  FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B are schematic perspective views for explaining the overall configuration of the umbrella holder 100 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1A is a perspective view of the front side of the umbrella holder 100, and FIG. 1B is a perspective view of the back side of the umbrella holder 100.

  As shown in FIG. 1A, the umbrella holder 100 includes a holding part 10, an extendable part 20, and a saucer part 30. The holding unit 10, the telescopic unit 20, and the tray unit 30 are sequentially arranged in the longitudinal direction of the umbrella and are fixed to each other. In a state where the umbrella is accommodated in the umbrella holder 100, the holding unit 10 is located on the umbrella gripping part side, and the tray 30 is located on the tip side of the umbrella.

  The holding part 10 is a member for holding an umbrella. The holding part 10 includes an accommodation part 11 that extends along the longitudinal direction of the umbrella and can accommodate a part of the holding part side of the umbrella. The accommodating part 11 has a semi-cylindrical shape, for example. Alternatively, the accommodating portion 11 may be a rectangular parallelepiped whose surface is cut into a semi-cylinder. The material of the accommodating portion 11 is not particularly limited, but may be a plastic such as APR resin, for example. A cover 12 is provided on the front side of the accommodating portion 11. The cover 12 can be opened and closed. The umbrella can be accommodated in the accommodating portion 11 with the cover 12 open, and the umbrella is held in the holding portion 10 with the cover 12 closed.

  In order to suppress play of the umbrella, a low resilience sponge, fiber, or the like may be provided inside the cover 12. Furthermore, the umbrella-side surfaces of the accommodating portion 11 and the cover 12 may have water repellency. In this case, water droplets attached to the umbrella can be easily guided to the tray part 30. Here, having water repellency means that the contact angle is 90 degrees or more.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1B, a hook 13 is provided on the back side of the accommodating portion 11. The hook 13 has a shape that can be mounted on a user's portable product. Examples of portable items in this case include handbags, shoulder bags, rucksacks, and the like. For example, a plastic such as a reinforced APR resin can be used as the hook 13.

  The stretchable part 20 is stretchable in the longitudinal direction of the umbrella, and has a configuration that covers the tip side of the umbrella holding part 10 in an expanded state. For example, the expansion / contraction part 20 has a bellows structure. The stretchable part 20 may be stretchable by a coil-shaped shape memory member. The stretchable part 20 may be covered with a waterproof cloth, for example. Further, the inner surface of the stretchable part 20 may have water repellency. In this case, water droplets attached to the umbrella can be easily guided to the tray part 30.

  The saucer part 30 has a configuration capable of temporarily storing rainwater adhering to the umbrella. For example, the tray part 30 has a configuration in which a water absorbing member 32 is disposed inside a bottomed cylindrical container 31. The water absorbing member 32 is made of a material having water absorption, for example, a sponge or the like. The container 31 is made of a plastic such as APR resin.

  According to this embodiment, the umbrella is held by the umbrella holder 100. By attaching the umbrella holder 100 to the portable item using the hook 13, the user does not need to hold the umbrella. In particular, the user can use both hands by attaching the umbrella holder 100 to a shoulder bag, a rucksack or the like.

  Further, water droplets attached to the umbrella are stored in the tray part 30. Thereby, adhesion of water drops falling from the umbrella to clothes is suppressed. In particular, by providing the water absorbing member 32, water droplets are held by the water absorbing member 32. Thereby, the fall of the water droplet stored in the saucer part 30 is suppressed.

  Moreover, since the umbrella is covered with the stretchable part 20, exposure of water droplets attached to the umbrella is suppressed. In this case, it is suppressed that the water droplet of an umbrella adheres to people other than a user. For example, it is particularly effective in a crowded vehicle.

  In addition, as shown to Fig.3 (a), the hook 13 can be mounted | worn with things other than a portable article. For example, if an engagement member for engaging the hook 13 is provided on the desk of a company that has worked, the umbrella holder 100 can be mounted on the side of the desk. In this case, there is no need for an umbrella place in the company.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the water absorbing member 32 may be removable from the container 31. In this case, the water absorbing member 32 can be dried in another place. Further, when the water absorbing member 32 deteriorates due to repeated use, another water absorbing member 32 can be arranged in the container 31.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG.3 (c), the container 31 may be removable from the expansion-contraction part 20. As shown in FIG. For example, by removing the container 31 when the user is away from the crowd, the water droplets attached to the umbrella can be dropped while the user is walking. In this case, drying of the umbrella can be promoted without causing trouble to others.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3D, when the umbrella is used, the umbrella holder 100 can be made compact by contracting the stretchable portion 20. Thereby, the portability of the umbrella holder 100 improves.

  In this embodiment, the long umbrella is stored in the umbrella holder 100, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even a folding umbrella can be stored in the umbrella holder 100.

  FIG. 4 is a front perspective view of the umbrella holder 100a according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, the umbrella holder 100 a includes a holding unit 10 a instead of the holding unit 10. The holding part 10a has a cylindrical shape. In this case, the cover or the like cannot be opened or closed, but the umbrella is held by the holding unit 10a by inserting the umbrella into the holding unit 10a.

  FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the umbrella holder 100b according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, a hook-and-loop fastener 13b such as Velcro (registered trademark) may be used instead of the hook. Even in this case, the umbrella holder 100b can be fixed to the bag.
