[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a retractable umbrella cover for being combined with a western umbrella.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In particular, a long umbrella, which is the mainstream of rain umbrellas,
Conventionally, there is no practical means for incorporating a flexible umbrella cover into the main body of the umbrella, and there is a problem that the umbrella cover formed as a separate body is lost. Furthermore, because the cover with both ends open is not sufficiently waterproof, the operation of covering the wet and folded umbrella with the cover is troublesome.
At present, long umbrellas are sold without an umbrella cover. However, when a wet umbrella after use is brought into a vehicle or a building, there is an inconvenient and undesired problem of getting the floor, belongings, clothes, etc. wet, and wet others in a crowded place.

[0003] Therefore, there are many publicly known documents in which a means for forming an umbrella cover for the purpose of solving the above problems of a wet rain umbrella after use has been known, and the following is a typical publicly known technique relating to the umbrella cover. The outline of is explained. First,
A publicly known technique in which a plurality of connecting cylinders having different diameters of cylindrical bodies are fitted concentrically to each other, and a retractable connecting cylinder is formed by interposing locking means at the end of each connecting cylinder to form an umbrella cover. It has been known. That is, when the umbrella is closed, the connecting cylinder is extended most so as to cover the folded peripheral surface of the umbrella, and when the umbrella is used, the connecting cylinder is put in the shortest state and attached to the stone protrusion of the umbrella. Many publicly known technologies have been used for a long time.
No. 8, No. 52-25329, No. 53-3096
No. 5, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-47957, etc., there are disclosed known documents having a similar structure. (Hereinafter, in the present patent application, for convenience of description, the state in which the umbrella is opened may be referred to as an open umbrella, and the state in which the umbrella is closed may be referred to as a closed umbrella). And
Japanese Patent No. 2676418 is embodied in a product. However, the rain umbrella cover according to the known art has the following problems because the connecting cylinder is constituted by a plurality of cylindrical bodies that are structurally molded from plastic having rigidity. (1) Although the jump type is commercialized, there is a drawback that if the push button is operated for opening the umbrella while the connecting cylinder is not completely compressed, the ribs are damaged. (2) During operation, the joint portion of the connecting cylinder is easily damaged, and water leakage at the connecting portion cannot be avoided. (3) Water leakage cannot be avoided from the open end of the connecting cylinder when it is placed horizontally after use. (4) The inside of the connecting cylinder is not dried but is stored in a wet state. The umbrella cover commercialized by the above-mentioned known technique has the above-mentioned practical problems.

Next, a bellows-shaped umbrella cover is provided on the side of a western umbrella or on the side of a stone stalk, or attachment / detachment-type constituent means is disclosed in JP-A-57-37406 and JP-A-54-105763. Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-29012, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-96721, and the like. The bellows-type umbrella cover shown in those documents is unclear because the specific description of the constitution is not shown in any of the above-mentioned disclosed documents. However, in the drawings, the bellows part is shown as a configuration body in which all are exposed, so those bellows-type umbrella covers are considered to have been proposed on the assumption that a bellows-shaped umbrella cover is processed in advance. It seems difficult to realize the bellows type umbrella cover disclosed in the literature.

By the way, the present applicant has made an invention suitable for solving the problem of the umbrella cover in the foldable umbrella with the similar configuration contents to the present patent application, and already applied for the patent application 20.
