DEFINITION

Classification: 135/44

(under subclass 37) Devices annular in form and surrounding the rib-tips when the umbrella is closed. Usually rigid and permanently attached, they are sometimes mounted upon the runners, are frequently spring-actuated, and slide or turn to place. They are distinguished from umbrella-ties in that the latter are of general belt form, loosely attached or separate, and embrace the cover as well as the ribs.
