Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a folding umbrella that can be folded or temporarily closed.

<Conventional technology and its problems> Most of the conventional folding umbrellas are two-tier or three-tier, with shortened stems and folding the umbrella ribs outward from the middle, making them easier to carry. Although it is convenient and compact, there are problems such as the need to align the umbrella cloths one by one when folding the umbrella ribs outward, which is time-consuming. Recently, there are umbrellas in which the center part of the umbrella cloth naturally folds inward when the umbrella is closed, and can be easily folded by shortening the umbrella shaft. However, even when the umbrella is temporarily closed, it is folded, so there are problems such as the inability to close the umbrella with the shaft extended.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to provide a folding umbrella that can be easily used for folding and temporarily closing.

<Means for solving the problems> The above object of the present invention can be achieved by an umbrella having the following configuration. That is, the gist is that a fixed upper potter's wheel, a movable middle potter's wheel, and a movable lower potter's wheel are provided from the upper end of the umbrella shaft, the first umbrella rib is pivotally attached to the upper potter's wheel, and the middle part of the middle potter's wheel is attached to the above-mentioned potter's wheel. The inner end of the connecting bone is pivotally attached to the tip of the first umbrella bone, and the second umbrella bone is further pivoted to the tip, and the lower potter's wheel has a socket whose tip is pivotally attached to the middle of the second umbrella bone. The inner end of the bone is pivoted, and a connecting operation part that can be freely connected to the middle potter's wheel is attached, and a locking hole opened in the lower potter's wheel and a stopper part provided at the upper part of the umbrella shaft are attached. This folding umbrella is characterized in that the upper wheel, the middle wheel, and the lower wheel are integrally supported at the upper part of the umbrella shaft by fitting and locking.

<Embodiments and operations> The folding umbrella according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to drawings showing embodiments thereof.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the framework mechanism of the folding umbrella according to the present invention, in which a fixed upper potter's wheel 2 is attached to the upper end of a retractable umbrella shaft 1, and a first umbrella rib 3 is attached to the potter's wheel 2. pivot. Next, a middle potter's wheel 4 that is movable with respect to the umbrella shaft 1 is provided below the upper potter's wheel 2, and a middle part of the middle potter's wheel 4 is pivoted to the tip of the first umbrella rib 3,
Furthermore, a connecting rib 6 to which a second umbrella rib 5 is pivotally attached is connected and pivotally attached to the tip thereof, and an auxiliary umbrella rib 7 is connected and pivotally supported between the first umbrella rib 3 and the second umbrella rib 5. In other words, when the middle potter's wheel 4 is brought into contact with the upper potter's wheel 2, the connecting rib 6 becomes integral with the first umbrella rib 3 and the second umbrella rib 5.

Furthermore, a lower potter's wheel 8 that is movable with respect to the umbrella shaft 1 is provided below the middle potter's wheel 4, and a support bone 9 for supporting the second umbrella rib 5 is attached to the lower potter's wheel 8, and the second umbrella rib 5
A locking hole 10 is provided in the lower potter's wheel 8, and a connecting operation part 11 which can be freely connected to the middle wheel 4 is attached to the lower potter's wheel 8. 11 has a hook-shaped tip and is connected to the mooring collar 12 formed at the lower end of the inner potter's wheel 4 by the biasing force of a leaf spring incorporated in the connection operation part 11. The mechanism is such that when the connection is to be released, the connection can be manually released against the biasing force of the leaf spring.

Next, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing the umbrella in the open state, that is, when the middle potter's wheel 4 and the lower potter's wheel 8 are connected, the umbrella shaft 1 A stopper portion 13 provided at the lower potter's wheel 8 is inserted into the locking hole 10 of the lower potter's wheel 8 and locked, thereby maintaining the umbrella in the open state.

In the present invention having the above configuration, when folding the umbrella from the open state as shown in Fig. 3, the middle potter's wheel 2
By releasing the lock of the stopper part 13 and pulling it down toward the front with the lower potter's wheel 8 connected, the umbrella can be naturally folded inward from the tip of the first umbrella rib 3.

Next, when temporarily closing the umbrella with the umbrella shaft 1 extended from the open state, first connect the middle potter's wheel 4 and the lower potter's wheel 8 using the connection operation part 11, as shown in FIG. When the lower wheel 8 is released from the stopper part 13 and pulled down toward the front, the lower end edge of the middle wheel 4 touches the stopper part 13.
, and only the lower potter's wheel 4 is pulled down, and the first umbrella rib 3 and the second umbrella rib 5 become integrated,
It can be closed around the upper potter's wheel 2, that is, by making the connection between the middle potter's wheel 4 and the lower potter's wheel 8 freely by the connection operation part 11, the central part of the umbrella rib can be folded into a folded shape. , or a mechanism that can be temporarily closed.

<Effects of the invention> As described above, according to the invention, there is no need for an umbrella from the open state, and when folding, the middle wheel and the lower wheel are kept connected and pulled down. , the central part of the umbrella cloth naturally folds inward, making it easy to fold.

In addition, when temporarily closing the umbrella, the middle potter's wheel and the lower potter's wheel can be disconnected and only the lower potter's wheel can be pulled down to easily close the umbrella.
