Umbrella-holder.

Application filed October 22,1904, Serial No, 229,661.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Milton E. Freund, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Umbrella-Holders and the Like, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which—

Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the device embodying my invention, showing the same as when in use attached to a pocket of a garment and supporting an umbrella. Fig. ‘2 is a perspective view of the device. Fig. 3 is a front elevational view of the spring-clip. Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same, and Fig. 5 is an inverted plan view of the same.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in umbrella-holders and the like, the object being to produce a device to be secured to or upon a pocket, belt, or other part of the wearing-apparel of a person and detachably carry or support an umbrella or the like, the device being held firmly in position when in use and being easily removable, if desired, when not in use.

With this object in view the invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of the several parts of the device, all as will be hereinafter described and afterward pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like characters refer to like parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates a clip, preferably formed of springmetal and having, in edge elevation, the approximate shape of an inverted U, one member thereof (lettered 2) being provided with openings or slots 4, and the other member thereof (lettered 3) being provided at its lowermost edge with an inturned portion or flange 5, bearing serrations or saw-teeth 6.

indicates a strap, preferably provided with a buckle 8 of any usual construction, which is designed to be threaded through the openings or slots 4 in the clip 1 and be adjustably held therein, as clearly shown in Fig. 2.

In Fig. 1 the device is illustrated as secured to or within the pocket of a garment, the mem> ber 3 of the clip 1 being inserted inside the pocket, and the member 2, to which strap 7 is attached, remaining on the outside, the serrations 6 holding the clip firmly in position and preventing any accidental withdrawal of the same from the pocket. By springing the 55 members 2 and 3 away from each other the clip and its carried parts may be easily detached from its support whenever desired.
