Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schirm mit einem von der Richtung der Stockachse abweichend angeordneten Handgriff.The invention relates to a screen with a handle arranged differently from the direction of the pole axis.

Übliche Regenschirme oder Sonnenschirme weisen normalerweise einen von der Richtung der Stockachse abweichend angeordneten Handgriff auf, der beispielsweise halbkreisförmig abgebogen ist. Es sind auch Regenschirme bekannt, deren Handgriff mit der Richtung der Stockachse fluchtet und wobei das obere Ende des Handgriffs beispielsweise kugelkopfförmig ausgebildet ist.Conventional umbrellas or parasols normally have a handle which is arranged differently from the direction of the pole axis and which is bent, for example, in a semicircle. Umbrellas are also known, the handle of which is aligned with the direction of the pole axis and the upper end of the handle is, for example, spherical.

Schirme mit einem abgebogenen oder abgewinkelten Handgriff weisen den Vorteil auf, daß sie besser in der Hand liegen und bequemer festzuhalten sind. Derartige Schirme bedingen aber die Schwierigkeit, daß sie bei der Lagerung und beim Transport verhältnismäßig sperrig sind, was insbesondere beim Versand von einzelnen Schirmen oder beim Versand von sehr großen Stückzahlen von Bedeutung sein kann, vor allem im Hinblick auf die Versandkosten von Regenschirmen, die in Massenproduktion hergestellt werden und deshalb wegen ihres geringen Preises möglichst nicht durch Nebenkosten dieser Art verteuert werden sollen.Umbrellas with a bent or angled handle have the advantage that they fit better in the hand and are easier to hold. Such umbrellas cause the difficulty that they are relatively bulky in storage and transportation, which can be of particular importance when shipping individual umbrellas or when shipping very large quantities, especially with regard to the shipping costs of umbrellas that are in Mass production are to be made and therefore should not be made more expensive by additional costs of this kind because of their low price.

Es ist Zielsetzung der Erfindung, übliche Schirme derart zu verbessern, daß sie einerseits eine möglichst praktische Handhabung und andererseits ein möglichst geringes Versandvolumen ermöglichen. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den Gegenstand des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The aim of the invention is to improve conventional umbrellas in such a way that, on the one hand, they enable the most practical handling possible and, on the other hand, the lowest possible shipping volume. This object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Ein besonderer Vorteil einer derartigen Konstruktion ist darin zu sehen, daß z.B. ein Regenschirm gemäß der Erfindung bequemer gehalten werden kann, wenn sich der Handgriff in der verschwenkten Lage befindet. Es können dadurch in gewissem Umfang unterschiedliche Körpergrößen der Benutzer ausgeglichen werden. Dies gilt nicht nur bei längeren Regenschirmen, die wie ein Spazierstock benutzt werden können, sondern auch bei Benutzung im aufgespannten Zustand, wobei z.B. auch ein Kind den oberen Endteil des Schirmstocks, der etwa den gleichen Durchmesser wie der Handgriff aufweisen kann, bequemer und sicherer festhalten kann. Dies gilt auch für die Handhabung bei verhältnismäßig kurzen Stocklängen, wenn also der Regenschirm nicht so lang ist, daß er wie ein Spazierstock benutzt werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß viele Benutzer von Gebrauchsgegenständen ein Vergnügen daran finden, unterschiedliche Einstellungen vorzunehmen und ihre Freunde damit verblüffen können, daß der Handgriff aus unerfindlichen Gründen nicht mehr mit der Stockachse fluchtet. Kostenmäßig ist das geringe Versandvolumen besonders wichtig, weil der Anteil der Versandkosten bei in Massenproduktion hergestellten verhältnismäßig sperrigen Gütern ein wesentlicher Faktor bei der Kalkulation des Verkaufspreises ist.A particular advantage of such a construction can be seen in the fact that, for example, an umbrella according to the invention can be held more comfortably when the handle is in the pivoted position. To a certain extent, different body sizes of the users can be compensated for. This applies not only to longer umbrellas that can be used like a walking stick, but also when used in a stretched state, with a child holding the upper end part of the umbrella stick, which can have the same diameter as the handle, more comfortably and safely can. This also applies to handling with relatively short stick lengths, so if the umbrella is not so long that it can be used like a walking stick. Another advantage is that many users of everyday objects can take pleasure in making different settings and can amaze their friends with the fact that the handle no longer aligns with the stick axis for some unknown reason. In terms of costs, the low shipping volume is particularly important because the proportion of shipping costs for relatively bulky goods that are mass-produced is an essential factor in calculating the sales price.

Anhand der Zeichnung soll die Erfindung beispielsweise näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 und 2 um 90° zueinander versetzte Seitenansichten des oberen Endes eines Regenschirms gemäß der Erfindung in der fluchtenden Lage des Handgriffs,
  • Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht des Regenschirms in Fig. 1 und 2 in einer abgewinkelten Lage des Handgriffs,
  • Fig. 4 eine auseinandergezogene Darstellung des Regenschirms in den Fig. 1 bis 3, die zur Verdeutlichung der Ausbildung der Elemente bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel dient,
  • Fig. 5 Ausführungsbeispiele von Aufsetzschalen,
  • Fig. 6a eine Schnittansicht eines detaillierten Ausführungsbeispiels entsprechend Fig. 1 bis 3,
  • Fig. 6b zugeordnete Schnittansichten; und
  • Fig. 7a die Fig. 6a zugeordnete obere Hälfte und Fig. 7b eine Schnittansicht entlang der Linie G-G in Fig. 7a.
The invention will be explained in more detail, for example, with reference to the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 and 2 side views offset by 90 ° to each other of the upper end of an umbrella according to the invention in the aligned position of the handle,
  • 3 is a side view of the umbrella in FIGS. 1 and 2 in an angled position of the handle,
  • 4 is an exploded view of the umbrella in FIGS. 1 to 3, which serves to illustrate the design of the elements in this embodiment,
  • 5 embodiments of mounting shells,
  • 6a is a sectional view of a detailed embodiment corresponding to FIGS. 1 to 3,
  • 6b associated sectional views; and
  • 7a the upper half assigned to FIG. 6a and FIG. 7b a sectional view along the line GG in FIG. 7a.

Das in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt das obere Ende eines Regen- oder Sonnenschirms, da das untere Ende des Schirms in an sich beliebiger Weise ausgebildet sein kann.The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 shows the upper end of an umbrella or parasol, since the lower end of the umbrella can be designed in any way.

Der in den Figuren dargestellte Schirm hat einen Handgriff 1 und einen Schirmstock 2, dessen oberer Endteil 3 derart ausgebildet ist, daß einerseits in das untere Ende des Endteils 3 der Schirmstock 2 eingesetzt werden kann, wie durch einen Pfeil in Fig. 4 angedeutet ist, während andererseits das obere Ende des Endteils 3 über ein Gelenk 4 mit dem unteren Ende des Handgriffs 1 verbunden ist. Das Gelenk 4 kann ein übliches Kugelgelenk oder ein sonstiges derartiges Gelenk sein, so daß der Handgriff aus der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Lage in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte Lage verschwenkt werden kann, in der der Handgriff mit der Richtung der Stockachse zumindest angenähert fluchtet. Anstelle in die in Fig. 3 dargestellte, um etwa 90° abgewinkelte, am meisten bevorzugte Lage, könnte der Handgriff 1 aus der in Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellten Lage auch in an sich beliebige Winkellagen z.B. zwischen einigen Grad und 90 oder mehr Grad, vorzugsweise zwischen etwa 50° und 90° verstellbar sein.The screen shown in the figures has a handle 1 and a screen stick 2, the upper end part 3 of which is designed such that, on the one hand, the screen stick 2 can be inserted into the lower end of the end part 3, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 4, while, on the other hand, the upper end of the end part 3 is connected to the lower end of the handle 1 via a joint 4. The joint 4 can be a conventional ball joint or another such joint that the handle can be pivoted from the position shown in Fig. 1 and 2 in the position shown in Fig. 3, in which the handle is at least approximately aligned with the direction of the stick axis. Instead of in the most preferred position shown in FIG. 3, angled by approximately 90 °, the handle 1 could also be in the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in any angular positions, for example between a few degrees and 90 or more degrees, preferably be adjustable between about 50 ° and 90 °.

In den in Fig. 1 und 2 bzw. in Fig. 3 dargestellten Lagen und eventuellen Zwischenlagen kann der Handgriff durch ein Fixierelement 5 in der eingestellten Lage arretiert werden.In the positions shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 or in FIG. 3 and any intermediate positions, the handle can be locked in the set position by a fixing element 5.

Der obere Endteil 3 des Schirmstocks ermöglicht eine ästhetische Gestaltung des oberen Schirmendes. Der wie der Handgriff 1 beispielsweise aus Kunststoff hergestellte Endteil 3 kann als Griffbereich benutzt werden, und es kann eine Aufsetzschale 10 in eine Vertiefung 12 (Fig. 4) in dem Endteil 3 durch Einschnappen befestigt werden. Es kann auch eine zweite Aufsetzschale 11 gegenüber der ersten Aufsetzschale 10 in eine entsprechende Vertiefung an dem Endteil 3 eingesetzt sein. Die Aufsetzschalen bestehen aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff, können aber auch aus undurchsichtigem Kunststoff hergestellt sein. Mit dem Schirm können gewünschtenfalls unterschiedliche Aufsetzschalen entsprechend den Wünschen des Käufers geliefert und durch diesen selbst durch Einschnappen eingesetzt werden. Vorzugsweise findet eine durchsichtige Aufsetzschale 10 Verwendung, unter die der Benutzer ein Blatt mit seinem Namen und seiner Adresse einsetzen kann. Da die Aufsetzschale so ausgebildet werden kann, daß sie nicht ohne weiteres oder allenfalls nur durch Zerstörung entfernt werden kann, bietet die Möglichkeit individueller Beschriftung offensichtliche Vorteile für den Eigentümer des Schirms. Andererseits kann die Fläche unter den Aufsetzschalen in an sich beliebiger Weise zu Werbezwecken oder zum Zwecke der einfachen Anbringung von Verzierungen, Vereinssymbolen etc. benutzt werden.The upper end part 3 of the umbrella pole enables an aesthetic design of the upper umbrella end. The end part 3, which is made of plastic, for example, like the handle 1, can be used as a grip area, and a placement shell 10 can be fastened into a recess 12 (FIG. 4) in the end part 3 by snapping it into place. A second mounting shell 11 can also be inserted in a corresponding recess on the end part 3 compared to the first mounting shell 10. The mounting shells are made of transparent plastic, but can also be made of opaque plastic. If required, different attachment bowls can be supplied with the umbrella according to the wishes of the buyer and used by the latter by snapping them into place. Preferably, a transparent tray 10 is used, under which the user can insert a sheet with his name and address. Since the attachment shell can be designed in such a way that it cannot be removed easily or at most only by destruction, the possibility of individual labeling offers obvious advantages for the owner of the screen. On the other hand, the area under the attachment bowls can be used in any way for advertising purposes or for the purpose of simply attaching decorations, club symbols, etc.

Der obere Endteil 3 des Schirmstocks 2 wird vorzugsweise derart ausgebildet, daß er etwa den gleichen Durchmesser wie der angrenzende Griffbereich des Handstücks 1 aufweist und deshalb zur Verlängerung des Griffbereichs dienen kann. Dadurch wird die Hantierbarkeit des Schirms weiter verbessert, weil eine angenehme Grifffläche nicht nur am Handgriff 1 selbst vorgesehen ist, sondern auch entlang der Länge des Endteils 3 des Schirmstocks. Durch das Aufsetzen einer Aufsetzschale 10,11 im Griffbereich des Endstücks 3 kann ferner ein angenehmes oder verbessertes Griffgefühl erzielt werden, beispielsweise wenn Aufsetzschalen benutzt werden, die auf ihrer Oberfläche linienförmige oder rasterförmige Vorsprünge aufweisen. Besonders kleinere Kinder dürften dann auch gerne den Griffbereich des Endstücks 3 anfassen, den sie ja besser erreichen können als den eigentlichen Handgriff 1. Ausführungsbeispiele für unterschiedliche Oberflächenausbildungen der Aufsetzschalen 10 oder 11 sind in den Fig. 5a, b und c dargestellt.The upper end part 3 of the umbrella pole 2 is preferably designed such that it has approximately the same diameter as the adjacent grip area of the handpiece 1 and can therefore serve to extend the grip area. This further improves the manageability of the screen because a pleasant gripping surface is provided not only on the handle 1 itself, but also along the length of the End part 3 of the umbrella pole. By placing a placement shell 10, 11 in the grip area of the end piece 3, a pleasant or improved grip feeling can also be achieved, for example if placement bowls are used which have linear or grid-shaped projections on their surface. Smaller children in particular should then also like to touch the grip area of the end piece 3, which they can reach better than the actual handle 1. Exemplary embodiments for different surface configurations of the attachment shells 10 or 11 are shown in FIGS. 5a, b and c.

In der Darstellung in Fig. 4 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Ausbildung des Gelenks 4 dargestellt. Das Gelenk kann irgend ein übliches Gelenk wie beispielsweise ein Kugelgelenk sein, welches derart ausgebildet ist, daß damit der Handgriff 1 an dem oberen Endteil 3 des Schirmstocks 2 befestigt werden kann und der Handgriff 1 in eine mit der Richtung der Stockachse zumindest angenähert fluchtende Lage verschwenkt werden kann. Zweckmäßigerweise ist an dem Handgriff 1 ein Fixierelement 5 in Form eines Fixierschiebers angeordnet, durch den der Handgriff in der eingestellten Schwenklage arretiert werden kann. Das in einer Vertiefung 13 an dem Handgriff 1 angeordnete Fixierelement 5 wird durch eine Feder 6 in die arretierende Lage vorgespannt.4 shows an exemplary embodiment of an embodiment of the joint 4. The joint can be any conventional joint, such as a ball joint, which is designed such that the handle 1 can be attached to the upper end part 3 of the umbrella pole 2 and the handle 1 swings into a position that is at least approximately aligned with the direction of the pole axis can be. A fixing element 5 in the form of a fixing slide is expediently arranged on the handle 1, by means of which the handle can be locked in the set pivot position. The fixing element 5 arranged in a recess 13 on the handle 1 is prestressed into the locking position by a spring 6.

Die Aufsetzschalen 10 bzw. 11 sind beispielsweise Halbschalen mit einer Kreisbogenlänge mit einem Zentriwinkel von etwa 180° oder weniger und ermöglichen ein Einschnappen in eine Halterungsnut 15, welche auf beiden Seiten entlang der Vertiefung 12 zum Einsetzen der betreffenden Aufsetzschale 10 verläuft, die zweckmäßigerweise entlang ihren beiden Seitenkanten jeweils einen Einschnappvorsprung 16 aufweist.The mounting shells 10 and 11 are, for example, half-shells with a circular arc length with a central angle of approximately 180 ° or less and enable snapping into a mounting groove 15, which runs on both sides along the depression 12 for inserting the relevant mounting shell 10, which expediently runs along the same has a snap-in projection 16 on each of the two side edges.

Der am oberen Ende des Handgriffs 1 vorzugsweise vorgesehene kugelkopfförmige Griffteil kann wie der Handgriff 1 einstückig und massiv ausgebildet sein, oder auch aus einem Hohlkörper mit einer abnehmbar ausgebildeten Kappe 14 bzw. 9 bestehen. Bei Verwendung einer abnehmbaren Kappe ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß auch durch unterschiedliche Farben der Kunststoffmaterialien der Elemente des Handgriffs und des Endteils mit der Aufsetzschale ein verbessertes Aussehen durch einen geeigneten Farbkontrast erzielt werden kann. Während die Anordnung einer Aufsetzschale 10 im Griffbereich des Endteils 3 vorgezogen wird, kann bei geeigneter Ausbildung des Handgriffs 1 auch eine Anordnung einer Aufsetzschale 10 im Griffbereich des Handgriffs 1 erfolgen.The spherical head-shaped handle part which is preferably provided at the upper end of the handle 1 can, like the handle 1, be formed in one piece and solidly, or also consist of a hollow body with a removable cap 14 or 9. When using a removable cap, there is the advantage that even with different colors of the plastic materials of the elements of the handle and the end part with the attachment shell, an improved appearance can be achieved by means of a suitable color contrast. While the arrangement of a placement shell 10 in the grip area of the end part 3 is preferred, with a suitable design of the handle 1, a placement shell 10 can also be arranged in the grip area of the handle 1.

In den Fig. 6 und 7 ist ein detailliertes Ausführungsbeispiel in einer Schwenklage entsprechend Fig. 3 dargestellt. Die Schnittansicht in Fig. 6a zeigt die untere Hälfte des Handgriffs 1 und des Endteils 3, während die Schnittansicht in Fig. 7a die entsprechende obere Hälfte des Handgriffs 1 und des Endteils 3 zeigt. Anstelle des in Fig. 3 dargestellten Schirmstocks 2 kann ein Schirmstock 2a mit größerem Durchmesser oder ein Schirmstock 2b mit kleinerem Durchmesser vorgesehen sein.6 and 7, a detailed embodiment is shown in a pivoted position corresponding to FIG. 3. The sectional view in FIG. 6a shows the lower half of the handle 1 and the end part 3, while the sectional view in FIG. 7a shows the corresponding upper half of the handle 1 and the end part 3. Instead of the umbrella pole 2 shown in FIG. 3, a umbrella pole 2a with a larger diameter or a shield pole 2b with a smaller diameter can be provided.

Wie aus Fig. 6a ersichtlich ist, weist das Gelenk 4 Gelenkelemente 8 auf und für die Fixiereinrichtung mit dem Fixierelement 5 ist ein Verriegelungsstift 7 vorgesehen. Am Ende des Handgriffs 1 ist eine halbkugelförmige Kappe 9 befestigt. Spezielle Schnittansichten sind aus den Fig. 6b und 7b ersichtlich. In Fig. 7b ist unter der Aufsetzschale 10 eine Einlage 16 angeordnet, die beschriftet oder bedruckt sein kann.As can be seen from FIG. 6a, the joint 4 has joint elements 8 and a locking pin 7 is provided for the fixing device with the fixing element 5. At the end of the handle 1, a hemispherical cap 9 is attached. Special sectional views can be seen from FIGS. 6b and 7b. In Fig. 7b, an insert 16 is arranged under the mounting shell 10, which can be labeled or printed.
