Improvements in Parasols.
I, LOUISA ROGERS of Bentley Lodge College Road, Upper Norwood in the County of
Surrey 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:-
According to my invention I make parasols to resemble in appearance flowers or
leaves or a combination of flowers and leaves with the stick or handle made so as to
represent the stem or branch of the flower or leaf or combination theroof.
The flowers may be made up or composed of any suitable material such as silk, muslin
or lace or a combination thereof, or the, parasol itself may be made of any suitable
material such as silk, muslin, and lace, or a combination thereof resembling the flowers

-
At Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings I have shewn the whole of the top of
a parasol made according to my invention to represent a. rose in full bloom, and at
Figure 2 I have shewn only the top portion of such parasol to represent a rose the
rest of the cover part being shewn as composed of lace with the view of illustrating
how a parasol arranged according to my invention may be composed of a combination
of the representation of a flower or flowers and other material or materials.
I have only illustrated one flower and for this purpose I have selected that of a rose
to shew how my invention may be carried into effect but it is evident that any other
flower may be represented and be made in the form of a parasol without departing
from my invention.
By my invention I am able to produce parasols which when open may be made to
represent for example a rose, a lily, a palm, and so on throughout the botanical or
floral list according to the taste of the manufacturer or owner.
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:
In parasols, making the top of same to resemble a flower or leaves or only a portion
of said top to resemble a flower in combination with lace or other material or of
flowers and leaves combined all substantially as set forth.
