Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Purpose of the invention This invention relates to an umbrella holder for storing rain-soaked umbrellas as is, and is intended to be used primarily in automobiles.

Conventional Issues In the past, everyone has experienced that when it rains in a car, especially a passenger car, bringing a wet umbrella into the car can wet the seats and clothes, making it extremely unwieldy to dispose of it.

However, even now, the only effective countermeasure is to prepare a long and narrow plastic bag and put it in it.

The main reason for this is that the space inside the car is extremely small.
There is no space to put an umbrella or an existing umbrella holder without getting in the way.
In addition, even though various umbrella holders for automobiles have been devised, it is difficult to install or attach an umbrella holder structure to the car body, seats, etc. due to their structure and manufacturing.
This is also likely due to the fact that nothing that is cost-effective has yet been developed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and aims to effectively solve the above-mentioned conventional problems by providing an umbrella holder of the present invention which has an extremely simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost. It is.

Structure of the present invention (1) The present invention provides an umbrella case main body by winding a long plate of a set width into a bamboo shoot spring shape that has a hollow part of a set diameter and can be expanded and contracted. This umbrella holder is constructed by attaching the lower edge of the outer peripheral plate of the main body to a suitable case, saucer, etc.

(2) Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
The umbrella case main body 1 is provided by winding it into a bamboo shoot spring shape that has a hollow part 2 of a set diameter and can be expanded and contracted. The lower edge 1a' is attached to an appropriate case 3, saucer, etc.

(3) The umbrella case main body 1 is always in a contracted state (when not in use), and when in use, the inner peripheral plate (innermost part of the wrapped long plate 1a) upper edge 1a'' is moved upward. The umbrella 4 is pulled and expanded to a predetermined length in the shape of a bamboo shoot spring, and the expanded state is supported by appropriate means, and the umbrella 4 is inserted into the hollow portion 2 through the upper end opening 5.

Further, if necessary, a ring-shaped disk 7 having an umbrella insertion guide hole 6 is attached to the upper edge 1a''.

(4) In the illustrated example, the lower edge 1a' of the outer circumferential plate of the umbrella case body 1 is attached to the inner bottom plate of the case 3, which is, for example, short cylindrical in shape and size to accommodate the umbrella case body 1 in a contracted state. Furthermore, if necessary, a drain 8 is provided on the bottom plate of the case 3. 9 is a lid of the case 8. Note that the structure of the case is not limited to the above, and may be any suitable structure.

(5) The set width of the long plate 1a constituting the umbrella case main body 1 is, for example, about 70 to 80 mm, and the set diameter of the hollow part 2 into which the umbrella 4 is inserted is, for example, about 60 to 70 mm.
Further, the set dimension of the bamboo shoot spring-like extension can be freely adjusted according to the length of the umbrella, for example, a regular Western umbrella, a folding umbrella, a ladies' umbrella, etc.

The means for supporting the umbrella case main body 1 in the extended state may be any suitable means, but for example, hooks may be provided for each set size on the seat back plate of an automobile, and the plate 7
support by engaging a part of the

(6) In addition, the disk 7 to be attached to the upper edge 1a'' of the inner circumferential plate is formed, for example, in the shape of a concave dish, with ribs 10 protruding from the circumference, and on the inner circumferential surface of the umbrella insertion guide hole 6. A vertical groove 11 is cut so that the water squeezed when the umbrella 4 is inserted into the hole 6 flows into the hollow part 2 without overflowing to the outside of the disc.

(7) The umbrella holder of the present invention is mainly made of metal or plastic.

Function (1) For example, an umbrella case 3 stored in a contracted state is installed under the seat of a passenger car, and when used, it is pulled out, grasping the disc 7 of the umbrella case main body 1 and pulling it upward. The disc 7 is extended like a bamboo shoot spring and is supported by a hook or the like on a seat back plate, and the wet umbrella 4 is inserted into the hollow part 2 through the umbrella insertion guide hole 6 while slightly twisting.

(2) The length of extension of the umbrella case body 1 is adjusted to match the size of the umbrella.

(3) The water flowing down along the inner peripheral surface of the plate inside the hollow part 2 can be stored in the case 3 and disposed of at any time, or the drain 8 of the case 3 can be directly opened outside the bottom plate of the vehicle body or connected to a drain. The pipes are opened to the outside of the vehicle body and water is drained through them.

Effects (1) When not in use (at all times), when folded and stored in the case, it is about the size of a canned food with a diameter and height of about 10 cm, so it can be stored unobtrusively under the seat of a passenger car, and is protected from rain or rain. Since it can be easily taken out and used at any time, there is no problem of installation space even in a narrow car interior.

(2) Since it is stretchable, it can be easily adjusted according to the size of the umbrella.

(3) Since it is extendable, for example, if the ceiling of your car is low and it is difficult to insert a long umbrella, instead of inserting the umbrella holder in an extended state,
After inserting the tip of the umbrella while it is still flexed,
By holding the disc and gradually extending it, it can be inserted without any problem.

(4) The long plates form a bamboo shoot spring-like spiral, and the side edges of the plates overlap, and the lower edges of the plates are always located on the inside (on the hollow side) of the inner circumferential surface of the hollow part, so that the umbrella's water always flows down along the inner circumference side,
There is no risk of leakage to the outside, so there is no risk of getting your clothes or other clothes wet even if you touch the outside of the umbrella holder.

(5) The water that has flowed down into the case may be stored and disposed of at any time, but if you use a drain to drain the water out of the car using a hole prepared in advance, you can completely eliminate the risk of getting the inside of the car wet. .

(6) As mentioned above, since the inner peripheral surface of the hollow part is spiral-shaped,
By twisting the handle while inserting the umbrella, it is possible to insert the umbrella smoothly while squeezing out rainwater, and at the same time, there is an advantage that the umbrella can be wrapped neatly without getting your hands wet.

(7) Since the disc is provided with ribs and vertical grooves, the water squeezed when the umbrella is inserted into the umbrella insertion guide hole can be introduced into the hollow portion without overflowing outside the disc.
