page_text: RICHARD HENRY BISHOP Summer Street, Stroud Gloucestershire late of No. 3
Hawthorn Villa, Slad Road, Stroud Gloucestershire, Cabinet Maker 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:-
A Hat & Umbrella Stand, made to occupy small space, the Hat pegs are screwed in,
so that they can be taken out or slackened, the Top & side points can be pressed
close to the square Frame when required, it is all made to take apart, for convenience
of packing.
I intend to adopt the drawings left with the provisional specification.
I herein give a detail of drawings sheets 1 & 2. Sheet 1, Part marked a, is a
zinc tray to fit in place marked b, to catch the water from Umbrellas.
The part b, is the ground plan of stand.
The part C, is a round rail glued into a piece of wood at each end, and the same
pieces is screwed at the other end to the uprights of stand forming a centre by which
means it can be raised as it is now shown on sheet 1, or lowered horizontally to hold
the umbrellas.
The part d, is a box for brush &c. a groove is made in the inside of top part of
uprights, and a piece of wood fitted to slide in the groove, and a screw put through
the slide into the back & bottom corners of box, by which means the box can be
turned up edgewise if required.
When the box is placed in its usable position a small wood button is put on the
bottom of box with a screw, so that it can be turned into a mortice and fixed.
The part E, is a looking glass.
The part F, is a hat peg screwed into the end of a movable arm, so that it may be
opened as is now shown on Pattern sheet 1, or put close to the square frame.
The part g, is two small bracketts hinged to the bottom rail of square frame, and
can be opened to support the box, d.
To fix the stand, a small brass plate is screwed on the back of top rail of frame,
with a hole in to fasten it to the wall.
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
1st. The design, with the following advantages.
1st. The rail marked C will lift up, to admit of more room.
2nd. The box marked d, can be put up edgewise to make room.
3rd. The movable wing on each side of top frame form a brackett to support the
Hat peg.
