JP7286089B2 - Parasol mounting bench - Google Patents

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a bench to which a parasol installed in a park or the like can be attached. Note that the bench also includes a bench-like one.

Many of the conventional benches installed in parks and the like do not have awnings, and because users receive direct sunlight, they are often hot and difficult to use in the summer. For this reason, there are many requests from park users for more shade. There is a problem that it cannot be installed easily.

Patent Literature 1 proposes a bench attached with a shelter in the form of an inverted umbrella. However, this is a simple facility for evacuation and rest with a structure that catches rain and drains water, and there is a problem that it cannot be installed at a low cost like the pavilion.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to provide a bench with a sunshade which is inexpensive and convenient.

In order to solve the above problems, the present inventors observed the use of park benches in the summer. As a result, we noticed that many parents who watch over their children bring parasols and use them to shield their children from the sun. However, I also realized that when I was holding the parasol, I couldn't immediately respond to the child's movements. For this reason, it came to the idea that it would be convenient for the users if the benches could be easily shaded by using the parasols brought by the users, without incurring much cost.

The present invention, which has been made based on the above findings, is a parasol mounting bench having a parasol mounting portion at the upper portion of a support that extends upward from the seat surface, and the parasol mounting portion is a plate-like shape formed in an inverted U shape. A vertical groove into which the shaft of the parasol can be inserted is formed on the side surface of the main body so as to reach the inverted U-shaped groove of the plate-shaped main body from the top of the plate-shaped main body, and is inserted into the vertical groove on the side of the vertical groove. The top of the plate-shaped main body can support the lower end of the underside of the parasol, and a handle for the lower end of the shaft is provided inside the inverted U-shaped groove. It is characterized by being able to store the .

In addition, it is possible to adopt a structure in which the entire column is formed in an inverted U shape. Also, the number of posts provided with the parasol mounting portion can be singular or plural.

In the bench of the present invention, a parasol brought by a guardian can be attached to the parasol attaching portion formed on the upper part of the support to create a shade. Therefore, no application for building confirmation is required, and the system can be installed easily and at low cost. Moreover, since there is no need to hold the parasol by hand, both hands of the guardian become free, and it becomes possible to help the child instantaneously when the child is about to fall off the bench.

1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment; FIG. It is a front view which shows the state which attached the parasol. It is a perspective view which shows the use condition of a bench. It is a perspective view showing a second embodiment. It is a perspective view which shows 3rd Embodiment.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 10 denotes a seat surface of a bench; In this embodiment, the seating surface 10 is octagonal. As shown in the figure, the portion of the post 11 above the seating surface 10 is an inverted U-shape, and an inverted U-shaped groove 12 is formed in the center. The structure of the part below the bearing surface 10 of the support 11 is arbitrary.

The upper part of the pillar 11 serves as a parasol attachment part 20. - 特許庁The parasol mounting portion 20 is formed by forming a vertical groove 22 into which the shaft of the parasol can be inserted in the side surface of a plate-like main body 21, and by attaching a rotating body 23 to the side of the vertical groove 22.

The plate-like main body 21 requires thickness and rigidity, and in this embodiment, a polyethylene laminated plate with a thickness of 19 mm is used. Since the diameter of the shaft of the parasol is about 10 to 12 mm, the vertical groove 22 has a width and depth of about 13 mm so that the shaft 31 of the parasol 30 can be accommodated snugly as shown in FIG.

A rotating body 23 on the side of the vertical groove 22 can rotate about an axis 24, and in this embodiment, it has a shape in which a portion of a disc is linearly notched. As shown in FIG. 2, if the notch 25 is turned to the opposite side of the longitudinal groove 22, the shaft 31 of the parasol 30 can be restrained so as not to come off the longitudinal groove 22. The shaft 31 of the parasol 30 can be attached and detached by turning it clockwise.

The shape of the rotating body 23 is not necessarily limited to a disk as long as it can restrain the shaft 31 of the parasol 30 and can be attached and detached by rotating it. As the shaft 24, it is preferable to use a stainless steel bolt or the like that does not rust even when exposed to wind and rain. Further, it is desirable to provide rotational resistance to the rotating body 23 so that it does not rotate unless a certain amount of force is applied.

In this way, the vertical groove 22 and the rotating body 23 can restrain the movement of the shaft 31 of the parasol 30 in the front, rear, left, and right directions, but cannot restrain the movement in the vertical direction. Therefore, in the present invention, the longitudinal groove 22 is formed so as to reach the inverted U-shaped groove 12 of the plate-like main body 21 from the top of the plate-like main body 21 . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower end of the runner 32 having a diameter larger than that of the shaft 31 is brought into contact with the top of the plate-like main body 21 to prevent it from slipping down. Further, by storing the handle 33 at the lower end of the shaft 31 inside the inverted U-shaped groove 12, even if the handle 33 is large, it can be prevented from protruding outside from the column 11.例文帳に追加

In this embodiment, the entire portion of the post 11 above the seating surface 10 is formed in an inverted U shape, but the inverted U-shaped plate-like main body 21 may be attached to the upper portion of the post 11 . As the support in this case, one having a normal shape can be used.

By holding the parasol 30 brought by the guardian on the parasol mounting portion 20 on the top of the support 11 in this manner, a shade can be formed on the seat surface 10 of the bench as shown in FIG. Since both hands are free for the guardian, it becomes possible to protect the child immediately.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a second embodiment of the invention. In this second embodiment, supports 11 are erected on both left and right ends of a horizontally long seat surface 10, and the upper part of each support 11 serves as a parasol mounting portion 20. As shown in FIG. Since the position of the sun changes depending on the time of day, the user can attach the parasol 30 to either the left or right pole 11 depending on the time of day.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the seat surface 10 has a circular shape, and supports 11 are formed radially at four locations. If a large number of posts 11 are provided in this manner, a shade can be formed on the seating surface 10 by attaching the parasol 30 to the post 11 at the optimum position even if the position of the sun changes. In addition, when there are a plurality of guardians, it is possible to attach the parasol 30 to a plurality of supports 11 to extend the shade.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to use the user's parasol 30 to easily provide a bench with a shade at a low cost. It goes without saying that a rain umbrella may be used instead of the parasol.
