Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage cover for a western umbrella, and provides a storage cover for a western umbrella which is highly portable and easy to handle when the umbrella is wet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since bringing a wet umbrella into a crowded train wets other people's clothes and is a great nuisance, and bringing it into a passenger car wets the inside of the car, many covers of wet umbrellas are used. It has been devised. Most of them pursued compactness, portability and easy handling.

The prior art is one in which a container is attached to a stone projection of an umbrella to store a cover as in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-276018, and one in which a container is folded and the container is folded as in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-139320. Be represented.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a cover for a western umbrella which is excellent in portability and easy to handle when the umbrella is wet.

Taking Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-276018 as an example, the cover accommodating cylinder needs a certain amount of volume, and is inevitably large in size. In particular, the existence of the shape retention frame hinders miniaturization. If the size of the cover is reduced when it is stored, the cover material must be thin, which causes a problem in durability.

[0006] As in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-139320, the bellows type has a large volume and is inconvenient to carry.

Therefore, the following matters are required. It is extremely small and lightweight, can be put on a western umbrella and can be used quickly if necessary, it is easy to operate to put on and store the cover, and it is put on while holding the umbrella. The umbrella cover does not get in the way and does not damage the appearance.

[0008]

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a western elongated umbrella bag is formed by forming a tubular elongated bag from a stretchable and flexible material such as rubber which is impermeable to water. The cover.

A large number of irregularities are provided on the body of the umbrella cover. The unevenness may be a set of circles, squares, or irregular shapes, or a bellows-type crease in which valleys and peaks extend in the longitudinal direction.

A tightening tool for maintaining the rolled shape of the umbrella bag is arranged near the tip of the western umbrella cover.

It is possible to form a zone without folds or a zone with a thick wall as a ring around the umbrella bag near the tip of the western umbrella cover to provide a fastening tool.

The same effect can be obtained by arranging a retainer for receiving the rolled up umbrella cover and preventing the cover from spreading, instead of disposing the clamp.

As shown in FIG. 1, a rubber ring or the like, which also serves as a reinforcement for the rubber curtain forming the umbrella bag, is formed at the tip of the umbrella bag as an attachment to the umbrella. Insert the pebbles into the holes of the attachment so that the umbrella bag can be fixed to the pebbles by elastic force or adhesion of rubber. If the butt is a screw type, you can remove the butt and fix it by sandwiching the attachment between the umbrella cloth and the butt.

In use, the umbrella bag is turned upside down from the entrance and wound up like a ring, and attached by the above method.

At the time of storing the umbrella, the umbrella bag is squeezed out from the butt of the umbrella toward the handle. Also, when using an umbrella, conversely squeeze the umbrella bag from the handle of the umbrella toward the stone butt.

When the umbrella bag is rolled up, the rolled-up portion becomes a rubber ring shape, and as the number of rotations of winding increases, the thickness increases and winding becomes difficult. By having the unevenness, the unevenness is extended on the outside of the ring of the ring-shaped umbrella bag, and the winding of the umbrella bag is facilitated.

The above effect is remarkable when the bellows-type folds in which the valleys and peaks extend in the longitudinal direction of the umbrella bag are formed in the body of the umbrella bag. On the outside of the ring-shaped umbrella bag that has been rolled up and increased in thickness, the folds extend to facilitate winding.

The rolled umbrella bag has an unstable shape and tries to return to its original shape. When the umbrella is opened, the umbrella bag can be turned upside down and unfolded, so a fastener is placed near the tip of the umbrella bag to maintain the shape.

By forming a zone with no irregularities near the tip of the umbrella bag at a right angle to the longitudinal direction and as a ring that makes almost one turn around the umbrella bag, a fastener for a rolled umbrella bag can be obtained. .

As the umbrella bag is wound, the umbrella bag takes on a ring shape and increases in thickness, but the unevenness of the trunk portion of the umbrella bag extends to allow natural winding. If you try to wind up a flat area near the tip, the umbrella bag will be greatly stretched and you will need to wind it up. The shape stabilizes after one rotation and the flat area approaches the umbrella.

Similarly, by arranging a thick zone as a ring that makes almost one turn around the umbrella bag, the same effect as described above is exhibited, and the force to unwind is suppressed and the rolled shape is maintained.

By providing a presser for receiving the rolled-up ring-shaped umbrella bag on the stone stake, it is possible to maintain the shape of the rolled-up ring-shaped umbrella bag without a tightening tool.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The umbrella bag 1 of the present invention is formed of a rubber-like thin film into an elongated tubular shape.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a body in which the present invention is mounted on a western umbrella. When the umbrella is stored, the umbrella bag 1b wound into a ring shape is directed from the direction of the butt 2 of the umbrella toward the handle 3. That is, the umbrella bag 1b that is wound into a ring shape is stretched out in the direction of the upward arrow, and is stretched.

In order to remove the umbrella bag to use the umbrella, conversely, the umbrella is rolled up from the direction of the handle 3 of the umbrella toward the butt 2, that is, in the direction of the downward arrow to form a ring-shaped umbrella. Squeeze the bag 1b and wind the umbrella bag.

A large number of irregularities 4 are arranged on the body of the umbrella bag,
The rolled umbrella bag becomes ring-shaped and increases in thickness. As the number of rotations of the winding increases, the umbrella bag is stretched and becomes difficult to wind, but the distortion formed by the unevenness 4 extends to enable the winding.

A fastener 5 is provided near the tip of the umbrella bag to prevent the wound umbrella bag from unwinding and stretching.

At the tip of the umbrella bag, a rubber ring attachment 6 is formed as (large) 6a, (middle) 6b, and (small) 6c.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view including a partial sectional view in which the tip end of the present invention in a wound state is cut out and the number of irregularities 4 is omitted.

When the umbrella bag is wound up, the diameter L1 of the umbrella bag before being wound up is extended to the diameter L2 in the wound state. The length of the cross section 1c when the umbrella bag is cut in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is longer than the outer circumference of the umbrella bag due to the unevenness. The unevenness 4b that is wound up and located outside the ring has the unevenness 4 before being wound up flattened out to facilitate winding up.

FIG. 3 is a side view including a partial cross section showing the state of being wound according to the present invention. The umbrella bag 1b is wound up to the end around a winding core 7 formed at the end of the umbrella bag to form a ring shape.

In the case where the tightening tool 5 is provided by providing a zone having no unevenness as a ring around the umbrella bag near the tip of the umbrella bag to form the tightening tool 5, when the tightening tool 5 comes to the outside of the ring, it is greatly extended. The power to wind up becomes stronger. The shape stabilizes as you climb over the outside of the ring or the outside of the ring and approach the inside. This prevents the umbrella bag 1b from being rolled up into a ring shape and tightened to prevent the umbrella bag 1b from unwinding and returning to its original shape.

When a rubber ring is attached to the tip of the umbrella bag, the attachment 6 is (large) 6a, (middle) 6b, (small).
Although it is formed as 6c, unnecessary attachments are cut out and used while leaving a size suitable for mounting according to the thickness of the ridge.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a perspective view including a partial cross section in which the intermediate portion of the present invention in which the bellows type folds are made uneven as the trunk of the umbrella bag is cut out and omitted.

A winding core 7 which also functions as a reinforcement for the umbrella bag is provided around the entrance 8 of the umbrella bag, and a trough 9 is formed in the longitudinal direction on the trunk of the umbrella bag.
Arrange a bellows-type fold 9 where b and peak 9c extend. In the case where the belly bag body has the bellows-type folds 9 formed on the body, the ease of winding is remarkable.

FIG. 5 is an overhead view of the present invention having a bellows-type fold line 9 in a state in which the entire body is rolled up. As shown in the figure, even if the loop becomes thick due to the presence of the folds, the folds on the outer side of the loop are stretched to prevent the tightening from becoming strong.

FIG. 6 is a side view including a partial cross-section of the present invention, which is shown by enlarging it in the longitudinal direction and reducing it in the longitudinal direction without winding it.
This is an example in which a part of the body fold is removed and a portion 1d with a fold and a portion 1e without a fold are formed to provide a pattern.

The folds of the body part can be laid on the whole body part except for the part where the creases 5 are formed by forming a crease-free zone as a ring that almost circles the umbrella bag near the tip, and can be laid on the whole body part in a checkered pattern or a drawing. It is possible to omit a part of the fold, such as a V-shaped continuation.

Eliminating a part of the body folds has the effect of fixing the root of the folds and preventing the folds from being stretched and overspread.

Although it is possible to omit a part of the unevenness of the body part other than the bellows-type fold line, when an unspecified location of the body part of the umbrella bag is cut in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the umbrella bag, any cross section Even in this case, it is desirable that the ratio of the uneven portion and the uneven portion is constant.

The distance from the valley 9b to the peak 9c is approximately 0.
It can be about 1 mm to 5 mm, and the size and shape of the unevenness can be selected for the purpose of decoration and the like.
Further, by changing the combination of the uneven portion and the uneven portion, there are various possibilities for decoration.

It is also possible to provide a non-recessed portion at a required portion of the umbrella bag body to tighten the shape of the umbrella bag.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view including a partial cross section of a retainer for fixing the western umbrella cover described in claim 4 to the umbrella.

The retainer is composed of a tray 10 and a fixing portion 12 having a hole 11 in the center.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing a body attached to the umbrella of the retainer according to the fourth aspect. The butt 2 is fixed through the hole of the retainer, and the umbrella bag 1b wound up into a ring shape is received by the tray 10 to prevent the umbrella bag from returning to its original shape.

[0047]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

According to the present invention, since it is formed of a thin film of rubber-like material and can be wound up, it can be made into a very compact shape when attached to an umbrella.

If the fitting is a rubber ring, it is easy to put on and take off.

Since the rolled-up body is very compact, it can be left on the umbrella when the umbrella is used, and the western umbrella cover does not get in the way and the appearance is not damaged. or,
It can be left on and can be prevented from being lost.

Since the umbrella bag can be wound up and stretched by simply squeezing the winding core, it is easy to cover and store the cover even when the umbrella is wet. .

It is possible to give a wide range of possibilities for decoration by changing the size and shape of the unevenness to be attached to the body portion or the shape of the portion having no unevenness and the combination thereof.
