EGIFECALEQN formin part of Letters Patent No. 3461-966, dated July 6, 1886,

Application filed January 15, 1986. Serial No. 188.6 9. (.\'0 model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, HENRY Iwxr: and LOUIS IWAN, citizens of the United States, re siding at Streator, in the county of La Salle and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and Improved Liquid-Receptacle for Canes and the Like; and we hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

Our invention relates to an improvement in the construction of canes, umbrella and parasol handles, whip stocks, 850., whereby a receptacle charged with perfumery, disinfect ing or other liquid is contained in the same, the contents of which may be expelled, as desired, througha minute orifice provided, preferably, in the handle.

It is the object of our invention'to afford a liquid-receptacle in the above-named counee on the sheet; Fig. 2, a sectionalvicwillustrat 1 ing the mechanism of our improved device as applied to a cane; Fig. 3, a perspective view of a detail, and Fig. 4 a sectional plan view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

A is the stick portion of a cane, umbrella or parasol handle, whip-stock, 8m, made 1101- low toward its upper extremity to contain a yielding, preferably tubular, receptacle, ]3, formed,also, preferably of rubber. The receptacle B has no opening at the bottom, and is closed at the top by impinging against or being secured in any desired manner to a ferrule, 0, formed upon the upper extremity of the stick portion A; and a hollow screw-head, t, is provided upon the ferrule to receive a screwthreaded ferrule, 0, formed upon the handle A, and affords firm connection when the device is adjusted between the latter and the stick pose.

portion. A longitudinal recess is provided in one side of the hollow stick portion, adjacent to the receptacle B, to contain ametal presserbar, D, having a button, r, formed preferably a little below its central portion and projecting through an opening provided for that pur- A slender tube, '15, ending in a minute orifice, q, and extending down nearly to the bottom of the receptacle B, is secured to the handle A, and permits, upon actuating the devicein the manner hereinafter described, the desired discharge ofliquid.

The operation of our device is as follows: The handle A having been unscrewed and removed, carrying with it the tube E, the receptacle B may be filled with perfume or any other desired liquid through the opening thus a forded. ,The handle is then replaced, and with it the tube E, the opening in which, descending almost to the bottom of the receptacle, is of course always below the surface of the liquid until thelatter is almost exhausted. When it is desired to make use of the contents ofthe device, pressure upon the thumb-piece 7' will force the bar D against the receptacle B, thereby compressing the latter and forcing the liquid through the tube Eand expellingit through the orifice q. Besides its use as an article of luxuryinits employment as ahandy receptacle for perfumery, our device affords a very useful and desirable means for carrying about a disinfectant for use in case of emergency.

Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a hollow cane or the like, of a compressible receptacle therein to containliquid, and provided with an escapetube extending into the receptacle, and means, substantially as described, for compressing the said receptacle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. A cane or the like, hollow toward its upper extremity and containing a compressible water-proof receptacle, and provided with an escape-tube extending intothe receptacle, a presser -bar adjacent to the said receptacle having a button accessible from the exterior of the device, whereby pressure exerted upon the button will compress the receptacle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. A cane or the like, hollow toward its upper extremity and containing a rubber tube, B, closed at its lower end, an escape-tube, E, supported to extend into the tube B and having an orifice, g, at its upper extremity, a presser-bar, D, within the device adjacent to the tube B and provided with a button, r, accessible from the exterior of the device, whereby pressure exerted upon the button will compress the receptacle, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

4. A cane or the like having the part A, hollow toward its upper extremity and con taining a rubber tube, B, tocontain a liquid, closed at its lower end, an annular ferrule, O, snrnxounting the part A and provided with a hollow scrmv-head, t, a hollow handle, A,

screw-ed upon the head t, an escape-tube, E, supported to extend at its lower end into the tube B and provided at its opposite end with a minute orifice, q, near the surface of the arranged to operate substantially as and for c 5 the purpose set forth.
