COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Umbrella, Parasol, and Sunshade Stick.
I EBENEZER NEWMAN of Nos. 1 and 3 Leonard Street City Road in the
County of London Stick Mounter and Manufacturer 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 :-
An umbrella parasol and sunshade stick in all kinds of woods metals, vulcanite
ivory or bone. An improvement in neatness and smallness when folded up. At
bottom of handle the shape of the tops of the ribs are cut into the wood so as to
permit them to lay in and be flush with handle. Also centre of body of stick is
tapered so as to permit the joints of the ribs to lay in and thus save the umbrella
when folded from having a bulgy appearance. The stick is invisibly jointed at
handle with a solid body.
This invention is an improvement respecting neatness, smallness when cover is
folded, and strength to what has hitherto been made.
Fig. 1 represents the solid body which is invisibly jointed on to a handle as used
for umbrellas parasols or sunshades.
Fig. 2 represents the bottom end that is fixed on to end of stick.
A shoulder is cut in the top part of bottom end as shewn by the letter F. and a
brass collar is fitted thereon.
Fig. 3. is the open cap that fits on the brass collar on bottom end.
The bottom end has a hole drilled in the centre for the purpose of the end of
the stick F to be inserted therein.
A represents the handle and A' is where the body (lancewood or other woods)
is invisibly jointed or secretly jointed.
Where B. is placed there are 8 slots cut into the body 1 inch long so as to
receive the ends of the ribs so that when the cover is folded the tops of the ribs
are flush with the handle.
From C. to D. is a taper in centre of body which permits the joints of the ribs
to lay in as shown in the drawing so you get a taper from the handle to bottom of
the stick.
E. shows the notch and F¹ is the bottom of body which is tapered for insertion
into the bottom end Fig. 2.

page_text: G. shows the rib and its position from handle to notch which also shows the
improvement in the smallness and neatness of an umbrella when folded up, also
strength, the body being of solid wood.
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
1. The slots cut in the body of stick to take the top of the ribs thereby reducing
the size of umbrella.
2. The taper in centre of body so as to take the joints and thus save the
umbrella, parasol or sunshade from having a bulgy appearance and forming a taper
from handle to end of stick.
