Umbrella manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for the
IMPROVEMENT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CANE STICKS FOR UMBRELLAS AND
PARASOLS to be as follows :-
I insert a round piece of wood into the centre of the Cane to strengthen it and
to prevent it from splitting. The Canes to which my invention apply are partially
hollow and when they have been sawn for the springs of the Umbrella are very
much weakened and liable to split.
I drill or burn a hole down the centre of the Cane and then pour glue or cement
down, or I put glue or cement on the piece of wood which I intend to insert and
then push it down the cavity in the centre of the Cane and allow it to set.

Umbrella Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVEMENT IN OR APPLICABLE TO THE MANUFACTURE OF CANE STICKS FOR
UMBRELLAS AND PARASOLS and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of this invention is so to improve the cane sticks used in the
manufacture of umbrellas and parasols that a stick of a given size shall be stronger
and less liable to split than formerly.
The cano sticks to which this invention applies are partially hollow and are
known in the trade as Bamboos, Tonquins &c.
In carrying out my invention I drill a hole through the centre of the cane stick
used in the manufacture of umbrellas and parasols from one end to the other. I
then take a piece of round wood or cane, and having applied glue or cement to the
same (or the glue or cement may be poured down the hole in the cane stick) I force
such piece of wood or cane down the hole previously drilled in the cane stick.
The glue or cement is then allowed to set, when it will be found that the heroin
before mentioned cane stick will be much stronger, and, less liable to split in
performing the operation technically known as "springing," in the manufacture
of Umbrellas and parasols; and will also be less liable to split in general use.
will be obvious that by this invention I may employ sticks of less diameter than
formally in the manufacture of umbrellas and parasols which will enable me to
manufacture umbrellas and parasols to fold into a less compass and so as to be of
a neater appearance.
It
I am aware that the cane sticks employed in the manufacture of umbrellas and
parasols have previously been plugged at each end to afford a better means of
securing the handes and ferrules thereto, but to the best of my knowledge have
never before been plugged from end to end for the purposes hereinbefore described.
Having thus described and ascertained the nature of my said invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The insertion of a piece of wood or cane from end to end of the cane sticks
known in the trade as Bamboos Tonquins &c and used in the manufacture
of umbrellas and parasols substantially as and for the purposes herein before
described.
