page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Umbrella or Walking Stick Attachment.
I, WILLIAM EDWARD MUNRO of 40 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, Draper, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an umbrella or walking stick attachment and consists
of a spring clip by means of which the umbrella or walking stick is suspended from
the coat or jacket of the person carrying the umbrella, for use in a tramway car
for example, to prevent the umbrella from being left in the car.
The clip may be attached to the umbrella handle by means of an ordinary
tassel, the clip being attached to the end of the tassel. The clip may be similar
to what is used for holding the end of a tie to the front of a shirt that is to say
having jaws held together under the influence of a spring. As a modification
I may employ a hook or the like. The clip is also useful upon all occasions when
it is required to have free use, of both hands; also to prevent the umbrella being
accidentally left in shops or other places,

I, WILLIAM EDWARD MUNRO of 40 Morningside Road, Edinburgh, Draper, 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 relates to an umbrella or walking stick attachment and consists
of a spring clip by means of which the umbrella or walking stick is suspended from
the coat or jacket of the person carrying the umbrella, for use in a tramway car
for example, to prevent the umbrella from being left in the car.
The clip may be attached to the umbrella handle by means of an ordinary
tassel, the clip being attached to the end of the tassel. The clip may be similar
to what is used for holding the end of a tie to the front of a shirt, that is to say
having jaws held together under the influence of a spring. As a modification
I may employ a hook or the like. The clip is also useful upon all occasions when
it is required to have free use of both hands; also to prevent the umbrella being
accidentally left in shops or other places.
The accompanying sheet of drawings explains the method of carrying out my
invention, Fig. 1, shewing a tassel with a spring clip, Fig. 2, the clip by itself,
Fig. 3, is a tassel with a safety pin, and Fig. 4, the safety pin by itself.

page_text: The clip A, Fig. 1, is provided with a slot a through which the cord, braid, or
ribbon B of the tassel is passed and retained at the point C by a metal or other
band c.
The said clip may be either plain, have a fancy top, or be mounted with any
pattern or device, such, as D in enamel, pastes, stones, gold, silver or other suitable
material.
The safety pin, Fig. 2, may be either secured by passing the braid through the
usual eyes at each end thereof, or by passing it through the rings which are
arranged as shewn. This pin may also be ornamented in any of the methods
before referred to.
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:
The attachment for suspending an umbrella or walking stick to any part of the
dress of the person using same, substantially as and for the purpose herein before
described and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
