DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

A conventional automatic umbrella has substantially the following components. That is, it is composed of a straight nested handle with a grip provided with a top and a closing mechanism at its end, a main slider and an auxiliary slider, and a large number of supporting bones and auxiliary bones. There is an umbrella cloth carried on an umbrella system which is tiltably connected (DE 35 319 51).

When closing the umbrella, a plurality of rods of a nested handle are inserted into each other, and the umbrella cloth is folded around a shortened nested handle by an umbrella bone system, inside the nested handle,
The compression spring between the main slider and the auxiliary slider is compressed. When opening the umbrella, the force of the spring opens the umbrella bone system with the umbrella cloth. Similarly, these bars of the telescoping handle exit each other.

When opening the umbrella, the nested handle stands upright at the center of the umbrella. Due to the undesired position of the telescopic handle when opening the umbrella, only about one third of the umbrella's covering surface is effectively utilized.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to increase the utilization of a covering surface.

[0005] This problem has been solved by a configuration according to claims 1 and 7. Advantageous configurations of the invention are set out in the dependent claims.

And auxiliary bone 4.3 are arranged to be tiltable. At the other end, support bone 4.2 is umbrella bone 4.1
In addition, the auxiliary bone 4.3 is linked to the supporting bone 4.2, respectively.

FIG. 3 shows the slide unit 5 with two open tongues 5.5 forming a guide passage for the connecting pin 3.1, with the guide pin 5.4 arranged laterally at the lower end. It is shown to have two constrictions 5.4.1. These constrictions correspond to the closing mechanism of the grip 6.

The grip 6 shown in FIG. 4 has a guide passage C for the lower end of the guide pin 5.4 of the slide unit 5, in which a closing mechanism is arranged. The closing mechanism comprises an operating key 6.1 and an open leg spring 6.2 which, when closed with the umbrella, fits into the constriction 5.4.1 of the guide pin 5.4 and thus locks the slide unit. I have.

If you want to open the umbrella, press the activation key 6.1. Then, the opening leg spring 6 of the closing mechanism is provided.
.2 protrude from the constriction 5.4.1 of the guide pin 5.4. The slide unit 5 thus released jumps in the direction of the top 2 along the telescopic handle 1 on a certain surface.
This surface is determined by pivotally coupling the guide slider 1.3 to the auxiliary slider 5.1 of the slide unit 5 and by pivotally coupling the top 2 to the connecting part 3. At the same time, these sticks of the bent telescopic handle emerge telescopically.

When the slide unit 5 hits the connecting part 3, it opens the umbrella bone system having the umbrella cloth 4, and the connecting pin 3.1 slides into the guide passage of the auxiliary slider 5.1, and the connecting pin 3 of the connecting part 3 Detained in .1 The tongue 5.5 of the auxiliary slider 5.1 then ensures that the slide unit 5 is correctly connected to the connection part 3.

The structure of the connecting part 3 which determines the turning angle of the top part 2 and allows the slide unit 5 to be fixed to the connecting pin 3.1 of the connecting part 3 makes the upper part of the umbrella an open and strong unit. Become. In this way, the umbrella system holds the umbrella cloth 4 stably despite the wind pressure.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 in which the guide slider 1.3 is divided, the wind force is not only exerted by the support bones 4.2 and the connection pins 3.1 of the slide unit 5 but also by the support bones 4.2. , The auxiliary slider 5.1, the guide slider 1.3 and the intermediate piece 3.2 of the connecting part 3 parallel to the connecting pin 3.1 are also transmitted to the telescopic handle 1. The intermediate piece 3.2 of the connecting part 3 prevents the slide unit 5 from coming off naturally from the connecting pin 3.1 under high wind pressure.

To close the umbrella, the main slider 5.2 is grasped and pulled downward in the direction of 6. In that case, the umbrella system with the umbrella cloth 4 is similarly folded around the bent telescopic handle 1 by the action of the supporting bone 4.2 and the auxiliary bone 4.3. The slide unit 5 comes off the connection pin 3.1 and moves together to compress the compression spring 5.3. Auxiliary slider 5.1

At the end of the closing process, the lower end of the guide pin 5.4 slides into the guide passage of the handle 6 until the opening leg spring 6.2 of the closing mechanism jumps into the constriction 5.4.1. . This closing process ends.

Another embodiment is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 in order to simplify the production of an automatic umbrella with a bent telescopic handle 1. In this case, the slide unit 5 is arranged so as to be slidable on the bent nested handle as in the case of the conventional automatic umbrella, in addition to the bent nested handle 1.

The umbrella shown in FIG. 5 is, as already explained above, a bent telescopic handle 1, an umbrella cloth 4
, The slide unit 5 and the grip 6. In this case, the telescopic handle 1 is two or three bent bars.

The rods of the telescopic handle 1 are non-rotatably guided in a telescopic manner and are secured to one another by the lock 1.1 in the extended state. The bars are pulled together by the compression spring 1.2.

At the upper end of the bent nested handle 1, a connection portion 3 having a shape bent in a direction different from that of the bent nested handle 1 is attached. A top 2 is pivotally mounted on this connection 3 at a limited angle in one direction only, and the pivot of the top 2 is from the plane E1 where the connection point of the umbrella 4.1 and the top 2 is located. There is also a high position.

The supporting bone 4.2, which provides the link connection between the auxiliary slider 5.1 and the umbrella 4.1, is shown in FIGS.
Unlike the configuration described in FIG. 4, it is made in different lengths and is mounted around the umbrella bone 4.1 at different distances from the top 2.

In order to guarantee the function of the slide unit 5, the spare bone 4.5 is inclined with respect to the auxiliary bone 5.1 at the same angle β as the supporting bone 4.2 opposite to the auxiliary bone 5.1 when the umbrella is opened. Several units of possible spare bones 4.4 and 4.5 are mounted at the umbrella bone 4.1 or the auxiliary slider 5.1.

Due to the angle β between the spare bone 4.5 and the auxiliary slider 5.1 and between the opposing supporting bones 4.2 and the auxiliary slider 5.1, the compression spring 5.3 is assisted when the umbrella is opened. Acting uniformly on the slider 5.1, this prevents the slide unit 5 from being caught in the telescopic handle 1.

Furthermore, the spare bone 4.5 is bent upward at the end opposite to the auxiliary slide 5.1 so that the connecting axis with the spare bone 4.4 does not form a sharp corner.

The grip 6 attached to the lower end of the telescoping handle 1 is ergonomically formed so that the open umbrella can be automatically guided to the correct position with only one easy access. .

In order to open the umbrella, the operation key 6.1 of the grip 6 is pressed. The slide unit 5 released in this way jumps up on the telescopic handle 1 in the direction of the top 2.
At the same time, these bars of the bent telescopic handle 1 come out telescopically. When the slide unit 5 hits the connection part 3, it opens the umbrella bone system with the umbrella cloth 4.

To close the umbrella, the main slider 5.2 is pulled down. Support bone 4.2 and auxiliary bone 4
The action of .3 allows the umbrella bone system with the umbrella cloth 4 to be folded uniformly around the bent telescopic handle 1. The slide unit 5 moves together and compresses the compression spring 5.3.

When the main slider 5.2 pushes the lock 1.1, the stable connection of these bars of the telescoping handle 1 is loosened and these bars are pushed into each other. In that case, the compression spring 1.1 is compressed. When the main slider 5.2 hits the grip 6, the closing mechanism is activated, thereby ending the closing process.
