Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella dewatering device for instantly dewatering a rain-wet umbrella and carrying the umbrella indoors without having to wet the floor surface with rainwater.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional umbrella dewatering device of this type, there is one having a structure as shown in FIG. That is, reference numeral 1 denotes an umbrella receiver whose upper opening opens in a morning glory shape, and a porous plate 3 is attached to the inner surface of the umbrella receiver 1 with a gap 2 for ventilation. Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the porous plate 3, a water absorbing sheet 4 made of a sheet material having excellent water absorbing property such as cotton cloth and seine leather is additionally provided.

The lower end opening of the umbrella receiver 1 is connected via a duct 5 to an intake casing 7 containing a sirocco fan 6 therein. Reference numeral 8 is a motor for driving the sirocco fan 6, 9 and 10 are drainage ports and exhaust ports provided in the intake casing 7, and 11
Is a water tank for receiving the water discharged from the drain port 9, and 14 is a switch for driving the motor 8 when the rain umbrella 12 is inserted into the umbrella receiver 1.

The conventional umbrella dewatering device has the above-mentioned structure, and when dewatering an umbrella wet with rainwater,
First, the motor 8 is driven to rotate the sirocco fan 6 to bring the inside of the morning glory-shaped umbrella receiver 1 into a negative pressure state, and then the wet umbrella 12 is inserted into the inside of the umbrella receiver 1. The umbrella cloth 13 that is wet due to the negative pressure is adhered to the water absorbent sheet 4, the moisture of the umbrella cloth 13 is absorbed by the water absorbent sheet 4, and the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth 13 is directly removed. . The water absorbed by the water absorbing sheet 4 is sucked by the driving force of the fan 6 and accumulated in the water tank 11.

[0005]

However, in such a conventional umbrella dewatering device, since the bone portion of the umbrella cloth 13 does not touch the water absorbing sheet 4, water cannot be drained from that portion.
Further, when the umbrella 12 for dehydration is randomly inserted into the umbrella receiver 1, a gap is created between the umbrella cloth 13 of the umbrella 12 and the water absorbing sheet 4, so that the umbrella cloth 13 and the water absorbing sheet 4 are separated from each other. Since the adhesion is poor, the negative pressure due to the driving force of the sirocco fan 6 acts on the space between the umbrella cloth 13 and the water absorbing sheet 4,
There is a problem that the efficiency of adsorbing the moisture adhering to the umbrella cloth 13 to the water absorbing sheet 4 is low, and it is difficult for the rain umbrella to effectively perform the dehydrating action quickly.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and can be brought into contact with the surface of an opened umbrella cloth, and a peripheral surface thereof is covered with a water absorbing sheet. By forming a drum-shaped roll and rolling this drum-shaped roll along the surface of the opened umbrella, the rainwater adhering to the surface of the umbrella is quickly and effectively absorbed and removed by the drum-shaped roll. It is to provide an umbrella dehydrator that can.
