Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] Since the cover and the umbrella main body are provided separately, there is an inconvenience that the cover is frequently lost when the umbrella is removed during use. On the other hand, in the folding umbrella, because of its structure, a grip portion for manually gripping the umbrella is formed small, and therefore, it has been evaluated that the grip condition is not preferable when the umbrella is actually put on. An umbrella body (2) has a handle (4) fixed to the lower end of a handle shaft (3) configured to be extendable and contracted. When used, the handle shaft (3) is extended and the umbrella is opened. The handle shaft 3 is contracted and the umbrella is closed and folded, and is integrally fitted to the lower end side of the cylindrical case 5. The case 5 has a hollow portion 6 in which the umbrella body 2 can be stored in a folded state.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. [First embodiment] Figs. 1 and 2 are diagrams showing a first embodiment of a folding umbrella 1 with a case according to the present invention. In these drawings, reference numeral 2 denotes an umbrella body. The umbrella body 2 is a so-called general foldable umbrella, in which a handle 4 is fixed to a lower end of a handle shaft 3 configured to be extendable and contractable. When not in use, the handle shaft 3 is contracted and the umbrella is closed and folded when not in use. The grip 4 has a pair of protrusions 4a protruding outward from the grip 4.

The umbrella body 2 is fitted to the lower end side of the cylindrical case 5 via the protrusion 4 a of the grip portion 4. The case 5 is formed by folding the umbrella body 2. In this state, it has a hollow portion 6 capable of storing the same. A groove 5a is formed on the inner surface of the case 5 halfway along the longitudinal direction of the case 5, and the projection 4a is engaged with the groove 5a, so that the umbrella body 2 and the case 5 And the umbrella body 2 is slidable along the groove 5a toward the upper end of the case 5.

As shown in FIG. 2, a pair of openable and closable lids 7 are attached to the upper end of the case 5 (the side opposite to the side where the projection 4 a of the gripper 4 is fitted). The lids 7 are individually attached by hinges 8 at the upper edge of the case 5, and when the lids 7 are closed, both the lids 7 are overlapped and the handle shaft 3 can be inserted into the center thereof. Holes are formed.

Next, an example of use of the folding umbrella 1 with a case having the above configuration will be described. When the umbrella is pointed, first, the umbrella body 1 housed in the case 5 is slightly pushed out from the grip portion 4 side. Open the lid 7 and project. In this state, when the tip of the umbrella body 1 is pulled out to extend the handle shaft 3 and open the umbrella while closing the lid 7, the handle 7 is guided by the lid 7 (see FIG. 1 (a)). Then, in actual use, the case 5 is gripped from the outside. On the other hand, in order to store the umbrella main body 1 in the case 5 with the umbrella opened, the umbrella may be closed and then folded, and the handle shaft 3 may be contracted and stored (see FIG. 1B).

As described above, according to the folding umbrella 1 with a case of the present invention, the umbrella main body 2 and the case 5 are provided integrally, and when the umbrella is used, the case 5 also serves as a gripping portion by hand. In addition to ensuring a suitable gripping state of the user, the case 5 is reliably prevented from being lost, and the case 5 prevents the umbrella body 2 from being damaged when not in use.

Second Embodiment Next, another embodiment different from the above will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the same components as those of the folding umbrella 1 with a case described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals to simplify the description.

In the folding umbrella 11 with a case shown in FIG. 3, a pair of bellows portions 13 facing each other in this example are formed in a part along a longitudinal direction of a cylindrical case 12. The expansion and contraction of the casing 13 enables the casing 12 to expand and contract in the circumferential direction (therefore, the hollow portion 6 can be enlarged and reduced). The lid 7 in the case 12 is attached to the upper edge of the case 12 between the bellows portions 13.

According to the foldable umbrella 11 with the case 12 having the case 12, since the bellows portion 13 expands and contracts appropriately by expansion and contraction, the case 12 serving as a grip portion when the umbrella is used is formed. A comfortable grip can be achieved according to the user. Further, since the hollow portion 6 of the case 12 can be reduced by the contraction of the bellows portion 13, it is also possible to store the hollow portion 6 in a narrow place such as a bag.

Third Embodiment FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment. Also in this embodiment, the description is simplified by assigning the same reference numerals to the same structural portions as those in the first and second embodiments.

The foldable umbrella 15 with a case shown in FIG. 4 has a double tube structure in which the case 16 is particularly stretchable. That is, in this case 16, the inner tube 18 is slidably inserted into the outer tube 17, and the gripping portion 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the lower end of the outer tube 17 via the projection 4 a. The inner pipe 18 slides without rotating with respect to the outer pipe 17 when the bellows portions 13 formed on each other overlap each other. The inner tube 18 has projections 19 formed on the upper and lower side surfaces. The projections 19 engage with grooves (not shown) formed on the inner surface of the outer tube 17 so that smooth sliding can be performed. ing.

According to the foldable umbrella 15 with the case as described above, if the inner tube 18 is extended during use, the portion directly gripped by hand becomes longer, while the inner tube 18 is placed inside the outer tube 17. If it is stored, the part to be gripped becomes shorter, and the length can be adjusted according to the user's preference.
