PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Appliances for Attachment to Walking Sticks and the like for
Leading" or Holding Dogs.
1, HAROLD MONTAGUE BRYANS, of 6 St. Andrews Road, Surbiton, Surrey,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is a specially contrived ferrule to be affixed to the
end of a walking stick, or the like, in combination with a cap fitting over it, carrying
at its closed end a few links of chain and a swivel hook for connection with the ring
on the dog's collar.
For the purpose of my invention, I make a ferrule of the ordinary shape having
the usual tip of metal for taking the wear and I serrate or screw thread the interior,
so that when the ferrule is placed on the end of the stick (whilst hot) the serrations
or screw thread will bite into the wood and the ferrule be held firm on cooling.
The ferrule has pins or projections standing out from the side which take into
bayonet joints in a cap or socket when the latter is slipped over the ferrule, the slots
of the bayonet joints being prevented-from-working-off-the-pins by the pressure of a
spring in the interior of the cap.
The cap is provided with a swivel link and a short chain, on the end of which,
is a swivel hook for taking into the ring of the dog's collar.
By this invention, the walking stick has only the usual apper rance when used
without the cap and swivel chain, but it may be readily converted. for "leading" a
dog by the attachment of the cap, which latter can be carried in the pocket.
Dated this 15th day of October 1888.

Appliances for Attachment- to Walking Sticks and the like for
Leading" or Holding Dogs.
"
I HAROLD MONTAGUE BRYANS, of 6 St. Andrews Road, Surbiton Surrey, Engineer,
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention 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 to arrange in or on a walking stick, cane, Umbrella,
Hunting Crop, Dog Whip, or like article, an appliance termed a dog lead which
may be a separate appliance but affixable to or be permanently connected with such
an article when required for leading a dog, said appliance having a swivel hook for
ready attachment to a dogs collar.
My invention will be understood by the annexed drawings in which at Figure 1 I
show a cap A with bayonet slot to fit over the ordinary tip or ferrule C, shown at
Figure 2, said tip having projecting pins D, to engage in the bayonet slot, when
pushed on to them, so that by a slight turn, a spring E on the interior of the cap
shown, at Figure 3, becomes compressed, the pins then locking themselves in the
niches F in a secure manner. The end of the cap has a few links of chain G, and at
the end thereof is a spring swivel hook, H, (Figure 3) showing the several parts in
their respective positions.
The stick indicated at Figures 2 and 3 is solid, but when a Bamboo or other cane
is provided with the appliance, I drill a hole through the cane and pass the
pin D through as indicated at Figure 4, and attach the chain G to said pin, the cane
forming a pocket into which the chain G, and swivel hook H, can be inserted by sliding

page_text: the cap A round to uncover an opening formed in the side of the stick near the
tip C, the cap A being then turned. to cover the opening. When the swivel hook H
and chain G projects from the side of the stick, it has the appearance shown in
dotted lines at Figure 5, otherwise this figure shows the opening in the stick,
uncovered and the swivel hook H; slightly projecting through said opening.
If desired the ordinary tip ferrule (may be screwed on to the end of the cane to secure
the chain G, and hook H, within the stick, the tip ferrule C being then removable as
with the first described cap..
I have only shown in the drawings a walking stick and a cane but the invention
is applicable to Umbrellas, Hunting Crops, Dog Whips and other like articles.
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
1. Arranging in, or on, the end of a walking stick, or like article, a dog lead
in the manner described, and substantially as shown by the annexed drawings.
2. The special construction of "lead" or appliance as described and shewn.
