made as shown in Figure one.
Figure 14. is a view of umbrella handle with spring tip-cap affixed with part one
made as shown in Figure four.
To fix spring tip-cap part one should be rivetted firmly to handle or stick of

The nature of this tip-cap is self-adjusting, to secure tip ends of ribs of umbrella,
parasol, or sunshade, part three must be pulled towards handle end of umbrella,
parasol, or sunshade, tip-ends of ribs must then be pressed closely to stick and
when part three is released it will spring into the position of encircling tip-ends
of ribs.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
A spring tip-cap for securing tip-ends of ribs of umbrellas, parasols, or sunshades,
comprising in combination, the metal band F. (part one) drilled with rivet holes a.
and ring C attached outside at extreme handle end, or made as shown in Figure
four, with ring C fixed a short distance from handle end of metal band F. (part
one) with rivet holes b. drilled below ring C. (part two) E. a taper spiral spring of
flat steel closing within itself when compressed, (part three) G a metal band with
handle end bevelled and inside ring D attached about two thirds from handle
