Specification Accepted, 3rd Feb., 1888
I, OWEN GODWARD of Salem in the County of Columbiana, and State of Ohio,
United States of America, Salesman at Coal Mine, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the saune is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
My Invention relates to a combined whip and cane or stick; and will be described
with reference to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification in
which figure 1 is a side view of a combined whip and cane embodying my improve-
ment, when extended to form a whip. Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section
of the said combined whip and cane when contracted for use as a cane or stick.
Figure 3 is a longitudinal section shewing the telescopic joint of the same when
extended as in figure 1. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in
all the figures.
A is the handle section and D the whip section of the combined whip and cane.
The handle section A is composed of a tubular body B of sheet metal preferably iron,
of tapering form covered with a suitable wrapping C, such as that ordinarily used in
covering whip stocks. When the article is used as a cane the handle section A
completely encloses the tapering whip section D which is provided with the usual lash
and made as an ordinary whip, of a whalebone or other flexible core covered with a
suitable wrapping. When in use as a whip, the whip section D is drawn outward
until its inner larger end binds snugly in the smaller open end of the handle
section A.
E is a metallic ferrule secured on the inner end of the whip section D; F a
cylindrical block of leather, rubber, or an equivalent frictional material, also placed on
said end outside the ferrule E; and G a screw passed through the block F and
ferrule E into the core of the whip section D to strongly unite the parts. The
frictional block F adheres closely to the interior of the metallic tubular body B and
keeps the whip section firmly in place when extended, while the metallic ferrule E
acts as a gradual stop to prevent the whip section from being drawn out too far and
thereby binding too tightly.
The larger end of the tubular handle A is closed by a detachable plug H, a pin I
being passed transversely through the handle and plug to secure the latter in place.

page_text: The outer end of the plug H has a socket J to receive the neck of a block K of rubber
or other suitable material, when the article is in use as a whip, the block being
adapted to fit and close the smaller open end of the handle section A to serve as a
ferrule when the article is used as a cane or stick, as indicated in figure 2.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is ;-
1. In a combined whip and cane or stick, the combination with the inner tapering
whip section D, of a ferrule E on the thicker end of the same, a block F of rubber,
leather, or the like, outside the ferrule, and a screw G passed through the block F
and ferrule E into the whip section D, substantially as shewn and described.
2. In a combined whip and cane or stick, the combination of a tubular handle
section enclosing a telescopic whip section, a plug closing one end of the tubular
handle section and having a socket, and a removable plug or ferrule having a neck
adapted to fit the socket and to fit in the other end of the tubular handle section,
substantially as described.
