2. Description of the Related Art In conventional rain umbrellas, parasols, and other umbrellas, it is necessary to hold the umbrella by either the upper or left upper limb, so it is not possible to work with both upper limbs at the same time while using the umbrella. could not. Therefore, in work under hot weather,
While parasols can significantly reduce physical pain and fatigue, conventional umbrellas have not been able to do so. Further, even when using an umbrella for a long time, it is necessary to hold the umbrella, so that not only can work not be performed sufficiently during this time, but also the upper arms, wrists, fingers and the like are often fatigued.
Such fatigue and physical distress have been a problem when using the umbrella for a long time. There was a particular problem for people with disabilities in the upper limbs and other parts.

In order to solve these problems, various ideas have been devised for the umbrella for wearing on the body. For example, as a special auxiliary equipment for fixing the umbrella to the body, which is seen in the actual Kaihei 6-17516,
Similarly, there are JP-A Nos. 11-318528 and the like, but all of them are not practically effective as in the device of the published utility model publication No. 2-136518.

Further, the conventional technique for an umbrella characterized by having two shafts according to the present invention is disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-530.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and by constructing an umbrella with two juxtaposed shafts, the body of the user can be easily and surely. The umbrella attached to the body can be faithfully attached to the user's exercise without being detached from the user's body even when the user freely moves. In addition, since the user's upper limbs are free, it is possible to work for a long time even in a harsh environment under the scorching sun, so that work such as traffic control (Fig. 3) can prevent direct sunlight and harmful ultraviolet rays. Become. The user can alleviate the harsh working environment under the hot weather such as intense heat, and is released from the humid and uncomfortable environment where the worker wears rain wing when the weather is hot and humid and the bracelet is light and reliable. It is to provide rain umbrellas, parasols and other umbrellas.

[0006]

The umbrella (FIG. 1) of the present invention is characterized in that the conventional umbrella is composed of one shaft, but is composed of two right and left juxtaposed. By using two left and right shafts, it is possible to comfortably accompany the user's physical exercise with the umbrella that receives a constant external force and a complicated load accompanying the user's long-term exercise. , Shoulder cover 1 on the left and right shafts located on the user's shoulder

In addition, an umbrella holder is provided on the two shafts at a portion corresponding to the waist of the user's body, and a belt-shaped portion 17 that is fixed to the waist of the user is also held, so that the body is securely attached to the body. The umbrella can be attached to the natural movement of the user even when the user makes complicated movements. An umbrella that solves the above problems by having two shafts, having a shoulder bag for fixing on a shoulder portion, and having a holding tool on a waist portion is a feature.

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cloth or a film that constitutes an umbrella, which is an umbrella held by a frame, and is made of a material having characteristics suitable for each purpose of use, which prevents rain, sunlight, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, and the like.

Reference numeral 9 in each drawing is a shaft of the umbrella for holding the parts constituting the umbrella. By using a plurality of shafts of the umbrella, the umbrella portion can be easily worn on the body and can be surely attached to the movement of the body. Therefore, with the umbrella held, the upper limbs can be freely moved and worked mainly while standing. It is possible to walk while holding an object with the upper limbs while using the umbrella of the present invention, or to work on the sand in rainy weather or with both hands under hot weather while using the umbrella of the present invention.

A device having two columns is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-126.
As shown in 512, it is composed of a structure made of pipes and a sheet for the rain and awnings, and it is a device that can be disassembled and assembled. Compared with claim 1 of the present invention, a large difference in appearance is recognized in the same device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-126512). Although the present invention clearly has two shafts of the umbrella, it is another tent shape which cannot be called a conventional umbrella at all in JP-A-8-126512. Further, although the same device has a disassembling and assembling function, the present invention can be realized by folding the same effect and function as in the conventional case.

In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6, pin holes 7 are provided in the flange 6 on the lower lathe attached to the two shafts, and the left and right connecting rods (FIG. 4) 8 joined by the pins are similarly pinned. They are joined by the connector 10 joined by. By pulling the handle 11 fixed to this connector toward you, it can be folded like a conventional umbrella, and by pushing out the handle, the umbrella can be expanded. The present invention does not need to repeat complicated disassembly and assembly each time it is used, as compared with Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-126512, and can be easily folded like a conventional umbrella. Further, compared with the present invention, it is conceivable that the same device (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-126512) has a complicated structure, a large weight, and a heavy physical burden on the user.

[0012] In addition, the actual climbing 3034789 is a device consisting of a backpack type holding tool and two handles coming out from this,
The handle is supposed to be attached to the small bones of the umbrella with screws. With this structure, stress concentrates on the small bones of the attachment part, and it is considered to be unsuitable for practical use. This device is also a device that can be disassembled and assembled, but the structure in which the screws attached to the ends of the two columns are rotated to assemble each time it is used is inconvenient for the user. In that respect, the present invention can easily fold the same effect by pulling the handle 11 attached to the connector 10 of the joint portion connecting the two shafts. On the other hand, by pushing the handle open, it can be deployed like a conventional umbrella.

Numerals 15 and 16 in FIG. 7 are shoulder holders which are hung on the left and right shoulders of the two shafts. The shoulder holder is made of synthetic resin and is composed of 15 parts fitted and attached to the left and right shafts of the umbrella and a hook-shaped part 16 for transmitting the weight of the umbrella to the shoulder. If necessary, attach a belt to the tip of the hook and connect it with a detachable metal fitting attached to the end of the belt to rotate the left and right shoulders, making it possible to connect more securely on the chest.
A structure as shown in the figure is also possible.

The hook-like portion of the shoulder-holding portion is made of a plastic structure having a sufficient resistance so that the weight of the umbrella can be easily supported. The mechanism is such that it can slide in the axial direction so that the position can be adjusted. Since the weight of the umbrella is supported by the left and right shoulders via the shoulder holders attached to these two shafts, compared to the conventional one-handed support, fatigue is significantly reduced, and it can be used for long hours of work or exercise. Can bear. Fifth
The circular object 14 at the top of FIG. 15 is a button used when opening the umbrella. By pushing this button, the stopper in the shaft is pushed down, the connector 10 is raised by the force of the spring, and the umbrella is opened.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a waist holding tool for fixing two shafts at the waist with belts for holding the umbrella. With the holding device and the waist holding device, the umbrella of the present invention is equipped with the body of the user, so that no matter how the body of the user moves, the umbrella is attached to the movement of the user's body. can do. Therefore, it is completely separated from the necessity of holding the umbrella on both upper and lower limbs of the user, and can be used freely and can be engaged in long-term work. Compared with the conventional work using an umbrella, the work ability and athletic ability of the user are significantly improved.

FIG. 2 shows the umbrella of the present invention folded. The folded volume is almost the same as that of the conventional umbrella and does not become particularly large.

FIG. 6 is a view of a connector 10 in which two shafts are joined. The connection of the left and right umbrellas has sufficient strength and freedom with two steel ossicles 19 joined by wire to the upper wheel fixed to the left and right shafts as shown in the lower part of FIG. 8B. However, the metal ring 20 is surely connected so as to be bent. Similarly, the two small bones 21 coming out from the lower lathes attached to the left and right shafts are also joined by a hollow pin made of a metallic annular material.

The left and right umbrellas are joined by a plastic connecting rod 8 which is joined so that it can be bent with sufficient strength from the flanges attached to the left and right lower lathes, and a plastic connector 10 which is joined together. There is.
Other than this, the left and right shafts are joined by a cloth or a film-like sheet forming an umbrella, and the shape viewed from above has a shape as shown in the upper part of FIG. That is, the left and right umbrellas are joined by the small bones made of steel, the connecting rod made of plastic, the connector 10, and the cloth forming the umbrella.

When the connector 10 is folded, the connecting rod is covered with a plastic cover. This cover has a handle 11 that is used when folding and unfolding.
Is attached. When deploying, hold this handle and push it out in the direction of the two axes to allow the umbrella to deploy, and when the umbrella has fully deployed by the force of the spring, it will be attached to the two axes. The umbrella can be stopped by hitting the potter's wheel and the umbrella can be maintained in its deployed state. You can fold the umbrella by pulling the knob of the handle against the force of the spring.

[Effects of the Invention] 1) Working outdoors with only conventional helmets and hats causes an increase in body temperature, such as when the temperature is high such as in summer, and this alone causes considerable fatigue. Further, it is considered that the body is adversely affected by the influence of ultraviolet rays. People engaged in traffic control, which requires long hours of work outdoors, were exposed to the heat and ultraviolet rays of direct sunlight. Standing on the road in the scorching sun with only a hat and a helmet and doing traffic control for a long time was a work with great physical pain. By using the parasol which is worn on the body of the present invention, it is possible to prevent flame heat and ultraviolet rays to a considerable extent, which facilitates long-time work and exercise.

2) Since it is not a rain tool that wraps the body even in the case of rain, the body does not get damp and comfortable work can be continued even in high-humidity weather. Since the ventilation is good, the physiological temperature decrease due to sweating can be performed effectively without any difficulty. By using the umbrella of the present invention in rainy weather, it is possible to comfortably work in rainy weather under high temperature without deterioration of visibility like a raincoat.
