DESCRIPTION
The present invention refers to a containing structure for an umbrella, in particular a folding umbrella.
As known, folding umbrellas are equipped with a telescopic handle and a framework consisting of folding ribs so as to considerably reduce the bulk, in the folded condition, with respect to traditional umbrellas.
Folding umbrellas have the great advantage of being able to be kept in a bag, or even in the pocket of a coat or raincoat, in order to be used only in case of necessity.
However, after use, the umbrella cannot be put back in the bag or case without damaging the content thereof and the bag itself.
Indeed, the folding umbrella is normally kept, until the moment of use, in a bag together with documents and personal effects and even if it is only damp, it is not possible to put it back in the same bag after use.
Traditional folding umbrellas are normally equipped with a cover, which, as well as not being easy to use, is still not capable of preventing that the dampness accumulated by the umbrella filters through the case itself once the wet umbrella is inserted into the cover.
The task of the present invention is to provide a containing structure which allows the umbrella to be put back, even when soaking wet, preventing the water from leaking out.
In the scope of this task, an object of the present invention is to provide a containing structure which is easy to use.
Another object is to provide a containing structure which has a minimum bulk.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a structure which can be produced using commonly commercially available elements and materials and which is also competitive from an economic point of view.
Due to its peculiar constructional features, the present structure is capable of ensuring the most extensive guarantees of reliability and safety in use.
This and other objects, which will be described more clearly below, are achieved by a containing structure for umbrella, characterized in that it comprises a waterproof containing body, equipped with at least one opening for inserting an umbrella therein and draining means for draining water out of said containing body when said umbrella is arranged when wet in said waterproof containing body.
The containing body can be provided with aeration grills.
The aforementioned containing body preferably comprises a watertight collecting area, into which the water can flow which drains from the cover of the umbrella, when the latter is inserted when wet into the containing body.
Said collecting area is generally placed in the lower part of the containing body and is generally adjacent thereto.
The aforementioned collecting zone retains the water which has drained from the umbrella in order to then be drained, totally or partially, when desired by the user, by means of a draining device with tap or other system.
The features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description of the forms of practical embodiment thereof, shown by way of non-limiting examples in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
figure 1 is a perspective view of a folding umbrella and the containing structure according with a first embodiment of the invention; figure 2 is a perspective view which shows the umbrella in figure 1 partially inserted into the containing structure;
figure 3 is a perspective view of the containing structure in figure 1 with the umbrella folded therein;
figure 4 is an enlarged section view of the containing structure in figure 1 and the lower area enlarged;
figure 5 is a view of only the tank for collecting the water from the wet umbrella;
figure 6 is a perspective view of the containing structure for umbrella in accordance with a second embodiment of the invention;
figure 7 is a perspective view which shows the umbrella in figure 6 partially inserted into the containing structure;
figure 8 is a perspective view of the containing structure in figure 6 with the umbrella therein;

With particular reference to figures 1-5, a containing structure or cover for umbrella is shown according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Containing structure or cover 1 comprises a substantially cylindrical containing body 2, which is open at upper end 51 and equipped with an opening 3 of the cylindrical skirt, preferably of the V-type, by means of which a folding umbrella 4 can be inserted into said body.
Containing body 2 is preferably made from flexible waterproof material and has a collecting area 5, below, into which the water 6 can flow which drains from the cover 7, e.g. made from fabric, of the umbrella 4, when the latter is inserted when wet into containing body 2. Collecting area 5 is arranged to close the cylindrical containing body 2 at lower end 52 opposite to open upper end 51 adapted to accommodate the end 41 of umbrella 4 opposite to handle 42.
Collecting area 5 can be provided in one or two pieces with containing body 2, i.e. constitute a separate component made from different materials with respect to those used in containing body 2.
In order to empty the water accumulated in collecting area 5, an outlet 1 1 is provided, equipped with a control means 20, e.g. a tap, arranged laterally or below in the bottom 9 of area 5.
Collecting area 5 preferably comprises a water collecting tank 100, better visible in figure 5, with an upper wall 8 shaped so as to allow the flow of drainage water from umbrella 4 towards a hole 10 for entry into tank 100; tank 100 comprises an internal bottom wall 9 shaped so as to allow the flow of water collected in the tank towards a drainage hole 1 1 equipped with a control means 20, e.g. a tap with unscrewing/screwing plug or other system.
Hole 10 is preferably equipped with a check valve, or other system, which allows the entry of water into tank 100 but not the leaking of the same.
Another hole 18, preferably equipped with a check valve or other system, with the function of bleed valve is preferably placed in the part immediately above entry hole 10 (figure 5) of tank 100, but may also be provided along the lateral walls of collecting zone 5.
To facilitate the filling of tank 100, small tubes are preferably provided within tank 100 and connected to holes 10 and 18 in order to facilitate collecting of water within the tank and bleeding of air from the tank. In the case in which hole 10 is arranged in proximity of the periphery of upper wall 8 of tank 100, a small tube, connected to hole 10, is adapted to carry the water towards the central part of the tank and another small tube, connected to hole 18, is adapted to let the air out of the central part of tank 100.
Opening 3 of containing body 2 is advantageously provided so as to facilitate the inserting of the umbrella when the latter is soaking wet and the cover is ruffled.
For this purpose, opening 3 consists, for example, of a zip 12 which can be opened by means of slider 14. Preferably, a strip 16 of cover 1 may be provided which is integral with only one of the sides of opening 3 and adapted to internally cover zip 12. An element made from rubber, or other material or another system, is preferably fixed to upper edge 99, with the function of facilitating the opening of zip 12.
