PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Holder for Umbrellas and Walking Sticks, Brooms,
Billiard Cues, and the like.
.
I, FREDERICK JULIUS HÖHS, of 129 Oakfield Road, Peuge, in the County of
Surrey, Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an improved holder for umbrellas and walking sticks,
brooms, billiard cues and the like which may be attached to walls, counters and
other places where there is not sufficient room for an umbrella stand of ordinary
construction.
According to this invention I provide a suitable stud projecting from a boss
or plate which may be screwed or otherwise attached to a wall or panel. At
the end of this stud I pivot two arms curved towards each other at their free
ends. A spring or other suitable device is provided to hold these parts in such
a position that their free ends are very nearly if not quite in contact.
This spring
allows of the arms being separated to allow of the insertion of the handle of an
umbrella or walking stick between them, around which they close by the action
of the spring and so prevent the same from falling. The extreme ends of the
curved arms are turned slightly outwards so as to form a flaring mouth and
facilitate the introduction of the umbrella, walking stick or other article.
It will be understood that this device when used as an umbrella holder may be
mounted over a well or tray to receive the drippings from wet umbrellas.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Holder for Umbrellas and Walking Sticks, Brooms,
Billiard Oues, and the like.
I, FREDERICK JULIUS HÖнS, of 129 Oakfield Road, Penge, in the County of
Surrey, Clerk, 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 :-
This invention relates to an improved holder for umbrellas, walking sticks,
brooms, billiard cues and the like which may be attached to walls, counters and
other places where there is not sufficient room for an umbrella stand of ordinary
construction.
According to this invention I provide a suitable stud projecting from a boss or
plate which may be screwed or otherwise attached to a wall or panel. At the end
of this stud I pivot two arms curved towards each other at their free ends.
A spring or other suitable device is provided to hold these parts in such a position
that their free ends are very nearly if not quite in contact. This spring allows of
the arms being separated to allow of the insertion of the handle of an umbrella or
walking stick between them, around which they close by the action of the spring
and so prevent the same from falling. The extreme ends of the curved arms are
turned slightly outwards so as to form a flaring mouth and facilitate the intro-
duction of the umbrella, walking stick or other article.

page_text: It will be understood that this device when used as an umbrella holder may be
mounted over a wall or tray to receive the drippings from wet umbrellas.
And in order that my invention may be more fully understood and carried into
practice I will now proceed to describe the same with reference to the accom-
panying one sheet of drawings of which Fig. 1 is a part sectional front elevation,
Fig. 2 a side elevation and Fig. 3 an end elevation of a holder constructed
according to my invention.
Projecting from the base plate a by means of which the device may be secured
or otherwise attached to a wall or the like is a bifurcated stud b. Between the two
arms of this stud bare pivoted two arms e curved towards each other at their
free ends e' which ends are slightly turned outwards so as to allow a stick or
unbrella or the like to be more easily forced between them.
Between the two arms of the stud b is also secured a V or other suitable
spring d the free ends of which rest on projection in the inner ends of arms c so
normally holding the latter in a closed position as shown, the movement of said
arms towards and from one another being limited by a suitable stop.
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
claim is :-
A holder for umbrellas, walking sticks and the like, substantially as described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
