Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in the handle of an umbrella. More specifically, even when stored in a storage device such as a bag, the present invention does not get entangled (tangled) with other items in the storage device, and The present invention relates to an umbrella handle that can be hung on a looped member such as a hand.

  On cloudy and rainy days, many people usually carry their umbrellas so that they can use them at any time.

  To make it easier to carry the umbrella, especially with small folding umbrellas, a hanging strap is attached to the grip handle, which is usually closed so that it can be hung with a finger. It is formed in a loop shape.

  When carrying an umbrella, one hand is usually blocked by the umbrella. For this reason, when it is necessary to use both hands, for example, when holding an infant or picking up an item while shopping, an umbrella held in the hand is often in the way and bothered by the handling.

  Therefore, when an umbrella that has been closed or folded is not used, it is routinely put in a hand-held bag or the like or hung outside a bag or other belongings. By doing so, both hands are free and can be used freely. Also, when the umbrella is wet, the umbrella is usually hung outside the bag so as not to wet the items in the bag.

  However, when trying to take out a pocket-sized or mini-size umbrella having a hanging strap as described above from belongings such as a bag, the loop portion of the hanging strap is easily entangled with surrounding small items such as cosmetics in a handbag. , Often bother the user and cause inconvenience.

  When you are at home, it is easy to hang an umbrella and store it by hooking the loop part of the above hanging strap onto a hook that is attached to the wall and has an open top, or a branch bar of a hat or jacket. is there. However, such hooks are not always provided in public places. Therefore, there are many cases where a person carrying an umbrella cannot find a convenient item for hanging the umbrella. Furthermore, since an umbrella suspension string usually has a closed loop shape, it is suspended by hanging it on a member that is also closed in a loop shape, such as a handbag carrying hand or an arched armrest of a chair. It is impossible.

  Therefore, even if the user of the umbrella stores the umbrella in a storage device such as a handbag that is carried around, the umbrella does not get tangled with other items in the handbag, and the umbrella can be used as needed. It would be desirable to provide a convenient means that can also be suspended from a closed member.

  The following Patent Document 1 (US Pat. No. 4,616,868) discloses an umbrella grip having a looped knot. However, this umbrella handle does not have means for drawing the knot into the grip handle or winding it around the handle handle when the umbrella is not used. Therefore, when the umbrella is stored in a handbag when it is not in use, the looped knot that protrudes from the outside of the grip handle tends to get entangled with surrounding accessories, causing trouble when taking out the umbrella from the handbag. Prone to occur. Furthermore, since this loop-shaped knot forms a closed loop and cannot be opened at will, this closed loop-shaped knot can be used when the umbrella is not in use. Utilizing it, it is impossible to suspend an umbrella on a closed member (for example, as described above, a handbag litter or an arched armrest of a chair).

  Patent Document 2 (U.S. Pat. No. 4,632,137) discloses an umbrella grip having a hard retaining ring. When the umbrella is not used, the retaining ring can be prevented from being entangled with other articles by being fitted and fixed in a groove formed on the handle. However, since this holding ring is also a closed member, it is impossible to suspend the umbrella by hooking it on another closed member.

  Furthermore, the following patent document 3 (US Pat. No. 4,624,276) discloses an umbrella grip having a knot. When the umbrella is not used, the tie is wrapped around an annular groove formed on the outer periphery of the grip handle so that it can be prevented from being entangled with other articles. However, since this tie is also closed at both ends, it is impossible to suspend the umbrella by hooking it on another closed member.

A pattern of an umbrella that is configured such that when the umbrella is stored in a handbag or the like, the hanging strap does not get entangled with other articles is shown. As shown in the drawing, the umbrella handle that does not get entangled according to the present invention is roughly composed of a grip handle 1, a hook 2, and a stretchable hanging strap 3.

  The handle 1 is attached to one end of an umbrella shaft that is not shown in the drawing, and constitutes a part of the umbrella. Since the present invention relates to an umbrella grip handle and its hanging strap, the description of other components in the present specification is omitted.

  Although not specifically described, the umbrella grip handle and its hanging strap according to the present invention can be applied to various types of umbrellas, such as folding umbrellas, non-folding umbrellas, self-opening umbrellas, manual opening and closing. Widely applicable to umbrellas, etc.

  The handle 1 according to the first embodiment is formed in a cylindrical shape that can be widely used for folding umbrellas. However, the handle 1 according to the present invention is not limited to such a shape, and may be a rectangular shape or any other shape.

  The outer peripheral surface of the handle 1 is formed as a cylindrical side wall 11, and a through hole 12 is opened so as to penetrate the side wall 11. At least one annular groove 13 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 11 of the handle 1. In the illustrated first embodiment, two annular grooves, that is, first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b are formed coaxially in parallel along the outer peripheral surface, and a boundary ridge is formed between both grooves. 14 is formed. The at least one annular groove 13 has a start end 15 and a termination end 16. The start end 15 communicates with the through-hole 12, and the end end 16 is in contact with the start end 15 or separated from the start end 15. In the first embodiment of the grip handle shown, the end 16 is separated from the start 15. That is, the annular groove 13 or the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b do not extend over the entire circumference of the handle 1 but are interrupted between the terminal end and the starting end as shown in the figure. The end 16 of the annular groove 13 or the first and second annular grooves 13 a, 13 b is preferably formed as a recess 17 in the side wall 11. That is, the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b desirably have a terminal end 16 as a common concave portion 17, and the concave portion 17 is provided with the hook 2. The hook 2 has an outer surface that is curved in the same manner as the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 11, and the handle 2 is formed so that the handle 1 has a smooth outer shape without protruding from the side wall 11 in the radial direction.

  As described above, the hook 2 is provided at the position of the recess 17 in the end groove 16 portion of the annular groove 13 or the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b on the handle 1. The hook 2 may be formed integrally with the handle 1, or may be formed separately using a fixing means such as a screw, or using an adhesive ( Neither of them is shown), and they may be fixed. The hook 2 is used to lock the folded portion 37 of the stretchable strap 3 to the hook 2. In order to prevent the elastic hanging strap 3 from falling off the hook 2 easily, the hook 2 is close to the lower end of the hook 2 in the state shown in FIG. A claw 21 that protrudes toward the grip 1 is formed on the inner surface side. As a result, the folded portion 37 of the elastic hanging strap 3 smoothly slides into the hook 2 through the gap between the claw 21 and the side surface 11 of the grip 1 and does not easily come off the hook 2. . The lower end portion of the hook 2, that is, the portion of the claw 21 has a slight flexibility, and is elastically deformed and can be slightly displaced when the elastic hanging strap 3 enters and exits the hook. .

  The elastic hanging strap 3 is connected to the grip 1 at the inner end 31 thereof. In the illustrated first embodiment, the outer end 32 of the hanging strap 3 is pulled out from the inside of the handle 1 to the outside through the through hole 12, and a stopper 33 attached to the inner end of the hanging strap 3 has an outer diameter thereof. Also, the inner end portion 31 of the hanging strap 3 stops inside the grip handle 1 by being blocked by the small-diameter through-hole 12, and the elastic hanging strap 3 is attached to the grip handle 1. The outer end portion 32 of the elastic hanging strap 3 drawn out to the outside of the handle 1 forms a loop portion 34. The loop portion 34 is formed of first and second half-loop portions 35 and 36 and a folded portion 37 that integrally connects them.

  In order to fix the stretchable strap 3 more firmly to the handle 1, a washer 4 is provided at the position of the through hole 12 inside the side wall 11 of the handle 1, and the stretchable strap 3 is attached to the handle 1. It is desirable that the washer 4 is first passed through and then the through-hole 12 is passed through when being pulled out from the inside of the casing.

Before that, the user first holds the first and second half loop portions 35 and 36 of the loop portion 34 of the stretchable suspension strap 3 around the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b of the handle 1. The folded portion 37 is securely hooked on the hook 2. As a result, the loop portion 34 of the stretchable hanging strap 3 that has jumped out of the handle 1 is tightly wrapped around the handle 1, thereby causing the stretchable strap 3 to be entangled with an article in the handbag. Absent. At this time, the boundary ridge 14 between the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b causes the first and second half-loop portions 35 and 36 of the elastic hanging strap 13 to be in the annular grooves 13a and 13b, respectively. Thus, the first and second half-loop portions 35 and 36 are wound around the grip handle 1 without crossing each other, and thereby the outer peripheral surface of the handle handle 1 is made as much as possible. It can be kept smooth.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the side wall 11 opposite to the side on which the through hole 12 of the handle 1 is opened, a finger contact recess 18 extending in a direction crossing the first and second annular grooves 13a and 13b is formed. Yes. The finger contact recess 18 is formed so as to have both ends in the direction crossing the annular grooves 13a and 13b, that is, in the axial direction, that is, to have a predetermined length in the axial direction. When using the umbrella, when the user wishes to remove the elastic hanging strap 3 wound around the grip handle 1, the user applies a finger to the finger rest recess 18 and pushes the elastic hanging strap 3 to move the ring. It can be easily detached from the grooves 13a and 13b.
