Is always urged by the first urging body 95 so as to be moved from the second position to the first position.
Therefore, the slide body 8 takes the first position in a state where all the second protrusions 50B are engaged with the second recesses 50A, respectively, as shown in FIG. 6, and as shown in FIG.
At least one of 0B comes into contact with the peripheral surface 7a of the dial coupler 7 to take the second position.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the acting portion 5A is formed at the end portion of the shutter support portion 32 in the C direction in the figure. On the other hand, the stopper 5B is used for the shutter 3
The cross-sectional dimension t in the direction orthogonal to the sliding direction (CD direction in the drawing) is set to a predetermined value, and the shutter support 32 has a linear shape having a groove width equal to or slightly larger than the cross-sectional dimension t. Groove portion (stopper groove) 33 is formed. The action portion 5A is provided as a wall portion of the stopper groove 33 and extends in the sliding direction of the shutter 3.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the stopper 5B is positioned from the path through which all parts of the shutter 3 pass when the shutter 3 slides when the slide body 8 takes the first position. It is configured to be displaced. Further, the stopper 5B is provided for the shutter 3 when the slide body 8 takes the second position.
Is configured so as to be disposed on a path through which the shutter 3 slides when the shutter 3 slides.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the stopper 5B is formed in a flat plate shape so as to extend downward from the slide body 8 and extends from the stopper window 99 provided in the partition plate 9. It protrudes and its tip is located below the uppermost portion of the action portion 5A. This stopper 5B
Has a predetermined thickness (that is, the cross-sectional dimension t), and as shown in FIGS.
Has a predetermined length in the sliding direction (AB direction in the figure) of the linearly extending. Such a stopper 5B
Are formed integrally with the slide body 8, and when the slide body 8 takes the second position, as shown in FIG. 3, the slide body 8 is arranged linearly in the sliding direction of the shutter 3 with respect to the action portion 5A. It is arranged. Further, at this time, the shutter 3 is arranged so as to take the closed position. Therefore, when the slide body 8 takes the second position, the action portion 5
By contacting the edge of A with the edge of the stopper 5B,
The sliding movement of the shutter 3 from the closed position to the open position is restricted. On the other hand, when the slide body 8 takes the first position, the stoppers 5B are arranged linearly in the sliding direction of the shutter 3 with respect to the stopper groove 33 of the shutter 3, as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the slide body 8 takes the first position, the stopper 5B relatively passes while engaging with the stopper groove 33, so that the slide movement of the shutter 3 is allowed.

The stopper groove 33 has a function of restricting the sliding movement of the slide body 8 from the first position to the second position when the shutter 3 takes the open position (slide body movement restricting function). It is a part. Stopper groove 3
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the length of the shutter 3 in the sliding movement direction of the shutter 3 (and the stopper 5B) is such that at least a part of the stopper 5B engages with the stopper groove 33 when the shutter 3 takes the open position. It is defined that the stopper 5B is kept in the closed state and the stopper 5B is not engaged with the stopper groove 33 when the shutter 3 takes the closed position. Therefore, when the shutter 3 takes the open position, the slide body 8 is restricted from sliding from the first position to the second position by the flat portion of the stopper 5B coming into contact with the flat portion of the action portion 5A. On the other hand, when the shutter 3 is in the closed position, the slide body 8 is allowed to slide by avoiding contact between the flat surface portion of the stopper 5B and the flat surface portion of the action portion 5A.

In this way, when the sliding movement of the slide body 8 from the first position to the second position is restricted, the dial coupler 7 has the first recess 50A and the second projection 50B of the slide body 8. The mutual engagement state with is maintained, the holding state is established, and its rotation is restricted. on the other hand,
When the sliding movement of the slide body 8 is not regulated, the dial coupler 7 can release the mutual engagement state between the first concave portion 50A and the second protrusion 50B of the slide body 8, so that the rotation thereof is allowed. To be done.

In the umbrella holding device 1, the mechanism for opening and closing the opening 21a of the umbrella receiving portion 21 (that is, the shutter 3 and the knob portion 4) preferably has the following configuration. Has become a feature of.

That is, the knob portion 4 has the shutter 3
And the shutter 3 is pressed from the open position to the closed position when it is slid in one direction, and is not pressed when it is slid in the opposite direction. Has been done. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, in the knob portion 4, all surfaces (intersection surfaces) of the knob support portion 42 that intersect with the sliding direction of the shutter 3 are the umbrella receiving portion 21 with respect to the shutter 3. It is configured to be located on the opposite side of. Accordingly, even if the knob portion 4 is moved in the B direction in the drawing, the shutter 3 is not pressed by the knob portion 4, and the knob portion 4 can be moved independently in the B direction in the drawing.

At least one of the intersecting surfaces is a pressing surface 42b for pressing the shutter 3 in one direction (direction A in FIG. 3). The pressing surface 42b is formed so as to be orthogonal to the sliding direction of the shutter 3, and is provided so as to face the end surface 32b of the shutter supporting portion 32 opposite to the umbrella receiving portion 21. Therefore, when the knob portion 4 is moved in the direction A in the figure, the pressing surface 42b presses the end surface 32b of the shutter support portion 32, which moves the shutter 3 from the open position to the closed position. To be

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a coil spring 35 is provided between the shutter support portion 32 and the wall portion 2Ad that borders the umbrella receiving portion 21 of the body 2 (lower body 2A). Therefore, the shutter 3 is always biased in the direction of moving from the closed position to the open position.

Next, the operation of the umbrella holding device 1 will be described.

When the shutter 3 is in the open position, the opening portion 21a of the umbrella receiving portion 21 is opened, so that the user of the umbrella holding device 1 can hold the umbrella receiving portion 21 from the front surface of the body 2. The handle 1 of the umbrella 1A with the umbrella 1A standing upright.
A'can be inserted. At this time, the handle 1 of the umbrella 1A
By hooking the hook portion of A ′ on the body 2 (see FIG. 2), the umbrella 1A can be maintained in a standing state.

In this state, inside the umbrella holding device 1, as shown in FIG. 6, the first recess 50A and the second projection 50B are engaged with each other, whereby the slide body 8 is at the first position. Is taking. Also, the stopper 5B
5, is partially engaged with the stopper groove 33 of the shutter 3. As a result, the movement of the slide body 8 from the first position to the second position is restricted, and the engagement state between the first recess 50A and the second protrusion 50B is maintained, so that each dial coupler 7 is , The rotation is restricted and is in a holding state.

At this time, the engagement protrusion 60 and the engagement recess 70 provided between the dial 6 and the dial coupler 7 are
Although engaged with each other, when the dials 6 are rotated, the dial coupler 7 separates from the dial 6 against the urging force of the second urging body 92, so that the mutual engagement state is released. To be done. Therefore, the dial coupler 7 and the dial 6 rotate relative to each other, and the positional relationship between the first concave portion 50A provided in the dial coupler 7 and the number written on the dial 6 can be changed. Here, the number sequence formed by aligning the numbers on the dials with the markers 52 on the body 2 becomes the unlocked number sequence, which can be set arbitrarily.

Then, when the knob body 41 is pinched and operated to move the knob portion 4 in the direction A in the drawing, the pressing surface 42b of the knob supporting portion 42 is an end portion (end surface 32b) of the shutter supporting portion 32. Press. At this time, the stopper 5B
The shutter 3 is slidably moved from the open position to the closed position against the biasing force of the coil spring 35 by engaging with the stopper groove 33 and relatively passing therethrough. By inserting the tip end portion 31b of 31 into the shutter receiving portion 22b, the umbrella receiving portion 2
The open position 21a of No. 1 is fully closed.

In this state, inside the umbrella holding device 1, as shown by the broken line in FIG. 4, the stopper groove 33 is arranged at a position where the engagement state with the stopper 5B is released. . As a result, the slider body 8 becomes movable from the first position to the second position. This allows each dial coupler 7 to rotate,
Mutual engagement between the engagement protrusion 60 and the engagement recess 70 enables rotation in synchronization with each dial 6. Therefore, the positional relationship between the first recess 50A and the number written on each dial 6 cannot be changed. That is, the umbrella holding device 1
Indicates that the set unlocking number sequence can be stored.

Next, in this state, if at least one of the two dials 6 is rotated while the knob body 41 of the knob portion 4 is held, the dial 6 is rotated.
In the dial coupler 7 corresponding to, the second protrusion 50B rides on the peripheral surface 7a of the dial coupler 7 as shown in FIG. As a result, the dial coupler 7 rotates in synchronization with the dial 6, and the set unlocking number sequence is stored. At the same time, the second protrusion 50B comes into contact with the peripheral surface 7a of the dial coupler 7, so that the slide body 8 takes the second position. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, the stopper 5B and the action portion 5A of the shutter 3 are aligned on the same straight line, so that the edge of the action portion 5A abuts against the edge of the stopper 5B, and the closed position of the shutter 3 is reached. The sliding movement from the to the open position is restricted, and the umbrella holding device 1 is locked. That is, in the umbrella holding device 1, the handle 1A 'of the umbrella 1A cannot be taken out from the umbrella receiving portion 21.

Here, in the umbrella holding device 1, as described above, all the surfaces (intersection surfaces) of the knob portion 4 that intersect the sliding direction of the shutter 3 are opposite to the shutter 3 in the umbrella receiving portion 21. Since the knob portion 4 is located on the side, when the knob portion 4 is to be moved in the B direction in the drawing, the knob portion 4 is moved independently and the pressing force is applied to the shutter 3. Does not work. That is, even if a relatively large force is applied to the knob portion 4 in the B direction in the figure, it is possible to prevent the stopper 5B from pressing the acting portion 5A due to this force. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the members constituting the dial lock 5, such as the stopper 5B or the action portion 5A, from being damaged.
As a result, the shutter 3 cannot be forcibly opened in the locked state, so that the umbrella 1A stored in the umbrella holding device 1 can be prevented from being stolen.

Next, when taking out the umbrella 1A from the umbrella holding device 1, if each dial 6 is rotated to form an unlocking number sequence, each first recess 50A and each second protrusion 50B face each other. The slider body 8 is moved from the second position to the first position by the biasing force of the first biasing body 95 so that the first recesses 50A and the second protrusions 50B engage with each other. Therefore, since the stopper 5B and the stopper groove 33 are aligned on the same straight line, the shutter 3 can be moved from the closed position to the open position.

At this time, the shutter 3 has the coil spring 35.
As a result, since the stopper 5B and the stopper groove 33 are urged in the direction of moving from the closed position to the open position at all times, they can be automatically moved to the open position.
Therefore, the handle 1A 'of the umbrella 1A can be taken out from the umbrella receiving portion 21.

Of course, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and all design changes within the scope of the matters described in the claims are included in the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the absolute positions of the first position and the second position on the slide body 8 are defined by the depth of the first recess 50A with respect to the peripheral surface 7a of the dial coupler 7, but in particular, The first position of the slide body 8 is defined by the contact between the bottom portion of the cutout groove 81 formed in the end portion 8a of the slide body 8 and the tip end surface of the guide plate 93 formed in the lower body 2A. You can also With this, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the contact surface between the second protrusion 50B and the dial coupler 7 may be worn by the rotation of the dial coupler 7, the more the umbrella holding device 1 is used, the more absolute the first position and the second position are. The position may deviate in the D direction in the drawing from the absolute position specified at the time of manufacturing, and particularly when the first position of the slide body 8 is displaced in the D direction in the drawing, the stopper 5B and the stopper groove Since it may not be possible to align 33 and 33 in a straight line, it may not be possible to open the shutter 3 even in the unlocked state. However, if the above is done, this can be prevented. it can.

In the present invention, the structure of the dial lock is as follows.
It is not limited to the dial lock 5 in the above-mentioned embodiment.
