Description

La présente invention concerne une poignée de parapluie et plus particulièrement un perfectionnement visant à permettre la personnalisation et la décoration de ladite poignée ainsi qu'à améliorer le confort d'utilisation.The present invention relates to an umbrella handle and more. particularly an improvement aimed at enabling the customization and decoration of said handle as well as to improve comfort of use.

On connaít plusieurs types de poignées de parapluie comme, par exemple, des poignées de type canne réalisées en bois, voire en matière plastique ou autre plastiques. Celles-ci présentent un grand confort d'utilisation lorsque le parapluie est fermé et que l'utilisateur se sert dudit parapluie comme d'une simple canne, mais sont, le plus souvent, peu confortables lorsque l'on utilise le parapluie dans sa fonction première, c'est-à-dire en position ouverte vers le haut. La prise en main de la forme recourbée de la poignée n'est pas aisée et les utilisateurs ont généralement tendance à empoigner de préférence la partie droite de la poignée prolongeant le manche proprement dit du parapluie voir le manche lui-même. On connaít également des poignées de parapluie de type pommeau ayant une forme quasi cylindrique et prolongeant le manche. Ces poignées sont généralement de couleur unie, réalisé le plus souvent en matière plastique et si le confort d'utilisation s'en retrouve amélioré, il reste que leur esthétisme n'est généralement pas leur qualité première.We know several types of umbrella handles like, for example example, cane type handles made of wood, or even of material plastic or other plastics. These are very comfortable of use when the umbrella is closed and the user uses said umbrella umbrella like a simple cane, but are, more often than not, little comfortable when using the umbrella in its primary function, that is to say in the open upward position. The grip of the form curved handle is not easy and users have usually tend to grab the right side of the handle extending the actual handle of the umbrella see the sleeve itself. We also know umbrella handles of pommel type having an almost cylindrical shape and extending the handle. These handles are usually solid in color, made the most often plastic and if the comfort of use is found improved, the fact remains that their aesthetics is generally not their quality first.

La présente invention se propose de résoudre ces inconvénients grâce à une poignée de parapluie pouvant être personnalisée à son goût et jouissant d'un confort d'utilisation optimum. Ainsi, les parapluies possédant la poignée selon l'invention peuvent avantageusement devenir un outil de communication publicitaire pour une entreprise, par exemple, ou constituer un cadeau original et personnalisé pour un particulier.The present invention proposes to resolve these drawbacks thanks to an umbrella handle that can be personalized to your taste and enjoying optimum user comfort. So the umbrellas having the handle according to the invention can advantageously become an advertising communication tool for a company, by example, or constitute an original and personalized gift for a particular.

Ainsi la poignée de parapluie selon l'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte au moins une enceinte délimitée en partie par une paroi périphérique latérale au moins en partie transparente. Thus the umbrella handle according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one enclosure delimited in part by an at least partially transparent lateral peripheral wall.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la poignée de parapluie est constituée par une enceinte délimitée par une paroi périphérique latérale, une paroi transversale supérieure et une embase de poignée.According to another characteristic, the umbrella handle is constituted by an enclosure delimited by a peripheral wall side, an upper transverse wall and a handle base.

De plus, selon un premier mode de réalisation, la forme du volume interne de l'enceinte est sensiblement identique à la forme externe de la poignée.In addition, according to a first embodiment, the shape of the internal volume of the enclosure is substantially identical to the shape handle.

Selon une autre caractéristique, la paroi périphérique latérale comporte au moins une portion de paroi latérale supérieure de forme tronconique et une portion de paroi latérale inférieure de forme cylindrique.According to another characteristic, the lateral peripheral wall has at least a portion of upper side wall of shape frustoconical and a portion of lower side wall of shape cylindrical.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, l'enceinte de la poignée de parapluie contient un élément décoratif.According to an additional characteristic, the enclosure of the umbrella handle contains a decorative element.

Selon une variante, l'élément décoratif est constitué en partie par deux liquides non miscibles remplissant au moins partiellement l'enceinte.According to a variant, the decorative element is constituted in part by two immiscible liquids at least partially filling the enclosure.

Selon une autre variante, l'élément décoratif est constitué par un élément solide composé tel que le sable, les grains de café, le millet, les céréales.According to another variant, the decorative element consists of a compound solid such as sand, coffee beans, millet, cereals.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la forme du volume interne de l'enceinte est différente de la forme externe de la poignée.According to a second embodiment, the shape of the volume internal enclosure is different from the external shape of the handle.

Selon une autre caractéristique, l'embase de poignée est destinée à fermer hermétiquement l'enceinte.According to another characteristic, the handle base is intended to close the enclosure hermetically.

Selon une caractéristique complémentaire, la poignée, et par exemple l'embase de poignée, est munie d'un dispositif de sécurité destiné à empêcher toute détérioration de l'ensemble de la poignée due à la pression interne de l'enceinte, ledit dispositif étant, par exemple, constitué par une trappe.According to an additional characteristic, the handle, and by example the handle base, is fitted with a safety device intended to prevent any deterioration of the entire handle due to the internal pressure of the enclosure, said device being, for example, constituted by a hatch.

La figure 6 est une vue de face de la poignée selon le deuxième mode de réalisation montrant l'enceinte remplie par des graines.Figure 6 is a front view of the handle according to the second embodiment showing the enclosure filled with seeds.

La poignée (1) du parapluie (2) selon l'invention comporte au moins une enceinte (3) délimitée en partie par une paroi périphérique latérale (4) au moins en partie transparente. Ladite poignée (1) comporte à son extrémité supérieure (5a) un embout de poignée (6) avec lequel est destiné à venir coopérer une extrémité du manche (7) proprement dit du parapluie (2) et à son extrémité inférieure (5b) une embase de poignée (8) pouvant servir avantageusement à fermer hermétiquement ladite enceinte (3) comme le montre la figure 3b.The handle (1) of the umbrella (2) according to the invention comprises at at least one enclosure (3) delimited in part by a peripheral wall lateral (4) at least partially transparent. Said handle (1) has at its upper end (5a) a handle endpiece (6) with which is intended to come to cooperate one end of the handle (7) proper of the umbrella (2) and at its lower end (5b) a handle base (8) which can advantageously be used for closing hermetically said enclosure (3) as shown in Figure 3b.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention illustré figures 1, 2, 3a, 3b et 3c, la poignée (1) comporte un axe de révolution (XX') et est constitué d'une enceinte (3) délimitée, d'une part, par une paroi périphérique latérale (4) réalisée en matière plastique transparente et, d'autre part, par une paroi transversale supérieure (9) et une embase de poignée (8) servant à fermer hermétiquement ladite enceinte (3). Un embout de poignée (6) constitué par un tube dont l'extrémité supérieure est légèrement arrondie est fixé par tout moyens sur l'extrémité supérieure (5a) de l'enceinte (3) comme par exemple par collage, vissage ou clipsage. Ledit embout (6) est destiné à recevoir dans un alésage (10) situé à son extrémité supérieure le manche (7) du parapluie pour y être fixé de manière connue en soi.According to a first embodiment of the invention illustrated Figures 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 3c, the handle (1) has an axis of revolution (XX ') and consists of an enclosure (3) delimited, on the one hand, by a lateral peripheral wall (4) made of transparent plastic and, on the other hand, by an upper transverse wall (9) and a base handle (8) for hermetically closing said enclosure (3). A handle end piece (6) consisting of a tube whose upper end is slightly rounded is fixed by any means on the end upper (5a) of the enclosure (3) such as by gluing, screwing or clipping. Said nozzle (6) is intended to receive in a bore (10) located at its upper end the handle (7) of the umbrella to be fixed in a manner known per se.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation, la paroi périphérique latérale (4) comporte avantageusement une portion de paroi latérale supérieure (4a) de forme tronconique prolongeant la paroi transversale supérieure (9), ladite portion de paroi latérale supérieure étant prolongée vers le bas par une portion de paroi latérale inférieure (4b) de forme cylindrique à l'extrémité de laquelle est destinée à venir se fixer par tout moyens comme par exemple par soudage, collage ou vissage, l'embase de poignée (8), comme le montrent les figures 2 et 3b.According to this first embodiment, the peripheral wall side (4) advantageously comprises a portion of side wall upper (4a) of frustoconical shape extending the transverse wall upper (9), said upper side wall portion being extended downwards by a portion of lower side wall (4b) of cylindrical shape at the end of which is intended to come fix by any means such as for example by welding, gluing or screwing, the handle base (8), as shown in Figures 2 and 3b.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation, la paroi périphérique latérale (4, 4a, 4b) est avantageusement d'épaisseur (e) constante et délimite ainsi un volume interne de l'enceinte (3) dont la forme est sensiblement identique à la forme externe de la poignée tel qu'illustré figure 3b.According to this first embodiment, the peripheral wall lateral (4, 4a, 4b) is advantageously of constant thickness (e) and thus delimits an internal volume of the enclosure (3) whose shape is substantially identical to the external shape of the handle as illustrated Figure 3b.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation illustré figure 4, la paroi périphérique latérale (4, 4a, 4b) définit une forme externe de la poignée identique à celle du premier mode de réalisation mais délimite intérieurement un volume interne de forme différente grâce à une variation de l'épaisseur (e) de ladite paroi périphérique. Une des variante d'exécution de ce deuxième mode consiste à réaliser un volume interne ayant par exemple la forme d'un sablier.According to a second embodiment illustrated in Figure 4, the wall lateral device (4, 4a, 4b) defines an external shape of the handle identical to that of the first embodiment but delimits internally an internal volume of different shape thanks to a variation of the thickness (e) of said peripheral wall. One of the variant of this second mode consists in making a volume internal, for example in the shape of an hourglass.

Selon les différents modes de réalisation précédemment décrits, l'enceinte (3) de la poignée (1) est destinée à être remplie au moins partiellement par un élément décoratif (11). Ledit élément décoratif (11) pouvant avantageusement être constitué de deux liquides non miscibles (11a, 11b), par exemple, auquel on peut ajouter une figurine personnalisée (11c), tel que le montre la figure 5, ou bien être constitué d'un liquide auquel on ajoute des paillettes. Ledit élément décoratif (11) peut également être constitué par un élément solide composé (11d) comme du sable, des graines, du millet, des grains de café ou des céréales, comme le montre la figure 6. Il va de soi que l'élément décoratif pourrait être constitué par un élément ou un matériau différent sans pour autant sortir du domaine de protection de l'invention.According to the various embodiments previously described, the enclosure (3) of the handle (1) is intended to be filled at least partially by a decorative element (11). Said decorative element (11) can advantageously consist of two immiscible liquids (11a, 11b), for example, to which one can add a figurine customized (11c), as shown in Figure 5, or be made up of a liquid to which glitter is added. Said decorative element (11) can also be constituted by a solid solid element (11d) such as sand, seeds, millet, coffee beans or cereals, as shown in Figure 6. It goes without saying that the element decorative could consist of a different element or material without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.

Selon les différents modes de réalisation décrits, la poignée comporte ainsi une enceinte (3) unique qui peut être avantageusement remplie d'un élément décoratif (11) avant d'être refermée hermétiquement à son extrémité inférieure (5b) par l'embase de poignée (8). Il va de soi que la poignée pourrait comporter deux enceintes ou plus dont le remplissage pourrait être par exemple effectué par les deux extrémités de la poignée, sans pour autant sortir du champ de protection de l'invention. De même, une partie seulement de la paroi périphérique latérale (4, 4a, 4b) pourrait être transparente, alors qu'une autre partie pourrait être décorée, par exemple, avec le logo d'une entreprise ou autre. De plus, la forme extérieure de la poignée (1) délimitée par la paroi périphérique latérale (4, 4a, 4b) pourrait être différente et présenter, par exemple, un profil de type canne ou de forme sphérique, sans pour autant sortir du champ de protection revendiqué de l'invention.According to the various embodiments described, the handle thus comprises a single enclosure (3) which can advantageously be filled with a decorative element (11) before being closed hermetically at its lower end (5b) by the handle base (8). It goes without saying that the handle could have two speakers or more whose filling could for example be carried out by the two ends of the handle, without leaving the protective field of the invention. Likewise, only part of the peripheral wall lateral (4, 4a, 4b) could be transparent, while another part could be decorated, for example, with a company logo or other. In addition, the external shape of the handle (1) delimited by the lateral peripheral wall (4, 4a, 4b) could be different and present, for example, a rod type profile or a spherical shape, without departing from the claimed protective field of the invention.

Notons que l'embout de poignée (6) peut avantageusement être fixé sur l'extrémité supérieure (5a) de la poignée (1) par sertissage par ultrason, de même que l'embase (8) à l'extrémité inférieure (5b).Note that the handle endpiece (6) can advantageously be fixed on the upper end (5a) of the handle (1) by crimping by ultrasound, as well as the base (8) at the lower end (5b).

Par ailleurs, la poignée peut comporter avantageusement un dispositif de sécurité non représenté, destiné à éviter tout risque de détérioration de l'ensemble de la poignée du à la chaleur comme, par exemple, lorsque l'utilisateur laisse le parapluie sur la lunette arrière d'une voiture au soleil. Ce dispositif de sécurité peut être constitué par une trappe de sécurité située sur l'embase et destinée à s'ouvrir lorsque la pression interne dans l'enceinte est supérieure à une valeur déterminée. Notons, de plus, que lorsque l'élément décoratif est un liquide, l'embase de poignée peut être fixée sur l'enceinte avant le remplissage de celle-ci, remplissage qui s'effectue par la trappe de sécurité, ladite trappe étant ensuite refermée de manière étanche afin de constituer une embase homogène.Furthermore, the handle may advantageously include a safety device not shown, intended to avoid any risk of deterioration of the entire handle due to heat such as example, when the user leaves the umbrella on the rear window of a car in the sun. This safety device can be constituted by a safety hatch located on the base and intended to open when the internal pressure in the enclosure is greater than a determined value. Note, moreover, that when the decorative element is a liquid, the base handle can be fixed on the enclosure before filling it, filling which is carried out by the safety hatch, said hatch being then tightly closed to form a base homogeneous.

Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés à titre d'exemples, mais elle comprend aussi tous les équivalents techniques ainsi que leurs combinaisons.Of course, the invention is not limited to the modes of realization described and represented as examples, but it includes also all technical equivalents and their combinations.
