【発明が属する技術分野】
本発明は、2段折り畳み傘における折り畳み機構に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の2段折畳み傘は、一旦展開した傘を折り畳む際に、逐一傘骨を折り畳む操作を行い、その上で傘布を折り畳む必要があった。
この操作は雨の中で使用して濡れた後であるため、手を濡らすなどして煩わしく、概ね傘を窄めたままの状態で持ち歩き、あるいはそのまま保管することが多いが、このような状態では持ち歩く際にも折り畳み傘としての利便性は失われ、反って不自由なものであった。
【0003】
これに対して、3段に折り畳む構造としてスプリングの弾発力を利用して傘を拡げると共に、折畳む際にもスプリングにより傘骨を折畳む機構を実現したものがあるが、機構上折畳まれた傘布の濡れた面が外側になるため、傘布に触れた手や衣服が濡れることとなり、また、3段に折畳まれた傘骨がスプリングを仕込んだ機構と共に重なり合って嵩張るため、折角のコンパクトな利便性を損なうことに難点がある。
【0004】
折畳み傘において、その傘の開閉操作によって単純に傘骨の展開、折畳みを行うことができれば良いのであるが、傘布を傘骨上に展張した洋傘は、傘を開いた状態で傘骨によって展張された傘布がその張力によって傘骨を湾曲せしめてその開いた状態での形状を堅牢に保つ機能を有する。この作用は、折畳み傘であっても同様であって、このため、傘の開閉操作に連動させて傘骨の折畳み機構を働かせようとすると、傘の開閉操作の途中でこの張力が傘骨の折り畳み機構に強い抵抗力を及ぼし、傘を開く際には上半分が窄まったままで展開したり、また、折畳む際にも連動機構に強い抵抗を与えて円滑な操作に支障をきたすこととなる。
【0005】
すなわち、傘布は平面的な円形形状ではなく、立体的に湾曲した曲面から構成されているのであって、一方傘の骨組みは放射状に展開した傘骨が直線的に延長した形状とされていて、傘が開いた状態ではその周縁部では傘布の周長に対して傘骨先端の露先の描く周長のほうが大きい。このため、傘が開いた状態では、傘骨先端は展張した傘布に周縁から絞り込まれて湾曲した状態となる。図10は、このような傘布を設けないで傘を開いた状態と傘布を張って展開した状態とを示す。
【0006】
したがって、2段折り畳み傘において、予め折り畳まれた状態から傘を広げる操作に連動させてスムーズに傘を開げようとすると図11に示すように、支骨30によって親骨を押し上げる操作と共に折畳み骨40が外側に向かって開いて行く必要があるが、折畳み骨先端の隣り合う露先Rの間隔が、露先の間の予め設定された傘布の幅と等しくなった時点で傘布外周長は最大となるから、露先は傘布の張力によってそれ以上外径方向に広がることはできず、湾曲することとなる。
【0007】
すなわち、傘布の伸びなどを無視すると、図11において傘骨が展開してその傘布を固定した露先の外周が傘布の外周と等しくなったとき、図11の一点鎖線の位置になるが、そのときの傘軸10と親骨20とのなす角度α、及び傘軸と折畳み骨40とのなす角度γに対して、折畳み骨と親骨とのなす角度βは、β=α+γの関係にある。そして、傘布の張力のように露先Rから支骨に傘軸方向に働く力があると、γが90°を境に±何れか応じてそれぞれ反対方向に分力が働くため、γが90°よりも小さいと傘布の張力は折畳み骨先端を引き戻す方向に働いて折畳み骨は折り畳まれ、また、γが90°より大きいと反対に外側に開く方向に働く。
【0008】
したがって、折り畳み状態から傘を開く操作によってスムーズに展開するためには、この時点においてγが予め90°を超えるようにしなければならない。また、傘を折り畳む際には、これとは逆となるが、実際には傘布の張力は傘を窄めて折り畳む方向にしか作用しないから、傘布の張力は問題とはならない。
さらにこのような折り畳み傘の展開、折り畳み操作においては、傘布を展張する折畳み骨を親骨に対して180度回動して折畳まなければならない。このため、折り畳み骨を単純なクランク機構によって回動させようとすると、回動操作の両端において操作する力の作用方向が正反対となる上・下死点の問題を生じ、傘を開閉する初動操作が困難となる。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上記の問題に鑑み、2段折り畳み傘においてその特徴を損なうことなく、下ロクロの摺動操作による傘の開閉操作に連動して円滑に傘を開げ,且つ窄めて折り畳むことのできる構造とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、親骨の先端部に回動可能に連結した折畳み骨を設け、下ロクロと親骨とに回動可能に支骨を連結して、下ロクロの摺動操作によって開閉する2段折り畳み傘において、
折畳み骨の親骨との上記連結点の親骨側延長部に折畳み骨を回動する駆動骨の一端を枢着したリンク機構により、下ロクロの摺動操作による支骨又は親骨の回動を拡大して折畳み骨の回動操作を行い、その傘を開く際の回動角度を折畳み骨先端に傘布の張力が働く以前に予め折畳み骨と傘軸とのなす角度が90°を越えるようにしてなる2段折り畳み傘である。
【0011】
そして上記リンク機構をなす駆動骨を操作する機構として、駆動骨を親骨と支骨とを連結すると共に支骨に対して摺動可能とした補助骨の中間に回動可能に枢着したもの、
或いは、上記支骨を屈曲した形状、若しくは屈折可能に構成し、その親骨側の位置に上記リンク機構をなす駆動骨を回動可能に枢着したことを特徴とする、又は、上記リンク機構をなす駆動骨を支骨又は上ロクロ下部に設けた固定ロクロに回動可能に枢着すると共に、駆動骨を伸縮可能な構造として折畳み骨の駆動操作に伴う駆動骨の動作長を調整してなるものである。
【0012】
さらにこれらの構造において、上記駆動骨を弾発性を有する材料とし、又は弾発性部材を駆動骨に組み込み,或いは別途設けることにより、少なくとも開傘操作の後段階において傘を開く操作によってこれらに反発力を蓄え、その反発力によって傘を閉じる際の初動操作を容易にした2段折り畳み傘である。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の折り畳み構造とその作動態様を図に基づいて以下に具体的に説明する。各図において()内に示した数字は傘の開閉操作の手順を表し、傘を開いて行く順に(1)、(2)、…で示す。
図1において、傘軸10上端の上ロクロ11を中心に傘骨が連結点P3を介して放射状に回動可能に設けられており、傘骨は中心から親骨20及び親骨の親骨先端具21に連結点P1を介して回動可能に設けられた折畳み骨40からなり、傘軸に摺動可能に設けられた下ロクロ12と親骨とがそれぞれ連結点P4,P2を介して支骨30と回動可能に連結されており、下ロクロの上下摺動操作により、傘骨を開閉させる構造は従来のものと変わらない。
【0014】
本発明においては、親骨20の先端部に回動可能に連結した折畳み骨40を親骨にほぼ平行に配置した駆動骨50によって回動させることによって、傘を開いて行く際に傘骨の折畳み骨先端に傘布の張力が働くようになる以前に予め折畳み骨を充分に大きな角度に展開させ、上記した傘布の張力により傘の展張が妨げられることを防止すると共に、円滑に開閉できるようにするものである。
【0015】
図1に、その構造の概略を示すが、親骨先端の親骨先端具21に連結点P1を介して回動可能に設けられた折畳み骨の親骨側延長部に連結点Q1を介して駆動骨50を連結し、これに対して一端を親骨に連結点P5で回動可能に連結され,他端を支骨に摺動可能に連結された補助骨33(図4参照)に該駆動骨の他端をQ2で回動可能に連結してなる。本発明は、この駆動骨を下ロクロの上下摺動操作に伴う支骨の運動に連動させて操作し、折畳み骨の回動角度を制御する。
【0016】
図1は傘を開閉する際の途中の状態を示すが、上述のようにいわゆる洋傘では、傘を開いて行く過程で露先Rに傘布の張力が働いて、露先Rと傘軸10との距離が制限され,このため、上記の張力が作用し始める前に折り畳み骨40を十分大きく回動させておかないと親骨と折り畳み骨とがV字状になって傘を開くことができなくなる。
図1はこのような張力が作用し始める開傘状態を示すものであって、この後、更に傘を開いて行くと上記の張力は折り畳み傘を開いて行くための助力として作用する。このため、後述するように折り畳み骨を押し戻すような反発力を働かせても傘は円滑に開いて図2に示すとおりに展開することができる。
図3(a)〜(e)は、親骨20と折畳み骨40及び駆動骨50の連結の態様を示す拡大図であり、折畳み骨の回動動作とその際に作用する上記反発力の形態の一例を示す。親骨20は、U字状の断面形状を有して傘を開閉する駆動骨50をその凹部内に納めて構造をコンパクトにする工夫がなされている。
【0017】
図3(a)〜(e)に基づき折畳み骨の回動動作と上記反発力の効果について説明する。
図3(a)に示すように折畳み骨一端には折畳み骨端具41が設けられており、親骨先端具21の内側で連結点P1にて連結され,また、駆動骨50は折畳み骨端具の内側でQ1にて折畳み骨端具に連結されている。この構成により、駆動骨の親骨にほぼ平行な駆動操作によってQ1はP1を中心として半円軌道上を回動し、折畳み骨を回動させる。
また、図3(c)に示すように折畳み骨を回動して傘を展開して行くと、親骨先端具21の先端に当たって図上これ以上時計回りに回動することを阻止されて、親骨と完全に一直線にならないようにされており、傘を閉じる際の初動操作を容易にしている。なお、P1とQ1との距離は3〜6mmを想定しているが、これらの条件は傘の寸法・形状により変わるものであるから、設計上この範囲に制約されるものではない。
【0018】
本例においては駆動骨50にピアノ線のようなバネ線材を用い、連結点Q1の近傍で図示するように適度に曲げ,ここを駆動骨屈曲部51とする。折畳み骨端具41を図3(d)に示すように断面U字状に形成し、Q1を通る軸を介して駆動骨を連結すると、図3(e)に示すように折畳み骨が一定の回動角度に達したときその端縁部が駆動骨屈曲部近傍に当たる。図3(b)は、図(e)と同一の状態であり、図3(b)の状態から折畳み骨40を傘が開く方へ(図上時計回りに)回動すると、駆動骨には駆動骨全体が連結点P1を中心に回転するように力が働き、結果として駆動骨は図3(c)に示すように図上駆動骨屈曲部の左側で緩やかに湾曲して撓むことにより反発力を蓄える。
【0019】
本発明においては、前記したように傘を開いて行く段階で傘布の張力は折畳み骨を開くための助力として作用するため、図3(b)の状態からさらに傘を開くときは傘布の張力により上記反発力に抗して折畳み骨を回動させて傘を押し開くと共に駆動骨を湾曲せしめて図3(c)の状態に至る。図3(c)は、折畳み骨を展開し、傘が完全に開いた状態である。
また、逆に図3(c)の状態から傘を閉じる際には上記の蓄えられた反発力による復元力が駆動骨の初動操作を助けて一定に角度まで折畳み骨を折り畳む方向に回動させて図3(b)に示す状態に至るため、初動時の上下死点の状態を脱して以後、下ロクロによる円滑な駆動操作が可能となる。
なお、駆動骨に細いバネ線材を用いるときは、駆動操作の過程において不都合な撓みの発生に備えて図1に示すように親骨のU字状断面の開放面を覆ってバネ線材の突出を防止する駆動骨保持具22を付加することが望ましい。
【0020】
次に図3(a)に基づき傘を折り畳んだ状態について説明する。
図3(a)の傘を折り畳んだ状態において線分P11が駆動骨50に平行なときは、駆動骨に多少力を加えて折畳み骨を図上右側に押しても折畳み骨はいわゆるクランク機構の上下死点に相当するため回動する方向への力は働かず、不安定できちっと折り畳んだ状態を維持することは難しい。
1の位置を図上やや下側に設定して線分P11と駆動骨とが僅かな角度を(5°程度でも)なすように設計すると上記した折畳み骨の安定性に効果があるが、傘を開いたときに図3(c)においてQ1が図上やや上側に来て今度は傘を閉じる際の駆動骨の作用点が反対側に来ることとなって、大きな障害になる。
【0021】
本発明は、前記したように傘を開く際に蓄えた駆動骨の反発力を利用して、傘を折り畳む際の初動操作開始時にある一定の角度まで折畳み骨を折り畳む方向に回動させて上下死点から脱するため、上記のようなQ1の位置設定に余裕を持たせることができる。
駆動骨によって折畳み骨の開傘時の回動角度を大きくする手段は、以下の実施例を示すように、種々の構造をとすることができるが、いずれの構造においても開傘時の上記の傘布の張力による影響を解消できるのであり、また同時に傘布の張力を利用して、開傘時に反発力を蓄えるように駆動骨或いは駆動骨の作動機構或いは別途開傘時の後半の過程で作用するバネなどを組み込んでおくことにより、折り畳み時の初動操作を円滑にすることができる。
【0022】
【実施例】
以下、図4〜8は、傘を開く過程において露先に傘布の張力が作用するまでに折り畳み骨を十分大きく回動させることを目的とした構造例を示す。上記目的は、一定の親骨回動角(図1において、∠P134)或いは支骨回動角(図1において、∠P124)に対して折畳み骨を充分に大きく回動させることによって達成できる。
標準的な2段折り畳み傘においては,親骨回動角が50°(或いは支骨回動角が100°)以下で折畳み骨を140°以上回動させることが目安になる。もちろん、傘の設計次第で上記目安は緩和できる。
実施例1.
図4は、本発明のこれらの構造例を図示したものである。
親骨20の支骨30との連結点P2から親骨の先端部側に適当な距離を隔てた部位に連結点P5を設けて、ここに補助骨33の一端を回動可能に連結し、補助骨の他端を連結点Q3として支骨に回動且つ摺動可能に連結すると共に、上記連結点P5と連結点Q3との距離を上記連結点P2と連結点P5との距離よりも適度に大きく設定してなる補助骨を配置し、該補助骨の適当な部位に連結点Q2を設けてここに駆動骨の一端を回動可能に連結して駆動操作をする。
【0023】
傘を開く過程で支骨30は図上(1),(2),(3),(4)の順にP2を中心に回動する。
これに伴って、補助骨33もQ3を介してP5を中心に回動し、Q2に連結された駆動骨50によって折畳み骨端具のQ1(図3参照)を駆動操作する。Q1とQ2の動作を整合したとき、距離P52は距離P11(図3参照)にほぼ等しく、Q2の回動角(∠P152)は、折畳み骨回動角にほぼ等しい。したがって、支骨の回動角に対して折畳み骨の回動角を大きくすることができる。また、傘の折り畳み構造に応じて距離P53を変えることによってQ2の回動角を増減することにより、前記目的が達成できることが明らかである。
【0024】
図4(b)は、補助骨33の製造例であり、ピアノ線のような線材を加工して実現できる。連結点Q3はその内径を棒状の支骨30の外径よりも僅かに大きく設定することによって、支骨上を回動し乍ら摺動することができる。
また、駆動骨や補助骨をこれらの細い素材で形成することにより、傘を折り畳んだとき,補助骨を駆動骨と共にU字状の親骨の内部に納めることができる。
【0025】
実施例2.
図5は、さらに他の構造例であって、主支骨31の一端を下ロクロとの連結点P4に、主支骨の他端を連結点Q4として副支骨32の一端に連結し、さらに副支骨の他端を親骨との連結点P2にそれぞれ回動可能に連結し、或いは、上記連結点Q4において主支骨と副支骨との回動角を制限するように連結し、副支骨の適当な部位に連結点Q2を設けてここに駆動骨の一端を回動可能に連結して駆動操作する構造とする。
副支骨がP2を中心に回動するとQ2に連結された駆動骨50によってQ1(図3参照)を介して折畳み骨を駆動操作する。
また、線分P24を想定して、下ロクロの操作によって該線分P24がP2を中心に回動すると、親骨20が回動する。傘を開く過程で主支骨はその軸方向にQ4を押して副支骨を回動させ、図の過程(1)から(2)に至る。このとき、Q4が傘軸(図1の10)に当たって親骨が僅かに回動するが実質的には折畳み骨だけが一定の角度だけ回動する。
連結点Q4にて主支骨と副支骨との回動角を制限しなければ主支骨が親骨にほぼ平行なまま、副支骨を回動させ、親骨が閉じたまま折畳み骨を開いて行き、その後親骨が回動して傘を開くことになる。
【0026】
本例は、Q4における主支骨と副支骨との回動角を図中に記入したαからβ間での範囲内に制限したものであり、過程(3)に至り折り畳み骨に対する駆動操作は終了する。過程(3)の後、副支骨は、駆動骨によって回動を阻止され、主支骨だけがQ4を中心に回動して親骨を回動させ、過程(4)に至って傘を開く操作は完了する。
傘を閉じるときは、上記工程のほぼ逆の順を辿る。本例においては、αの設定角度によって折り畳み骨の回動角をほぼ任意に制限でき、Q2とQ1の動作が自ずと整合されるため、前記目的は容易に達成できる。本例では、駆動骨を介してQ2に係る負荷を一定以下に維持させる配慮を要することを付記する。
【0027】
実施例3.
図6は、さらに他の構造例を示す。
図において、支骨30と親骨20との連結点P2とその近傍に設けた支骨上の連結点Q2及び支骨と下ロクロとの連結点P4に対し、角P224が一定の角度をなすように連結して連結点Q2を配置し、ここに駆動骨の一端を回動可能に連結して駆動操作する。
本例は、上記角度をより小さくして駆動操作のタイミングを早め、前記目安に近づけたものである。従って、傘の設計を本構造に適合させることによって、前記目的が達成される。傘を畳んだときに嵩張らないよう距離P11(図3参照)をできるだけ小さくするのが望ましい。
また、連結点Q2及び駆動骨をQ2がP2を回り込む際にU字状の親骨の内部まで回動できるようにすると、傘の設計をコンパクトなものにできる。さらに、本例は後記する伸縮機能を併用することによって、より効果的に折畳み骨を駆動操作できる。
【0028】
実施例4.
図7,図8(a)、(b)にさらに他の構造例を示す。図7の例は、支骨30のQ2に駆動骨50を連結し、Q1(図3参照)を駆動操作する。
支骨30と親骨20との連結点P2の近傍支骨上に連結点Q2を設け、(図7参照)、或いは親骨と上ロクロとの連結点P3近傍の傘軸上に新たに固定ロクロ13を配置してこれに連結点Q2を設け(図8参照)、いずれかの上記連結点Q2に駆動骨の一端を回動可能に連結し、上記連結点P2と連結点Q2との距離或いは上記連結連結点P3と連結点Q2との距離を適度に大きく設定することにより、駆動操作を増幅して伝達すると共に駆動骨にその両端の距離を伸縮する伸縮機能52を付加して駆動骨両端の整合性の不都合を補って駆動操作を行う。
【0029】
図7の構造例は、P22の間の距離を適度に大きく設定することにより、駆動操作を増幅して折り畳み骨の回動角を任意に制御し、前記目的を達成するものである。この場合、Q12間の距離を一定長に固定すると、Q12の動作を整合できないため、駆動骨に伸縮機能52を付加し、上記整合性の不都合を補った。
伸縮機能の構造例については後記するが、伸縮機能はその定常長に対し一定以上の張力又は圧力によって必要な長さ伸縮できるものであり、圧力に対して不都合に撓まない構造でなければならない。
【0030】
図8は上ロクロ11下部に配置した固定ロクロ13にQ2を設けた例で、Q2に駆動骨50を連結しQ1(図3参照)を駆動操作する。図8(b)は、図8(a)を図式化したもので、基本的には図7と同一であることを示す(P3がP2に対応する)。図8(b)のQ2の全回動角は75°程度であり、伸縮機能52にはより大きな伸縮距離が必要となる。
【0031】
図9(a)〜(c2)は、伸縮機能の構造例を示す。図9(a)は、駆動骨にピアノ線のようなバネ線材を用いて連結点Q2近傍を湾曲させたもの521である。目安として伸縮距離が1mm未満の場合に適用でき、図6に示す実施例3の構造と併用するときなどに好都合である。
図9(b)は、駆動骨にピアノ線のようなバネ線材を用いて途中をコイルバネ522としたものである。コイル外径を小さくすることにより、バネ定数が小さくなって駆動操作が安定すると共にU字状の親骨内部に納めることも可能になる。必要に応じてコイル内部に補強軸を通して不都合な撓みに備えることができる。目安として伸長距離4mm以下の場合に適用でき、図7に示す構造例に好都合である。
【0032】
図9(c)は、圧縮バネ522を適度に圧縮した状態で2本の駆動骨50に固着したストッパー524間に圧縮コイルバネ523として閉じこんだものである。Q1側の駆動骨50とQ2側の駆動骨を引っ張るとそれぞれ先端部のストッパーによってバネ523は押し縮められ、図9(c1)のようになる。
Q1側の駆動骨とQ2側の駆動骨を押し合うとそれぞれ途中のストッパーによってバネ523はやはり押し縮められ、図9(c1)のようになる。
本例の構造によれば、初動トルクや伸縮距離がほぼ自由に設定でき、駆動骨の伸縮機能としては、万能である。伸縮距離が大きく(15mm以上)に設定できるため、折り畳み骨を無理に回した時の故障の防止にも役立つ。本例では、圧縮バネを用いたが引張りバネでも同様の機能を発揮できる。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、2段折り畳み傘を開く過程で、特に捌いたり、勢いをつけて開く必要はなく、簡単且つ円滑に傘が開き、親骨と折畳み骨がV字状になることはない。
また、傘を閉じる際にも、下ロクロの操作に連動して折り畳み骨が円滑に折り畳まれ、畳んだ状態で折畳み骨がぐらつくこともない。
濡れた面が内側に折り畳まれるため、衣服を濡らすことも少なく、傾向にも便利である。しかも、開閉機構の構造が簡単且つ堅牢で製造も容易であるため、案化で普及を図ることができ、産業上貢献し得るものである。

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]
The present invention relates to a folding mechanism in a two-stage folding umbrella.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the conventional two-stage folding umbrella, when an umbrella that has been unfolded is folded, it is necessary to perform an operation of folding the umbrella bone one by one and then fold the umbrella cloth.
Since this operation is performed after being used in the rain and getting wet, it is troublesome to wet hands, etc., and it is often carried around with the umbrella closed, or stored as it is. Then, even when carrying around, the convenience as a folding umbrella was lost, and it was inconvenient.
[0003]
On the other hand, there is a structure that folds the umbrella using the spring force of the spring as a structure that folds in three stages and realizes a mechanism that folds the umbrella bone with the spring when folding. Since the wet surface of the umbrella cloth is outside, the hands and clothes that touched the umbrella cloth will get wet, and the umbrella bone folded in three layers overlaps with the mechanism loaded with the spring and is bulky, There is a difficulty in impairing the convenience of the compact corner.
[0004]
In a folding umbrella, it is sufficient if the umbrella bone can be simply unfolded and folded by opening and closing the umbrella, but a Western umbrella with an umbrella cloth stretched on the umbrella bone is stretched with the umbrella bone in the opened state. The formed umbrella cloth has a function to bend the umbrella bone by its tension and keep the shape in its open state robust. This effect is the same even in a folding umbrella. Therefore, if the folding mechanism of the umbrella bone is operated in conjunction with the opening / closing operation of the umbrella, this tension is applied during the opening / closing operation of the umbrella. It exerts a strong resistance to the folding mechanism, and when the umbrella is opened, it can be deployed with the upper half constricted, and it can also interfere with smooth operation by giving strong resistance to the interlocking mechanism when folding. Become.

In other words, the umbrella cloth is not a flat circular shape, but is composed of a curved surface that is three-dimensionally curved, while the umbrella framework is a shape in which the radially expanded umbrella bone is linearly extended. When the umbrella is open, the circumference drawn by the tip of the umbrella bone tip is larger than the circumference of the umbrella cloth at the periphery. For this reason, in the state where the umbrella is opened, the tip of the umbrella bone is squeezed from the periphery to the expanded umbrella cloth and is in a curved state. FIG. 10 shows a state in which the umbrella is opened without providing such an umbrella cloth and a state in which the umbrella cloth is stretched and deployed.
[0006]
Therefore, in the two-stage folding umbrella, when the umbrella is opened smoothly in conjunction with the operation of expanding the umbrella from the pre-folded state, the folding bone 40 is operated together with the operation of pushing up the parent bone by the fulcrum 30 as shown in FIG. However, when the distance between the adjacent tips R of the folding bone tips becomes equal to the preset width of the umbrella cloth between the tips, Since it becomes the maximum, the tip cannot be further expanded in the outer diameter direction by the tension of the umbrella cloth, and is curved.
[0007]
That is, ignoring the extension of the umbrella cloth and the like, when the outer periphery of the tip to which the umbrella bone is deployed and the umbrella cloth is fixed is equal to the outer periphery of the umbrella cloth in FIG. However, with respect to the angle α formed between the umbrella shaft 10 and the main bone 20 and the angle γ formed between the umbrella shaft and the folding bone 40 at this time, the angle β formed between the folding bone and the main bone has a relationship of β = α + γ. is there. And if there is a force acting in the direction of the umbrella axis from the tip R to the support bone, such as the tension of the umbrella cloth, γ will be applied in the opposite direction depending on either ± from 90 °. If the angle is less than 90 °, the tension of the umbrella cloth works in the direction of pulling back the tip of the folded bone, the folded bone is folded, and if γ is larger than 90 °, it acts in the direction of opening outward.
[0008]
Therefore, in order to unfold smoothly by opening the umbrella from the folded state, γ must exceed 90 ° in advance at this point. In addition, when the umbrella is folded, the reverse is true. However, since the tension of the umbrella cloth actually acts only in the direction in which the umbrella is folded and folded, the tension of the umbrella cloth is not a problem.
Furthermore, in the operation of unfolding and folding such a folding umbrella, the folding bone on which the umbrella cloth is stretched needs to be folded by rotating 180 degrees with respect to the parent bone. For this reason, when trying to rotate the folding bone with a simple crank mechanism, there is a problem of upper and lower dead points in which the direction of the force operated at both ends of the rotation operation is opposite, and the initial operation to open and close the umbrella It becomes difficult.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above problems, the present invention allows a two-stage folding umbrella to be smoothly opened, narrowed and folded in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the umbrella by a sliding operation of the lower rocker without losing its characteristics. A structure that can be used.
[0010]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention provides a two-stage folding umbrella that is provided with a folding bone that is pivotally connected to the distal end portion of a main bone, and that is connected to a lower bone and a main bone so as to be rotatable, and that is opened and closed by a sliding operation of the lower rocker. In
The link mechanism that pivotally attaches one end of the driving bone that rotates the folding bone to the main bone side extension of the joint point with the parent bone of the folding bone expands the rotation of the support bone or the main bone by the sliding operation of the lower rocker Rotate the folding bone and open the umbrella so that the angle of rotation is such that the angle between the folding bone and the umbrella shaft exceeds 90 ° in advance before the tension of the umbrella cloth acts on the tip of the folding bone. It is a two-stage folding umbrella.
[0011]
And as a mechanism for operating the drive bone that forms the link mechanism, the drive bone is pivotally attached in the middle of an auxiliary bone that connects the parent bone and the support bone and is slidable with respect to the support bone,
Alternatively, the support bone is configured to be bent or bendable, and the drive bone forming the link mechanism is pivotally attached to a position on the parent bone side, or the link mechanism is The drive bone to be formed is pivotally attached to a fixed roll provided at the lower part of the support bone or the upper roll, and the operation length of the drive bone accompanying the drive operation of the folded bone is adjusted as a structure in which the drive bone can be expanded and contracted. Is.
[0012]
Further, in these structures, the driving bone is made of a material having elasticity, or the elastic member is incorporated in the driving bone or provided separately, so that the umbrella is opened by opening the umbrella at least after the opening operation. It is a two-stage folding umbrella that stores repulsive force and facilitates initial operation when closing the umbrella by the repulsive force.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The folding structure of the present invention and its operation mode will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. In each figure, the numbers shown in parentheses indicate procedures for opening and closing the umbrella, and are indicated by (1), (2),... In the order of opening the umbrella.
In FIG. 1, an umbrella bone is provided so as to be able to rotate radially via a connection point P 3 around the upper rocker 11 at the upper end of the umbrella shaft 10, and the umbrella bone is a master bone 20 and a master bone tip 21 of the master bone from the center. in through the connecting point P 1 consists folded bone 40 provided rotatably, through each and the lower runner 12 slidably provided umbrella shaft ribs connecting points P 4, P 2 supported The structure is connected to the bone 30 so as to be rotatable, and the structure for opening and closing the umbrella bone by the vertical sliding operation of the lower rocker is the same as the conventional one.
[0014]
In the present invention, the folding bone 40 that is pivotally connected to the distal end portion of the main bone 20 is rotated by the drive bone 50 that is arranged substantially parallel to the main bone, so that the folding bone of the umbrella bone is opened when the umbrella is opened. Before the tension of the umbrella cloth comes to work at the tip, the folding bone is expanded in advance to a sufficiently large angle so that the expansion of the umbrella is prevented from being hindered by the tension of the umbrella cloth and can be opened and closed smoothly. To do.
[0015]
FIG. 1 shows an outline of the structure, which is driven via a connecting point Q 1 to a main bone side extension portion of a folded bone that is rotatably provided via a connecting point P 1 to a main bone tip 21 at the leading end of the main bone. connecting the bone 50, whereas rotatably connected to a connecting point P 5 at one end to the ribs, the drive to the auxiliary bones 33 which are slidably coupled to the other end支骨(see FIG. 4) formed by pivotally connected to the other end of the bone in Q 2. In the present invention, this drive bone is operated in conjunction with the movement of the fulcrum accompanying the up and down sliding operation of the lower rocker to control the rotation angle of the folded bone.
[0016]
FIG. 1 shows a state in the middle of opening and closing the umbrella. As described above, in the so-called Western umbrella, the tension of the umbrella cloth acts on the tip R in the process of opening the umbrella, and the tip R and the umbrella shaft 10 are moved. Therefore, if the folding bone 40 is not rotated sufficiently before the above tension starts to act, the parent bone and the folding bone will be V-shaped and the umbrella can be opened. Disappear.
FIG. 1 shows an opened state in which such a tension starts to act. When the umbrella is further opened thereafter, the above tension acts as an aid for opening the folded umbrella. For this reason, even if a repulsive force that pushes back the folded bone is applied as will be described later, the umbrella can be smoothly opened and deployed as shown in FIG.
3 (a) to 3 (e) are enlarged views showing a connection mode of the main bone 20, the folding bone 40, and the driving bone 50, and the rotation of the folding bone and the form of the repulsive force acting at that time. An example is shown. The master bone 20 has a U-shaped cross-sectional shape and is designed to make the structure compact by housing the drive bone 50 that opens and closes the umbrella in the recess.
[0017]
Based on FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (e), the rotating action of the folded bone and the effect of the repulsive force will be described.
Figure 3 is folding epiphysis device 41 is provided in the folding bone end (a), the coupled in connecting point P 1 on the inside of the main rib tip 21, also driven bone 50 folded epiphysis It is connected to the folded bone end tool at Q1 inside the tool. With this configuration, Q 1 is rotated on a semicircular orbit about P 1 by a driving operation substantially parallel to the parent bone of the driving bone, and the folding bone is rotated.
Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), when the folding bone is rotated and the umbrella is deployed, it is prevented from rotating clockwise further in the figure by hitting the distal end of the master bone tip 21. It is made not to be completely in line with it, and the initial operation when closing the umbrella is made easy. Although the distance between P 1 and Q 1 is assumed to 3 to 6 mm, since these conditions are those vary by the size and shape of the umbrella, there is no intention to be bound on the design range.
[0018]
In this example, a spring wire such as a piano wire is used for the drive bone 50 and is bent appropriately in the vicinity of the connection point Q 1 , and this is used as the drive bone bending portion 51. Folding bone end member 41 is formed to have a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. 3 (d), when connecting the drive bone via a shaft passing through Q 1, is a folding bone as shown in FIG. 3 (e) constant When the rotation angle is reached, the end edge portion is in the vicinity of the drive bone bending portion. FIG. 3B is the same state as FIG. 3E, and when the folding bone 40 is rotated from the state of FIG. The force acts so that the entire drive bone rotates around the connection point P 1, and as a result, the drive bone is gently curved and bent on the left side of the drive bone bending portion as shown in FIG. 3C. Accumulate repulsive force.
[0019]
In the present invention, as described above, since the tension of the umbrella cloth acts as an aid for opening the folded bone at the stage of opening the umbrella as described above, when the umbrella is further opened from the state of FIG. The folded bone is rotated against the repulsive force by tension to push open the umbrella and bend the drive bone to reach the state shown in FIG. FIG. 3C shows a state in which the folded bone is expanded and the umbrella is fully opened.
On the other hand, when closing the umbrella from the state of FIG. 3C, the restoring force by the stored repulsive force assists the initial movement operation of the drive bone and rotates it in a direction to fold the folded bone to a certain angle. Since the state shown in FIG. 3 (b) is reached, the smooth driving operation by the lower rotation can be performed after the state of the top dead center at the time of initial movement is removed.
When a thin spring wire is used for the drive bone, the protrusion of the spring wire is prevented by covering the open surface of the U-shaped cross section of the main bone as shown in FIG. It is desirable to add a drive bone retainer 22 that does.
[0020]
Next, a state where the umbrella is folded will be described with reference to FIG.
When the line segment P 1 Q 1 is parallel to the drive bone 50 in the folded state of the umbrella in FIG. 3A, even if a force is applied to the drive bone and the folded bone is pushed to the right in the figure, the folded bone is a so-called crank. Since it corresponds to the top and bottom dead center of the mechanism, the force in the direction of rotation does not work, and it is difficult to maintain an unstable and properly folded state.
If the position of Q 1 is set slightly on the lower side of the figure and the line segment P 1 Q 1 and the drive bone are designed to form a slight angle (even about 5 °), this will have an effect on the stability of the above-mentioned folded bone. However, when the umbrella is opened, Q 1 in FIG. 3 (c) comes to the upper side in the figure and this time, the point of action of the drive bone when closing the umbrella comes to the opposite side, which is a big obstacle. Become.
[0021]
The present invention uses the repulsive force of the driving bone stored when opening the umbrella as described above, and rotates the folding bone in a direction to fold the folding bone up to a certain angle at the start of the initial motion operation when folding the umbrella. In order to escape from the dead center, it is possible to give a margin to the position setting of Q 1 as described above.
As shown in the following examples, the means for increasing the rotation angle of the folding bone when the folding bone is opened by the driving bone can have various structures. The influence of the tension of the umbrella cloth can be eliminated. At the same time, the tension of the umbrella cloth is used to store the repulsive force at the time of opening the umbrella. By incorporating an acting spring or the like, the initial operation at the time of folding can be made smooth.
[0022]
【Example】
Hereinafter, FIGS. 4 to 8 show structural examples for the purpose of rotating the folded bone sufficiently large until the tension of the umbrella cloth acts on the tip in the process of opening the umbrella. The above-mentioned purpose is to sufficiently fold the bone with respect to a certain rotation angle of the main bone (∠P 1 P 3 P 4 in FIG. 1) or the rotation angle of the fulcrum (∠P 1 P 2 P 4 in FIG. 1). This can be achieved by a large rotation.
In a standard two-stage folding umbrella, it is a guideline that the folding bone is rotated by 140 ° or more when the rotation angle of the main bone is 50 ° or less (or the rotation angle of the fulcrum is 100 °). Of course, the above guidelines can be relaxed depending on the design of the umbrella.
Example 1.
FIG. 4 illustrates these example structures of the present invention.
A connection point P 5 is provided at a site separated from the connection point P 2 of the main bone 20 with the support bone 30 by an appropriate distance on the distal end side of the main bone, and one end of the auxiliary bone 33 is rotatably connected thereto. with the rotation and slidably coupled to支骨as a connection point Q 3 the other end of the auxiliary bones, the distance between the connecting point Q 3 and the connection point P 5 and the connection point P 5 and the connection point P 2 the auxiliary bones arranged formed by setting appropriately larger than the distance, the driving operation by connecting one end of the drive bone rotatably here the connecting point Q 2 is provided to the appropriate site of the auxiliary bones .
[0023]
In the process of opening the umbrella, the support frame 30 rotates around P 2 in the order of (1), (2), (3), (4) in the figure.
Along with this, the auxiliary bone 33 also rotates about P 5 via Q 3 , and the driving bone 50 connected to Q 2 drives and operates Q 1 (see FIG. 3) of the folded bone end tool. When the operations of Q 1 and Q 2 are matched, the distance P 5 Q 2 is almost equal to the distance P 1 Q 1 (see FIG. 3), and the rotation angle of Q 2 (∠P 1 P 5 Q 2 ) is folded. It is almost equal to the bone rotation angle. Therefore, the rotation angle of the folded bone can be increased with respect to the rotation angle of the support bone. It is also clear that the above object can be achieved by increasing or decreasing the rotation angle of Q 2 by changing the distance P 5 Q 3 according to the folding structure of the umbrella.
[0024]
FIG. 4B is a manufacturing example of the auxiliary bone 33 and can be realized by processing a wire such as a piano wire. The connecting point Q 3 can be slid while rotating on the fulcrum by setting its inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the rod-like fulcrum 30.
Further, by forming the driving bone and the auxiliary bone with these thin materials, the auxiliary bone can be stored together with the driving bone in the U-shaped parent bone when the umbrella is folded.
[0025]
Example 2
FIG. 5 shows still another structural example, in which one end of the main support 31 is connected to one end of the sub-support 32 with the connection point P 4 to the lower rocker and the other end of the main support to the connection point Q 4. Further, the other end of the sub-spindle is rotatably connected to the connection point P 2 with the parent bone, or the rotation angle between the main and sub-supports is limited at the connection point Q 4 . linked to, a structure in which a connecting point Q 2 on the appropriate sites of the sub支骨provided for driving operation and pivotally connected to one end of the drive bone here.
When the auxiliary fulcrum rotates about P 2 , the folding bone is driven and operated via Q 1 (see FIG. 3) by the driving bone 50 connected to Q 2 .
Further, assuming a line segment P 2 P 4, the line segment P 2 P 4 by the operation of the lower runner is rotated about the P 2, ribs 20 are rotated. In the process of opening the umbrella, the main support pushes Q 4 in the axial direction to rotate the sub-support, and the processes (1) to (2) in the figure are performed. At this time, Q 4 hits the umbrella shaft (10 in FIG. 1) and the parent bone rotates slightly, but substantially only the folded bone rotates by a certain angle.
Remains at connecting point Q 4 main unless limit the rotation angle of the main支骨and sub支骨支骨is substantially parallel to the ribs, the auxiliary支骨is rotated, the bone folding while ribs is closed It opens and then the parent bone rotates to open the umbrella.
[0026]
This example is a restricted from α to fill the turning angle of the main支骨and sub支骨in Q 4 in FIG within between beta, the drive for the lead folding bone Process (3) The operation ends. After the process (3), the sub-spindle is prevented from rotating by the driving bone, and only the main support pivots about Q 4 to rotate the parent bone, and reaches the process (4) to open the umbrella. The operation is complete.
When closing the umbrella, the process is almost reversed. In this example, the rotation angle of the folded bone can be almost arbitrarily limited by the set angle α, and the operations of Q 2 and Q 1 are naturally aligned, so the above object can be easily achieved. In this example, it is added that it is necessary to consider that the load relating to Q 2 is maintained below a certain level via the drive bone.
[0027]
Example 3
FIG. 6 shows still another structural example.
In the figure, with respect to a connection point P 2 between the support 30 and the main bone 20 and a connection point Q 2 on the support provided in the vicinity thereof and a connection point P 4 between the support and the lower rocker, the angle P 2 Q 2 P 4 is connected so as to form a predetermined angle to place the connecting point Q 2, driven operating here the one end of the drive bone pivotally connected to.
In this example, the angle is made smaller and the timing of the driving operation is advanced so as to approach the above-mentioned standard. Therefore, the purpose is achieved by adapting the design of the umbrella to this structure. It is desirable to make the distance P 1 Q 1 (see FIG. 3) as small as possible so as not to be bulky when the umbrella is folded.
Further, if the connecting point Q 2 and the driving bone can be rotated to the inside of the U-shaped master bone when Q 2 goes around P 2 , the design of the umbrella can be made compact. Furthermore, this example can drive the folded bone more effectively by using the expansion / contraction function described later.
[0028]
Example 4
FIG. 7, FIG. 8 (a), (b) shows still another structural example. In the example of FIG. 7, the driving bone 50 is connected to Q 2 of the support frame 30, and Q 1 (see FIG. 3) is driven.
A connection point Q 2 is provided on the vicinity of the connection point P 2 between the support frame 30 and the main bone 20 (see FIG. 7), or newly on the umbrella shaft in the vicinity of the connection point P 3 between the main bone and the upper rocker. The fixed rocker 13 is arranged and a connection point Q 2 is provided (see FIG. 8). One end of the drive bone is rotatably connected to any one of the connection points Q 2 , and the connection point P 2 is connected to the connection point P 2. by setting appropriately large distance between the distance or the connection connecting point P 3 and Q 2 and the connecting point Q 2, telescopic function to stretch the distance between both ends to the drive bone together and transmits the amplified driving operation 52 is added to compensate for the inconvenience of the consistency of both ends of the drive bone, and the drive operation is performed.
[0029]
In the structural example of FIG. 7, the distance between P 2 and Q 2 is set to be reasonably large, thereby amplifying the driving operation and arbitrarily controlling the rotation angle of the folding bone to achieve the object. . In this case, if the distance between Q 1 and Q 2 is fixed to a certain length, the operation of Q 1 and Q 2 cannot be matched. Therefore, the expansion / contraction function 52 is added to the drive bone to compensate for the inconsistency.
An example of the structure of the expansion / contraction function will be described later. The expansion / contraction function can be expanded / contracted by the tension or pressure of a certain level or more with respect to its steady length, and it must be a structure that does not bend flexibly against pressure. .
[0030]
FIG. 8 shows an example in which Q 2 is provided on the fixed rocker 13 arranged at the lower part of the upper rocker 11. A driving bone 50 is connected to Q 2 and Q 1 (see FIG. 3) is driven. FIG. 8 (b) is a schematic representation of FIG. 8 (a) and basically shows the same as FIG. 7 (P 3 corresponds to P 2 ). The total rotation angle of Q 2 in FIG. 8B is about 75 °, and the expansion / contraction function 52 requires a larger expansion / contraction distance.
[0031]
FIGS. 9A to 9C show structural examples of the expansion / contraction function. FIG. 9A shows a structure 521 in which the vicinity of the connection point Q 2 is curved using a spring wire such as a piano wire for the drive bone. It can be applied when the expansion / contraction distance is less than 1 mm as a guideline, and is convenient when used in combination with the structure of Example 3 shown in FIG.
FIG. 9B shows a case where a spring wire material such as a piano wire is used for the drive bone and a coil spring 522 is provided in the middle. By reducing the outer diameter of the coil, the spring constant is reduced, the driving operation is stabilized, and the U-shaped main bone can be accommodated. If necessary, it is possible to prepare for inconvenient deflection through a reinforcing shaft inside the coil. This can be applied to a case where the extension distance is 4 mm or less as a guide, and is convenient for the structural example shown in FIG.
[0032]
FIG. 9C shows a state where the compression spring 522 is compressed as a compression coil spring 523 between the stoppers 524 fixed to the two drive bones 50 in an appropriately compressed state. Each pulling the Q 1 side of the drive bone 50, Q 2 side of the drive bone by the tip portion of the stopper spring 523 is contracted press is as shown in FIG. 9 (c1).
The spring 523 by Q1 side drive bone, Q 2 side of the middle respectively the jostling drive bone stopper is contracted press again, becomes as shown in FIG. 9 (c1).
According to the structure of this example, the initial movement torque and the expansion / contraction distance can be set almost freely, and the expansion / contraction function of the drive bone is universal. Since the expansion / contraction distance can be set large (15 mm or more), it is useful for preventing failure when the folded bone is forcibly turned. In this example, a compression spring is used, but a similar function can be achieved with a tension spring.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, in the process of opening the two-stage folded umbrella, there is no need to crawl or open with particular force, the umbrella can be opened easily and smoothly, and the parent bone and the folded bone do not become V-shaped.
Also, when the umbrella is closed, the folded bone is smoothly folded in conjunction with the operation of the lower rocker, and the folded bone does not wobble in the folded state.
Since the wet surface is folded inward, the clothes are less likely to get wet and the trend is convenient. In addition, since the structure of the opening / closing mechanism is simple, robust, and easy to manufacture, it can be spread by drafting and can contribute to the industry.
