page_text: I´ennsylvania, United States of America, Manufacture of Umbrellas, 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.—-
My invention consists of an umbrella sheath, formed of an encasement and
ferrule so constituted, that when the umbrella is in position within the sheath, the
combined parts present the appearance of a walking stick.
In the accompanying drawing
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of an umbrella sheath embodying my
invention.
Figure 2 represents a longitudinal section of a portion thereof, on an enlarged
scale.
Figure 3 represents a section on line, a, Figure 2.
Figure 4 represents a side elevation of the feriale detached, on an enlarged
scale
Figure 5 represents a longitudinal section, showing the manner of attaching the
encasement to the ferrule thereof.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several
figures.
A designates a ferrule, which is formed of the plug B, and shell C, said plug
having if desired, the chamber D, in the inner end thereof. Sccmed to or formed
with the outer end of the shell C is the collar E, which is generally of less
diameter than said shell, and is formed with a nul F on the other end, and with a
circumferential groove or neck G between said nuil and the adjacent edge of the
shell, said colla having a slot H which extends in the duection of the length of
the ferrule, and on its inner wall the shoulder J, it being noticed that a chamber
exists in the shell below said shoulder, so that only said shoulder comes in contact
with the side of the stick, and firmly helds the same in the ferrule, and avoids
scratching of the stick.
K designates an encasement of leather or other suitable pliable material, which
18 connected with the collar F, and adapted to receive an umbrella within the
same, while the end of the stick passes through said collar into the ferrule, and is
sented on the plug thereof.
The encasement is primarily open at both ends, and has at the end adjacent to
the handle of the umbrella, the longitudinal shit L, and fastening devices M for
closing said slit, it being seen in Figure 1, that the umbrella as sheathed, now
presents the appearance of a walking stick.
In order to connect tho encasement with the collar E, the former is turned
side out, and passed over the collar and feuule so that the narrow end of the
encasement 18 around said collar, as shown in Figure 5. The portion of the
encasement surrounding the Beck G is now secured in the latter, either by
the piece G of thread or wire wound around said portion, thus forcing the Intter
uto said neck, or by stitches passed through said portion and neck the escapement
thus being firmly connected with the collar and consequently with the ferrule, it
being presented from disconnection owing to its fastening in the neck.
The encasement is now turned inside out, whereby said fastening is concealed,
and the bend and two thicknesses A' of the eucasement occupies the groove and
נס....

receive the umbrella, as in Figme 1, it being noticed that the shoulder J on the
mer wall of the collar embraces the stick of the umbrella, thus holding and
steadying the same within the sheath, and presenting rattling and wabbling
the cof The scam N of the encasement around the collar euters the slot H, so
that there is no bulging of the sheath at said place, and the ferrule and sheath
present a flush Joint between them.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and what manner the same is to be performed, declare that what I
claim 18.-
1st. An umbrella sheath consisting of an encasement, and a ferrule connected
therewith, which when the umbrella is inserted therein, the combined paits present
the appearance of a walking stick, substantially as described.
2nd. A ferrule having a colla attached to the end of the shell thereof, and a
neck on said collar, whereby an umbrella sheath may be secured to said collar on
the neck thereof, substantially as described.
3rd. A ferrule for an umbrella sheath comprising a shell, and a collar on the
end of said shell, said collar having a neck on its exterior, and a shoulder on its
interioi, and said shell having a chamber therein below said shoulder, substantially
as described.
4th In an umbrella sheath, a feule, and a collar on said ferule provided
with a neck, said sheath being secured to said collar in the neck thereof, and said
collar having on its inner wall a shoulder, substantially as and for the purpose
Bet forth.
5th. A ferrule for an unbrella sheath, comprising a shell and collar, the latter
being provided with a slot for the seam of the encasement of the sheath,
