[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an umbrella provided with a lighting device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional umbrellas that have been used in the past include a pillar provided at the center, umbrella bones arranged radially from the tip of the pillar, and supporting bones that support each umbrella between the pillars. And a sliding body to which the support-side tip of the support bone is connected and which can slide along the support, and a handle fixed to the other end of the support. The moving body was slid toward the tip of the support, and when not in use, the slide was slid toward the other end of the support. Therefore, among the umbrellas with the above structure, the handle does not directly affect the function of the umbrella, so the shape is various, and it is similar to a large or small one or an animal head. Some were shaped. The most common shape is a shape that is suitable for grasping and whose tip is curved in a substantially U-shape.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, when using an umbrella with any shape, it was not used for any purpose other than holding it to support the entire umbrella. In addition, when umbrellas are used due to nighttime rainfall, the visibility becomes extremely poor due to darkness and rainfall, and not only unpaved roads but also paved roads and sidewalks can enter the puddle. There was something. This is particularly remarkable in cities with sewers, etc., and rainwater should flow through the gutters of the paved road to the sewers. Roads and sidewalks will be flooded if rainwater is not sufficiently drained into the sewer. Also, when using a flashlight to fully grasp the situation at the feet, the user had to support the umbrella with one hand and hold the flashlight with the other hand, which was very troublesome.

[0004] In view of the above points, the present invention provides an umbrella that can be used while checking one's feet with one hand free even at night by providing a lighting device using the handle of the umbrella. The purpose is to:

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a power supply is built in the handle of the umbrella, a switch for the power supply is provided outside the handle, a lamp connected to the power supply is provided at the tip of the handle, and when the umbrella is used, the light of the light is The gist of the present invention is an umbrella equipped with a lighting device, which is provided with a reflector for illuminating the vicinity of the foot.

[0006] It is preferable that the handle is detachable from a column of the umbrella, and a main body of the umbrella may be configured to be foldable.

[0007]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, an umbrella 1 that can be used at the time of rainfall is provided with a lighting device on a handle 2, and a battery 3 serving as a power supply is housed inside the handle 2. A light bulb 4 that emits light when connected to the battery 3 is provided. A reflecting mirror 5 having a concave curved surface is provided on a mounting portion of the light bulb 4 (the upper part of the light bulb in the figure), and a part of the light emitted from the light bulb 4 is reflected by the reflecting mirror 5 and in a desired direction. Irradiation can be performed while concentrating light. A transparent plastic cap 6 that sufficiently surrounds the bulb 4 is screwed onto the tip (the lower end in the figure) of the handle 2 to protect the bulb 4 and protect the bulb 4 from direct light. In addition, the light reflected by the reflecting mirror 5 can pass through without any trouble. The light bulb 4 can be connected to a light emitting unit 7 (see FIG. 2), and the reflecting mirror 5 is fixed to the light emitting unit 7. A switch 8 is mounted on the surface of the light emitting unit 7 so that the power can be turned on and off by connecting and disconnecting the electric wire connected to the battery 3 inside the light emitting unit 7. ing.

As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 2 having the above-described configuration is configured such that the power supply unit 10, the light emitting unit 7, and the cap 6 are sequentially screwed to the handle main body 9. It can be easily released. Therefore, when the battery 3 or the bulb 4 is replaced, the screw 3 can be easily removed by releasing the screw. Further, since a female screw is provided on the handle body 9 and a male screw is provided on the tip 12 of the support 11 of the umbrella 1, the umbrella 1 and the handle 2 can be freely attached and detached by screwing them together. is there. Therefore, it is possible to mount the lighting device only when it is desired, and detach it during the daytime or when it is unnecessary, and attach a normal handle.

[0009] With the above-described configuration, at the time of use, light is emitted straight downward from the tip of the handle 2. When the column 11 of the umbrella 1 is used in a state where the column 11 is placed on the shoulder, the column 11 is inclined slightly obliquely, so that it is possible to illuminate the front about one to two steps just when walking. It is really suitable for walking. When the bulb 4 is turned on by use, it is most effective that the driver of the car can easily find the presence of a pedestrian. In other words, under recent road conditions, most of the roads are paved, and the road surface reflects light due to rain at night, in other words, it does not become bright even when illuminated by headlights. Some colors may not be easily discoverable. Therefore, if we use the fact that the road surface reflects light, if we bring something that emits light toward the road surface, the light will be reflected on the road surface and the driver of the car will be notified of the presence. .

Next, a second embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the present embodiment is used for a folding umbrella 101, and the structure of a handle 102 is completely the same as that of the first embodiment. 109 is screwed to a support (not shown) of the umbrella 101. With this configuration, when carrying the umbrella 101 in a bag when commuting or going to school, it is natural when raining, and when it is necessary to return home in the dark even if it is not raining, It can also be used as a flashlight. Especially in winter, the sunset time is early and the surrounding area is dark when students return home, so it is effective to carry it for crime prevention, and also use a flashlight to go back and forth to the cram school. Since it can be used as an umbrella for rainfall, it is preferable to carry it with elementary school students who cannot go on and off by bicycle.

It goes without saying that various embodiments can be adopted without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, one battery 3 is shown as a power source, but there is no problem even if there are a plurality of batteries. If there is another power source, that is fine.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the present invention, when the umbrella is used, the power supply is built into the handle of the umbrella, the switch for the power supply is provided outside the handle, and the light connected to the power supply is provided at the tip of the handle. The gist of the present invention is to provide an umbrella provided with a lighting device, which is provided with a reflector for irradiating the vicinity of the foot with the light of the electric lamp, so that the foot can be illuminated using the umbrella during rainfall. Yes, and if the umbrella is used so that it rests on the shoulder, the umbrella will be inclined at an angle, and the axis from the upper end to the lower end of the umbrella will be one or two steps when walking. Since the light is aligned in the front direction, it is suitable for walking when light is irradiated in the axial direction of the column.

[0013] If the handle is detachable from the support of the umbrella, the handle can be selectively used according to the time zone used by the user. It is also possible to prepare several types of handles with light bulbs with different illuminances and replace them according to the conditions such as whether there are many or few street lights on the road. In addition, when it is used only in the daytime or when lending it to an acquaintance, it can be exchanged for a general handle, and it can be used like a normal umbrella.

If the umbrella main body is of a foldable type, it can be carried in the same manner as an umbrella in a foldable manner to be carried in a bag for commuting or commuting, so that it does not rain. However, it can be used as a flashlight if you have to return home in the dark. Therefore, when they return home at night, they can feel a little relieved, and by carrying women, it can also prevent crimes and the like, which are likely to occur when walking alone at night.
