 The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 21 denotes an umbrella receiver whose upper opening opens in a morning glory shape, and an air gap 22 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 21. The porous curved plate 23 is provided integrally with the umbrella receiver 21. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the porous curved plate 23, a water absorbing sheet 24 made of a sheet material having excellent water absorbing property such as synthetic leather, chamois or cotton cloth is attached. In addition, the lower end opening of the umbrella receiver 21 is connected to an intake casing 27 having a sirocco fan 26 therein via a duct 25 communicating with the gap 22. Reference numeral 28 is a motor for driving the sirocco fan 26, and 29 is a tray for receiving the moisture 30 discharged from the drain port provided in the intake casing 27. Reference numeral 31 is positioned on the periphery of the upper opening of the umbrella receiver 21, and the surface of the water absorbing sheet 24 on the inner peripheral surface of the umbrella receiver 21 and the umbrella cloth 13 of the umbrella 12 inserted into the inside of the umbrella receiver 21. The blocking plate 31 is positioned so as to close the gap between the two circular arc plates 32a and 32b and both of the circular arc plates 32a and 32b, as shown in FIG. A connecting pin 33 connecting one end of each of 32a and 32b, a connecting belt 34 connected to each other end of each of arcuate plates 32a and 32b, a guide roll 35 that folds back this connecting belt 34, and both arcuate plates. It has a spring 36 for urging the opening 32a, 32b in the opening direction and a handle 37 for operating both arc-shaped plates 32a, 32b. The closing plate 31 has an umbrella receiving member via the connecting pin 33. It is axially supported by the opening of the container 21.

The structure of this embodiment has been described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. The arcuate plates 32 a and 32 b provided in the upper opening of the umbrella receiver 21 are provided with the spring 36. Since it is normally opened by the tension force as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the upper opening of the umbrella receiver 21 is widened, and the work of inserting the umbrella 12 into the umbrella receiver 21 is easy. After inserting the umbrella 12 into the umbrella receiver 21, the handle 37 is operated against the elastic force of the spring so that both arcuate plates 32a and 32b become donut-shaped as shown in FIGS. When the aperture is narrowed, the arcuate plates 32a and 32b on both sides cause a gap generated between the umbrella receiver inner peripheral surface in the upper opening of the umbrella receiver 21 and the umbrella cloth 13. Will be blocked. Therefore, if the motor 28 is driven in this state, the sirocco fan 26 rotates, the negative pressure action in the umbrella receiver 21 is enhanced, and the suction is performed through the through hole 38 formed in the central portion of the closing plate 31. Since the outside air is sucked from the inside of the umbrella cloth through the gap 22 of the umbrella receiver, most of the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 is brought into close contact with the surface of the water absorbing sheet 24 in the umbrella receiver 21 by the outside air suction force.

Therefore, the water adhering to the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 is efficiently absorbed by the water absorbing sheet 24. After dehydration, if the handle 37 is released, the two arcuate plates 32a and 32b are opened by the restoring force of the spring 36, so that the umbrella 12 can be easily taken out from the umbrella receiver.

In the above embodiment, the closing plate 31 is opened and closed by manual operation, but it is also possible to operate it automatically. That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, screw rings 39a and 39b are attached to the bases of both arc-shaped plates 32a and 32b, and a screw rod 40 is provided so as to be meshed with both of these screw rings 39a and 39b. At the same time, a motor 41 for rotating the screw rod 40 is provided, and if the screw rod 40 is normally or reversely rotated by driving the motor 41, both arc-shaped plates 32a, 32b can be opened and closed. it can.

Therefore, if the motor 41 is rotated in the forward direction and the reverse direction by operating a switch (not shown), both arc-shaped plates 32a and 32b can be opened and closed as in the above-described embodiment.
