  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella is ingeniously designed, concise in structure and can facilitate to open umbrella in a labor saving way. Also, the whole appearance will not be affected and it is appropriate to be promoted and applied on a large scale.
  • the present invention provides an effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella comprising a cantilever, a pulling rope, an elastic component and a fixing block, wherein pulling rope comprises a first end part and a second end part.
  • pulling rope comprises a first end part and a second end part.
  • Said second end part, said elastic component and said fixing block are all arranged inside said cantilever.
  • Said first end part passes through the end face of said cantilever and said second end part is fixed to said fixing block.
  • Said elastic component is arranged between the end face of said cantilever and said fixing block with its two ends resisting against the end face of said cantilever and said fixing block respectively.
  • said elastic component is a spring and said spring sleeves outside said pulling rope.
  • said fixing block is an end face snap-fit piece.
  • said pulling rope is a steel wire rope
  • said end face snap-fit piece is applied for the steel wire rope.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrellas also comprises a bearing component for the pulling rope, and said first end part winds part of said bearing component for the pulling rope.
  • said bearing component for the pulling rope is a bearing block with a groove, and said first end part winds part of said groove.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrellas also comprises a fixing block for the oblique rods.
  • Said bearing component for the pulling rope is mounted on the fixing block for the oblique rods, and said first end part is fixed on said fixing block for the oblique rods.
  • bearing component for the pulling rope and said fixing block for the oblique rods are integrally formed.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrellas also comprises a locking plate.
  • Said fixing block for the oblique rods is fixed on the post of the sunshade umbrella by means of said locking block.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrellas of the present invention comprises a cantilever, a pulling rope, an elastic component and a fixing block; said pulling rope comprises a first end part and a second end part; said second end part, said elastic component and said fixing block are all arranged inside said cantilever; said first end part threads through the end face of said cantilever and said second end part is fixed to said fixing block; said elastic component is arranged between the end face of said cantilever and said fixing block with its two ends resisting against the end face of said cantilever and said fixing block respectively; during the installation,
  • the cantilever is mounted between the two oblique rods which support the umbrella frame; the first end part of the pulling rope is mounted on the post of the sunshade umbrella, and thus making use of the relative movement of the oblique rods relative to the post; the pulling rope pulls the fixing block to compress the elastic component for storing energy to unfold the umbrella.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella of the present invention comprises a cantilever 1, a pulling rope 2, an elastic component 3 and a fixing block 4.
  • Said pulling rope 2 comprises a first end part 21 and a second end part 22.
  • the said second end part 22, the said elastic component 3 and the said fixing block 4 are all arranged inside the said cantilever 1.
  • the said first end part 21 threads the end face 11 of the said cantilever 1.
  • the second end part 22 is fixed to the said fixing block 4.
  • Said elastic component 3 is mounted between the end face 11 of the said cantilever 1 with its two ends resisting against the end face 11 of the cantilever 1 and the said fixing block 4 respectively.
  • the elastic component 3 can be any appropriate component. Please refer to Fig.1 to Fig.3 , in the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic component 3 is a spring and the said spring sleeves outside said pulling rope 2.
  • Said fixing block 4 can be any appropriate component.
  • the said fixing block 4 is an end face snap-fit piece.
  • said pulling rope 2 is a steel wire rope and said end face snap-fit piece is an end face snap-fit piece for a steel wire rope. The steel wire rope is snapped in the end face snap-fit piece.
  • said effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella also comprises a bearing component 5 for the pulling rope.
  • the said first end part 21 winds part of the said bearing component 5.
  • Said bearing component 5 can be of any appropriate structure. Please refer to Fig.1 to Fig.3 , in the embodiment of the present invention, said bearing component for the pulling rope 5 is a bearing block with a groove, and the first end part 21 winds part of said groove.
  • the oblique rod 10 of the sunshade umbrella can be fixed to the post 20 by any appropriate ways.
  • the said effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella also comprises a fixing block 6 for the oblique rods.
  • Said bearing component 5 for the pulling rope is mounted on the said fixing block 6 for the oblique rod.
  • Said first end pat 21 is fixed on the said fixing block 6 for the oblique rods.
  • the oblique rods 10 are pivotally connected with the fixing block 6 and the fixing block 6 is fixed on the post 20.
  • Said bearing component 5 for the pulling rope can be mounted on said fixing block 6 for the oblique rod; or otherwise, said bearing component 5 for the pulling rope and said fixing block 6 for the oblique rods can be formed integrally.
  • the bearing block 5 with the groove and said fixing block 6 for the oblique rods are formed integrally. That is to say, the groove is actually a protruded groove of the fixing block 6 for the oblique rods and preferably has a gradual changing diameter.
  • Said fixing block 6 for the oblique rods can be fixed to the post 20 of the sunshade umbrella in any appropriate structures.
  • said effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrellas also comprises a locking plate 7.
  • Said fixing block 6 for the oblique rods is fixed to the post 20 of the sunshade umbrella by means of the said locking plate 7.
  • the oblique rods 10 are pivotally connected with the fixing block 6 for the oblique rods by means of a connecting head 30.
  • the cantilever1 is mounted between the two oblique rods 10 which support the umbrella fame.
  • the first end part 21 of the pulling rope 2 winds the groove and is mounted on the fixing block 6 for the oblique rod.
  • the fixing block 6 for the oblique rod is fixed to the post 20 of the sunshade umbrella by means of the said locking plate 7, for example locking screw.
  • Fig.2 it is an unfolding status of the umbrella.
  • the spring inside the cantilever 1 is in its initial status which can be considered that there is no compressive force.
  • Fig.3 it is an folding status of the umbrella. Since the length of the wire steel rope won't change, and as the oblique rods 10 rotate downwards and inwards relative to the post 20, the more of the wire steel rope will wind the groove. For example, the steel wire rope in Fig.3 wind almost a quarter of the groove, and thus the difference in size is produced. The steel wire rope makes the end face snap-fit piece compress the spring to produce a reactive force against the folding action.
  • the rebound force of the spring is less than the force that is needed to unfold the umbrella, so that the umbrella can be folded successfully. In reverse, when the umbrella is unfolded, this rebound force will facilitate to unfold the umbrella effortlessly.
  • the specific process is that the spring elongates to make the end face snap-fit piece for the steel wire rope acting on the cantilever internally, which makes the oblique rods unfolded.
  • the effortless unfolding structure of sunshade umbrella is ingeniously designed, concise in structure, and can facilitate to open umbrella in a labor saving way.
  • the overall appearance will not be damaged. It is suitable to be promoted and applied on a large scale.
