PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Ornamental or Useful Attachment for Umbrellas; also applicable
for other Articles.
1, MARY MARGARET LEIGH LENNON BEATTIE, of 136, George Street, Edinburgh,
in the County of Midlothian, N.B., Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an ornamental or useful attachment for umbrellas;
also applicable for other articles.
It consists of a name plate to be mounted upon the elastic strap or band of an
umbrella so that an umbrella can be readily identified; or returned if lost. It
may consist of a silver plate or a plate of other metal or material which is attached
in any convenient manner to the band. The said plate may if it is of silver for
example, have the owner's name or address engraved upon it; or it may have a
monogram, initials or crest; or the plate may be used as an ornamentation only;
or as a means of identifying an umbrella.
The name plate may be attached to the band of existing umbrellas, or a band
with the plate previously attached may be applied to umbrellas, the said band
being complete with the ordinary button at one end and ring at the other, both
of which may be of silver in order to match the name plate if such is made of
silver.
To render the band with name plate secure to the umbrella, the one end
thereof is securely sewn to the material of the umbrella, in the ordinary way,
or it may be secured to one of the spokes or ribs of the umbrella.
The invention may be applied to the elastic or other band of purses or pocket
books; and other articles.

1, MARY MARGARET LEIGH LENNOX BEATTIE, of 136, George Street, Edinburgh,
in the County of Midlothian, N.B., Gentlewoman, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particu-

1
This invention relates to an ornamental or useful attachment for umbrellas,
alsn applicable for other articles.

page_text: It consists as shown in the two figures of the accompanying drawings, of a name
plate A mounted upon the elastic strap or band B of an umbrella by means of
keepers such as C; or by other means of attachment; so that an umbrella can be
readily identified; or returned if lost; and also for ornamental purposes.
The name plate may be attached to the band of existing umbrellas; or the band
complete with the name plate and with a button at one end and ring at the other
as shown in the drawings may be substituted for the existing band, the band being
attached to the umbrella at the button end.
By providing a silver or other ornamental button on the one end of the band
and a corresponding silvering at the other end an attractive article is produced
to be used in substitution for the ordinary band.
Having now particularly 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 name plate attachment for umbrellas, substantially as hereinbefore described
and shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 28th day of September 1900.
