supports.
The Bottom of the holder will be left a little open for point of Umbrella to pass
through and to allow the wet to escape and can either be made with extra strong
canvas to support the Umbrella or a galvanized or other plate can be fixed for the'
ends to pass through or the bottom support can be made of sufficient strength to
allow holes to be pierced for umbrella ends to rest in, whichever is necessary but
thick Canvas (as it can be made any strength) will be sufficient & most simple.

page_text: I, FREDERICK JOHN GORLE, of Queen Street, Droitwich, Worcestershire.
Provision Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for "AN
UMBRELLA HOLDER FOR RAILWAY AND OTHER CARRIAGES" and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
The object of my Invention is to provide an umbrella holder of Willesden water-
proof and rot proof canvas or other suitable waterproof material to affix to the
doors or to other suitable parts of railway carriages, omnibuses, cars and other
vehicles to hold wet umbrellas and so add considerably to the comfort of
passengers.
I will describe with reference to the accompanying drawing the manner in which
my said Invention is to be performed; the same letters of reference on the drawing
indicate corresponding parts in all the corresponding Figures.
Figure 1 is a front view of my improved umbrella holder made with divisions
for the umbrellas; Figures 2 and 3 are a side view and a plan of the same
respectively; Figure 4 is a front view of my improved umbrella holder made
without the divisions; Figures 5 and 6 are a side view and a plan of the same
respectively; Figure 7 shews in a more general view an umbrella holder fixed to a
railway carriage door according to my Invention and Figure 8 is a sectional view
of the same.
A and B are the top and bottom supports respectively of wood or metal
(preferably galvanized metal) for the umbrella holder D which is made of
Willesden waterproof and rot proof canvas or other suitable waterproof material
which can either be made with divisions d as shewn in Figures 1, 2 and 3 or
without divisions as shewn in Figures 4, 5 and 6. I find five or six divisions most
suitable for railway carriages. I sometimes use a central support' or cross-piece C
having a band c¹ to strengthen the umbrella holder. The said supports A, B and C
are attached to the canvas part of the umbrella holder by means of rivets or nails
or by other suitable means and the bottom support B is preferably formed with or
attached to a dished or trough shaped part b₁ which forms the bottom part of the
umbrella holder as shewn in Figures.1, 2, 3, 7 and 8. I sometimes dispense with
the dished or trough shaped part 1 and make the bottom of the umbrella holder of
extra thickness of canvas as shewn in Figures 4, 5 and 6. In the bottom of the
umbrella bolder I provide holes b. or a pipe 68 leading to the outside of the carriage
(see Figure 8) for the escape of water.. The said supports A, B and C are attached
to the carriage door E by means of screws c.
I wish it to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details as
herein described and illustrated as variations can be made without departing from
the nature of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. In an umbrella holder for railway carriages, omnibuses, cars and other
vehicles, tho application and use of Willesden waterproof and rot proof canvas or

page_text: other suitable waterproof material as and for the purpose herein before described
and illustrated in my drawing.
2. An umbrella holder, for railway carriages, omnibuses, cars and other vehicles,
made of Willesden waterproof and rot proof canvas or other suitable waterproof
material as hereinbefore described and illustrated in my drawing.
