Abstract
A kit for easy and rapid repair, without tools, of umbrella tips from which the fabric covering has become loosened, torn, or otherwise separated. The kit comprises a short section of plastic tube, a conical cap having a threaded bore, and a small envelope for carrying several sets of the tubes and caps. In use, the plastic tube is expanded over the tip end of the umbrella rib, then a section of the covering is placed over and around the tube, and finally the conical cap is manually screwed over the tube to hold the covering tightly in place on the end of the umbrella rib. Several tubes and caps are preferably carried in the envelope which is secured interiorly around an umbrella rib, thus making the kit immediately available for use.
