Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a western umbrella, and more particularly, to a western umbrella provided with a decorative piece that projects forward and backward in conjunction with opening and closing.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, various types of western umbrellas have been provided, but basically, all have a structure in which the skeleton is deployed when the umbrella is opened and the skeleton is focused when the umbrella is closed. Therefore, the umbrella cloth stretched over such a skeleton is stretched almost hemispherically when the umbrella is opened, and converges following the skeleton when the umbrella is closed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Conventional umbrellas with a frame structure can adopt various designs by applying patterns and patterns to the umbrella cloth.

[0004] However, for example, in the case of applying a design such as a character to an umbrella cloth that has been developed into a substantially hemispherical shape at the time of opening the umbrella, a design or pattern can be arbitrarily selected, but the entire shape is substantially hemispherical. Because it is limited to the form, there is a restriction on the creation of the design itself.

[0005] For example, even if an attempt is made to represent the head of an animal such as a cat or a dog as a character by using an expanded substantially hemispherical umbrella cloth, a three-dimensional effect cannot be obtained. In other words, when expressing a character with long ears, even if a pattern is printed on an umbrella cloth, it is flat and lacks a three-dimensional effect. In this regard, for example, if a piece of cloth representing a long ear is sewn on an umbrella cloth and protruded, it will be rich in three-dimensional feeling. In this case, the long ear piece is not only when the umbrella is opened but also when the umbrella is closed. Will protrude from the umbrella cloth, causing a problem of being bulky in the closed state.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides a western umbrella which has solved the above-mentioned problems, and as a first means thereof, the upper umbrella is fixed to the tip of a center rod. A pivotal piece is provided in a longitudinally intermediate portion of the pivoted rib, and a skeleton structure is provided in which a tip of a receiving bone pivotally attached to a lower wheel slidable on a center rod is pivotally connected to the pivotal piece. In a western umbrella in which an umbrella cloth is stretched over a rib, a guide means is provided between the pivot piece and the upper wheel, and a guide means is provided between the rib and the lower wheel. A pivot means is provided, and a decorative frame member having a tail end pivotally attached to the pivot means is slidably inserted through the guide means, and an insertion portion of the decorative frame member is interlocked with the opening and closing operation of the western umbrella. It is made to protrude above the umbrella cloth so that it can move forward and backward.

[0007] Further, the present invention is configured as a second means in that a pivotal link is provided at a longitudinally intermediate portion of the rib, which is fixed to the tip of the center rod and is pivotally attached to the wheel, and slides on the center rod. In a western umbrella having a frame structure in which a tip of a receiving bone pivotally attached to a free lower wheel is pivotally connected to the pivot piece, and an umbrella cloth is stretched on a rib, the pivot piece and the upper wheel are connected to each other. The first guide means and the second guide means are provided on the rib at a distance from each other, and the first pivot means and the second guide means are located between the pivot piece and the lower wheel. Pivot means are provided at an interval from each other, and the first decorative frame member having its tail end pivotally connected to the first pivot means is slidably inserted through the first guide means, and the first decorative frame member is inserted and removed. The second part has the tail end pivotally connected to the second pivoting means, with the tail end protruding above and behind the umbrella cloth in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the umbrella. The decorative frame member is slidably inserted through the second guide means, and the insertion portion of the second decorative frame member is protruded and retractable above the umbrella cloth in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the western umbrella. And the tip of the second decorative frame member is pivotally connected to each other.

In either of the first and second means, the umbrella cloth stretched over the rib is formed by connecting a bag-shaped decorative piece for accommodating the insertion portion of the decorative frame member inserted from the guide means. It is preferable that it is installed.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a western umbrella constructed so as to represent a character by an umbrella cloth 1 which has been expanded substantially in a hemispherical shape when the umbrella is opened. For example, the head of an animal such as a cat or a dog is represented. ing. Among the characters, the eyes 2 and the nose 3 can be represented as a non-bulky planar figure by a printed pattern applied to the umbrella cloth 1 or a patchwork sewn on the umbrella cloth 1. Is three-dimensionally represented by a decorative piece 5 projecting upward from the umbrella cloth 1.

The decorative piece 5 stands up and protrudes from the umbrella cloth 1 when the umbrella is opened as shown in FIG. 1A, but does not become bulky when the umbrella is closed as shown in FIG. 1B. The protrusion is reduced as described above, and preferably, the tip is tilted toward the tip of the umbrella.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the western umbrella, the upper wheel 7 is fixed to the tip of the center bar 6, while the lower wheel 8 is slidably inserted outside the center bar 6. A hand 9 (see FIG. 1) is attached to the tail end of the middle rod 6.

A base end of a rib 9 is pivotally attached to the upper wheel 7, and a pivot piece 10 is fixed to a middle part of the rib 9 in the longitudinal direction. On the other hand, a base end of a receiving bone 11 is pivotally connected to the lower wheel 8, and a distal end of the receiving bone 11 is connected to the connecting piece 10. An umbrella cloth 1 is stretched over the rib 9. Therefore, when the lower wheel 8 is lowered toward the hand 9 along the center rod 6, the angle θ between the rib 11 and the rib 9 extending from the pivot piece 10 to both wheels 8, 7 increases, and the rib 9 Is closed. Conversely, when the lower wheel 8 is raised toward the upper wheel 7 along the middle rod 6, the angle θ between the receiving bone 11 and the rib 9 is reduced, and the rib 9 is opened. Such a frame structure that can be freely opened and closed by the main rib 9 and the receiving bone 11 is known per se, and will not be described in detail any more. In addition to the frame structure shown in the drawings, the rib 9 is conventionally configured to be freely foldable. Folding umbrellas having a frame structure are also known, and the present invention may be applied to such folding umbrellas as well.

The rib 9 is located between the pivot piece 10 and the upper wheel 7, and the first guide means 12a and the second guide means 12b are provided at an interval from each other. The first pivoting means 13a and the second pivoting means 13b are provided between the tie piece 10 and the lower wheel 8 at an interval from each other. Therefore, the first decorative frame member 14 has its tail end pivotally attached to the first pivotal support means 13a and is inserted through the first guide means 12a, and is inserted out of the guide means 12a to remove the ribs 9 and An insertion portion 14a protruding above the umbrella cloth 1 is provided. Further, the second decorative frame member 15 has its tail end pivotally connected to the second pivot support means 13b, is inserted through the second guide means 12b, and is inserted out of the guide means 12b to remove the rib 9 and the umbrella. An insertion portion 15a protruding above the cloth 1 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 4 in an enlarged manner, the first guide means 12 a and the second guide means 12 b are respectively provided with a bracket piece 16 fixed to the rib 9 by caulking or the like, and an axial attachment to the bracket piece 16. And a turning piece 17 rotatable about an axis intersecting the ribs 9, and a guide portion 18 formed of a hole or a groove through which the decorative frame members 14, 15 are slidably inserted. .

Each of the first pivoting means 13 a and the second pivoting means 13 b includes a tongue piece 19 fixed to the receiving bone 11 by caulking or the like, and a shaft member such as a pin mounted on the tongue piece 19. And a loop portion 21 formed at the tail end of each of the decorative frame members 14 and 15 is rotatably supported on the shaft member 20.

Each of the first decorative frame member 14 and the second decorative frame member 15 is made of an elastic wire, and has a distal end of the insertion portion 14 a of the first decorative frame member 14 and an insertion portion of the second decorative frame member 15. The distal ends of the protrusions 15a are pivotally connected to each other via a pivotal fixture 22. That is, a loop portion 14b bent at the tip of the insertion portion 14a and a loop portion 15b bent at the tip of the insertion portion 15a are respectively turned around the shaft portion 23 of the pivot attachment 22. It is movably supported.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the umbrella cloth 1 stretched over the ribs 9 is provided with decorative pieces 4 representing the ears 4 of the character. The decorative piece 4 forms a pocket-shaped bag portion for accommodating the insertion portions 14a and 15a by superimposing a cloth piece of the same material as the umbrella cloth 1 and sewing the periphery thereof. Has been sewn.

According to the western umbrella having the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2, when the lower wheel 8 is raised toward the upper wheel 7 along the center rod 6, and is locked to the upper cissing 24. Then, the rib 9 is opened, and the umbrella cloth 1 is deployed in a substantially hemispherical shape and tightened. In this open state, the angle θ between the receiving bone 11 and the rib 9 is reduced to an acute angle, and the distance between the first guide means 12a and the first pivot support means 13a is reduced, and the second guide means is reduced. The distance between 12b and the second pivot means 13b is reduced. Therefore, both the insertion portion 14a of the first decorative frame member 14 and the insertion portion 15a of the second decorative frame member 15 advance above the rib 9 to protrude greatly, thereby tightening the decorative piece 4. For this reason, the character's ears 4 (decorative pieces 5) are erected on the umbrella cloth 1.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1 (B) and FIG. 3, when the lower wheel 8 is lowered toward the hand 9 along the center rod 6, the rib 9 is closed in the focusing direction and follows the rib. Then, the umbrella cloth 1 is similarly focused. During the operation from the open state to the closed state, the angle θ between the receiving bone 11 and the rib 9 gradually increases and becomes an obtuse angle, gradually increasing the distance between the first guide means 12a and the first pivot means 13a. At the same time, the distance between the second guide means 12b and the second pivot means 13b is gradually increased. Therefore, the first decorative frame member 14 and the second decorative frame member 15 are pulled by the first pivoting means 13a and the second pivoting means 13b while being guided by the first guide means 12a and the second guide means 12b, The insertion portions 14a and the insertion portions 15a are retracted from above the ribs 9. In addition, the insertion portion 14a and the insertion portion 15a can be inserted through the rotatable rotary piece 17 of the first guide means 12a and the second guide means 12b and the rotatable attachment 22 at the tip. The rod 6 is tilted toward the tip. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the pivotal attachment 22 provided on the tilting first decorative frame member 14 and second decorative frame member 15 moves while being in contact with the decorative piece 5, and the decorative piece 5 has a fold 5a. Shrink while forming Note that the pivotal attachment 22 may be sewn to the decorative piece 5 in order to ensure the contraction operation of the decorative piece 5.

It is a matter of course that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and various design changes can be made based on the claims. For example, in the illustrated example, a configuration is shown in which the decorative piece 5 is advanced and retracted by a pair of decorative frame members 14 and 15 that can move forward and backward in conjunction with the opening and closing operation. However, the decorative frame member is configured by only one of them. May be. Further, in addition to the configuration in which the bag-shaped decorative piece 5 accommodating the insertion portion of the decorative frame member is connected to the umbrella cloth 1, the insertion portion of the decorative frame member projects above the umbrella cloth 1 in an exposed state. At least, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which an appropriate decorative piece is attached to the insertion portion.

[0022]

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, guide means 12a and 12b are provided on the rib 9 located between the pivot piece 10 and the upper wheel 7, while the receiving bone 11 is located between the pivot piece 10 and the lower wheel 8. And the decorative frame members 14, 15 having their tail ends pivotally attached to the pivoting means 13a, 13b are slidably inserted through the guide means 12a, 12b. Since the insertion portions 14a and 15a are configured to protrude above and behind the umbrella cloth 1 in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the umbrella, the insertion portions 14a and 15a dynamically move on the umbrella cloth of the umbrella. Designs can be applied.

At this time, the bag-shaped decorative piece 5 is connected to the umbrella cloth 1 and the removably insertable portions 14a, 15a are accommodated in the decorative piece 5, so that the semi-spherical shape is obtained when the umbrella is opened. The design of a character or the like is applied to the umbrella cloth 1 that is developed in the area, and the decorative piece 5 can express a three-dimensional shape pattern like the character's ear 4, so that a western umbrella rich in taste can be provided. .

In particular, according to the present invention, in the opened state in which the lower wheel 8 is raised, the insertion portions 14 a and 15 a of the decorative frame members 14 and 15 greatly protrude above the umbrella cloth 1 and have a design. On the other hand, when the lower wheel 8 is lowered to shift from the open state to the closed state, the insertion portions 14a and 15a of the decorative frame members 14 and 15 are retracted above the umbrella cloth 1 while increasing the effect. Since the insertion ends of the insertion portions 14a and 15a are tilted toward the tip of the center rod 6, the protrusion amounts of the insertion portions 14a and 15a and the decorative piece 5 are reduced appropriately, and the bulky closing is not performed. In terms of enabling an umbrella state, it is extremely effective.
