page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Thomas Octavius Jones, do hereby
declare the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement, that is to say :—
This Invention of a new manufacture of crystal handles and tops for
umbrellas, sun shades, and walking sticks, consists of making these
handles and tops of cut or blown glass, and in all colours and black. In
some cases they are plain solid handles, and in other cases a receptacle
is formed in the top of the handle, fitted with a stopper or ornamental
top so as to form a scent bottle, the top being mounted or otherwise, as
fancy may dictate.
This Invention is also applicable to riding whips, particularly ladies'
riding whips.
These crystal handles will be found very cool and agreeable to the
hand and exceedingly ornamental.
I do not confine myself to any shape or configuration in particular, as
any design may be used.
Having thus described the nature of my said Invention, I declare that
what I claim and desire to be secured to me by the herein-before in part
recited Letters Patent is, the new manufacture of crystal handles and
tops for umbrellas, sun shades, and walking sticks, and riding whips,
substantially as herein-before described or any mere modification
thereof.
In witness whereof, I, the said Thomas Octavius Jones, have hereunto
set my hand and seal, this Fourteenth day of November, in the
