Description

  The present invention relates to an umbrella cover, and in particular, is shaped into a small individual that has been folded to reduce its volume, and can be freely opened and used with an umbrella.

The known umbrellas can be divided into a folding umbrella 10 as shown in FIG. 3 or a general umbrella 20 as shown in FIG. 5 by an unfolding umbrella that cannot be folded. . In general, the foldable umbrella 10 or the general long umbrella 20 is sold, or when the umbrella is folded, an umbrella cover 30 having the same waterproof and water-repellent effect as the normal umbrella cloth on the outer surface of the umbrella cloth, Cover 30a. On the one hand, this is to enhance the aesthetics when selling umbrellas, as shown in FIGS. Another reason is to prevent the rainwater from leaking outside by covering the umbrella covers 30 and 30a with umbrellas when it is desired to bring the umbrellas already wet in the rain to a public place. However, since the umbrella covers 30 and 30a are separated from the umbrella device, they are lost when the umbrella covers 30 and 30a are not used after being removed from the umbrella device. Absent. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, a user who pays attention to the umbrella cover usually ties and fixes the umbrella covers 30, 30a on the umbrella strap 12 installed on the umbrella head 11 of the general folding umbrella 10. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 5, it is tied and fixed on the umbrella head 21 of the general long umbrella 20 and carried with the umbrella so that it is not lost. However, the portable system of the umbrella cover 30 shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 is basically inferior in aesthetics and lowers the utility value of the umbrella cover. If the user does not need the umbrella cover 30, it is an unnecessary item and is not worth attaching the umbrella cover, but the cost of the umbrella cover only increases. On rainy days, when entering a public place such as a department store or office building with an umbrella, always prepare to prevent rainwater on the umbrella from spilling on the ground and slipping or becoming dirty Or put an umbrella in a long plastic bag provided free of charge, but a long plastic bag is a plastic article that is thrown away after use, and is generally collected and not reused. Does not match environmental protection.
