I, FELIX MILVENNA, of Fern Bank Windsor Road Levenshulme, Manchester, in
the County of Lancashire Shop-Fitter do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows
-
This invention relates to improvements in stands for exhibiting umbrellas, walking-
sticks or other such lihe articles in shops or stalls, and his for its object to render such
stands readily appliable to and removable from the corners or other parts of the
windows, shop, or stall, to hold a number of such articles and to facilitate a simpler
and better exhibiting than heretofore has been the case
My invention consists principally in the combination of a socket or sockets suitably
fixed to the corners or other parts of the windows, shop, or still, with a movable
platform or platforms provided respectively with a pin or stud to fit into or hinge onto
the said socket or sockets, so as to form a binge like connection, and be readily
movable and adjustable
૧
The said platform or platforms I form preferably segment like and with a suitable
number of holes, into which the umbrellas, walking-sticks or other such like articles
to be exhibited are placed

the County of Lancashire, Shop Fitter, 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 stands for exhibiting umbrellas, walking
sticks or other such like articles, in shops or stalls, and has for its object to render
such stands readily applicable to and removable from the corners or other parts of the
windows, shop, or stall, to hold a number of such articles, and to facilitate a simpler
and better exhibiting, than heretofore has been the case
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood I have caused to
be appended hereunto one sheet of drawings marked with letters of reference
indicating like parts in the various figures
Figs 1 & 3 are side views, and Fig 2 an end view of my improvements detached
Figs 46 & 7 are perspective views showing some of various applications and
modifications of the same
In carrying out my invention and referring to the Figs generally, the improve-
ments consist principally in the combination of a socket or sockets suitably fixed to
the corners or other parts of the windows, shop, or stall,-with a-movable platform or
platforms b, preferably of wood, provided respectively with a pin or stud c, to fit into
or hinge onto the said socket or sockets a, so as to form a hinge like connection and
be radially movable and adjustable
The said platform or platforms 6 I form preferably segment like and with a suitable
number of holes d (see more particularly Fig. 1 2 3 5 & 6) into which the
umbrellas, walking-sticks, or other such-like articles to be exhibited are placed, by
inserting the ends thereof into the same
The upper end of the platform or stand 6 1 furnish either with a pin or stud e to fit
into the socket a, as shown in Fig 1, or I form the same with hole f to ht
onto a pin or stud c formed on the socket a, see Fig 3, which latter may be arranged
stationary or sliding on a rod as shown in Fig 7
Fig 4 shows the application of the platform or stand 6 to a pillar g, in which case
the socket or sockets a are formed on a clip h, secured round the same
Fig 5 shows the platform or stand b applied to a window gallery i
Fig 6 shows number of platforms or stands 6 and sockets a combined with a
base, forming a readily movable stand
Fig 7 represents a shop window fitted with various forms of platforms or stands 6
and in various positions

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
-
In stands for holding and displaying umbrellas, walking-sticks or such like articles,
the combination of a socket or sockets a with a platform or platforms 6 respectively,
connected together hinge-like and radially movable, substantially as and for the
purpose specified
