[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an umbrella handle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to make it easy to identify the other umbrella, in general, the name of the umbrella (the part held in the hand) is written directly, a name sticker is attached, or a name tag case with a name tag is inserted. Was tied with a string. In addition, there were times when the name etc. was written for the band that binds the umbrella fabric.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 When a name or the like is written on the handle of an umbrella or when a name sticker or the like is affixed, the letters are rubbed by hand and disappear, or they become dirty with rainwater and cannot be read. If a name tag case was attached, the name tag case would get inside the umbrella when binding the umbrella, and it would be useless or the string would break and be lost.

[0004] When a name or the like is written on a band that binds the umbrella fabric portion, the band itself is inconspicuous, and there is a disadvantage that the name or the like is naturally difficult to read. Further, in each case, there is a disadvantage that the appearance of the umbrella itself is deteriorated because the display method of names and the like is not regularly arranged. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides an umbrella pattern that makes it easy to understand the display of names and the like and that the displayed names and the like can be kept in a beautiful state forever. The purpose is to:

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the following technical measures were taken to achieve the above object. That is, in the handle of the umbrella according to the present invention, a display surface portion covered with a transmissive cover is provided on a part of the outer peripheral portion of the handle. In other words, a name or the like can be written or a name sticker can be attached to the display surface, and the display by these is protected from contact with hands or rainwater by the cover that covers the display surface. Will be. Therefore, the display on the display surface is not erased or stained.

Of course, since the display surface can be seen through the cover, it is possible to easily identify the other umbrella. Needless to say, the umbrella handle is the most prominent part of the umbrella, even if the umbrella is inserted into the umbrella stand, etc. Therefore, providing the display surface here is very conspicuous.

[0007] Providing the display surface portion with the cover on the handle of the umbrella in this way does not lead to a deterioration in the appearance of the umbrella as a whole, since the structure is regular. Such a display surface portion can be formed by depressing a part of the outer periphery of the handle from the outer surface of the handle. By doing so, when the cover is mounted on the display surface, the surface of the cover can be flush with the outer surface of the surrounding pattern. Therefore, when holding an umbrella or the like, it is possible to hold the handle without discomfort. Also, the appearance can be improved.

In the handle of the umbrella, when the end on the side connected to the center rod of the umbrella (ie, the end face side where the insertion hole for inserting the center rod is provided) is a base, the display surface section is the base. It is preferable to position it closer. In this case, the position of the display surface portion is favorable from the viewpoints of appearance and visibility. In addition, a structure in which the cover is slid along the axial direction of the base can be adopted as a structure for attaching the cover to the display surface. This structure is advantageous in that the area around the cover and the display surface can be simplified and the cover can be easily mounted.

[0009] It is preferable that the cover is mounted on the display surface portion in such a manner that the cover can be repeatedly inserted through an appropriate concave / convex engagement means. This makes it easy to change the content of the display and as many times as you want. If a cover is provided with a finger hook that protrudes radially outward on the outer surface near the base, this finger hook can be used as a non-slip when holding an umbrella and slide the cover as described above. In the case of attaching and detaching, ease of operation is obtained.

When the cover is slidably attached and detached, the display surface is preferably provided in such a manner that one end of the recessed shape reaches the end surface of the base and is released. In this case, it is preferable to provide a waterproof wall for covering the open end of the display surface on the end face side of the base with respect to the cover. By providing this waterproof wall, it is possible to prevent rainwater or the like from entering between the display surface and the cover, and the display surface can be kept clean forever. In addition, in the case where a display sheet such as a name tag is stored in the display surface portion (when the display sheet is not attached), it is also useful to prevent the display sheet from escaping.

In the case of using the display sheet as described above (including a sticker with a name sticker or the like), a positioning recess is provided on the display surface portion so as to be useful for positioning and preventing rattling. Is preferred.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 8 show a first embodiment of an umbrella handle 1 according to the present invention. 1 and 2, the handle 1 of the umbrella has a base 5 at the end connected to the center rod 3 of the umbrella 2, and the end 5a of the base 5 has the center rod 3 attached thereto. An insertion hole 6 for insertion is provided.

A display surface 9 covered with a transparent cover 8 is provided on the outer periphery of the handle near the base 5. In the umbrella handle 1 shown in the first embodiment, the opposite side of the base 5 is largely curved so as to have a J-shape. The cross-sectional shape of the handle 1 of the umbrella is elliptical at the curved portion and circular as it approaches the base 5 (excluding the position where the display surface 9 is provided).

The display surface portion 9 and the cover 8 are so positioned that they can face each other (see the display) so that they can face each other when the curved portion is viewed from the inside of the winding (see the white arrow X in FIG. 1). Direction positioning is set. This is because, when the umbrella 2 inserted into the umbrella stand (not shown) is taken out, the tip of the above-mentioned curved portion is usually directed to the near side. This is because it is rational to be able to face the display surface 9 or the like so that the display can be easily viewed.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the display surface portion 9 extends the outer periphery of the handle around the base 5 from the handle outer surface 1a over a predetermined length in the axial direction (the same as the longitudinal direction of the center rod 3). It is provided by recessing. One end of the concave shape reaches the end face 5a of the base 5 and is released. The display surface portion 9 has a display stand 12 which is one step higher than the surface 9a which is the bottom side of the recess, and a name or the like can be directly written on the upper surface of the display stand 12 or a name tag can be written. And a display sheet 13 such as a name sticker can be placed or pasted thereon.

In the first embodiment, a positioning recess 14 is provided on the upper surface of the display table 12 so that the display sheet 13 can be stored in the positioning recess 14 (see FIG. 8). Therefore, when the display sheet 13 is pasted on the display base 12, the positioning recesses 14 serve as a guide for the positioning and can be neatly pasted. 14 prevents rattling and misalignment.

A pair of rails 16 are provided on both sides in the width direction of the display base 12 along the axial direction of the base 5. These rail portions 16 are for guiding the mounting of the cover 8 and for preventing the cover 8 from coming off radially outward with respect to the display surface portion 9 or causing rattling. . The rails 16 are provided with protrusions 17 protruding outward in the width direction at at least one position in the longitudinal direction. The projection 17 forms a convex side member of the concave / convex engaging means provided to prevent the cover 8 from coming off in the direction along the rail portion 16.

The cover 8 is formed of a transparent or colored transparent material (resin, glass, or the like), and has a shape in which a part of a cylindrical peripheral wall is cut off. In addition, the cover 8 is provided with a waterproof wall 20 that closes the open end of the display surface 9 on the end surface 5a side of the base 5. Therefore, when the cover 8 is attached to the display surface 9, the cover surface 8a is flush with the outer handle 1a, and the waterproof wall 20 is flush with the end surface 5a of the base 5. As a result, there is no uncomfortable feeling and the appearance is also refreshing.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the cover 8 is provided with a pair of guide pieces 21 projecting from both sides in the width direction so as to face each other. These guide pieces 21 can be engaged with the respective rails 16 provided on the display surface section 9 from both outer sides in the width direction thereof, and extend over substantially the entire length of the cover 8 in the longitudinal direction. Accordingly, the cover 8 can be mounted on the display surface 9 by sliding in the direction along the axial direction of the base 5.

The guide piece 21 is provided with a half-moon-shaped notch 22 at protruding edges facing each other. These notches 22 are provided in the rail portion 16 when the guide piece 21 is inserted to the innermost portion of the rail portion 16 (when the cover 8 is completely covered with respect to the display surface portion 9). The projections 17 are positioned so as to coincide with the projections 17, and the size of the cutouts 22 is such that the projections 17 can be engaged with the projections 17 without looseness, and preferably can be elastically engaged.

That is, the notch 22 forms a concave side member of the above-described concave / convex engaging means. By providing such a concave-convex engagement means (17, 22), the mounting of the cover 8 on the display surface section 9 can be repeated any number of times (that is, the cover 8 is detachable). I have. By the way, a ridge 26 protruding around the outer periphery of the handle is provided near the end face 5 a of the base 5 except for the mounting portion of the cover 8. The protruding ridges 26 are provided so that when the umbrella 2 is used with the umbrella 2 used, the hooks of the umbrellas 2 are improved to prevent slipping.

Therefore, it is preferable to provide the cover 8 with a finger hook 27 that projects radially outward in a manner corresponding to the projection 26 in position. The finger-holding portion 27 not only functions as the above-mentioned ridge 26 but also acts as a finger-holding portion when the cover 8 is slid and removed, that is, when the concave / convex engaging means (17, 22) is released. Can also be used.

In order to use the umbrella handle 1 having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 8, with the cover 8 removed, the upper surface of the display table 12 (in the positioning recess 14) on the display surface 9 is The name or the like is directly written, or the display sheet 13 on which the name or the like is written is placed or pasted. Then, the guide pieces 21 of the cover 8 are fitted into the rail portions 16 on both sides of the display table 12, and the concave and convex engaging means (17, 22) need only be engaged while sliding the cover 8 in the axial direction.

Thus, the display on the display surface section 9 can be read through the cover 8, and it is possible to easily and quickly identify the umbrella 2 by itself. In addition, since the cover 8 can be easily attached and detached and can be performed many times, rewriting of the name and the like and exchange of the display sheet 13 can be easily performed. When the display content is not to be changed or when the display is to be prevented from being changed by theft, the cover 8 may be fixed to the display surface 9 with an adhesive or the like.

FIG. 9 shows a second embodiment of the umbrella handle 1 according to the present invention. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the rail portion 16 serving as a guide when the cover 8 is slidably mounted on the display surface portion 9 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the handle of the base 5 (that is, the display portion). (A position separated from the bottom surface 9a of the surface portion 9). Therefore, both sides in the width direction of the display table 12 are upright surfaces without irregularities.

Along with this, in the cover 8, the guide pieces 21 are provided after extending both sides in the width direction to some extent in the circumferential direction. Other configurations, functions and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment. FIG. 10 shows a third embodiment of the umbrella handle 1 according to the present invention. In the third embodiment, the rail portion 16 is formed as a groove on the bottom surface 9a of the display surface portion 9 so as to sandwich both sides of the display stand 12 in the width direction. Therefore, also in the third embodiment, both sides in the width direction of the display table 12 are upright surfaces without irregularities.

On the other hand, the guide pieces 21 provided on the cover 8 are opposed to each other from both sides in the width direction of the cover 8 and project in an L-shaped cross section. In the third embodiment, even when the rail portion 16 and the guide piece 21 are engaged, the cover 8 cannot be prevented from coming off the display surface portion 9 in the radial direction.

In view of this, the cover 8 is provided with a pair of first locking pieces 30 projecting downward in an L-shape at the lower end of the waterproof wall 20, and an end opposite to the waterproof wall 20. Further, a second locking piece 31 protruding along the axial direction is provided. On the other hand, on the end face 5a of the base 5, a first engagement hole 33 for fitting the first locking piece 30 to prevent the cover 8 from floating when the cover 8 is mounted is provided. A step-down surface 1b extending from the surface 1a to a portion where the display surface portion 9 is formed has a second engagement hole 34 for receiving the second locking piece 31 when the cover 8 is mounted and preventing the cover 8 from floating. .

In the combination of the second locking piece 31 and the second engagement hole 34, the second locking piece 31 has a hook structure having a tapered portion and is elastically deformable. Accordingly, when the second locking piece 31 is inserted into the opening of the second engagement hole 34 in the axial direction, the second locking piece 31 is elastically deformed through the tapered portion, thereby preventing the engagement (pull-out prevention) in the axial direction. It is supposed to do. Therefore, the second engaging piece 31 is used as a convex side member and the second engaging hole 34 is used as a concave side member to form a concave / convex engaging means. As a result, the cover 8 with respect to the display surface 9 is The mounted state is maintained.

FIG. 11 shows a fourth embodiment of the umbrella handle 1 according to the present invention. In the fourth embodiment, the cover 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and is rotatable even after being mounted on the display surface section 9. Therefore, the cover 8 is entirely transparent. The cover 8 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and the bottom 8b is formed with an insertion hole 8c for the middle rod 3, and a projection is formed all around the bottom 8b. A strip-shaped finger hook 27 is provided. In addition, the bottom part 8b is useful in obtaining a water-proof action.

The portion of the base 5 where the display surface portion 9 is provided is formed to have a diameter slightly smaller than that of the other handle outer surface 1 a, and the cover 8 is fitted by fitting the cover 8 here. The surface 8a and the outer surface 1a of the handle are connected flush with each other all around. The cover 8 is provided with an annular ridge 36 protruding radially inward at the opening edge opposite to the bottom 8b, and is provided on the base 5 side when the cover 8 is attached. A circumferential groove 37 is provided which engages with the ridge 36, preferably elastically. In other words, the ridges 36 serve as convex members of the concave / convex engaging means, and the circumferential grooves 37 serve as concave members of the concave / convex engaging means, so that the cover 8 can be kept attached to the display surface 9. I have.

In the fourth embodiment, the cover 8 can be formed in a polygonal cylindrical shape. In this case, the cover 8 cannot be rotated after the cover 8 is attached to the display surface 9, so that it is possible to adopt a structure in which only the portion corresponding to the display surface 9 has transparency. FIG. 12 shows a fifth embodiment of the umbrella handle 1 according to the present invention.

In the fifth embodiment, the display surface portion 9 is provided to be long and curved in a direction along the periphery of the handle near the end surface 5 a of the base portion 5. Therefore, the cover 8 also has a shape in which the plate is curved in an arc shape and is capable of elastic deformation. In addition, engaging holes 40 are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the display surface portion 9, and hook-shaped engaging pieces 41 are provided on the cover 8 for engaging, preferably elastically engaging with these engaging holes 40. Have been. That is, the engaging hole 40 serves as a concave member of the concave / convex engaging means, and the engaging piece 41 serves as a convex member of the concave / convex engaging means, so that the cover 8 can be kept attached to the display surface 9. I have.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, the display surface section 9 can be located in the area to be gripped or be further forward than the end face 5a of the base section 5 in addition to being positioned near the end face 5a. The position in the circumferential direction is not limited at all. Further, the display surface section 9 can be provided so as not to be depressed at the outer peripheral portion of the handle of the base portion 5 and to remain flush with the outer surface 1a of the handle or to protrude from the outer surface 1a of the handle.

The shape of the handle 1 of the umbrella is such that the curved portion shown in FIG. 1 is changed into a bent shape such as an L-shape, or various gripping ball types not having these curved portions or bent portions. It is good also as thing of. In addition, the sectional shape and material of the umbrella handle 1 are not limited at all.

The display material can be made easily visible at night or the like by mixing a fluorescent material or the like into the material for forming the display sheet 13 or the cover 8.

[Effect of the invention]

 As is apparent from the above description, the umbrella handle according to the present invention has a display surface covered with a transparent cover on a part of the outer periphery of the handle, and a name or the like is written on the display surface. Since a name sticker can be attached, it is easy to distinguish one umbrella from another. In addition, these displays are protected by the cover and are kept intact.

If the display surface has a concave structure, the surface of the cover can be flush with the outer surface of the handle, and the touch and appearance can be improved. When the display surface is closer to the base, it is preferable from the viewpoint of appearance and easiness of viewing. By making the cover detachable from the display surface, the display contents can be changed easily and repeatedly.

By providing the cover with a finger hook, various conveniences in use can be achieved. Providing a waterproof wall on the cover is more preferable for keeping the display surface clean. Providing the positioning recess in the display surface portion is suitable for positioning the display sheet, preventing rattling, and the like.
