Said one-handed operating mechanism is operated in the same way as the abovementioned embodiment. - In the abovementioned another embodiment of the present invention, it is designed that the distance between the point of the pivot connecting the end portion of said actuating
section 6 of theelbow member 2 with saidlink 10 and thebottom side 13 of saidchannel 4 is longer when said actuatingsection 6 stays at the starting position before moving, as compared to the similar distance when the actuating section has travelled the first half of its movement. Therefore, said connectingmember 3 will be moved over one half of the entire movement required to open the umbrella after said actuatingsection 6 has travelled the first half of its movement; when said actuatingsection 6 travels the second half of its movement, said connectingmember 3 needs only to travel less than one half of its entire opening movement, thereby acquiring a higher mechanical advantage to provide a stronger force required to flex the ribs and to tension the cover. The diversity between the above said distances at different positions may be different with different designs; nevertheless, said actuatingsection 6 and said connectingmember 3 will still drive each other to achieve a coordinated operation without any obstruction. - Referring to Fig. 5, in the still another embodiment of the present invention, the
clutch 8 provided in the upper part of thehandle 1 is obviated, and the connecting member is astraight rod 14, with itslower end 15 pivotally connected to the end portion of the actuatingsection 6. To open the umbrella, the hand holding thehandle 1 needs only to squeeze thehandgrip section 5 of theelbow member 2 with the palm to let the actuatingsection 6 drive thestraight rod 14 to open the umbrella, and the hand should remain tightly grasping thehandgrip section 5 to maintain the umbrella in the opening state. To close the umbrella, the grasp of the hand should be loosened and the hand should be shifted to the upper half of thehandle 1 and meanwhile hold the umbrella with its tip upward, then the umbrella will be closed by its own weight under the influence of gravity. Or, the force storage achieved in the opening process of the umbrella, for example, the spring force of the compression spring (not shown) achieved in the compression in the opening process, can be utilized to close the umbrella. - The one-handed operating mechanism for use in opening and closing an umbrella possesses the advantages of simple construction, convenient operation, and a higher mechanical advantage to provide a stronger force required to flex the ribs and to tension the cover when the umbrella reaches the last stage of its opening process.
