PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
' Improvements in Attaching Trade Mark and like Tablets to
Paragon Ribs and Stretchers of Umbrellas and Parasols.
We, WILLIAM CORDER, of Allison Street Works, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, a Director of Corder & Turley, Limited, Umbrella Rib and
Stretcher Manufacturers, and FREDERICK JOHN TURLEY Junior, of 229, Bristol
Road, Edgbaston, in the County of Warwick, Manager to the said Company, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
This invention relates to improvements in attaching trade mark and like labels
or tablets to Paragon ribs and stretchers of umbrellas and parasols.
In carrying out our invention we first form a hole in the rib or stretcher ;
we then take a bar or strip of metal formed by stamping or otherwise
with a projection on its lower edge and with a kind of hook at each end.
This metal strip is then fixed to the rib or stretcher by passing the projection
into the hole and rivetting the same therein. We then take a tablet formed of
any suitable material such as xylonite, celluloid or metal covered with paper
and pass the ends thereof under the hooks; the said hooks are then advan-
tageously bent down onto the tablet.
Instead of forming the bar with the hooks, we sometimes form it with pins or
projections, in which case the tablet is formed with a hole at each end and after
passing the same over the projections the latter are rivetted over the tablet.
The bar or strip instead of being provided with hooks or projections as herein-
before described may be simply cut away to receive the tablet which in this case
is bifurcated at each end and is fixed in position by being forced into the cut-away
part of the bar, the bifurcations taking on each side of upright portions on
the bar.
Instead of forming the bar or strip in one piece, we sometimes employ two pieces
which are rivetted into the rib or stretcher and a wire or bar is provided to form a
filling or supporting piece; the ends of the label or tablet are then passed under
inclined surfaces in the said supporting pieces.
In some cases two upright pieces are employed and a filling or supporting piece,
the upright pieces corresponding with the ends of the bar or strip herein before
described, the tablet being fixed in a similar manner.

We, WILLIAM CORDER, of Allison Street Works, Birmingham, in the County
of Warwick, a Director of Corder & Turley, Limited, Umbrella Rib and
Stretcher Manufacturers, and FREDERICK JOHN TURLEY Junior, of 229, Bristol
Road, Edgbaston, in the County of Warwick, Manager to the said Company, 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 improvements in attaching trade mark and like labels
or tablets to Paragon ribs and stretchers of umbrellas and parasols.
In order to enable our invention to be clearly understood we will describe how
it can be carried into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing, the
several figures of which are drawn to a scale of about double full size.
We first form a hole a in the rib or stretcher b as shewn in Figure 1 which is a
longitudinal section of a part of a rib or stretcher; we then take a carrier made of
a bar or strip c of metal formed by stamping or otherwise such as is shewn in side
elevation in Figure 2 the said carrier c being formed with a projection c¹ on its
lower edge and with a kind of hook d at each end. This carrier is then fixed to
the rib or stretcher 6 by passing the projection c¹ into the hole a and rivetting the
same therein, as clearly shewn in longitudinal section in Figure 3. We then take
a tablet e, such as is shewn in Figure 4, formed of any suitable material preferably
of xylonite or celluloid but it may be made of metal covered with paper and pass
the ends thereof under the hooks d, d; the said hooks are then advantageously
bent down onto the tablet e as clearly shewn in longitudinal section in Figure 5.
Figure 6 is a transverse section on the line 6-6, Figure 5, and Figure 7 is a plan
shewing the tablet fixed in a rib or stretcher.
Instead of forming the carrier c with the hooks d, d as hereinbefore described we
sometimes form it with pins or projections d', d', as shewn in Figure 8, in which
case the tablet e, as shewn in Figure 9, is formed with a hole fat each end and
after passing the same over the projections d', d' the latter are rivetted over the
tablet as shewn in longitudinal section and plan in Figures 10 and 11 respectively.
In the longitudinal section shewn in Figure 12, the carrier, instead of being
provided with hooks or projections as hereinbefore described, is simply cut away
to receive the tablet e which, as shewn in Figure 13, is bifurcated at each end and
is fixed in position by being forced into the cut-away,part of the carrier C, the
bifurcations taking on each side of the upright portions d', d. Figure 14 shews
a plan of the rib or stretcher with the label or tablet applied. The carrier c in
this arrangement is shewn furnished with two projections c¹, c¹ rivetted into
corresponding holes in the rib or stretcher b.
Instead of. forming the carrier c in one piece, we sometimes (as illustrated in
Figures 15, 16 and 17) employ two pieces such as g which are rivettel into the rib
or stretcher and a wire or bar g' is provided to form a filling or supporting piece;
the ends of the label or tablet are then passed under the inclined surfaces of the
pieces 9, 9, as shewn in Figures 15 and 16, Figure 15 being a longitudinal section
and Figure 16 a plan. Figure 17 is a section on the line 17-17 of Figure 15.
'
In the arrangement shewn in Figure 18 two upright pieces g, g are employe
and a filling or supporting piece 9, the upright pieces correspon ling with th
ends d³, d of the carrier shewn in the arrangement illustrated in Figure 12, the
tablet e being fixed in a similar manner.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
•
1. Attaching trade mark and like labels or tablets to Paragon ribs or
stretchers of umbrellas or parasols by the use of a carrier provided with hooks
or projections, the said bar or strip being rivetted in the rib or stretcher and
the ends of the labels or tablets passed under the hooks or rivetted onto the
projections substantially as herein before described and illustrated in Figures 1
to 7, and in 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the accompanying drawing.
2. The modifications hereinbefore described and illustrated in Figures 12 to 14,
Figures 15 to 17. and Figure 18 of the accompanying drawing.
3. Paragon umbrella ribs and stretchers having trade mark or like labels or
tablets fixed thereto in the manner substantially as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated in the several figures of the accompanying drawing.
