Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a handle for a Western umbrella such as a bat umbrella or a parasol.

[Conventional technology and problems]

Traditionally, Western umbrellas have a handle attached to the tail of the middle stick,
It is known that the umbrella is provided with a grip for holding the umbrella at hand.

However, conventional handles only have the function of holding a Western umbrella, and do not have other functions, resulting in a lack of versatility. By the way, in recent years, trips to sightseeing spots have become more frequent, and people often use cameras to take pictures of each place, but in case of rain, it is necessary to carry a Western umbrella while sightseeing. Due to unavoidable circumstances,
It is difficult to operate the camera while holding a Western umbrella.

[Means for solving problems]

The inventor of the present invention focused on the fact that the above problem could be solved by making it possible to easily operate the camera while holding a Western umbrella in case of rain, etc., and constructed the technical means for this purpose as follows: At the hand attached to the tail of the middle rod of the Western umbrella: a grip part for holding the Western umbrella at the hand;
a camera support part which is pivotally connected to the grip part so as to be rotatable up and down and which supports the camera in a detachable manner; the grip part is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the camera support part which is erected; , in that a locking portion for holding a part of the camera support portion protrudes from both sides of the receiving groove.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a Western umbrella 1 is a cormorant umbrella or a parasol, and is either a long umbrella or a folding umbrella, and is equipped with a middle rod 2. The handle 3 of the present invention is preferably used for a folding umbrella, and is detachably attached to the tail of the middle rod 2, and has a grip 4 for holding the umbrella 1 and a camera 6 detachably attached. It also includes a camera support section 5 for supporting the camera.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the grip 4 of the hand 3 is made of plastic and has a cylindrical or prismatic shape, and has a female threaded hole 7 that opens at the tip. A male screw portion 8 formed at the tail portion of the center rod 2 is removably screwed into the rod. The conventional folding umbrella center rod 2 generally has such a male threaded part 8 formed in the tail part, and the handle is screwed into the male threaded part 8. The handle 3 of the present invention can be screwed into the umbrella through the female threaded hole 7 by using the male threaded part 8 of the center rod 2 as it is.

The camera support portion 5 is formed into an arm shape of metal or plastic, and the tail portion of the camera support portion 5 is pivotally attached 9 to one side of the tail end portion of the grip portion 4 about a horizontal axis. This camera support portion 5 has a slit 10 extending in the longitudinal direction formed in the middle of the arm, and a wide groove portion 11 is continuously provided along one side of the slit 10. A camera mounting bolt 12 is slidably guided in the slit 10.
2, the bolt body 14 following the head 13 is inserted into the slit 10, and a ring 15 housed in the wide groove 11 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the body 14 to prevent the bolt from coming off from the slit. are doing. Thus, the camera 6 is fixed onto the camera support section 5 by screwing the inserted end of the bolt body 14 from the slit 10 into the female tripod screw hole provided at the bottom of the camera 6. I can do it. The female tripod screw hole provided at the bottom of the camera 6 is formed at different positions in the width direction of the camera depending on the type of product. In this case, the camera mounting bolt 12 can be easily aligned by sliding it along the slit 10.

The camera support part 5 is pivotally mounted 9 to the grip part 4 so as to be able to rotate up and down, and the grip part 4 has a receiving groove 16 on one side for receiving the camera support part 5 raised up. Be prepared. In addition, when the raised camera support part 5 is received in the receiving groove 16, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. Locking portions 17, 17 that hold a portion of the camera support portion 5 are provided in a protruding manner. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, a recess 18 is formed at a midway point in the longitudinal direction of the receiving groove 16 to receive the inserted end of the bolt body 14 of the camera mounting bolt 12. are doing. On the other hand, at the tail end of the grip part 4, as shown in FIG.
A support part 19 that supports the camera support part 5 from below.
is formed.

Note that the camera support portion 5 is pivotally attached to the grip portion 4 9.
As shown in FIG. 4, it is composed of a headed cylindrical nut 20 and a headed cylindrical bolt 21. That is,
With the tail part of the camera support part 5 fitted into the receiving groove 16, the headed cylinder nut 20 and the headed cylinder bolt 21 inserted from both sides of the grip part 4 are screwed together to form a head part of each. The tail portion of the camera support portion 5 is clamped within the receiving groove 16 by screwing the headed cylinder nut 20 and the headed cylinder bolt 21 through the coin grooves 20a and 21a.

When attaching the camera 6 to the camera support part 5 in the hand 3 according to this embodiment, the camera support part 5 is rotated in a prone position relative to the grip part 4 as shown in the second figure, and as described above. Next, the camera mounting bolt 12 can be screwed into the tripod female screw at the bottom of the camera. As a result, the camera 6 is integrally supported by the user's hand 3 as shown in the first figure, so the user can easily operate the camera 6 and take a desired photo while holding the umbrella. On the other hand, when the camera is not needed, after removing the camera 6 from the camera mounting bolt 12, the camera support part 5 is raised and rotated about the pivot part 9, and the receiving groove 16
It should be housed inside. At this time, the camera support part 5 forcibly passes through the locking parts 17, 17 and the receiving groove 16.
Since the camera support portion 5 is housed in the receiving groove 16, the camera support portion 5 will not accidentally rotate and come out of the receiving groove 16. Therefore, when holding the hand 3 while holding a Western umbrella, the raised camera support 5 should be held in place by the grip 4.
You should hold it together. In addition, when the camera 6 is to be supported by the camera support part 5 again, the camera support part 5 is forcibly passed through the locking parts 17, 17 to escape from the receiving groove 16, and is rotated to lie down. The camera 6 may be screwed onto the camera mounting bolt 12 in the same manner as described above.

[Effect of idea]

As a result of configuring this invention as described above, at hand,
Equipped with a grip part for holding a western umbrella and a camera support part for detachably supporting a camera,
Even in situations where you have to walk while holding a Western umbrella, such as in the case of rainy weather, you can hold the Western umbrella with the grip and support the camera with the camera support, allowing you to hold the umbrella while walking at the same time. This has the effect that the camera can be easily operated.

Particularly, according to the present invention, the camera support part is pivotally attached to the grip part so as to be able to move up and down, and the camera support part is received in the receiving groove of the grip part in an erected state. Because it is a portable camera, when you don't need to use the camera to take pictures, you can fold it up into a compact size, and the folded camera support part fits into the receiving groove in the grip, so it doesn't take up much space. The handle is not particularly large in diameter compared to the handle of a regular Western umbrella, and does not cause any trouble or inconvenience when gripping the handle to hold the umbrella.

Moreover, in this folded state, the camera support part is held by the locking parts protruding from both sides of the receiving groove, and is held within the receiving groove, so that the camera support part may not be rotated inadvertently. It does not fall out of the receiving groove and can maintain its folded position, so it can be used like a regular Western umbrella.
