I WILLIAM HOLLAND of the Firm of Cox Brothers and Holland of Percy Road
Greet in the County of Worcester Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of
this Invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists in constructing mounts or carriers for trade marks and
labels and in attaching the said mounts or carriers to the frames of umbrellas and
parasols in the manner hereinafter described.
According to my invention I make from thin sheet metal by a cutting out and
raising process a mount or carrier for the trade mark or label the said mount con-.
sisting of a narrow box like frame of a size proper to hold the trade mark or label
which when fixed in the mount is exposed to view through the open or perforated
front of the mount. The back of the mount is trough shaped each of the raised
sides of the trough being provided with three or more small ears or clips by which
the mount can be attached to the outside of the rib or stretcher of the umbrella
or parasol frame.
I prefer to use trade marks or labels printed on tin plate or other sheet metal
but trade marks or labels printed or otherwise produced on cardboard or other'
rigid material may be used.
"
In applying the trade mark or label to the metallic mount or carrier it is placed
with its printed side downwards in the back of the box like frame and the trough
sides of the frame are bent inwards so as to close them upon the edges of the
trade mark or label and retain it in the mount or carrier the trade mark or label
being exposed at the open or perforated front of the said mount. The mount
carrying the trade. mark or label is attached to the exterior of the hollow or solid
>
rib or stretcher. of the umbrella or parasol frame by placing the rib or stretcher,
within the trough shaped back of the mount and closing the cars or clips of the
said mount upon the rib or stretcher.
Instead of first fixing the trade mark or label in the trough shaped back of the
mount and afterwards closing the ears or clips upon the rib or stretcher the securing.
of the trade mark or label in the mount and the attaching of the mount to the rib or
stretcher may be effected at one operation.

I WILLIAM HOLLAND of the Firm of Cox Brothers and Holland of Percy Road. '
Greet in the County of Worcester Manufacturers do hereby declare the nature of
my invention and the manner in which the same is to be performed to be particularly..
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My invention consists in constructing mounts or carriers for trade marks and labels
and in attaching the said mounts or carriers to the frames of umbrellas and parasols in
the manner hereinafter described.

page_text: According to my invention I make from thin sheet metal by a cutting out and
raising process a mount or carrier for the trade mark or label, the said mount con-
sisting of a narrow box like frame of a size proper to hold the trade mark or label
which when fixed in the mount is exposed to view through the open or perforated
front of the mount. The back of the mount is trough shaped the raised sides of the
trough being closed on the outside of the rib or stretcher of the umbrella or parasol
frame for attaching the mount to the said rib or stretcher.
I prefer to use trade marks or labels printed on tin plate or other sheet metal but
trade marks or labels printed or otherwise produced on cardboard or other rigid
material may be used.
In applying the trade mark or label to the metallic mount or carrier it is placed
with its printed side downwards in the back of the box like frame and the trough
sides of the frame may be bent inwards so as to close upon the edges of the trade
mark or label and retain it in the mount or carrier the trade mark or label being
exposed at the open or perforated front of the said mount. The mount carrying the
trade mark or label is attached to the exterior of the hollow or solid rib or stretcher of
the umbrella or parasol frame by placing the rib or stretcher within the trough
shaped back of the mount and closing the sides of the said mount upon the rib or
stretcher.
Instead of first fixing the trade mark or label in the trough shaped back of the
mount and afterwards closing the trough sides of the mount upon the rib or stretcher
the securing of the trade mark or label in the mount and the attaching of the mount
to the rib or stretcher may be effected at one operation.
Figure 1 of the accompanying Drawing represents in plan; Figure 2 in side
elevation and Figure 3 in cross section a trough rib (or stretcher) drawn to a large
scale to which a mount or carrier for a trade mark made and attached according to
my invention is applied. The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in the
several Figures of the drawing.
a is the trough rib or stretcher; b is the box like frame of the trade mark mount or
carrier the said frame having car pieces cc at its ends for resting on the top of
the rib or stretcher a and b 2 are the trough sides of the mount which are closed
upon the outside of the rib or stretcher a as best seen in Figure 3; 2 is the trade
mark (or label) printed preferably on tin plate or other sheet metal, the trade mark
(or label) being exposed at the open or perforated front or box like frame of the
mount.
In making the mount and attaching it to the rib or stretcher I proceed as
follows:-
I cut out at a press the thin sheet metal blank represented in Figure 4 and by a
shaping operation bend the side pieces 262 of the blank nearly at right angles to the
middle part and thereby produce the partly made mount represented in plan side
elevation and end elevation in Figure 5. By a further shaping and piercing
operation the closed front of the partly made mount is perforated with the longi-
tudinal slot d so as to convert it into a narrow box like frame b and the trough
sides brought parallel to one another as represented in the finished mount shown in
plan longitudinal section and cross section in Figure 6. The mount or carrier is
now ready to receive the trade mark (or label) 2 to be attached to the rib or
stretcher. To effect this the separate trade mark Figure 7 is placed with its printed
side downwards in the back of the box like frame and the mount carrying the
trade mark is passed on to the rib a and the sides of the said mount closed
upon the outside of the rib as seen in Figure 3 the car pieces c, c at the same time
being flattened on the open top of the rib. The mount is thereby secured to the
rib the trade mark being held between the frame like front b of the mount and
the edges of the trough rib as seen in Figure 3.
The trade mark or label may be attached to the mount before the mount is
attached to the rib or stretcher. In this case the trade mark or label is placed
face downwards on the back of the box like frame 6 and the trough sides are

page_text: slightly bent inwards so as to close them upon the edges of the trade mark or
label and retain it in the mount or carrier but I prefer to secure the trade mark
or label to the mount and attach the mount to the rib or stretcher at one operation
as hereinbefore described.
Mounts or carriers made according to my invention may be applied to solid ribs
and stretchers as well as to trough ribs and stretchers.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and the manner in which the same is to be performed I declare that I claim
as my invention :-
The improvements in mounts or carriers for trade marks and labels and in
attaching the said mounts or carriers to the frames of umbrellas and parasols
hereinbefore described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing; that is to
say, sheet metal mounts or carriers consisting of a narrow box like frame having
a trongh shaped back the trade mark or label being exposed through the open or
perforated front of the frame, the said mount or carrier carrying the trade mark
or label being attached to the rib or stretcher by closing the trough sides of the
mount upon the outside of the rib or stretcher substantially as described and
illustrated.
