[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an umbrella dewatering device capable of instantly dewatering a rain-wet umbrella and carrying the umbrella indoors without having to wet the floor surface with rainwater.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional umbrella dewatering device of this type, there is one having a structure as shown in FIG. 1, for example. That is, 1 is a suction frame which is formed on a circular concave curved surface 2 corresponding to the curved surface of the opened rain umbrella surface, and a plurality of suction ports 3 are formed on this concave curved surface 2 at close intervals. A water absorbing sheet 4 made of a sheet material having excellent water absorbing property such as cotton cloth and chamois is attached to the surface of the suction frame 1 where the suction port 3 is formed, that is, the concave curved surface. Each suction port 3 provided in the suction frame 1 is communicated with a suction duct 5, and a vacuum pump 7 is installed at the end of the suction duct 5. Reference numeral 8 is a drive motor for the vacuum pump 7, 9 is an exhaust port, and 10 and 11 are drain ports. Reference numeral 12 denotes an opened umbrella, and 13 denotes the umbrella cloth.

When the wet umbrella 12 is dehydrated by the conventional umbrella dehydrator having the above-described structure, the umbrella is first opened and the umbrella cloth 13 surface of the umbrella is opened. When the drive motor 9 is driven while being brought into contact with the concave curved surface 2 of the suction frame 1, each suction port of the suction frame 1 becomes a negative pressure, and the negative pressure action causes the wet umbrella cloth 13 to absorb water. As a result, the water on the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 is absorbed by the water absorbing sheet 4, and as a result, the water on the surface of the umbrella cloth 13 is absorbed by the water absorbing sheet 4, and the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth 13 is absorbed. , Will be removed immediately. The water adsorbed on the water absorbing sheet 4 is discharged from the drain ports 10 and 11 through the suction ports 3 and the suction duct 5 by the suction force of the vacuum pump 7, and the intake air is discharged from the exhaust port 9.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional umbrella dewatering device, since the concave curved surface 2 which is the moisture suction surface of the suction frame 1 has a constant curvature, the closeness of the umbrella cloth to the concave curved surface is poor. Met. In other words, since the shapes of commercially available umbrellas are different and the curvatures of the umbrellas in the open state are not uniform, the umbrellas are opened and the suction of the constant curvature structure is performed. When applied to the concave curved surface 2 of the frame 1, it is difficult for the entire surface of the umbrella cloth to come into contact with the concave curved surface 2 due to the difference in the curvature, which makes it difficult to expect effective dehydration of the entire surface of the umbrella cloth. It was

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and in a suction frame having a circular concave curved surface corresponding to the surface of an opened umbrella cloth with a large number of suction ports, the suction frame surface A flexible displacement member capable of displacing the opening position of the suction port is provided on the edge of each suction port formed on the base, and the flexible displacement member is provided according to the change in the curvature of the opened umbrella cloth or the surface unevenness. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dewatering device for an umbrella, in which the suction port can be brought into close contact with the surface of the umbrella cloth to enhance the water removal efficiency of the umbrella cloth.

【Example】

 The present invention will be described in detail below based on the embodiment shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 21 denotes a suction frame formed in a circular concave curved surface corresponding to the umbrella cloth surface of the opened rain umbrella 12, and a large number of suction ports 22 are provided on the concave curved surface side of the suction frame 21. Formed at close intervals. Each suction port 22 communicates with an exhaust duct 24 via a common ventilation path 23. An extension pipe 25, which is slidable in the axial direction of the suction port 22, is airtightly fitted to the opening of each suction port 22, and the tip end of each extension pipe 25 is made of, for example, rubber or the like. A skirt member 26 made of a highly flexible material is attached. A spring 27 for pushing the extension pipe 25 outward is provided in each of the suction ports 22. 28 is a stopper of the spring 27.

The exhaust duct 24 is connected to the same vacuum pump as described in the conventional example of FIG.

The configuration of the present embodiment is as described above. Next, the operation thereof will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella 12 to be dehydrated is brought into an open state, and the umbrella cloth surface is sucked by the suction frame 21. The skirt member 26 provided at the tip of each elongated tube 25 is brought into contact with the rim of the skirt member 26. When a vacuum mechanism (not shown) is driven there, a negative pressure is generated in the suction frame 21, and this negative pressure sucks the umbrella 12, and the skirt member 26 provided at the tip of each extension pipe closely contacts the surface of the umbrella cloth 13. To be done. Since this skirt member 26 has sufficient flexibility, each skirt member 26 conforms to the unevenness of the open umbrella surface and is brought into close contact with the umbrella cloth surface, so that the opening edge of the skirt member 26 and the umbrella cloth 13 surface are Airtightness is improved.

Further, since the extension pipe 25 holding the skirt member 26 is provided so as to be expandable and contractable with respect to the suction port 22, it is an umbrella having a different opening curvature due to the expansion and contraction action of the extension pipe 25. Also, the skirt member 26 can be surely brought into close contact with the surface of the umbrella cloth.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the skirt member 26 can be airtightly joined to the surface of the umbrella cloth even if the umbrella has various shapes with different curvatures for opening the umbrella. The pressure can be effectively exerted on the entire surface of the umbrella 12, and the rain umbrellas of various shapes can be effectively and surely dehydrated.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, the present invention has the suction frame 21 which is formed in a circular concave curved surface corresponding to the surface of the opened umbrella cloth and has a large number of suction ports 22 formed in the entire circular concave surface. In the dewatering device for an umbrella, an extension pipe 25, which is displaceable in the axial direction of the suction port, is airtightly fitted to each of the suction ports 22, and a flexible material is formed at the tip opening of the extension pipe 25. A skirt member 26 is attached, and the extension tube 25 is an umbrella dewatering device that is urged outward by the elastic force of the spring 27. Even in umbrellas of various shapes, the scart member 26 can be airtightly joined to the surface of the umbrella cloth, so that the negative pressure in the suction frame 21 can be effectively applied to the entire surface of the umbrella 12. Effective and reliable dehydration of umbrellas of various shapes Effect of being is obtained.
