Improvements connected with the Utilization of Paper Cop Tubes.
1 EWALD HÖEFEL, of Lugan, Saxony, in the Empire of Germany, Bookkeeper 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 and accompanying drawings:-
My said Invention relates to the manufacture of walking sticks umbrella and
sunshade sticks, baskets, toys, picture frames, screens, chairs and stools, and other
useful and fancy articles, or articles of furniture or ornament and the like. My
invention consists in utilising for these purposes the waste paper cops and tubes used
in textile manufactures or paper cops and tubes such as are used to contain yarns and
fibres as is well understood.
To render my improved method of utilising such paper cops and tubes more clear
I will describe the manner in which an object, such for example as a walking stick is
manufactured reference being had to the annexed sheet of drawings.
Fig. 1 of the said drawings is a sectional view of a walking stick composed of
paper cops or tubes.
Fig. 2 is an outside view of a similar stick.
Fig. 3 shows convenient modes of securing together the portions of central core a.
In making the stick I take a rod or length of metal or a piece of sufficiently
strong iron wire a and to the bottom I screw or otherwise secure a ferule 6 having a
conical interior as shown the internal taper corresponding to the taper of the cops d.
The said cops are then threaded upon the core a until the core is clothed for a
sufficient length. I screw or otherwise attach a crook c which is shown in dotted
lines in Fig. 1, the attachment of the crook being effected by screwing the crook to
the core as shown at x Fig. 3 or by uniting the crook and the core by a screwed
union as at y in the same Fig. The crook c is covered by a handle of any suitable
material and form. The strung on cops d may be pressed firmly between the screw
crook c and the ferule b and they may be secured to each other and to the core by
means of glue or other suitable cement. When the stick has been completed in the
manner set forth the cops can be varnished polished or coloured according to taste, or
the cops may be coloured before being placed on the core and may be arranged in
groups so as to compose a parti-coloured stick.
Cylindrical cops might be used instead of the conical cops described and shown.
In Fig. 2 which is an exterior view of the stick the shape of the handle is varied
from the shape shown at Fig. 1. It will be evident that this method of placing
together quantities of waste paper cops and tubes may be utilised for may purposes
and for the production of various articles of ornament and use.
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 manufacture of walking sticks, or sticks for umbrellas or sunshades, picture
frames, baskets, toys and similar fancy goods from material produced by stringing
together conical or cylindrical paper cops or tubes upon a central core of metal or
other suitable material, the cops being secured together by means of glue or other
cement, and coloured or finished to suit the fancy substantially as described and
shown.
