A New or Improved Receptacle for Umbrellas and the like, for
Use in Railway and other Vehicles, and other Places.
I, JOHN JONES WILSON, of 20 Balham Grove Balham London S.W.
Commission Agent 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 :-
My invention relates to a holder or receptacle in which to place umbrellas
walking sticks or other kindred articles, and is intended to be fixed upon the inside
of the doors of railway carriages, tram-cars, or upon any other vehicle or vertical
place whatsoever. It would be constructed of zinc brass iron tin wood or any
other material most suitable. It would be of the following or other dimensions.
25 inches long. 12 inches wide. From front to back at top 2 inches at bottom
1 inch. The bottom would be inch lower at one side than the other. Upon the
lower side at back and level with the bottom would be fixed a tube of sufficient
length to pass through the door or other place for the purpose of drainage.
The
top of the "holder" would be left open or divided into spaces or divisions, such
spaces or divisions extending for a suitable distance within the holder in a down-
ward direction, for maintaining the perpendicularity of the umbrellas or the like
when placed therein.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood I have appended a sheet
of drawings in which
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my said invention, while Fig. 2 is a side elevation
of same.
Figs. 3 and 4 are front and side elevations of the said holder, as it would appear
when fixed upon a door or other vertical surface.
Referring to the drawings, A is the said receptacle or holder, provided with a
suitable flange B, or lugs in lieu thereof, in which are any number of countersunk
holes C, by which the said holder may be screwed to any suitable vertical surface D
shewn in the drawings as a door, for example, and which may be the door of a
tram car or railway carriage.
The said holder may be constructed in any size according to the capacity
required, and in such a manner that the depth of same from front to back at the
top would be, preferably, twice that of the bottom, the former of which may be
divided into spaces, or provided with circular or other openings E, into which
umbrellas or the like F may be placed, as shewn in Fig. 3, each of which may be
divided from its neighbours by a partition extending for a suitable distance down-
ward within the holder, as shewn by the dotted lines G in Fig. 3. The bottom or
lower end of A would be slightly out of borizontal truth and lowest at one corner,
shewn by H, and at this point an opening would be provided in the back of A to
which may be connected a tube J, of sufficient length to pass through the substance
of the door or the like D, to carry off the drainings from wet umbrellas or the
like F, which in the case of railway or tramcar doors would not require any
receptacle therefor, but for other places or other doors, a receptacle such as K,
shewn by dotted lines in Fig. 4, may be conveniently employed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The construction and use of the herein described receptacle A, having at its
upper surface any number of holes or divisions E, with or without partitions G.

off tube J and the application of same fixed to the inside of tram car, railway
carriage and other doors, or other vertical surfaces, substantially as and for the
purposes herein set forth and shewn.
Dated this 3rd day of August.
