do hereby declare the nature of said Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN UMBRELLAS
COVERINGS OR ATTACHMENTS FOR CARRIAGES OR OTHER VEHICLES FOR PROTECTING
THE OCCUPANTS THEREOF to be as follows:-
""
My Invention has reference to apparatus or appliances of the kind described
in the Specification of Letters Patent N° 5354 granted to me as of the
13th November 1883 and has for its object to provide improved means for
attaching the umbrella support to the Vehicle and for enabling the umbrella
or covering to be brought down closely to the said support for the better protection
of the occupants of the vehicle.
According to my present Invention I attach the support to the vehicle by the
intervention of springs and I prefer to affix the support in its adjusted angular
position by means of gripping discs there being at each side of the vehicle one
of the said discs on the springs and the other on the end of the support a screw
and nut and handle being arranged to screw up the two discs to hold the support
in position by simple jamming or friction or by a projection or projections on the
one disc engaging with recesses in the other disc-The umbrella or covering to be
carried by the support I make with a double ferrule for supporting the ribs upon
the stick The one ferrule carries half the ribs on one side and the other ferrule
carries half the ribs on the other side-By this means the ribs attached to one
ferrule can be opened out from those carried by the other ferrule and the Umbrella
stick can be passed through the holder therefor attached to the support and the
two ferrules be brought together and put upon the stick at the part below the
said holder so that the Umbrella can be brought down close or nearly close to
the support instead of only being able to be brought down as far as the ferrule as
is the case with Umbrellas having all the ribs attached to one ferrule in the
ordinary way.

page_text: I, CHARLES HENRY BUTLIN of Camborne in the County of Cornwall England,
Surgeon do hereby declare the nature of said invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
UMBRELLAS COVERINGS OR ATTACHMENTS FOR CARRIAGES OR OTHER VEHICLES
FOR PROTECTING THE OCCUPANTS THEREOF and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This Invention has reference to apparatus or appliances of the kind described
in the Specification of Letters Patent N° 5354 granted to me as of the
13th November 1883 and has for its object to provide improved means for
attaching the umbrella support to the vehicle and for enabling the Umbrella or
covering to be brought down closely to the said support for the better protection
of the occupants of the Vehicle.
I will describe my Invention with reference to the accompanying drawing
whereon Figure 1 is a perspective view of a support with an umbrella attached
and Figure 2 is a view of the frame of the Umbrella separately in position to be
passed over the support as hereinafter described-I attach the support A to the
vehicle by the intervention of springs B which give a steadier support than is the
case when the support is connected directly to the vehicle without springs.
I prefer to affix the support in its adjusted angular position by means of gripping
discs c c at each end of the support A, a disco being affixed to each end of the
support A and another disc c affixed to each of the springs B. A screw d attached
to the disc c², passes through a hole in the disc c and is provided with a nut and
handle e to screw up the two discs to hold the support in position the discs being
forced together so as to hold by simple jamming or friction, with the intervention
of a yielding material such as felt or the like. The discs may have a plain surface
or they may be roughened or stamped with radiating or other corrugations, or
have a projection or projections on the one disc engaging with notches or recesses
in the other disc. The frame of the umbrella or covering to be carried by the
support, I make with a double ferrule or a ferrule in parts (as illustrated clearly
in Figure 2) for supporting the ribs upon the stick. The one ferrule f carries half
the ribs on one side and the other ferrule g carries half the ribs h' on the other
side. By this means the ribs h attached to one ferrule ƒ can be opened out from
those h carried by the other ferrule g and the umbrella stick i can be passed
through the holder a therefor attached to the support A and the two ferrules or
parts of ferrules be placed one inside the other or brought together and put upon
the stick at the part below the said support A so that the umbrella can be
brought down close or nearly close to the support A. instead of only being able
to be brought down as far as the ferrule as in the case with umbrellas having all
the ribs attached to one ferrule in the ordinary way.
ر
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 :-
First. An umbrella covering or protecting attachment having the ribs carried
by separable ferrules or parts so that they can be opened out and passed on each
side of a support (to allow of the umbrella stick being put in the holder on the

page_text: support) and then be brought together again to be held upon the stick below the
holder on the support substantially as hereinbefore described.
Second. Providing supports for umbrellas or coverings for vehicles with springs
for attachment to the vehicles substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
