However, if the umbrella holder proposed in Patent Document 1 is left unnecessarily hung on the handle of the bag, there is a concern that the band-shaped base body will hang down long outside the bag and become an obstacle. be. Therefore, when unnecessary, it is necessary to remove the strip-shaped base body from the handle and store it in a bag, which is inconvenient. In addition, the umbrella holder proposed in Patent Document 2 is specialized for storing a folded umbrella in a pocket, so even if it is hung from the handle of a bag when it is not necessary, it does not get in the way. However, the person who carries it cannot help but feel a certain resistance to leaving it hanging from the handle of the bag when it is not necessary, considering fashion etc. There was also

The present invention has been made under the above circumstances, and is compact and easy to handle, and allows the umbrella to be stored and held securely without difficulty, regardless of when it is necessary or not. To provide an umbrella holder capable of easily adopting a design that does not impair fashionability even if it is always hung on a bag or the like.

An umbrella holder according to the present invention has a holder body into which an umbrella is inserted, and a tightening means for tightening the holder body into which the umbrella is inserted and holding the umbrella by the holder body. The holder main body has two plate portions, namely, a vertically long receiving plate portion and a pressing plate portion, which are arranged facing each other, and the tightening means has elasticity so that it can be hung around the two plate portions. A string-like body is provided, and the two plate parts around which the string-like body is wound can be separated to widen the mutual interval between them, and the string-like body is elongated by applying a tensile force. The two plate portions are urged toward each other by elasticity acting in the direction of contraction, and the two plate portions are formed by plates having arc-shaped cross-sections having arc-shaped inner surfaces. In addition, concave recesses are formed in intermediate portions of the left and right edges of each of the two plate portions. Here, the "stretchable string-like body that can be hung around two plate parts" includes a stretchable string-like body that is drawn around both of the two plate parts, Also included is a stretchable cord-like body whose end is hooked on one of the two plate portions and which is drawn along the outer surface of the other plate portion.

The umbrella holder according to the present invention can be carried by being hung from a handle of a bag, for example, using a hanging tool. Further, when the two plate portions around which the cord-like body is wound are separated to widen the mutual interval between the receiving plate portion and the pressing plate portion, the umbrella can be easily inserted between the two plate portions. After insertion, the umbrella is held by the umbrella holder by tightening the umbrella by the two plate portions due to the elasticity of the cord-like body acting in the direction of contraction.

Further, in the present invention, the two plate portions are formed by plate bodies having arcuate cross-sections having arcuate inner surfaces, and the two plate portions are formed with recesses in intermediate portions between the left and right edges of each of the plate portions. It is possible to employ a configuration in which a recessed recess is formed in the shape of a recess. According to this invention, since the umbrella is securely fastened by the arcuate inner surfaces of the two plate portions without wobbling, the umbrella is stable when carried. In addition, since the two plate portions are formed by plate bodies having an arcuate cross section, the portions where the recessed recesses are formed in the intermediate portions of the left and right edges of the two plate portions form the openings. become. Therefore, the fabric of the umbrella held by the umbrella holder, which is called a "booth", swells outward from the opening and is caught in the recessed portion, which helps prevent the umbrella from slipping down.

In the present invention, the tightening means is a stretchable endless cord-like body that is slidably inserted through through holes provided in the two plate portions and is wound around the outer surfaces of the two plate portions. and the endless string-like body provided on the outer surface of either one of the two plate portions and elongated by applying a tensile force to the endless string-like body. It is desirable to employ a configuration in which a locking portion that maintains the extended state of the . According to this invention, although the holder main body is formed of two separate members, the receiving plate portion and the pressing plate portion, the two plate portions are connected by the endless cord-like body, so that the two plate portions are separated. There is an advantage that the parts do not fall apart. In addition, the umbrella can be held between the two plate portions by a simple operation of locking at least one portion of the endless cord-like body with the locking portion.

In the present invention, the through holes are provided in two upper and lower portions of each of the two plate portions, and the endless cord-like body inserted through each of the through holes is arranged in two upper and lower portions on the outer surface of the receiving plate portion. The endless string-shaped belt is stretched sideways on the outer surface of the presser plate portion in a crossed manner, and is stretched around the outer surface of the presser plate portion in a crossed manner. It is possible to adopt a configuration in which an X-shaped groove is formed to accommodate the body. By adopting this configuration, it is possible not only to make the endless string-like body, which is draped around the outer surface of the holding plate part visible from the outside in the form of crossing, exhibit a certain fashionability. , the part where the endless string-like body is crossed is accommodated in the X-shaped groove formed on the outer surface of the pressing plate portion, so even if the endless string-like body is thick, the pressing plate It does not protrude so much from the outer surface of the part, and it is suppressed that an object is caught in the part where it is hung around in the form of crossing, and the safety during carrying is improved accordingly.

In the present invention, one of the upper and lower horizontal bridge portions of the endless cord-like body, which is horizontally hung around the outer surface of the receiving plate portion, is engaged with the locking portion. It is desirable that the By adopting this configuration, the upper horizontal portion of the endless cord-like body becomes looser than the lower horizontal portion. Using the loosened upper horizontal bridge makes it easier to widen the mutual opening between the upper ends of the two plates, thereby improving the handleability when inserting the umbrella into the two plates. do.

In the present invention, the height of the upper end of the pressing plate portion is set lower than the height of the upper end of the receiving plate portion disposed in the pressing plate portion so as to face each other, and the upper end portions of the two plate portions It is preferred that the umbrella receptacle formed by the inter-openings is formed in a flared shape. By adopting this configuration, the umbrella holder can be provided with a wide insertion opening, so that handling efficiency when inserting the umbrella into the two plate portions is improved.

In the present invention, it is desirable that the umbrella insertion opening formed by the mutual openings of the lower end portions of the two plate portions is formed in a downward widening shape. By adopting this configuration, when an umbrella, especially a long umbrella or a parasol, is pulled out from the holder body, the "Jingasa", which is located at the base of the "stone butt" at the tip of the umbrella and protrudes outward like a brim. Since the part called "the bottom" is no longer caught on the holder body, the umbrella can be smoothly pulled out from the holder body.

In the present invention, it is possible to employ a configuration in which a pattern such as a celluloid pattern is applied to the outer surface of the pressing plate portion . A celluloid pattern is an irregular pattern that appears on the surface of celluloid, which is a plastic material. Further, when the outer surface of the holding plate portion is patterned, there is an advantage that the umbrella holder can be remarkably given an accessory meaning due to the characteristics of the pattern such as decorativeness and taste.

An opening 51 for an umbrella is formed by openings between the lower ends of the two plate portions 10 and 20 . In this embodiment, the lower end portions 17a and 27a of the two plate portions 10 and 20 are curved in opposite directions to form the insertion port 50 in a downwardly widening shape. In this way, when the umbrella is pulled out upward from the umbrella holder 100, the situation in which the tip of the umbrella, especially the long umbrella or the parasol, is caught in the umbrella holder 100 is less likely to occur.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1 or 4, recessed recesses 18, 18 are provided in the intermediate portions of the left and right edges of the two plate portions 10 and 20, which are formed by plates having arcuate cross sections. 28 are formed. Therefore, when the two plate portions 10 and 20 are arranged facing each other as described above to form a space capable of accommodating an umbrella between the two plate portions 10 and 20, two The formation of the relief recesses 18, 28 in the plate portions 10, 20 form an opening S as clearly shown in FIG.

The umbrella holder 100 has tightening means B (see FIG. 1) for tightening the holder body A consisting of the two plate portions 10 and 20 to hold the umbrella by the holder body A. As shown in FIG. The tightening means B is slidably inserted through the through holes 11a to 11b and 21a to 21b provided in the two plate portions 10 and 20, respectively, and hangs around the outer surfaces of the two plate portions 10 and 20. 1 of the endless string-like body 40 which has an endless string-like body 40 having stretchability and the locking portion 16 provided on the outer surface of the receiving plate portion 10 and which is elongated by applying a tensile force. The extended state of the endless string-like body 40 is maintained by locking the portion with the locking portion 16 . In this embodiment, the endless cord-like body 40 employs a rubber cord having a round cross section with a diameter of about 3 to 5 mm.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 or FIG. 5, the endless cord-like body 40 is formed by connecting two ends of one rubber cord with a coupler 41 used as a knob. 5, the endless cord-like body 40 is inserted through the two through-holes 11a, 21a, 11b, 21b on the upper sides of the two plate portions 10, 20, respectively, to form the receiving plate portion 10. and the two lower through holes 11c, 21c, 11d, 21d of the two plate portions 10, 20 and the outer surface of the receiving plate portion 10. It has a lower horizontal bridge portion b that is hung sideways, and a crossing portion c that is hung around the outer surface of the presser plate portion 20 in a crossed manner. provided in part a.

Next, the procedure and state of use will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8. FIG. FIG. 6 is an explanatory view showing a step of inserting an umbrella 200, which is a long umbrella or a parasol, into the umbrella holder 100 as seen from the side; FIG. 7 is an explanatory view showing the umbrella holder 100 holding the umbrella 200 as seen from the side; FIG. 8 is an explanatory view showing an example of an actual usage state when the umbrella holder 100 holds an umbrella 200 made of a folding umbrella.

When inserting the umbrella between the two plate portions 10 and 20 forming the holder main body A, as shown in FIG. The upper horizontal portion a of the cord-like body 40 is loosened, and in this state, the two plate portions 10 and 20 are separated as indicated by arrows F to widen the mutual interval therebetween. In this case, if the upper transverse portion a of the endless cord-like body 40 is loose, for example, by tilting the pressing plate portion 20 and widening the mutual interval between the two plate portions 10 and 20, as shown in the figure, The insertion port 50 of the umbrella 200 can be easily expanded. After widening the mutual distance between the two plate portions 10 and 20 in this manner, the umbrella 200 is inserted between the two plate portions 10 and 20 through the insertion port 50 as indicated by the arrow I in the figure. Next, by pulling the connector 41 by hand and locking it to the locking portion 16, a tensile force is applied to the endless string-like body 40 to extend it. The two plate portions 10 and 20 are urged toward each other due to their elasticity, and as shown in FIG. At the same time, the endless string-like body 40 contracts due to its own elasticity, and the crossed portion c of the endless string-like body 40 moves into the X-shaped groove 22 formed on the outer surface of the pressing plate portion 20 (see FIG. 2). be accommodated.

When the umbrella holder 100 holds the umbrella 200 in this way, the umbrella 200 is securely fastened by the arc-shaped inner surfaces of the two plate portions 10 and 20 without wobbling, and the holding state is stabilized. In addition, the fabric called "booth" of the umbrella 200 extends from the opening S formed by the recessed recesses 18, 28 at the intermediate portions of the left and right edges of the two plate portions 10, 20, respectively. bulges outward and is hooked on the formed portions of the stealing recesses 18, 28, which helps prevent the umbrella 200 from slipping down.

When removing the umbrella 200 upward from the umbrella holder 100, removing the connector 41 from the engaging portion 16 and loosening the upper horizontal portion a of the endless cord-like body 40 facilitates removal. In this case, since the insertion opening 51 of the holder main body A has a downwardly expanding shape, when the umbrella 200 is pulled out, the tip of the umbrella 200 shown in FIG. Since the part called the jinkasa 202 and the jinsho 203, which are located at the base of the piercing 201 and protrude outward in the shape of a brim, are not caught in the holder body, the umbrella 200 can be smoothly pulled out from the holder body A. can.

In addition, it is possible not only to make the endless cord-like body 40, which is crossed over the outer surface of the presser plate portion 20 visible from the outside when carried, exhibit a certain fashionability, but also to make the presser plate portion 20 more fashionable. Since the crossing portion c of the endless string-like body 40 is accommodated in the X-shaped groove 22 formed on the outer surface of the pressing plate portion 20, even if the endless string-like body 40 is thick, it is not so far from the outer surface of the pressing plate portion 20. It does not protrude, and the endless string-like body 40 is prevented from being caught by an object, so that the safety during carrying is improved accordingly.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the umbrella holder 100, a lateral hole 15 is formed in the vertically elongated protrusion 13 of the receiving plate 10, and a hanging tool 60 can be attached to the lateral hole 15.

The hanging device 60 is not limited to that shown in FIG. 1, and may be, for example, a cord or other type of hook.

By the way, of the receiving plate portion 10 and the pressing plate portion 20 forming the holder main body, the outer surface of the pressing plate portion 20 is a portion that can be seen by a person during carrying as described with reference to FIG. Therefore, it is beneficial to pay attention to this point and apply a pattern such as a celluloid pattern to the outer surface of the pressing plate portion 20 . When a pattern such as a celluloid pattern is applied to the outer surface of the presser plate portion 20 in this way, the umbrella holder 100 can be significantly given an accessory meaning due to the characteristics of the pattern such as decorativeness and taste. There is an advantage. In addition to celluloid patterns, the patterns include patterns and patterns of natural landscapes, animals and plants, stones, etc., geometric patterns, letters, and patterns of letters.

In the embodiment described above, the receiving plate portion 10 and the pressing plate portion 20 are both formed by plates having arcuate cross-sections and having arcuate inner surfaces. It need not be formed by an arcuate plate. For example, the inner surface may be arcuate and the outer surface may be flat. Further, the locking portion 16 for locking the endless cord-like body 40 may be provided on the pressing plate portion 20 side. Furthermore, it is also possible to engage the endless cord-like body 40 at two locations with engaging portions (not shown) provided at two locations.

The tightening means includes a vertically elongated receiving plate portion and a holding plate portion that can be hung around the two plate portions. It is also possible to employ one or a plurality of stretchable string-like bodies. In the case where one or more string-like bodies are used as the tightening means, the ends of the string-like bodies are tied together to separate the two plate parts around which the string-like bodies are wound. The two plate portions are urged toward each other by the elasticity acting in the contraction direction when the cord-like body is stretched by applying a tensile force. It is possible to configure Here, the term "can be hung around" includes a state in which the string-like body can be wound vertically or horizontally around two plate portions. Therefore, the stretchable string-like body that can be hung around the two plate portions 10 and 20 includes the stretchable string-like body that is drawn around both the two plate portions 10 and 20. In addition, it also includes a stretchable string-like body whose end is hooked on one of two plate portions and which is pulled along the outer surface of the other plate portion.
