case being detachable.
I may however form the said purse receptacle of the material of which the said
walking stick umbrella or parasol is composed. In either case the purse receptacle
forms the handle or head-knob of the article to which it is applied."
In the sheet of drawings hereunto annexed
Fig. I represents an enlarged vertical section of one form of my improved purse
receptacle, the same being furnished with a screw-off top.
Fig. II represents an enlarged vertical section of a second form of my said
invention namely the receptacle having a hinged lid.
The same letters of reference in both figures indicate the like parts.
In Fig. I A is the main body of the receptacle and B is the cover or lid which
is detachable by reason of the screwed socket joint C. D indicates the herein
before mentioned arrangement for attaching the whole to the top of an umbrella
walking stick or parasol.
In Fig. II E represents an ordinary hinge and F is an ordinary spring fastener
to keep the lid closed.
My improved purse may consist of one simple compartment as shewn in the
figures, or I may divide it internally into any number of convenient compartments
to keep coins of different sizes or values, distinct from one another.
As my invention is capable of some modifications without departing from the
principle thereof, I do not restrict myself to materials or dimensions, or to the
precise form or placement of the several parts thereof.
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 :-
A hollow receptacle or purse formed for attachment to the top of walking sticks,
umbrellas, or parasols, all as described in the aforegoing Specification, and
illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
