Description

  The present invention relates to a foldable umbrella that can be folded into a flat shape, and more particularly to an effective one when applied to a three-fold foldable umbrella.

  5 and 6 show a configuration example of a conventional three-fold folding umbrella. First, as shown in FIG. 5, this type of folding umbrella includes an upper croquet 21 'fixed to the upper part of the telescopic middle rod 10' and a foldable master bone pivotally supported by the upper crochet 21 '. 40 ', a lower rocker 22' slidably guided by the middle rod 10 below the upper rocker 21 ', and a receiving bone 44 pivotally supported by the lower rocker 22' to support the parent bone 40 '. In the opened state, the main bone 40 ′ and the receiving bone 44 expand radially, while in the closed state, the parent bone 40 ′ is folded and the parent bone 40 ′ and the receiving bone 44 are 10 is converged substantially in parallel with 10.

  The middle rod 10 'is a telescopic type made up of a nested split pipe, and a tip 11 is attached to the tip (upper end) and a hand 12 is attached to the base end (lower end). Further, a repellent 13 for releasably locking the lower roller 22 'is provided at an intermediate portion near the tip (upper end).

  The master bone 40 ′ is formed into a three-fold type including an original master bone (also called a long bone) 41, a middle master bone 42, and a tip parent bone 43. A lower continuous rod (also referred to as a holding rod) 45 is connected to the receiving bone 44. The lower link 45, together with the original master bone 41 and the middle master bone 42, form a link mechanism that flexes and stretches the master bone 40 'in conjunction with the vertical movement of the lower roller 22'.

  A wire spring (also called a straight line for spring) 47 is bridged between the original parent bone 41 and the previous parent bone 43. The intermediate portion of the wire spring 47 is slidably locked to the intermediate portion of the middle master bone 42, so that a spring action (elastic function) is given to the bending and extending operation of the master bone 40 '.

  The original master bone 41 and the middle master bone 42 are configured using a metal (steel or aluminum alloy) member having a U-shaped cross section. The portion of the wire spring 47 that is movably locked to the middle master bone 42 is formed by bending an extending piece 421 that is integrally formed with the middle master bone 42 as shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG.

  In FIG. 5, reference numeral 51 denotes a protruding portion or extending portion called a dowel, and this dowel 51 is provided to form a rotatable connecting portion.

  FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b) show the main parts of the upper and lower rockers 21 'and 22', respectively. Longitudinal groove portions 52a and 52b which are formed by a boss portion and are directed in the radial direction with respect to the center rod 10 are disposed at equiangular intervals (60 ° intervals in the illustrated example).

  FIGS. 6 (c) and (d) are diagrams showing the relative positional relationship between the upper and lower lokuro of the conventional folding umbrella and the umbrella bone in the opened state and the closed state, respectively. As shown in d), the upper rocker 21 'and the lower rocker 22' are each provided with an annular pivot wire (one-turn wire) 54 that goes around the longitudinal groove portions 52a and 52b, The annular pivot wire 54 forms a common pivot that collectively pivots the original parent bone 41 and the receiving bone 44 in the longitudinal groove portion 32. As a result, in the opened state, as shown in (c), the main bone 41 and the receiving bone 44 expand radially, while in the closed state, as shown in (d), the main bone 41 and the receiving bone 44 are in the upper position. It is converged in a circle arrangement state around the rokuro 21 'and the lower rokuro 22'. In this case, although not shown in the figure, the three-fold type main bone 40 ′ is placed around the upper roll 21 ′ and the lower roll 22 ′ in a state where the original main bone 41, the middle main bone 42, and the front parent bone 44 are folded. Converged.

  About the structure of the folding umbrella mentioned above, the principal part is described, for example in the patent document 1 shown below.

  In such a conventional folding umbrella, when the umbrella is folded, the main bone 40 'and the receiving bone 44 are converged in a circular arrangement around the upper rock 21' and the lower rock 22 '. The master bone 40 ′ is converged in a state where the original master bone 41, the middle master bone 42, and the tip parent bone 44 are folded. At the same time, an umbrella cloth (not shown) is folded around the upper roll 21 'and the lower roll 22' together with the main bone 40 '.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the folded state is a round shape that is thick and rounded into a cylindrical shape. Inconveniences such as forming a useless thickness space, unnecessarily inflating the bag, or locally pressing other contents in the bag are likely to occur. In addition, there is an inconvenience that it cannot be accommodated in a thin case.

  As a solution to such a problem, a flat folding umbrella shown in Patent Document 2 has been proposed. In the folding umbrella according to Patent Document 2, the upper lokuro and the lower lokuro are formed as a relatively flat block body elongated in the left and right, and the upper lokuro is provided with a shaft support piece protruding outward at the left and right ends thereof, The inner ends of the left and right master bones are pivotally supported on the pivot support piece, while the inner ends of the side master bones between the left and right master bones are collectively pivotally supported by wires inside the pivot support piece. Further, in the lower lokuro, a shaft support piece projecting outward is provided at the left and right ends, and the inner ends of the left and right receiving bones are respectively supported on the shaft supporting piece, and between the left and right receiving bones. The inner ends of the side receiving bones are collectively pivotally supported by wires inside the pivotal support piece.

Also, a side-thickness reducing means having a substantially H-shaped plane is provided below the upper loft so that when the umbrella is folded, the side main bone passes through the guide inclined surface of the side-thickness reducing means and enters the left and right grooves. It guides the parent bone to be folded flat as it enters.
JP-A-9-84617 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-14630

  However, in the folding umbrella of Patent Document 2, the side thickness reducing means for guiding the main bone so as to be folded flat when the umbrella bone is folded is provided on the lower surface of the upper loft, while the side main bone is reduced in the side thickness. Collectively supported by wires above the means. Therefore, at the time of starting folding of the main bone, the lower surface of the main bone is not in contact with the guide inclined surface of the side thickness reducing means, but is guided in contact with the guide surface from the middle of the folding, and then accommodated in the left and right concave portions. Therefore, smooth guidance for flat folding of the parent bone cannot be performed.

  Further, in the folding umbrella of Patent Document 2, the side thickness reducing means is provided only on the lower surface of the upper rocker, and is not provided on the lower rocker, so the receiving bone cannot be guided in the flat folding direction simultaneously with the parent bone. As a whole, there was a problem that the flat folding of the umbrella bone could not be smoothly guided.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems. The object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella bone by reliably guiding both the upper bone and the lower bone at the same time in the direction in which the parent bone and the receiving bone are folded flat. The present invention provides a folding umbrella that can be smoothly folded flat.

The means of the present invention is a folding umbrella characterized by comprising the following means (1).

In addition, a first vertical groove is formed at the left and right ends of the left and right wings, and a first through hole is formed at a position intersecting with the first vertical groove of each lokuro and the first through hole. A second through hole is formed at a more central position. The main bones located on the left and right sides of the groove are individually pivotally supported by a support shaft member provided in the first through hole, and the other main bones are collectively pivoted by an annular support shaft wire passing through the second through hole. In the lower lokuro, the ribs located on the left and right in the first longitudinal groove are individually pivotally supported by a pivot member provided in the first through hole, and the other ribs are passed through the second penetration. Pivotally supported by an annular support wire that passes through the hole, forming a relatively shallow second vertical groove between the front and rear surfaces of the flat block body of each lokuro and the wing part, An inner end of the other master bone is located in the second longitudinal groove of the upper loft, and an inner end of the other receiving bone is located in the second longitudinal groove of the lower loft, and the upper and lower The second through hole is formed adjacent to the second vertical groove of the rock, and the other parent is closed when closing the umbrella. And the other end of the other ribs are accommodated in the second longitudinal grooves of the upper and lower crocodiles so as to be parallel to the center rod, respectively. Tatami umbrella.

In the above means, addition or combination of the following means is particularly effective.
(2) The center rod is formed in a flat cross-sectional shape, and the upper and lower pockets into which the center rod is inserted are each formed in a flat and long shape whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction.

  In the present invention, a relatively shallow second vertical groove is formed between the front and back surfaces of the flat block body of the upper and lower rockers and the wings, and the left and right master bones are formed in the second vertical groove of the upper rocker. Since the inner end of the other main bone located between the left and right ribs is located in the second longitudinal groove of the lower lokuro, When folding, the inner end portion of the other main bone is in parallel with the center rod in the second longitudinal groove while slidingly contacting the corner portion of the outer inner surface defining the second longitudinal groove of the upper rocker. And the inner end of the other rib is parallel to the center rod in the second longitudinal groove while sliding in contact with the corner of the outer inner surface defining the second longitudinal groove of the lower rocker. Since the umbrella bones of both the main bone and the ribs are guided and folded in the flattening direction simultaneously with the start of the folding operation, the umbrella bones are folded and flattened. And smoothly performed reliably.

Has been. This is because the parent bone 40 is bundled thinly and can be folded.

    The portion of the wire spring 47 that is movably locked to the middle bone 42 is formed by bending a loop portion 471 that wraps around the middle bone 42 in the middle of the wire spring 47 as shown in a partially enlarged view in FIG. It is formed. Thus, the intermediate portion of the wire spring 47 can be freely moved to the intermediate portion of the middle bone 42 without providing a locking portion on the side of the middle bone 42 and without requiring additional parts for locking. Can be stopped.

  Further, in the illustrated embodiment, the lower continuous rod 45 that forms a link mechanism for bending and extending the main bone 40 in conjunction with the vertical movement of the lower rocker 22 is formed of a wire-like thin rod. At the same time, the wire-like lower continuous rod 45 and the original master bone 41 are rotatably connected via a dowel member 46. Thereby, the main bone 40 can be further bundled and folded.

  In the figure, reference numeral 51 denotes a protruding portion or extending portion called a dowel, and this dowel 51 is provided to form a rotatable connecting portion.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), a boss portion 30a that pivotally supports the main bones 41, 41a is formed on the upper rocker 21, and a cylindrical portion (sleeve) 23 is integrally formed under the boss portion 30a. Has been. In addition, a boss portion 30b that pivotally supports the receiving bones 44 and 44a is formed on the lower roller 22, and a cylindrical portion (sleeve) 24 is integrally formed on the boss portion 30b. Both cylinder parts 23 and 24 are formed so as to be slidably fitted in a state where the lower roller 22 is pushed up to a position where it is lowered and locked by the repellent 13 (see FIG. 1). A clue cylinder portion 25 for moving the lower pocket 22 is integrally formed on the lower side of the lower block 22. The lower end of the clue tube portion 25 is locked by the repellent 13.

  As shown in the perspective view inclined in FIG. 2B, the boss portion 30a of the upper block 21 is a flat rectangular shape that protrudes left and right from the middle position between the front and rear surfaces 31a and 31a of the substantially flat rectangular block body. Wings 33a, 33a. Deep first vertical grooves 34a, 34a are formed at the left and right ends of both wing portions 33a, 33a. Also, first through holes 35a and 35a are formed in the vicinity of the tips of both wings at positions intersecting the first vertical groove. Shallow second vertical grooves 32a and 32a are formed between the flat rectangular block body and the wings protruding left and right, and the second wings are adjacent to the outside of the second vertical grooves. Through-holes 36a, 36a are formed. The wing portions 33a and 33a, the first vertical grooves 34a and 34a, the second vertical grooves 32a and 32a, the first through holes 35a and 35a, and the second through holes 36a and 36a are respectively the vertical centers of the boss portions 30a. It is formed symmetrically with respect to the plane. A flat middle rod guide hole 26 into which the middle rod 10 is inserted is formed in the cylindrical portion 23 below the boss portion.

  As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 2C, the boss portion 30b of the lower block 22 is in the middle of the front and rear surfaces of the rectangular flat block bodies 31b and 31b, like the boss portion 30a of the upper block 21. Flat rectangular wings 33b, 33b projecting left and right from the position, deep first vertical grooves 34b, 34b, shallow second vertical grooves 32b, 32b, first through holes 35b, 35b and second through holes Holes 36b and 36b are provided.

  Further, a middle rod guide hole 27 into which the middle rod 10 having a flat cross section is fitted is formed at the center of the cylindrical portions 24 and 25 integrally formed below the lower roller 22.

  Then, as is clear from the figure showing the relative positional relationship between the upper and lower croquets 21 and 22 and the umbrella bone in the state in which the umbrella of FIG. The upper ends of the main bones 41 located on the left and right of the six main bones are inserted into the grooves 34a and are pivotally supported by pins 37a. Further, in the shallow second vertical groove 32a of the boss portion 30a, the upper ends of the four master bones 41a that are diagonally positioned between the left and right master bones 41 of the six master bones are partially inserted to form an annular shape. The pivot wires 38a are pivotally supported at once.

  On the other hand, in the boss portion 30b of the lower rocker 22, the upper ends of the main bones 44 located on the left and right of the six receiving bones 44 are inserted into the deep first vertical groove 34b, and are pinned by the pins 37b. Each is pivotally supported. Further, in the shallow second vertical groove 32b of the boss portion 30b, the upper ends of the four master bones 44a that are diagonally positioned between the left and right ribs 44 of the six ribs are partially inserted. These are pivotally supported by an annular pivot wire 38b.

  With the above-described configuration, when the main bone 40 and the receiving bone 44 are in the opened state, respectively, as shown in FIG. The outer surface portions of the main bone 41a and the receiving bone 44a located in the second longitudinal grooves 32a and 32b are in contact with the corner portions 32c of the outer inner surface that define the second longitudinal grooves 32a and 32b. On the other hand, in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the parent bone 40 is folded, and a folded state is formed in which the parent bone 40 and the receiving bone 44 are converged substantially parallel to the middle rod 10. .

It is accommodated in the second vertical groove so as to be parallel to the middle rod while being in sliding contact with 32c, and the inner end portion of the rib 44a in the second vertical groove 32b of the lower rocker 22 is in the second vertical groove. Since it is accommodated in the second longitudinal groove so as to be parallel to the center rod while sliding on the corner portion 32c of the outer inner surface that defines the groove, the umbrella bones of both the parent bone and the receiving bone become flat simultaneously. Since it is folded while being guided in the direction, the flattening of the umbrella bone is performed smoothly and reliably.

  In the folded state, as shown in FIG. 3B, the main bone 40 and the receiving bone 44 are converged at positions distributed to the left and right sides of the upper rocker 21 and the upper rocker 22. Accordingly, although not shown, the original parent bone 41, the middle parent bone 42, and the front parent bone 43 that form the parent bone 40 are also converged at positions distributed to the left and right sides of the upper rocker 21 and the upper rocker 22.

While the individual pivots 37a and 37b support each other, the other main bone 41a and the receiving bone 44a can be made by using a common pivot shaft by the annular pivot wires 38a and 38b.

  As described above, in the present invention, the upper and lower lokuros are each formed with the wing portions 33a and 33b protruding left and right from the intermediate positions of the front and rear surfaces 31a and 31b of the flat block body, and the left and right wing portions. First vertical grooves 34a and 34b are formed at the left and right ends of the first and second through holes 35a and 35b at positions intersecting with the first vertical grooves of the respective rockers and from the first through holes. Second through-holes 36a and 36b are formed at the center side position, and in the upper rocker 21, the support shaft member provided in the first through-hole with the main bone 41 positioned on the left and right in the first vertical groove 34a. Individual pivots 37a and the other main bone 41a are collectively pivotally supported by an annular pivot wire 38a that passes through the second through hole 36a, and the lower rocker 22 is positioned left and right in the first vertical groove 34b. The bone 4 Are individually pivotally supported by a support shaft member 37b provided in the first through hole 35b, and the other receiving bone 44a is collectively supported by an annular support shaft wire 38b inserted through the second through hole 36b. Second shallow grooves 32a and 32b that are relatively shallow are formed between the front and rear surfaces of the flat block bodies of the respective rockers 21 and 22 and the wing portions, and the second vertical grooves of the upper rocks are formed. The inner end of the other main bone 41a is located in the inner part 32a, the inner end of the other receiving bone 44a is located in the second longitudinal groove 32b of the lower part, and the second part of the upper and lower parts The second through-holes 36a and 36b are formed adjacent to the longitudinal groove, and the inner end portion of the other main bone 41a and the inner end portion of the other receiving bone 44a are respectively connected to the upper loft when the umbrella is closed. And parallel to the center rod in the second vertical grooves 32a and 32b of the lower roll Since the umbrella bones of both the main bone and the receiving bone are guided and folded in the flattening direction simultaneously with the start of the folding operation, the umbrella bone can be folded and flattened smoothly and reliably. .

  Further, the center rod 10 is formed in a flat cross-sectional shape, and the upper and lower pockets 21 and 22 through which the center rod 10 passes are each formed in a long shape whose longitudinal direction is the left-right direction. It is very effective in further promoting the thinning.

  As described above, the present invention has been described based on the typical embodiments. However, the present invention can have various modes other than those described above. For example, the main bone 40 may be other than the three-fold type.
