Description

  The present invention relates to an umbrella skeleton and an umbrella configured using the skeleton.

  In the conventional umbrella, as shown in FIG. 9, a runner 8 is slidably fitted along an axial direction that is a direction along the axis of the middle bar 6, and an upper armor of the middle bar 6. The upper repelling groove formed in the lower part close to 7 is provided with an upper repelling 61 that can prevent the runner 8 from moving downward, and the lower repelling groove formed at the lower part away from the upper crossing wheel 7 of the center rod 6. The lower repelling 62 is provided so that it can float and sink.

  When using this umbrella, push the runner 8 with your finger and slide the runner 8 along the axial direction of the center rod 6 in the direction of the upper wheel 7 while pushing the upper repelling 61 and retracting it into the upper repelling groove. When the upper slipping groove slips over the upper repelling groove, the upper repelling 61 is immediately repelled by the elastic repulsion force, and the runner 8 is locked. As a result, the skeleton 9 is expanded outward with respect to the middle bar 6 and at the same time, the umbrella can be held in an open state.

  On the other hand, while the umbrella is opened, the upper repelling 61 is pushed into the upper repellent groove with a finger and the runner 8 is pulled and moved downward, while the lower repelling 62 is pushed to retreat into the lower repelling groove, and the runner 8 moves the lower repelling groove. When slipping over, the lower repelling 62 is immediately repelled by its elastic repulsive force, and the runner 8 is locked. As a result, the skeleton 9 surrounds and converges around the middle bar 6 and the umbrella can be held closed.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the skeleton 9 includes a plurality of master bones 91 that are pivotally connected to the upper handle 7 and a plurality of ribs 93 that are pivotally connected to the runner 8. In addition, the base end portion of the main bone 91 is pivotally attached to the upper crossbone 7, and the distal end portion of the receiving bone 93 is pivotally attached to the intermediate portion of the parent bone 91 by the pivot 92, and the base end portion of the receiving bone 93 is connected to the runner. It is pivotally attached to 8. Since the receiving bone 93 is swingably connected to the parent bone 91 by a pivot 92, the skeleton 9 is slightly outward due to the gravity of folds (not shown) formed on the umbrella cloth in the closed state. In order to spread, the front end of the skeleton 9 is caught on clothes or the like by bundling the skeleton 9 around the middle rod 6 with a fastener (not shown) such as a band attached to an umbrella cloth (not shown). It is possible to reduce the possibility that the skeleton 9 is broken or injured.

  In the above-mentioned conventional umbrella, the widened tip of the closed frame 9 can be bundled together with a fastener such as a band, but an attachment process for attaching the fastener such as a band to the umbrella cloth is required during the manufacture of the umbrella This increases the manufacturing cost. In addition, when the umbrella cloth is wound around the middle rod 6 when the umbrella is closed, there is a problem that it is difficult to gather the frame 9 and the umbrella cloth because the spread of the frame 9 becomes an obstacle.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella framework that can be easily assembled without spreading the framework when the umbrella is closed.

  In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the framework of the umbrella according to the present invention has an upper frame fixed to the upper portion in the longitudinal direction of the middle rod provided so as to extend long, and the lower portion of the middle rod is a lower portion of the middle rod. The runner can be slidable vertically between an open umbrella position approaching the upper crossbone and a closed umbrella position away from the upper crosspiece of the center rod. A skeleton that is connected, and is a main bone that extends long, the base end of which is pivotally connected to the upper crossbone, and a bone that extends long, the base end of which is the base A bone support pivotably connected to a runner, and a distal end opposite to the base end on the runner side is pivotally connected to an intermediate portion of the parent bone via a pivot joint. The parent bone is connected to the run in the pivot by the pivot. -When the umbrella is moved to the opened position, the first main bone portion on the first stereotaxic position side that holds the umbrella in the opened state, and the runner in the pivoting tool is moved to the closed position. A second master bone portion on the second stereotaxic position side that holds the umbrella in the closed state is divided into two parts, and the master bone and the bone support approach the center rod side and the bone support and the bone bone When the two bones approach each other, the bones are positioned at the second localization position of the pivot so that the bones and the bones can be temporarily fixed relative to the center rod. The pivoting tool is provided with a first locking portion, and the distal end portion of the receiving bone is locked with the first locking portion so as to be positioned. Is provided.

  According to the umbrella framework according to the present invention, when the runner slides to the closed umbrella position on the lower end side of the middle rod and holds the umbrella in the closed state, the master bone and the ribs approach the middle rod side and receive them. When the bone and the second main bone portion of the main bone approach each other, the second locking portion provided on the receiving bone gets over the first locking portion provided on the pivot joint and is received at the second stereotaxic position. Can be fastened. In this way, since the main bone and the receiving bone can be positioned with respect to the middle rod when the umbrella is closed, the framework does not spread outward due to the gravity of the folds of the umbrella cloth when the umbrella is closed. Therefore, an umbrella having a structure in which an umbrella cloth and a framework are easily assembled when the umbrella is closed is manufactured using the framework according to the present invention.

The skeleton 1 is provided. Since the structure of this umbrella has substantially the same structure as a conventional umbrella, detailed description thereof is omitted.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a skeleton which is a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with some embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, components having the same configuration and function are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a first embodiment of the umbrella framework according to the present invention in a closed state of the umbrella, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the framework according to the first embodiment.

  An umbrella framework 1 according to the present invention is a main bone 10 that extends long in a rod shape as shown in the figure, and a main bone 10 whose base end portion 10a is pivotally connected to an upper crosspiece 200 and a receiving member that extends in a rod shape. It is a bone 30, and its proximal end 30 a is pivotally connected to the runner 300, and a distal end 30 b opposite to the proximal end 30 a is connected to the proximal end 10 a of the main bone 10 and the base by the pivot 20. And a rib 30 that is pivotally connected to an intermediate portion 10c between the tip portion 10b opposite to the end portion 10a.

The master bone 10 is pivotally connected to the first master bone portion 11 on the first stereotaxic position side that holds the umbrella in the opened state when the runner 300 in the pivot tool 20 moves to the opened umbrella position by the pivot tool 20. When the runner 300 in the tool 20 moves to the closed position, the runner 300 is divided into two in the longitudinal direction, with the second main bone portion 12 on the second stereotaxic position side that holds the umbrella in the closed position.
The pivoting tool 20 includes a cylindrical mounting member 21 that surrounds the intermediate part 10c of the main bone 10 and a radial bone-receiving bone that is perpendicular to the axial direction along the axis (not shown) of the main bone 10 from the periphery of the mounting member 21. It consists of a pivot piece 22 projecting toward the 30 side.
As the runner 300 moves, the bone receiving 30 pivots with respect to the parent bone 10 with the pivoting tool 20 as a fulcrum so as to approach the first parent bone 11 side or the second parent bone 12 side. It is worn.

  A bracket member 31 that clamps the pivotal support piece 22 is pivotally mounted around the pivotal support piece 22 as a fulcrum. Two support pieces 311 and 311 are provided so as to sandwich the gap between the two support pieces 311 and 311, and a receiving space 313 that spatially communicates with the outside is defined by the two support pieces 311 and 311. In addition, a guide surface 312 is formed to guide the pivoting tool 20 so as to contact and rotate. A second locking portion 32 is formed on the guide surface 312 so as to protrude into the receiving space 313, for example.

  In the pivotal joint 20, the first latching portion 23 is the second latching portion 32 between the bottom portion 221 of the pivotal support piece 22 on the second main bone 12 side and the outer portion 222 away from the attachment member 21. And projecting in the same plane as the pivot piece 22. As a result, the first locking portion 23 positions the second locking portion 32 on the first localization position side or the second localization position side of the pivoting tool 20, whereby the master bone 10 and the bone receiving bone. 30 can be localized relative to the middle rod 100 so as not to move.

In this example, it is preferable that the first locking portion 23 protrudes roundly on the peripheral surface between at least the bottom portion 221 and the outer portion 222 of the pivot piece 22.
The second locking portion 32 is provided on the guide surface portion 312 with respect to the first locking portion 23. As a result, when the receiving bone 30 swings with respect to the main bone 10, the second locking portion 32 moves the first locking portion 23 while the peripheral surface of the pivoting tool 20 contacts and slides on the guide surface portion 312. After getting over, it is received at the first localization position on the outer side 222 side or the second localization position on the bottom side 221 side.

In this example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second locking portion 32 is positioned, for example, in the middle portion of the guide surface portion 312 and is in contact with the first locking portion 23. The contact surface portion 321 provided so as to overcome the contact surface portion 321 and the both sides of the contact surface portion 321 and then the back surface is inclined with the contact surface portion 321 sandwiched therebetween, that is, the first and second surfaces of the contact surface portion 321 are inclined and extended backward. The first inclined surface portion 323 and the second inclined surface portion 322 are provided so as to correspond to the outer portion 222, and the second inclined surface portion 322 corresponds to the bottom portion 221.
In addition, it is preferable that the 2nd latching | locking part 32 is formed in the arc shape which connects continuously and smoothly from the 1st inclined surface part 323 to the contact surface part 321 and the 2nd inclined surface part 322. FIG.

  According to the umbrella using the framework of the umbrella configured as described above, when closing the umbrella, in the opened state of the umbrella (FIG. 4), by pulling the runner 300 with a finger and moving it downward, When the receiving bone 30 and the main bone 10 pivot so as to surround the middle rod 100, the main bone 10 and the receiving bone 30 approach the middle rod 100 side in conjunction with the movement of the runner 300 and the receiving bone 30 and the main bone 10. The second main bone portion 12 approaches. Then, the second locking portion 32 is guided by the second inclined surface portion 322, gets over the first locking portion 23, and is received at the second fixed position on the bottom portion 221 side corresponding to the closed state of the umbrella. (FIG. 2).

  As a result, the second locking portion 32 is hooked by the second locking portion 32 so that the receiving bone 30 can be positioned with respect to the main bone 10, so that the main bone 10 does not spread due to gravity. Therefore, the skeleton 1 is easily wrapped around the middle rod 100.

  When the umbrella is opened, when the runner 300 is slid toward the armor 200 with the finger in the umbrella closed state (FIG. 1), the receiving bone 30 pivots in conjunction with the movement of the runner 300. Then, the master bone 10 is developed together with the receiving bone 30 in conjunction with each other. At this time, the second locking portion 32 is guided by the first inclined surface portion 323 and the abutting surface portion 321, gets over the first locking portion 23, and the second locking portion 32 on the outer side 222 side corresponding to the opened state of the umbrella. It is received at the stereotaxic position 1 (FIG. 5).

As described above, according to the umbrella framework 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above, the spreading of the framework 1 becomes an obstacle when the umbrella cloth (not shown) is wound around the middle rod 100 when closed. Thus, it is possible to solve the problem that it is difficult to assemble the skeleton 1, and there is no need for an attachment process for attaching a fastener such as a band to the umbrella cloth during the manufacture of the umbrella, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
In addition, since the umbrella framework 1 according to the present invention can be positioned so as to hold the umbrella in the opened state or the closed state with respect to the middle rod 100, the middle rod 100 is provided with a repelling groove as in the related art. It does not have to be provided. Therefore, the structural strength of the middle bar 100 is not reduced, and there is no fear of the fingers being pinched by the repelling of the repellent, making the umbrella opening / closing operation even safer.

In this example, the second locking portion 32 rides over the corner portion 223 between the bottom portion 221 on the second main bone portion 12 side and the outer side portion 222 on the first main bone portion 11 side of the pivoting tool 20A, and enters the second portion. A recessed portion 24 in which the second locking portion 32 is fitted and positioned is provided as the first locking portion so that the second locking portion 32 is positioned and positioned on the side of the positioning position. Since the other configuration is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, the description of the overlapping portion is omitted here.

  In this example, the second locking portion 32 is concavo-convexly fitted into the concave portion 24, so that the parent bone 10 and the receiving bone 30 can be temporarily positioned relative to the middle rod 100 so as not to move. It should be noted that the bottom 221 on the second skeleton 12 side and the outer portion 222 on the first skeleton 11 side of the pivot tool 20 </ b> A so that the main bone 10 and the receiving bone 30 can be further localized with respect to the middle rod 100. The corner portions 223 may be formed so as to protrude.

  Thereby, in the closed state of the umbrella, the second locking portion 32 is a corner portion between the bottom portion 221 on the second main skeleton portion 12 side and the outer side portion 222 on the first main skeleton portion 11 side of the pivoting tool 20. 223 is passed over and inserted into the recess 24. As a result, the frame 1A is received so as to be temporarily positioned at the second positioning position on the bottom 221 side of the pivoting tool 20, so that the skeleton 1A does not spread outward with respect to the center rod 100, but around the center rod 100. Can be focused on.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 7 is a diagram schematically showing a third embodiment of the framework according to the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII in FIG. In this example, as a first locking part, a projection 23B is projected on two side surface parts 224 and 224 parallel to the radial direction of the main bone 10 of the pivot piece 22, and as a second locking part, The holes 32B are provided in the surface portions 311a and 311a on the receiving space 313 side of the support pieces 311 and 311 so that the concave and convex portions are fitted in correspondence with the first locking portions 23B.

  Accordingly, when the umbrella is closed, if the receiving bone 30 swings with respect to the master bone 10 via the pivoting tool 20, the projection 23 </ b> B as the first locking portion moves the side surface part 224 of the pivoting tool 20. By being fitted and locked in the locking hole 32B as the second locking portion while sliding, it is received so as to be temporarily positioned on the second positioning position side with respect to the pivoting tool 20. Therefore, the framework 1B can be focused around the middle rod 100 without spreading outward with respect to the middle rod 100.
