Abstract

An umbrella of the type having a canopy (10) that is fastened to a folding radial frame with hinged ribs (13) radiating from a center pole (11), and a sliding catch (14) which pivotally supports the braces (19) of said ribs (13) is disclosed. Secured between the sliding catch (14) and the ribs (13) is the reinforcing guy assembly (20). This assembly consists of elongated strings (21) having its inner ends connected to said sliding catch (14) and its outer ends connected to the outer ends of said ribs, and suspender means (22) having its lower ends connected to said elongated strings (21) and its upper ends connected to said ribs (13).

Description

Non flip umbrella

The present invention relates generally to the improvement of umbrella structure, relates in particular to non flip umbrella.

Usually the umbrella that uses as resisting bad climate comprises a canopy that is made of fabric, and this canopy is fixed on the skeleton of being made up of the hinged rib of a plurality of pivotings, and rib is that the center distributes radially with the center-pole or the handle of umbrella.The pole that the portable element pivoting of being determined by a sliding sleeve is supporting support rod.When umbrella was opened, canopy was the rounded protuberance shape, and it can be by described sliding sleeve sliding opening or closure up or down.

Though by the generally satisfied acceptance of end user, it still exists a significant disadvantages to above-mentioned traditional type umbrella.It has been seen in that canopy is opened or during expanded position being in, it supports only is power by means of pole, and an end of these poles is supported on the sliding sleeve, and their outer end abuts against on each rib that is attached thereto.Described pole and rib combine link-type support member of formation to support whole umbrella structure.Described link-type support member will bear the transverse pressure that is caused by weather usually, and this class pressure always acts on the outward flange of canopy.Under the strong wind condition (for example typhoon/heavy rain), turnover or fracture can take place at fitful wind or when continuously high wind is blown in the described umbrella in canopy and support rod, umbrella was lost efficacy and cause user's inconvenience.

Consider the shortcoming that existing umbrella in use exists, need carry out fixing reliably and/or its rib and pole being strengthened umbrella, thus the fracture tendency of elimination umbrella.The present invention expects to introduce a kind of guy rope assembly, and it can make the rib of umbrella obtain significantly to rigidly fix, therefore can be on correct position rigid support rib and turnover can not occur.

Another object of the present invention provides a kind of non flip umbrella, and wherein the inner of guyed structure is connected with described sliding sleeve, and the outer end is connected with described each rib.

A further object of the present invention provides a kind of non flip umbrella, and this umbrella is simple in structure, is easy to assembling and has reliability.

Purpose of the present invention, characteristic and advantage will be able to further understanding when hereinafter describing in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is the stereogram that is in the non flip umbrella of vertical or hanging position, there is shown the guy rope assembly;

Fig. 2 is the Zoom Side parallax stereogram of broken section, and numerous line feeders of the guy rope assembly of umbrella are shown;

Fig. 3 is the exploded view of guy rope assembly shown in Figure 2;

Fig. 4 is Fig. 1 another embodiment to guy rope assembly shown in Figure 3;

Fig. 5 is the profile of cutting open along 5-5 line among Fig. 4;

Fig. 6 is the side isometric view of non flip umbrella when being in the part closure state;

Fig. 7 (a) (b) (c) is a partial view, and the connected mode of guy rope assembly and umbrella rib is shown.

(use same label for same parts among the figure) with reference to the accompanying drawings and describe non flip umbrella in detail, and the label of making as a whole umbrella is 10.Umbrella 10 generally includes an elongated center-pole 11, and this bar is equipped with the top of round hub 12 forms.Circle hub 12 is around the upper end that is fixed on described center-pole 11, and numerous ribs 13 are hinged on the described round hub 12 and be the arrangement of center radiation shape with center-pole 11.Be fixed on the described center-pole 11 and the position roughly is lower than round hub 12 with the sliding sleeve movable type of label 14 sign, identical with traditional structure, sliding sleeve 14 is made up of tubular sleeve pipe 15, it has outer end, a top and the round hub 16 that the groove of whole processing is arranged, and has many radial slits spaced apart 17 on the described round hub 16.In the described round hub 16 that has a groove, placing an annulus 18.The inner termination radial type of numerous poles 19 is connected on the described annulus 18 and passes described slit 17, and the external end head difference hinge connection of these poles is on each rib 13.When umbrella was opened, pole 19 offers the stable support force of each rib made it be in vertical and stable status.

Only refer to reinforcement guy rope assembly in the improvement structure (existing umbrella does not have this class formation) that this proposed with label 20 signs.As the diagram the most clearly that Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 did, the guy rope assembly 20 that is suitable for being connected between rib 13 and the sliding sleeve 14 comprises many elongated line feeders 21 and many additional suspender members 22.Described suspender member 22 extends between line feeder 21 and rib 13.Line feeder 21 preferably uses the nylon rope material, yet the high material of other intensity also can adopt as metal wire.The length of described line feeder 21 is between 12～45 inches, be to come from sliding sleeve 15 radial distribution, their inner termination 23 is connected on the annulus 18 within the fluted round hub 16, external end head 24 is fixed in the eyelet 25 of each rib 13, and the external end head that external end head 24 is fixed in described pole 19 also is possible.The external end head of canopy C also is fixed in the eyelet 25.

Each suspender member 22 by a pair of encircle up and down 26 and the suitable traditional connector of 26a or other keep the location, on encircle 26 and be connected respectively on each rib 13, and ring 26a is fixed on the line feeder 21 down.Suspender member 22 is suitable for as an auxiliary supports, thereby it is excessive that line feeder 21 can not shaken, and can prevent also in the umbrella closure that meanwhile line feeder 21 from hanging (as the dotted line among Fig. 6 33) from umbrella.

Fig. 4 is another embodiment of non flip umbrella, and the guy rope assembly of different structure is shown.As shown in the figure, the guy rope assembly among this embodiment identifies with label 27.Guy rope assembly 27 comprises an annulus 28, and this annulus 28 is on the sleeve pipe 15 of the described sliding sleeve 14 that is fixed on umbrella.Described annulus 28 has the hole 32 of many radial distribution, and elongated line feeder 29 is the radial external end head that stretches to rib 13 in hole from then on.The length of described line feeder 29 is not shorter than 12 inches and no longer than 45 inches, and the line feeder inner termination is maintained fixed by the employed traditional material of critical piece of the umbrella that has improved.
