  The outer absorbent member 6 comprises a cylinder 7 having an opening 7a through which the umbrella cloth 4 can be inserted. The cylinder 7 is elastic in the radial direction, and the axial direction is divided into an upper part 7b and a lower part 7c. When the radial expansion / contraction force of the lower portion 7c is made stronger than the radial expansion / contraction force of the upper portion 7b, the cylinder in which the drops not absorbed by the upper portion 7b of the cylindrical body 7 are strongly adhered to the surface of the umbrella cloth 4 Absorption by the lower portion 7c of the body 7 and dripping down the umbrella can be suppressed.

  The stone protrusion 3 at the tip of the umbrella 1 is inserted into the opening 7 a of the cylinder 7 of the outer water absorbing member 6, and the cylinder 7 is moved from the lower part to the upper part of the umbrella 1 while rotating the umbrella 1. Then, the umbrella cloth 4 is wound and bundled.

  The inner diameter of the opening 7a of the cylindrical body 7 is the same from the upper part 7b to the lower part 7c. However, the inner diameter of the lower part 7c may be larger than the inner diameter of the upper part 7b. Combined with the fact that the radial expansion / contraction force of the lower portion 7c is stronger than the radial expansion / contraction force of the upper portion 7b, the cylindrical body 7 comes into close contact with the umbrella cloth 4 and adheres to the umbrella cloth 4 Drops can be absorbed reliably.

  Further, when the inner diameter of the upper part 7b is made larger than the inner diameter of the lower part 7c, the stone protrusion 3 at the tip of the tapered umbrella 1 is easily inserted, and the cylinder 7 is moved upward while rotating the umbrella 1. Can be easily done.

  The inner water-absorbing member 8 comprises an inverted truncated cone body 9 having an opening 9a at which the tip can project only the stone protrusion 3. The inverted truncated cone body 9 is elastic in the radial direction, and the upper and lower portions 9b and 9c are axially oriented. And the elastic force in the radial direction of the lower portion 9c is made stronger than the elastic force in the radial direction of the upper portion 9b to improve the adhesion to the surface of the umbrella cloth 4 above the stone protrusion 3, and the umbrella The inner absorbent member 8 absorbs drops dripping from the surface of the umbrella cloth 4 while sufficiently absorbing drops on the surface of the cloth 4.

  Further, since the tip of the inverted truncated cone body 9 is an opening 9a through which only the stone protrusion 3 can protrude, the inverted truncated cone body 9 is restricted in the vicinity of the stone protrusion 3, and the inner water absorbing member 8 The inverted truncated cone body 9 is not moved by being moved by the cylindrical body 7 of the outer absorbent member 6, and the inverted truncated cone body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8 can be easily attached.

  Furthermore, the stone protrusion 3 of the umbrella 1 protrudes from the opening 9a in the lower part 9c of the inverted truncated cone body 9, so that the truncated cone body 9 does not come into direct contact with the floor surface, and the tip member 7 is soiled or damaged. It is preventing.

  The outer diameter (for example, about 40 mm to 60 mm) of the upper part 9b of the inverted truncated cone 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8 is set to the inner diameter (for example, 50 mm) of the upper part 7b of the cylindrical body 7 of the outer water absorbing member 6. And the axial total length of the inverted truncated cone 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8 is set to the total axial length of the cylindrical body 7 of the outer water absorbing member 6 (for example, about 80 mm to 130 mm). The inner water absorbing member 8 is accommodated in the outer water absorbing member 6 as shown in FIG.

  When the inner water absorbing member 8 is housed in the outer water absorbing member 6, the inverted truncated conical body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8 is securely held by the expansion and contraction force of the cylindrical body 7 of the outer water absorbing member 6. Since it is difficult to come off, the cylinder 7 can be easily carried by attaching it to the hand 2 of the umbrella 1 with a strap (not shown) or the like.

  The symbol Fa in FIG. 4 indicates a composite material Fa made of fibers having both stretchability and water absorption of the drips removing tool 5 of the present invention. The material Fa is divided into an upper half and a lower half from the center in the longitudinal direction. The weaving method of the fiber is changed, and the elastic force of the lower half is stronger than the upper half.

  The center of each of the upper half and the lower half of the material Fa is folded with a crease 10, and the upper end edge and the lower end edge are joined together to form the cylindrical body 7 or the inverted truncated cone body 9 formed of a double peripheral wall. In the cylindrical body 7, the expansion / contraction force of the lower portion 7c is stronger than the upper portion 7b, and similarly, the inverted truncated cone body 9 is also stronger in the expansion / contraction force of the lower portion 9c than the upper portion 9b.

  When the flexible material Fa in the cylindrical body 7 or the inverted truncated conical body 9 is doubled, the permeation of the drops from the inside of the material Fa is temporarily retained in a gap formed by overlapping, and the drops are prevented from oozing out to the outside. it can. Moreover, the cylindrical body 7 and the inverted truncated conical body 9 can share the same material, thereby reducing the material cost.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

  In the second embodiment, unlike the composite material Fa having both water absorption and stretchability in the first embodiment, the water absorbent material such as fiber and plastic having water absorption and stretchability individually. It consists of Fb and a stretchable material Fc.

  The outer peripheral member 6 has an inner periphery of the tubular body 7 as a water absorbent material Fb, an outer periphery as a stretchable material Fc, and the water absorbent material Fb is stretched in the radial direction by the stretchable material Fc. It adheres to and absorbs drips adhering to the surface of the umbrella cloth 4.

  The inverted frustoconical body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8 has an inner circumference made of a water absorbent material Fb and an outer circumference made of a stretchable material Fc, like the cylindrical body 7 of the outer water absorbent member 6. The stretching force in the radial direction of the body 9 increases the adhesion to the surface of the umbrella cloth 4 above the stone protrusion 3, can sufficiently absorb drops, and drops from the surface of the umbrella cloth 4. Absorb.

  The reverse frustoconical body 9 of the inner water-absorbing member 8 is formed by the expansion / contraction force in the radial direction of the reverse frustoconical body 9 and the opening 9a through which only the stone protrusion 3 can project the inner diameter of the tip of the reverse frustoconical body 9. Therefore, the inner water-absorbing member 8 is not moved by being moved by the outer absorbent member 6 and the inverted truncated cone body 9 can be easily attached. And since the said stone protrusion 3 protrudes from the said opening 9a of the said inverted truncated cone body 9, the said inner water absorption member 8 does not become dirty by a floor surface, or it is rubbed and damaged.

The cylindrical body 7 of the outer water-absorbing member 6 and the inverted truncated cone body 9 of the inner water-absorbing member 8 are folded and superposed on the water-absorbing material Fb so as to prevent drips from seeping out.
Note that the laminated water-absorbing material Fb and the stretchable material Fc may be integrated, and the material may be a combination of non-woven fabric, plastic film, water-absorbing polymer, etc. used in disposable paper diapers. Cost reduction.

  In the umbrella drop removing tool of the present invention having the above-described configuration, the drop removing tool 5 is inserted from the lower part of the umbrella 1 which is used in the rain and closed, and the drop removing tool 5 is rotated while the umbrella 1 is rotated. When the outer water absorbing member 6 is moved upward, the outer water absorbing member 6 absorbs the drops adhering to the umbrella cloth 4 of the umbrella 1, and the umbrella cloth 4 is wrapped to eliminate the flutter of the umbrella cloth 4. To do.

In this way, by gripping and moving the outer water absorbing member 6, the umbrella cloth 4 can be wound up without removing the drops on the surface of the umbrella cloth 4 without getting the hands wet.
Further, by absorbing drips adhering to the surface of the umbrella cloth 4, the floor surface is not wetted and soiled, and the strong elastic force of the lower portion 7c of the cylindrical body 7 of the outer water absorbing member 6 allows the The outer water-absorbing member 6 can prevent the outer water-absorbing member 6 from slipping while keeping the umbrella cloth 4 wound.

  The inner water-absorbing member 8 housed in the outer water-absorbing member 6 is such that the inverted truncated cone 9 of the inner water-absorbing member 8 is restricted in the vicinity of the stone protrusion 3, and the inner water-absorbing member 8 is The dripping removal tool 5 on the umbrella can be easily attached to the umbrella 1 without being moved by the absorbing member 6, and the outer water absorbing member 6 is provided by the inverted truncated conical body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8. It is possible to absorb the drops that are not absorbed by the umbrella cloth 4 and hang down from the umbrella cloth 4.

  Furthermore, since the stone protrusion 3 of the umbrella 1 protrudes from the opening 9a at the lower end of the inverted frustoconical body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8, the inner water absorbing member 8 is soiled or rubbed by the floor surface. The inner water absorbing member 8 is not damaged and does not slide down from the stone protrusion 3 due to the strong expansion and contraction force of the lower portion 9c of the inverted truncated cone body 9 of the inner water absorbing member 8.
