UNITED STATESPATENT OFFICE.
KATE ALICE PERKINS, OF BROWNWOOD, TEXAS.
UMBRELLA-HOLDER.Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 16, 1908.
Application filed June 25, 1907. Serial No. 380,766.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, KATE ALICE PERKINS,
citizen of the United States, residing at
Brownwood, in the county of Brown and
5 State of Texas, have invented certain new
and useful Improvements in Umbrella-Hold-
ers, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to an im-
proved umbrella holder and more particu-
10 tarly to that type of holders which are de-
signed to be employed in connection with
bicycles and the like.
The object of the invention is to design an
umbrella holder which is simple and inex-
15 pensive in its construction and can be readily
applied to the bicycle or removed therefrom
as may be found desirable.
For a full understanding of the invention
and the merits thereof and also to acquire a
20 knowledge of the details of construction and
the means for effecting the result, reference
is to be had to the following description and
accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an um-
25 brella support embodying the invention;
Fig. 2 is a detail view of the clamping device
for engaging the umbrella handle; and, Fig. 3
is a similar view of the clamp for engaging
the bicycle frame.
30 Corresponding and like parts are referred
to in the following description and indicated
in all the views of the drawings by the same
reference characters.
Specifically describing the invention, the
35 -numeral 1 designates an upright rod having
the end portions thereof extended laterally
to form the upper and lower arms 2 and 3, re-
spectively, the said arms being approxi-
mately parallel and in the same plane. The
40 lower arm 3 carries a clamp 4 designed to en-
gage a portion of the bicycle frame. This
clamp 4 comprises a pair of hinged jaws, one
of the jaws being formed with an extension 5
formed with threaded openings 6 and bearing
45 a socket 7. The opposite jaw is provided
with ears 8 carrying the clamping screws 9designed to be received within the threaded
opening 6 for the purpose of locking the
jaws of the clamp in a closed position. The
socket 7 is formed in two sections connected 50
by the clamping members 10 and receiving a
ball 11 at the extremity of the arm 3 between
the same. This construction has the advan-
tage of permitting the rod 1to be held in an
upright position regardless of the inclination. 55
of the portion of the bicycle frame to which
the clamp 4 is applied. A sleeve 12 fits
loosely over the extremity of the upper arm
2 and carries a set screw 13 by means of
which it can be locked rigidly in position. o
An extension 14 corresponding to the exten-
sion 5 of the before mentioned clamp 4 is
formed in connection with the sleeve 12 and
carries a clamp 15 similar in construction to
the clamp previously described, and designed 65
to engage the handle of an umbrella or like
member.
Having thus described the invention, what
is claimed as new is:
The herein described umbrella holder for 70
bicycles- and the like comprising an upright
rod, lateral arms projecting from the ends of
the rod, the said arms being approximately
parallel and in the same plane, a sleeve ad-
justably receiving the extremity of the upper 75
arm, the said sleeve being formed with an
extension, hinged clamping members carried
by the extension for engaging the umbrella, a
ball formed at the extremity of the lower
arm, a socket receiving the ball, the said 80
socket being formed in sections and one of
the sections being provided with an exten-
sion, and a hinged jaw carried by the exten-
sion and cooperating therewith to form a
clamp for engaging the bicycle frame. 85
In testimony whereof I affix my signature
in presence of two witnesses.
