Improvements in Whips and in the Manufacture of the same.
I, WILLIAM HENRY NEAL, 25, George Street, Ballsall Heath, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, Whip Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention to be as follows:-
My invention has for its object improvements in whips and in the manufacture
of the same by which I am enabled to more firmly secure the lash to the stock and
also to dispense with the usual leather "keeper."
In carrying my invention into practice, I form at the end of the steel or other
metal lining or core which is usually enclosed in the stock a loop or eye
piece and to this loop or eye piece I attach the lash by the usual loop formed at
the end of the lash thus dispensing with the leather "keeper" attached to the stock
which so frequently comes loose or breaks rendering the stock useless.
Instead of forming the loop or eye in one with the metal core or lining I may
form the loop or eye separately and screw or otherwise secure it to the end of the
metal lining or to the stock itself.

Improvements in Whips and in the Manufacture of the same.
I, WILLIAM HENRY NEAL, of 25, George Street, Ballsall Heath, Birmingham, in
the County of Warwick, Whip Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my said
invention and in what maner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in whips and in the manufacture
of the same by which I am enabled to more firmly secure the lash to the stock and
also to dispense with the usual leather "keeper."
In carrying my invention into practice I form at the end of the steel or other
metal lining or core which is usually enclosed in the whip stock a loop or eye
piece and to this loop or eye piece I attach the lash by the usual loop formed at
the end of the lash thus dispensing with the leather keeper attached to the stock
which so frequently comes loose or breaks rendering the stock useless.
Instead of forming the loop or eye in one with the metal core or lining I may
form the loop or eye separately and screw or otherwise secure it to the end of the
metal lining or to the whip stock itself.

In order that my invention may be more clearly understood and easily carried
into practical effect I have appended hereunto a double sized sheet of drawings
upon which I have illustrated examples of my 'invention.
Figure 1 shews a portion of a whip stock S with the lash H secured thereto
according to my invention.
Figure 2 is a view of a portion of the whip stock S without the lash.
Figure 3 shews the loop or eye piece a¹ without any covering.
Figure 4 shews a portion of the core or lining A.
Figure 5 shews the loop or eye piece made separately.
In carrying my invention into practice I form at the end of the steel or other
metal core or lining A which is usually enclosed in the whip stock S the loop or
eye piece and this loop or eye piece may be covered with leather or other materia!
as shewn at Figure 1 and 2 or it may be left uncovered as shewn at Figure 3.
The lash H is secured to this loop or eye piece by means of the usual loop has
shewn at Figure 1. By this means I am enabled to dispense with the usual
leather keeper which is attached to the stock in this class of whip and which so
frequently breaks rendering the stock useless.
In the modification as shewn at Figure 5 I form the loop or eye piece a separate
from the metal core or lining and screw or otherwise secure it to the tube Bor
socket sleeve B which is tapped at the opposite end. This tube may be secured or
otherwise fixed onto the end of the stock S or the tube or socket sleeve B may be
made of a suitable diameter so as to fit onto the end of the metal core or lining. In
some cases I may form the loop and the socket B in one piece and either screw
or otherwise secure it to the stock S or to the core A. Or the eye piece or loop al
may be formed from a piece of steel or other metal wire or the like and secured to
the end of the stock B during the process of manufacture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
-
CLAIMS.
First: The improvements in whips and in the manufacture of the same con-
sisting essentially of the metal lining or core A having a loop or eye piece a¹
formed at one end for attaching the lash to the stock in the manner substantially
as hereinbefore described and as shewn upon the accompanying sheet of drawings
at Figures 1 to 4.
Second Securing lashes to whip stocks by forming a loop or eye piece al
at the end of the stock by forming a socket at its end and screwing or securing it
upon the casing S of the core in the manner substantially as herein set forth and
as shewn upon the drawings.
:-
Third For the purpose of the first claim attaching to the end of a whip stock
a loop or eye piece, secured by a socket formed thereon or by means of a socket
sleeve B in the manner substantially as herein set forth and as shewn upon the
drawings.
