Improvements in or relating to Sticks for Umbrellas and the like.
We, JONATHAN HOWELL, Walking Stick Manufacturer, and ROBERT FROST
LUCKLY, Traveller, both of 180, Old Street, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to sticks for umbrellas, parasols, sunshades and the like,
the two special objects in view being strength and neatness.
In carrying out the invention we employ any suitable stick, the end of which is
turned down to a suitable size and is preferably tapered; upon this end we place
a tube preferably of metal which may be tapered to fit. Upon the metal tube we
place the notch for carrying the ribs which may be secured in any desired manner.
a convenient arrangement being to drill a hole through the notch, the tube and
the stick and place a rivet through so as to secure all three parts together. How-
ever where suitable the parts may be screwed or glued or otherwise secured together
either in addition to or independently of the previously mentioned rivet.
A loose ferrule end preferably of wood and provided with a ferrule and also
with a ring or washer at its inner end is suitably bored to fit upon the pro-
jecting end of the stick, the tube and the notch, any one or all of these-it
may be tapered or stepped to fit the various parts. The ferrule end may be
secured by screwing, rivetting, glueing or otherwise and it may have the open
cap secured to it or the open cap may be placed on first and the ferrule end
afterwards so as to fix it.
By the above described arrangement the umbrella stick is continuous through-
out, the tube being placed upon it and the ferrule end again outside that.

We, JONATHAN HOWELL, Walking Stick Manufacturer, and ROBERT FROST
LUCKLY, Traveller, of 180, Old Street, in the County of Middlesex, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention relates to sticks for umbrellas, parasols, sunshades and the like.
the two special objects in view being strength and neatness.
In carrying out the invention we employ any suitable stick, the end of which is
turned down to a suitable size and is tapered; upon this end we place

place the notch for carrying the ribs which may be secured in any desired manner
a convenient arrangement being to drill a hole through the notch, the tube and
the stick and place a rivet through so as to secure all three parts together. How-
ever where suitable the parts may be screwed or glued or otherwise secured together
either in addition to or independently of the previously mentioned rivet.
A loose ferrule end preferably of wood and provided with a ferrule and also
with a ring or washer at its inner end is suitably bored to fit upon the pro-
jecting end of the stick, the tube and the notch, any one or all of these-it
may be tapered or stepped to fit the various parts. The ferrule end may be
secured by screwing, rivetting, glueing or otherwise and it may have the open
cap secured to it or the open cap may be placed on first and the ferrule end
afterwards so as to fix it.
By the above described arrangement the umbrella stick is continuous through-
out, the tube being placed upon it and the ferrule end again outside that.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a complete end of an umbrella stick, con-
structed in accordance with this invention;
Figure 2 is an elevation of the end of the wooden stick:
Figure is an elevation of the tubular strengthening piece:
Figure 4 is an elevation of the top notch:
Figure 5 is an elevation of the ferrule carrying end.
Like letters indicate like parts throughout the drawings.
The end of the wooden stick A is reduced as at A' being tapered slightly at A².
The metal tube B is passed on to the reduced end of the wooden stick, one
end B of the tube B being slightly enlarged and tapered to fit on to the tapered
portion A2 of the stick A. The top notch C fits closely on to the parallel portion
of the tube B and on the end of the stick which projects beyond the top notch is
placed the ferrule carrying end D. The latter comprises a hollow preferably
wooden tube slightly tapered externally and provided at one end with the meta!
ferrule D
The parts may be secured in place upon the reduced end of the wooden stick by
pins, screws or otherwise as found convenient.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:
―
1. In an umbrella stick the employment of a tube such as B substantially as and
for the purpose described or as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
2. The combination with an umbrella stick having a reduced end of a strength-
ening tube such as BB substantially as described.
3. The combination with an umbrella stick having a reduced end such as A¹
of a strengthening tube such as B carrying a top notch and fitting on the reduced
end of the stick and a ferrule end such as D substantially as described.
4. The complete umbrella stick end substantially as described and illustrated in
the accompanying drawings.
