Improvements in or connected with Umbrellas and the like.
I, JOSEPH HUSBANDS, Manufacturer, of 45A, 46A, Basinghall Street, in the
City and County of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention for improvements in or connected with umbrellas and the
like relates to the securing devices of umbrellas or the like that are provided
with detachable covers and has for its object to improve and simplify the socket
connecting the detachable cover with the ends of the ribs of the frame.
A socket for such purpose consists of a tubular tapering socket fitting over the
end of the rib and an exterior eye or loop on the back or inside of the socket by
means of which the cover is secured to the socket. Hitherto the socket and the
loop have been made in separate pieces secured together.
Now according to this invention the tubular socket and eye are formed out of
one piece of metal, the eyes being formed on opposite sides of the blank that
come opposite one another when the blank is folded. In its preferred form the
rocket consists of a tubular tapered socket having a hollow ball or knob at its
outer end and cut away at the back or inside of its inner half. The eyes being
raised from the back or inside just below the cut away part.
