'I JAMES JOHN INCE of 64 Bishopsgate Street Without in the City of London,
Umbrella Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN OR APPLICABLE TO GARDEN AND SEASIDE CANOPIES, CARRIAGE
UMBRELLAS, AND THE LIKE" to be as follows :—
This invention relates to the construction and application to garden and seaside
canopies, carriage umbrellas and the like of a table which can be adjusted and
fixed at any required position by means of an improved joint constructed as herein-
after described.
For this purpose I provide a table top or its equivalent with or without flaps ;
in the centre or other suitable part of the table I form a hole to allow the table
top to be placed and to slide on the usual fixed stick or pole of a garden or seaside
canopy, carriage umbrella, or any similar support; to the said hole and preferably
under the table top I adapt a socket which can freely slide on the said stick or pole.
Within this socket I place a tubular clamp or spring which can be operated by
means of a thumb screw from outside the socket.
By this arrangement the table top, being placed on a stick or pole or other
equivalent support, may be adjusted and fixed at any position as may be required
by means of the said clamp and thumb screw.

Improvements in or Applicable to Garden and Seaside Canopies,
Carriage Umbrellas, and the like:
I JAMES JOHN INCE of 64 Bishopsgate Street Without, in the city of London,
Umbrella Manufacturer 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 the construction and application to garden and seaside
canopies, carriage umbrellas and the like of a table which can be adjusted and

page_text: fixed at any required position by means of an improved joint constructed as
hereinafter described.
For this purpose I provide a table top or its equivalent with or without flaps; in
the centre or other suitable part of the table I form a hole to allow the table top to
be placed and to slide on the usual fixed stick or pole of a garden or seaside
canopy, carriage umbrella or any similar support; to the said hole and preferably
under the table top I adapt a socket which can freely slide on the said stick or
pole. Within this socket I place a tubular clamp or spring which can be operated
by means of a thumb screw from outside the socket.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will proceed to describe
the same by reference to the accompanying drawing in which figure 1 is an
elevation shewing my improved joint applied to a table and tent stick, pole or the
like; figure 2 is a section of figure 1 and figure 3 is a plan of the improved joint
from the underside-Similar letters in all the figures represent similar parts.
This
a represents a portion of an ordinary table top having a central hole b, therein
so as to allow the said table top to be placed and slide on the stick or pole c, of a
garden or seaside canopy, carriage umbrella or other suitable support; d, is a metal
socket provided with a flange e, to allow of it being fixed to the table top a.
socket d, is of such a diameter that it can freely slide on the stick or pole c; f, is
the tubular clamp or spring placed within the socket d; and g, is a thumb screw
working through the boss h, on the socket for operating the clamp ƒ.
By this arrangement it will be obvious that if the table top a, be placed on the
stick or pole c, or other equivalent support the said table top a, may be adjusted
and fixed at any position on the stick or pole c, as may be required, by means of
the said clamp f, and thumb screw g.
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
1. The construction and application to garden and seaside canopies, carriage
umbrellas and the like of a table top provided with my improved joint substantially
as hereinbefore described and represented in the accompanying drawing.
2. The manufacture and use for the purpose described of the improved joint
constructed substantially as hereinbefore described and represented in the accom-
panying drawing.
