Description

The invention relates to a support worn on the back screen, which is particularly suitable for use in cycling.

There are numerous screen variations on the market. A disadvantage of the usual rain or parasol solutions, however, is that the screen must be kept so that the user of the screen does not have both hands free. This is particularly inconvenient when both hands are needed, for example when shopping, carrying a child or while cycling. In addition, it is also uncomfortable to wear a wet umbrella after a thunderstorm in his hand.

There are already some screen wearing aids are known in which the hands are no longer needed to hold a screen. For some already registered screen carriers, the screen holder is at the front of the upper body ( DE 39 29 974 . US 2006/0283489 A1 . US 6,866,173 B2 ), so that the user is restricted in its free mobility. In addition, umbrellas worn in the front of the torso are in the way or difficult to balance. The weight can not be worn well. This disability often makes it difficult for the user to engage in other activities, such as cycling or other sports activities.

Another disadvantage is that the umbrellas used are often not resistant enough. Often it comes through the "normal" umbrella shape that the screen is already turned up in light winds, so that the umbrellas can no longer fulfill their purpose, for example, as protection against rain. There is also a screen protector ( US 2,434,526 ), which is fixed both at the front and at the rear of the body and thus has a high resistance to strong wind, but this invention also represents a restriction in the freedom of movement.

In a variant of a screen carrying aid ( US 225 409 A ), the carrying aid can be worn on the upper body of the user, but this is primarily intended in combination with a parasol and therefore does not have a drain pipe through which the rainwater can be selectively derived.

For other umbrella carriers ( DE 94 06 410 U1 . US Pat. No. 1,460,821 A ) straps are attached to a stick. Although these stretcher aids are clearly intended for umbrellas, but there is also no possibility of targeted discharge of rainwater here.

The Schirmtragehilfe from the patent US 2004/0211451 A1 has the possibility of draining the rainwater, but this is only provided with the screen closed. In addition, a user must empty the water reservoir itself, so that a discharge of water must take place manually.

Umbrella carrying aids in which the umbrella holding devices on the back ( US 903,682 ), are unfavorable for the reason that the umbrellas here can not be easily opened and closed without the Schirmtraghilfe must be removed.

The invention is based on the problem of avoiding the large number of restrictions imposed by the upper part of the screen holder, to be able to steer the control of the screen at any time and to make the screen so that it is secured against tipping over in gusts. This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1. Further advantages of this invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

The invention includes a screen-carrying aid which can be worn on the upper body of a user, comprising one or more shoulder straps ( 1 ) and with the screen carrying aid on the back side detachably connected or permanently integrated screen ( 2 ), characterized in that the screen carrying aid further comprises a screen holding device ( 4 ) into which the umbrella ( 2 ) can be introduced.

This results in the user the advantages that he always has both hands free for other activities, he can not be hindered by the umbrella rod. The user also no longer needs a rain jacket, under which one can easily come to a sweat. In addition, this has the advantage for a wearer of glasses that protect his glasses by the protection of the screen is not so easy and he always has a clear view.

Preferably, the umbrella ( 2 ) in the folded state in the umbrella holding device ( 4 ). This can be completely retracted or only partially, for example until the slip-on ring or slider ( 10 ).

It is also preferred that the screen carrying aid on the back side of a screen holding device ( 4 ) with hollow receiving rod ( 5 ) into which the screen ( 2 ) with the central rod ( 6 ) of the screen and which the central rod ( 6 ) fixed reversibly movable. As a result, the umbrella can be easily stowed again after stabilization of the weather at any time. The Central rod is either fixed to the umbrella holder ( 4 ) connected / integrated or separably connected, so that the shield completely from the umbrella holding device ( 4 ) can be taken out.

The invention is particularly suitable in high winds or for cycling, because the screen can not easily break through the tighter anchorage in the Schirmhaltevorrichtung. The umbrella holding device ( 4 ) can also consist of two or more separate rings between which the central rod ( 6 ) of the screen can be performed.

In a preferred embodiment, the umbrella support further comprises a girdle ( 3 ), so that the carrying weight is better distributed by the additional stabilization at the hip. The fixed positioning of the carrying aid on the upper body is also important for the reason that the screen can not break out laterally.

In a preferred development is on the back of the screen carrier also a removable carrying case ( 7 ) for storing other items or a carrycot ( 8th ).

Preferably, the sizes of the hip belt ( 3 ) or the shoulder straps ( 1 ) adjust flexibly and / or the inside of the belt are upholstered. This allows the use of a single umbrella carrying aid by, for example, the members of a whole family. In addition, the padded belt inner sides offer great comfort.

Preferably, the umbrella ( 2 ) from the umbrella holding device ( 4 ) are extended upward and is reversible foldable.

Furthermore, preferably the screen ( 2 ) designed so that it is suitable for cycling. The screen has in this embodiment, a greater breaking strength and a much higher material thickness. He is also lighter. Suitable materials are steel, titanium, or break-resistant alloys.

Preferably, the umbrella ( 2 ) via a central rod ( 6 ) and three or more side bars ( 9 ), which with the central rod ( 6 ) are movably connected. Even more preferred, depending on the screen shape, 4, 6, 8 or 10 side poles ( 9 ) built-in.

In a preferred embodiment, the side bars ( 9 ) on a slide ( 10 ) and / or on a crown ( 11 ) is movably attached to the end of the central rod and the slider ( 10 ) can be moved via the central rod ( 6 ). Plastic crowns or metal crowns are preferably used here. In the variant with crown, the side bars advantageously each have a second side arm. This hinged second arm allows the shield surface to be stretched over other mounting ribs.

Preferably, the central rod ( 6 ) completely into the umbrella holder ( 4 ) and / or has telescoping telescoping elements ( 12 ), which can be pushed apart during extension and pushed into each other during retraction. Due to the telescopic elements, the screen height can be increased without the umbrella holding device ( 4 ) must have the full extension length.

In a preferred embodiment, the umbrella holding devices ( 4 ) an angle of 0 ° to 45 ° with the back side of the screen support, so that the screen ( 2 ) can be tilted forward when wearing in the extended state.

It is possible to install a wedge-shaped piece of hard plastic on the back, with this angle is achieved. Preferably, an angle of 5 ° to 30 ° or even more preferably an angle of 10 ° to 20 ° can be selected.

Preferably, the screen comprises ( 2 ) a clamping material ( 13 ), which with the side bars ( 9 ) and the central rod ( 6 ) is firmly connected and provides the screen surface in the clamped state. The material used is preferably plastic. However, preference is given above all to polyester, since this remains unchanged both in the wet and in the dry state.

Although the hands are free with the present invention, another problem of the invention is the particular problem of using umbrellas according to the invention in cycling. In particular, the wind can completely fold the umbrella.

Advantageous in this case is a particular development of the invention.

In a development of the invention, therefore, the shielding surface preferably has a kite shape. Square, triangular or hexagonal screen shapes are also preferred, depending on the number of side poles and the stability requirements. These are preferably connected to the crown. Through these forms, the rainwater can flow off the sides better. By appropriate forms and the lateral or front drip off screen when riding a bicycle can be avoided.

In a preferred embodiment, the clamping material ( 12 ) in the unfolded state with respect to the front-oriented aerodynamic shape.

Particularly preferred is the screen ( 2 ) curved in the clamped state, flat or concave upward. Preference is given to upper fixing points of the clamping material ( 12 ) at the endpoints of the side poles ( 9 ), which are 0 to 20 cm above the crown fixations of the clamping material ( 12 ) with the central rod ( 6 ) lie. Thus, the screen is curved upwards.

It was found that upwardly curved umbrellas absorb the airstream surprisingly well. In headwind, the screen is pressed down and the screen has a lower tendency to lift or fold (he is already folded).

A slight curvature is sufficient here, e.g. from 10 to 30 °. Thus, the umbrella can be used while cycling.

Alternatively, it may also be a normal screen form with a convex design, but these tend to pull upwards in the wind and lock dangerous when folding.

Preferably, the clamping material ( 12 ) Pimples ( 14 ) on. These nubs are preferably "dimples" with a diameter and a depth of 0.2-0.6 cm. The advantage of these nubs is that they cause laminar flows and thus no turbulence etc. occur. This is especially at high wind of advantage.

Preferably, the tension material is of such material that water can easily bead off, e.g. with the help of water-repellent coatings or the lotus effect.

Another problem of the invention is the laterally ausperlende on the screen water.

In a particular embodiment of the invention, the central rod ( 6 ) hollow and has both through the top of the crown and down on the end ring on a through hole.

In the bicycle version with a concave shield, the water collects at the crown opening and flows out through the central tube. As a result, even in strong headwinds, the user will not get wet from laterally draining spray water.

In a preferred embodiment, at the lower end of the central rod ( 6 ) at the end ring a drain pipe ( 21 ), which is designed such that collected rainwater which flows through the upper end of the central strands ( 6 ) and the crown ( 11 ), through the hollow body of the rod and over the drainpipe ( 17 ) can be forwarded downwards. As a result, the person (driver) does not get wet and the drainage water can be routed past the bicycle at the back. The drainpipe can also divert the water at least partially horizontally to the rear or side.

Another problem of the known Schirmtraghilfen represents the screen itself. Frequently here special umbrellas are needed or the umbrellas are so bulky that they can not be handled automatically. Especially when cycling or other occupations, it is essential to have your hands free. It is also cumbersome to open or close the screen with a back screen, without removing the carrying aid.

In a preferred embodiment, the movable slide ( 10 ) on the central rod ( 6 ) via a cable ( 15 ) with a handle attached to the screen carrying aid ( 16 ) or similar tangible or switchable tail connected.

Preferably, the cable is guided in such a way by the screen support that during the train of the handle of the slide ( 10 ) can be moved downwards along the central bar, so that the umbrella side bars can be retracted and the umbrella can be folded.

Preferably, with further pulling the slide ( 10 ) are no longer pulled down because the screen is folded.

Then the central rod ( 6 ) even in the hollow receiving rod ( 5 ) the umbrella holding device ( 4 ) moved in.

Preferably, the cable consists of a metal wire with a plastic sheath. In addition, the leadership of the cable is preferably held by fabric tubes or a plastic tube.

Preferably, the handle ( 16 ) after pulling and folding the screen on a hoe ( 17 ) with a safety buckle ( 18 ) are fixed.

Preferably, the movable slide ( 10 ) on the central rod ( 6 ) via a cable ( 15 ) with one on one of the shoulder straps ( 1 ) mounted handle ( 16 ), wherein the cable ( 15 ) Is guided by the screen support such that the release of the handle ( 16 ) the slider ( 10 ) can be moved along the central axis, so that the screen ( 2 ) from the umbrella holding devices ( 4 ) can be carried upwards and / or clamped.

Preferably, the handle ( 16 ) after loosening on a second hoe ( 19 ) with a safety buckle ( 20 ) are fixed. Additionally or alternatively, the cable can be fixed via another locking mechanism, for example, be solved via a button on the screen support. A safety locking mechanism is useful so that the handle does not solve independently.

The cable can be guided along a pulley at the lower end of the central rod.

Preferably, at least in the hollow receiving rod ( 5 ) a feather ( 23 ), so that the screen itself by appropriate spring mechanisms from the umbrella holding device ( 4 ) is released and thereby clamped as soon as the lock (eg via the cable) is released. Further tensioning mechanisms or springs provide for the unfolding of the side arms.

An additional disadvantage of some known screen-carrying aids is the fact that in these inventions it was not possible to place the fixed screen in a different position, as e.g. is required when the direction from which the rain, snow or sun comes changes.

Preferably, the central rod therefore still has a joint unit ( 22 ), so that the screen head with the side bars ( 9 ) can be tilted sideways and the screen alignment can be adjusted. This allows the screen to be placed in a different position, as required, for example, when the direction from which the rain, snow or sun comes changes. With further cables or the like, the joint alignment can be adjusted.
