Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to umbrellas such as rain umbrellas and parasols.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Advances in technology related to rain umbrellas are mainly achieved in folding umbrellas, jump umbrellas and the like, folding umbrellas, convenience in unfolding umbrellas, and making umbrellas compact and lightweight. It is a point. However, when you put your umbrella on a rainy day, you realize that it is more important not to get wet than the convenience.

[0003] Conventional umbrellas are usually made so that ribs of the same length extend radially from the center rod and the line connecting the dew points is circular. When holding the handle of an umbrella by hand, it is often the case that the elbow is bent slightly and the arm is extended to hold the umbrella, rather than holding the middle stick in close contact with the body. For this reason, the center rod is located ahead of the body by the distance from the elbow to the palm.

[0004]

In the conventional umbrella, since the center rod is located at the center of the umbrella, holding the umbrella with the hand moves the umbrella away from the body by the distance from the elbow to the palm. For this reason, even with an ordinary umbrella, there is a drawback that the shoulders, arms, back, etc. get wet if the rainy feet are a little strong. Also, when there is wind on a rainy day, the umbrella is held in a tilted state, so that the opposite side of the tilted umbrella rises up and the rain wets the clothes. To compensate for this drawback, some umbrellas have a larger size, but the handle becomes longer and the umbrella becomes heavier, making it difficult to hold.

In the method of partially extending the ribs of the umbrella, the stretched ribs become long and difficult to fold. If you use a conventional umbrella and attach the center rod to the front of the center of the umbrella and simply connect the skeleton to the place where the rib length is insufficient, the dew point of the skeleton will drop and It is difficult to use because it is wrapped around, and the effect of preventing shoulder wetting may be reduced by half when the umbrella is tilted depending on the wind direction. In addition, when the calf is folded, there is a drawback that it cannot be neatly folded. As described above, since a suitable shoulder wetting prevention umbrella has not been conventionally provided, in the present invention, the center rod is attached to the front of the center of the umbrella, and the line connecting all the dew points is a vertical center rod. It is intended to provide a shoulder wetting prevention umbrella that is almost horizontal and is easy to fold.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, in the umbrella for preventing shoulder wetting according to claim 1 of the present invention, from the center rod 1 mounted in front of the center of the umbrella to the covering cloth 12.
In order to adjust the difference in length up to the outer circumference of the ribs, the auxiliary ribs 3 are used in places where the length of the ribs 2 is insufficient, and the ribs 2 and the connecting members 7 connect the ribs 2 and the auxiliary ribs 3 rotatably. By that,
The shortage of the ribs 2 is compensated for, and when the umbrella is opened, the line connecting all the dew points 6 becomes almost horizontal at a right angle to the vertically standing center rod 1, When closed, rib 2
The auxiliary ribs 3 are overlapped with each other so that they can be aligned with a uniform length of the ribs 2.

In the umbrella for preventing shoulder wetting according to claim 2, the center rod 1 is attached to the front of the center of the umbrella and the ribs 2a and 2b having a uniform length are attached to the upper wheel 8, and the length of the rib 2b is set. At a position where does not reach the outer periphery of the covering cloth 12, the lamella 11 is foldably connected to the main bone 2b through the joint 5.
In order to keep the dew point 6 of the skeleton 11 at the same height as the dew point 6 of the skeleton 2a, the strength of the skeleton 2b that connects the skeleton 11 is increased to make the bending degree gentle, and further, the skeleton 11 having a high strength is obtained. By using it to balance the curvature of the whole umbrella, and when opening the umbrella, the line connecting all the dew points 6 becomes almost horizontal at a right angle to the vertically standing center rod 1, Lamb 1 when closed
By folding back 1, the uniform ribs 2a and 2b can be aligned with each other.

In the umbrella for preventing shoulder wetting according to claim 3, the center rod 1 is mounted in front of the center of the umbrella, and the upper bone 8 is fitted with the ribs 2a, 2b having a uniform length. At a place where the rib does not reach the outer periphery of the covering cloth 12, the lamella 11 is foldably connected to the rib 2b through the joint 5, and the rib 2b and the lamella 11 are combined to supplement the length to the outer periphery of the umbrella. There is. With such a structure, when the umbrella is opened, the line connecting all the dew points 6 becomes almost horizontal at a right angle to the vertically standing center rod 1, and when the umbrella is closed, The structure of the skeleton 11 has a double structure of the skeleton 11 and the auxiliary skeleton 14 so that the ribs 11 are folded back so that the ribs 2a and 2b can be aligned with a uniform length. Bone 11 and auxiliary bone 14
In order to open and close the umbrella by using, the skeleton 11 slidably supports the middle of the auxiliary skeleton 14, and the auxiliary skeleton 14 slidably supports the main rib 2b.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The method of practicing the present invention can be used even if the number of ribs 2 forming an umbrella is different, and can be used without distinction between a manual umbrella and a jump umbrella. Embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show an embodiment of a shoulder wetting prevention umbrella according to claim 1 of the present invention. The center rod 1 is located in front of the center of the umbrella. As shown in FIG. 1, if the ribs 2 having the same length from the upper roller 8 of the umbrella to the dew point 6 are used, a portion where the length of the ribs 2 is insufficient occurs. An auxiliary rib 3 is added to compensate for this shortage of length. When the umbrella is opened, the line connecting all the dew points 6 becomes almost horizontal at a right angle to the vertically standing center rod 1, and as shown in FIG. 2 and auxiliary rib 3 overlap,
The method for connecting the ribs 2 and the auxiliary ribs 3 is important in order to make the lengths of the ribs 2 uniform.

As an embodiment of the present invention, a jump umbrella composed of eight ribs 2 is targeted. 3 on the upper wheel
A book rib 2 is attached, and five auxiliary ribs 3 are attached. As a method for connecting the five auxiliary ribs 3 and 2 in a stretchable manner, the tip of the auxiliary ribs 3 attached to the upper lock 8 is rotatably connected to the joint 5a of the ribs 4, and the intermediate joint of the auxiliary ribs 3 is connected. 5b is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting member 7, the other end of the connecting member 7 is rotatably connected to the joint 5c at the base of the rib 2, and the tip of the rib 4 is rotated to the joint 5d in the middle of the rib 2. Connect freely. The rectangle formed by the joints 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d is the joint 5c when the main bone 2 is folded.
It becomes a parallelogram located at the tip from b, and as the umbrella is opened, the formed parallelogram changes to a rectangle.
The joint 5c becomes a parallelogram located posterior to the joint 5b. In this way, since the ribs 2 move according to the change in the shape of the rectangle formed by the joints 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d, when the umbrella is opened, the length of the ribs 2 changes from the upper lock 8 to the auxiliary ribs. 3 is added to the joint 5b, and when the umbrella is closed, the length of the connecting member 7 and the length of the auxiliary rib 3 from the upper lock 8 are the same and overlap, so that the length of the auxiliary rib 3 is related. Only the length of the rib 2 remains.

Since all the ribs 2 have the same length, there is no rib 2 protruding from the center rod 1 when the umbrella is closed. As shown in FIG. 3, the set positions of the joints 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d differ depending on the distance between the upper wheel 8 and the tip 6.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of a shoulder wetting prevention umbrella according to claim 2 of the present invention.
Shows the bones of a book. The umbrella according to the invention comprises several ribs 2
This is a configuration in which the skeleton 11 is connected to b. In order to close the umbrella, the ribs 11 have a uniform length. Ribs 2a, 2b
Are the same strength, the tips of the ribs 2a and 2b come to be in a horizontal position with respect to the center rod 1 held vertically.
The dew point 6 of the skeleton 11 connected to the tip of the joint by the joint 5 is the rib 2
It is a position lower than the dew point 6 of a, and the line connecting the entire dew points 6 cannot be positioned horizontally with respect to the center rod 1 held vertically. Therefore, by providing the ribs 2b connecting the bones 11 with higher strength than the other bones 2a and connecting the bones 11 having high strength with the joints 5, the ribs 2b connecting the bones 11 have different degrees of curvature. The line that is looser than the main ribs 2a and connects the dew points 6 can be kept substantially horizontal to the center rod 1 that is held vertically.

FIG. 5 is a view of the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella of the present invention seen from above, showing the positional relationship between the center rod 1, the ribs 2a and 2b, and the ribs 11. It can be understood from the position of the ridge 10 that the center rod 1 is located in front of the center point of the covering cloth 11. Eight ribs 2a extending from the upper wheel 8 to the periphery,
Of the 2b, three front ribs 2a have tips 6 attached to their tips, and the remaining five ribs 2b are connected to the skeleton 11 with a joint 5 interposed therebetween. A dew point 6 is attached to the tip of the skeleton 11. The broken line indicates the fold line 13 when the umbrella is folded.

FIG. 6 shows the state of the frame when the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella according to claim 2 is closed. A front rib 2a, a back rib 2b, and a child bone 11 are shown. Upper wheel 8
The distal end of the skeleton 4 having the root attached to the lower wheel 9 is rotatably connected to the joint 5 in the middle of the rib 2a having the root attached to. The lower wheel 9 moves up and down along the center rod 1, and since the rib 4 has a uniform length, it can be closed so as to be in close contact with the center rod 1. The tip of the rib 2 and the root of the lamella 11 are connected so that the lamella 11 can be folded back by the joint 5. A dew point 6 is attached to the tip of the rib 2 and the tip of the rib 11. The upper part of the upper wheel 8 becomes the tip of the center rod 1, and
It has become.

FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state in which the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella is opened. The curved state of the rib 2a of the center rod 1 is strong, and the rib 2b
The curved state of the pelvis 11 is loose. For this reason,
Therefore, even if the covering cloth 12 is stretched to give tension, the positions of the ribs 2a and the dew points 6 of the child bones 11 are substantially horizontal.

FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are views seen from the side of the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella described in claim 3, and the structure of the umbrella is a jump umbrella. FIG. 8 shows a state in which the umbrella is opened, and FIG. 9 shows a state in which the umbrella is closed. The upper bone 8 of the center rod 1 is fitted with the ribs 2a, and a part of the ribs 2b has the ribs 11 attached to the joints 5.
It is connected so that it can be folded back. As for the ribs 2a, the umbrella is opened and closed by the ribs 4 whose roots are rotatably attached to the lower wheel 9. Regarding the ribs 2b, the root of the auxiliary ribs 14 is rotatably attached to the auxiliary rocker 15 fixed to the center rod 1, and the tip of the auxiliary ribs 14 slides the ribs 2b within a certain range. The middle of the auxiliary rib 14 is adapted to slide the tip of the rib 4 which has a root rotatably attached to the lower wheel 9. As shown in FIG. 8, when the umbrella is opened, the auxiliary ribs 14 and the ribs 4 are parallel to each other. As shown in FIG. 9, when the umbrella is closed, the ribs 4 are located above the auxiliary ribs 14. By sliding, the tip of the auxiliary rib 14 slides toward the tip of the rib 2b. Since FIGS. 8 and 9 show an embodiment as a jump umbrella, the operation of the skeleton 4 is controlled by the spring material 16 that supports the skeleton 7 and the spring material holding portion 17 that holds the root of the spring material 16. However, the umbrella opens automatically. Fig. 7
In the same manner as shown in (1), the line connecting the dew points 6 becomes horizontal and extends backward by the amount of the additional bone 11 to prevent shoulder wetting.

FIG. 10 shows a usage state of the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella of the present invention. In the conventional umbrella, the dew point 6 is located above the shoulder, but in the shoulder wetting prevention umbrella of the present invention, the umbrella completely covers the shoulder, and even if the umbrella is tilted forward, shoulder wetting does not occur. Further, even when the umbrella is used by being carried on the shoulder, the dew point 6 does not wet the feet.
