Reference numeral 19 denotes a protector provided on the upper surface of the upper mirror section 12.

  The high pressure metal container 11 stores gas and liquid such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium, air, liquefied carbon gas, liquefied butane, dissolved acetylene, and liquefied ammonia in addition to LP gas gas cylinders. There are cylinders for fire extinguishers and fire extinguishers.

  The umbrella stand of the present invention is manufactured by using the waste product of the high-pressure metal container 11. Hereinafter, the umbrella stand according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the following description based on the drawings, a case where an umbrella stand according to an embodiment of the present invention is manufactured from a two-part container will be described.

  FIG. 1 relates to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and is an external view showing an umbrella stand having an opening surface formed in a circle. FIG. 2 relates to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the opening surface is formed in an oval shape. It is an external view which shows an umbrella stand.

  First, the waste product of the high-pressure metal container 11 shown in FIG. 7 is vertically divided into two at the cut surface A or B that intersects the container axis C. Then, as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the lower half of the container having an upper opening is used as the storage part 2 for the umbrella stand.

  Here, when the waste product of the high-pressure metal container 11 is divided into two at the cut surface A orthogonal to the container axis C in FIG. 7, the upper part has a circular opening surface 3a as shown in FIG. When the storage portion 2 is obtained and divided into two by the cut surface B obliquely intersecting with the container axis C in FIG. 7, the storage portion 2 having an elliptical opening surface 3b as shown in FIG. 2 is obtained. . This kind of cutting that divides the waste of the high-pressure metal container 11 into two parts can be performed by any of saw cutting, gas cutting, plasma cutting, and laser cutting, but the cutting surface is treated with a grinder. There is a need to do.

  A drain hole 4 for preventing water accumulation is provided on the bottom surface of the storage unit 2 obtained in this manner. One drain hole 4 or a plurality of drain holes 4 may be provided. The diameter of the drain hole 4 is preferably set to a dimension that allows the drainage of the umbrella without entering the tip, that is, 2 to 4 mm. Further, it is preferable to apply a rust preventive paint to the inner and outer surfaces of the storage portion 2. As for the skirt 16, it is more preferable to apply a rust preventive paint. Further, it is more preferable that the inner and outer surfaces of the storage portion 2 are removed by blasting before the application of the anticorrosive paint. Through the above procedure, the umbrella stand 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is manufactured.

  Here, if the height H1 of the circular opening surface 3a from the bottom surface of the storage portion 2 and the maximum height H2 from the bottom surface of the storage portion 2 of the elliptical opening surface 3b are too high, the folded umbrella is stored in the storage portion. Since the umbrella handle portion is positioned below the opening surfaces 3a and 3b and is difficult to take out when stored in 2, and the stored umbrella may fall down if the heights H1 and H2 are too low, the folded umbrella It is important to make it less than the dimension from the tip to the root of the handle.

  That is, a normal non-folding umbrella has a dimension from the tip of the folded umbrella to the root of the handle portion of about 510 to 730 mm, while a size from the tip of the folded umbrella of the folded umbrella to the root of the handle portion is 500 to 550 mm. Therefore, the heights H1 and H2 are preferably in a range of 400 to 500 mm shorter than these dimensions.

  Further, the reason why the elliptical opening surface 3b as shown in FIG. 2 is formed by dividing into two by the cutting surface B obliquely intersecting the container axis C is that the lower peripheral height of the opening surface 3b is the front side It is for arrange | positioning to make it easy to visually recognize the opening surface 3b of a back | inner side, and to accommodate the umbrella to the said opening surface 3b easily.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, when the angle θ (0 ° <θ <90 °) formed by the cut surface B and the container axis C oblique to the container axis C is large, a circular opening surface is formed. If the angle θ is too small, there is a difference in height in the peripheral height of the elliptical opening surface 3b, and the opening surface 3b is separated from the bottom surface of the storage portion 2 when the angle θ is too small. If the maximum height H2 is set to the above-described preferable range of 400 to 500 mm, the height of the opening surface 3b on the near side of the ellipse becomes too low and becomes unstable when the umbrella is raised on the storage unit 2.

  That is, it is preferable that the angle θ at which the cut surface B obliquely intersects the container axis C is in the range of 70 to 80 degrees. For example, when a container having an outer diameter of 320 mm is used, if H2 = 500 mm and θ = 70 degrees, the height of the opening surface 3b on the near side of the ellipse is about 400 mm, which is within the preferred height range described above. .

  As described above, according to the umbrella stand according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, the waste product of the high-pressure metal container is divided into two vertically and the lower half container having the opening surface 3a or 3b on the upper side is stored in the storage unit 2. Since the umbrella stand 1 is provided with a drain hole 4 on the bottom surface of the storage portion 2 and coated with a rust preventive paint on the inner and outer surfaces of the storage portion, the umbrella can be used at low cost with minimal processing steps. A stand 1 may be provided.

  In addition to being able to reuse the waste metal container for high pressure as the umbrella stand 1, it can be further reused as metal scrap (metal raw material) such as iron scrap and aluminum scrap even after its disposal. Effective use. Moreover, since the pressure vessel steel plate or the aluminum plate is used, it is strong and has an appropriate weight and will not crack even if it falls.
