DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the umbrella stand device of the present embodiment is used by embedding it in a wall surface with the front surface flush with the wall surface.
Instead of being embedded in the wall surface, it is also possible to fix it on the wall surface with a bolt or the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella stand 1 basically includes a fixing member 2, a lid 3, a partition frame member 4, a water tray 7 and an opening / closing drive mechanism.

As shown in the cross section of FIG. 3, the fixing member 2 is hollow so that the front surface of the fixing member 2 can accommodate the partition frame member 4, the water receiving tray 7, the opening / closing drive mechanism, and the like. Lid 3
Is formed to have a size capable of closing the entire opening of the fixing member 2 except the water receiving tray 7. The lid 3 is rotatably supported by the fixed member 2 at a fulcrum 30.

The partition frame member 4 is a frame member for partitioning the umbrella into a grid or the like for storing the umbrella, and a fulcrum 41 at one end is rotatably attached to the fixing member 2 so that it can be stored in the fixing member 2. Lid 3
Between the lid 3 and the fixing member 2 during use.
It is used by arranging it between and as shown in FIG.
A roller 40 is provided at the other end of the partition frame member 4 on the side opposite to the fulcrum 41. When the partition frame member 4 is bridged between the partition frame member 4 and the lid body 3, the roller 40 runs along the inside of the lid body 3. , Rotated upwards. The lid 3 has a locking portion 3 protruding inward at its upper end.
1 is provided to lock the partition frame member 4 and the roller 40 that are pushed up. The opening / closing drive mechanism is specifically composed of a gas spring 5 as an elastic body and an oil damper (not shown).

The gas spring 5 applies a pressing force to the outside by compressing the gas in the cylinder. The gas spring 5 has a lower end 51 on the piston lot side pivotally mounted in the fixing member 2 and an upper end 5 on the cylinder side.
0 is pivotally attached at a portion of approximately 1/3 of the partition frame member 4 on the fixed member side. The gas spring 5 is in a compressed state at the time of storage (FIG. 4). Once the lid 3 is opened, the fixing of the partition frame member 4 is released, so that the piston rod of the gas spring 5 extends, Thus, the roller 40 is rotated and pushed up until the partition frame member 4 is locked by the locking portion 31 of the lid body 3. At the time of use, a pressing force is constantly applied to the partition frame member 4 to support it at the use position (FIG. 3). The gas springs are arranged on both sides of the partition frame member 4.

At this time, if the pressing force of the gas spring 5 is too strong, the partition frame member 4 may be suddenly lifted and a hand or the like may be caught between the partition frame member 4 and the gas spring 5. , A damper such as an oil damper is provided, and the partition frame member 5
You may make it slow the speed of pushing up. Alternatively, a gas spring having a low pressure value may be selected.

FIG. 7 shows a model of the arrangement of the gas springs and the partition frame members of FIGS. 3 and 4. Figure 3,
In the case of FIG. 4, the gas spring 5 is always arranged on the left side on the lid side of the line connecting the fulcrum 41 of the partition frame member and the fulcrum 51 at one end of the gas spring. Therefore, the gas spring 5 presses in the direction of the arrow, so that the partition frame member 4 is in a state in which a force of rotating in the clockwise L direction about the fulcrum 41 acts. For this reason, at the time of storage, locking means are provided and fixed at corresponding positions of the upper end of the back side of the lid body 3 and the fixing member 2 so that the lid body 3 will not be opened by the pressing force of the gas spring 5. It For example, as shown in FIG. 10, a push-type magnet locking means 32 that is locked by the first pressing and released by the second pressing is suitable. The locking means is not limited to the magnet but may be a snap fit type or the like.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the gas spring 5 is arranged on the right side of the fixing member side with respect to the line connecting the fulcrums 41 and 51 during storage. This is the state of FIG. 9, and the pressing force of the gas spring 5 causes the partition frame member 4 to move in the direction of arrow R.
Acts to rotate to. Therefore, when it is arranged on the right side of the fulcrums 41 and 51, it acts in the direction of housing the partition frame member 4.

When the lid 3 is pulled open by a handle or the like from the stored state shown in FIG. 6, the gas spring 5 may be located on the fulcrums 41 and 51. this is,
As shown in FIG. 8, since the gas spring 5 is in the neutral state, no force acts on the partition frame member 4, and the partition frame member is in a stationary state. Further, when the lid 3 is pulled forward and the gas spring 5 is located on the left side of the fulcrums 41, 51, the pressing force of the gas spring acts as a pressing force for rotating the partition frame member 4 to the left side. It becomes the same state as. Therefore, since the partition frame member 4 is pressed, the roller of the partition frame member rotates and moves upward along the lid body 3, and is locked at the upper end of the lid body 3 to fix the partition frame material. Member 2
It is bridged between the lid 3 and the lid 3 and placed in a used state.

On the contrary, in the embodiment of FIG. 5, if the lid 3 is closed when the umbrella stand is stored, the partition frame member 4 is rounded as shown in FIG. 9 after the neutral state of FIG. Since a force in the direction acts, it is automatically housed in the fixing member 2 together with the lid body 3 connected to the partition frame member 4. Therefore, in the embodiment of FIG.
Since the lid body 3 is always pressed in the R direction at the time of storage, the partition frame member 4 does not always push the lid body 3 so as to open it. Therefore, the lid body 3 is locked to the fixing member 2. A locking means such as a magnet is unnecessary. However, in this case,
As described above, in order to pull out the lid body 3, it is necessary to provide a concave handle or the like.

As shown in FIG. 3, the water receiving tray 7 is formed in a U shape having a concave bottom side so that water can collect on the bottom surface. Further, the bottom surface side of the fixing member 2 is slidably engaged, and the collected water can be drawn out and discarded.

An inclined plate 6 which is inclined at a predetermined angle is attached to the wall surface inside the fixing member 2 so that the water from the umbrella tip flows down into the water receiving tray 7.

As shown in FIG. 1, if the umbrella stand device of this embodiment is installed so as to be embedded in the wall surface, the umbrella stand device does not project from the wall surface except in rainy weather and does not become an obstacle. In addition to the wall-mounting type, it may be simply placed along the wall surface. In this case, since the movable casters are provided on the lower surface, the movable casters can be freely moved, so that when not in use, they can be stored in a storeroom or the like.

Next, another embodiment of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 11, a storage portion 8 for storing a planter or the like is provided on the upper portion. The storage part 8
The inner surface is coated with an aluminum material. By arranging flowers such as planters, foliage plants, etc. in the storage section 8, there is an effect that even if the flower is placed in a place such as a reception desk, there is no disturbing feeling. In the present embodiment, the planter is stored, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an ornament such as an aquarium for storing tropical fish, which is entertaining to the eyes of the human, may be installed.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the partition frame member, the water tray and the opening / closing drive mechanism can be housed in the fixing member, the space on the floor can be saved when the umbrella stand is not used. There is an effect that it is possible to do so and it does not interfere with traffic. Further, since the partitioning frame material is automatically assembled by the opening / closing drive mechanism only by pulling out the lid, there is an effect that the assembling work is not required.

Further, by providing a storage part for storing ornamental items such as a planter on the upper part, it is possible to improve the aesthetics of the building as well as not giving an uncomfortable feeling even when not used as an umbrella stand. effective.

Furthermore, by providing casters on the lower surface, the casters can be freely moved and can be easily installed at any place.
