Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to improvement in umbrella construction and, more specifically it relates to a non flip umbrella.
- umbrella used as a protection against the weather consists of a fabric canopy that is fastened to a skeletal frame with pivotally hinged ribs radiating from a center pole or handle.
- a movable member defined by a sliding catch pivotally supports the braces of the ribs.
- the umbrella has a circular convex shape when open, and can be opened by sliding up or folded by sliding down said sliding catch.
- the present invention contemplates to introduce a guy assembly which could appreciably secure rigidly the ribs of the umbrella and thereby making it capable of positively sustaining the ribs in correct position without flipping over.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a non flip umbrella wherein the guy assembly incorporated thereof has an inner end connected to said sliding catch and the outer end connected to said respective ribs.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a non flip umbrella which is so simple in structure, permits facile assembly and reliable.
- Fig. l is a perspective view of the non flip umbrella in erect or suspended position and showing the guy assembly thereof;
- Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevational view, partly sectioned, showing one of a series of reinforcing string of the guy assembly of the umbrella;
- Fig. 3 is an exploded view of the guy assembly as shown in Fig. 2;
- Fig. 4 is another embodiment of the guy assembly as shown in Figs. 1 to 3;
- Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 5-5 of Fig. 4;
- Fig. 6 is a side elevational view of the non flip umbrella in partially folded position
- Fig. 7(a) (b) (c) is a fragmentary view showing the mode of connecting the guy assembly with the ribs of the umbrella.
- This umbrella 10 conventionally comprises an elongated center pole 11 provided with an apex in the form of a hub 12 encompassingly fixed at the upper end of said center pole 11 and a series of ribs 13 hingely connected to said hub 12 and spacedly radiating from said center pole 11.
- the sliding catch 14 Movably secured on said center pole 11 and proxi ately below the hub 12 is the sliding catch generally designated by the reference numeral 14, as in conventional structure, the sliding catch 14, defines a cylindrical sleeve 15 having at the upper terminal end thereof an integral channeled hub 16, said hub 16 being provided with a series of radially spaced slits 17. Disposed within said channeled hub 16 is a ring 18. Hingedly connected on said ring 18 and passing through said slits 17 is the inner end of a series of braces 19, their outer ends being hingedly connected to the respective ribs 13. The steadying force of this braces 19 supports the respective ribs 13 in erect and steady position when the umbrella is opened.
- this guy assembly 20 which is adapted to be connected between ribs 13 and the sliding catch 14 essentially consists of a series of elongated reinforcing strings 21, and a series of complemental suspender means 22. Said suspender means 22 being extended between the reinforcing strings 21 and the ribs 13. While nylon cord material is preferred, as reinforcing string 21 other strong material such as wire string could suffice.
- Each of said reinforcing strings 21 having a length of between 12 and 45 inches radiate spacedly from said sliding catch 15 their inner ends 23 being connected to the ring 18 which is within the confines of the channeled hub 16, while the outer end 24 is secured to the eyelet 25 of the respective ribs 13 it is also possible to secure said outer end 24 to the outer end of said braces 19. Secured also on this eyelet 25 is the outer ends of the fabric canopy C.
- Each of the suspenders 22 is held in position by a pair of upper and lower rings 26 and 26a or other suitable conventional connecting means, the upper ring 26 is connected to the respective ribs 13 while the lower ring 26a is secured to the reinforcing strings 21.
- This suspenders 22 is adapted as an auxiliary support so that the reinforcing string 21 will not sway out of place and at the same time prevent the reinforcing strings 21 from drooping out of the umbrella as 33 when said umbrella is folded as shown in Fig. 6.
- Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the non flip umbrella showing the guy assembly on a different construction.
- the embodied assembly is generally designated by the reference numeral 27.
- This assembly 27 now consists of a circular ring member 28 which is encompassingly secured to the sleeve 15 of said sliding catch 14 of the umbrella.
- Said ring member 28 defines a series of radially disposed holes 32 where elongated reinforcing strings 29 radiates therefrom towards the outer ends of the ribs 13.
- Said reinforcing strings 29 having a length of no less than 12 inches and no more than 45 inches have an inner end 30 being secured on said strength of the conventional materials used in the essential components of the herein improved umbrella.
