Also, since the umbrella body is covered with a thin film made of synthetic resin, you can carry it with confidence without worrying that your belongings, clothes, etc. will get wet with a wet umbrella, nor will you worry about the coating of others. Furthermore, since it is made of a synthetic resin thin film, it is lightweight and inexpensive. However, conventional covers have various drawbacks. For example, the conventional cover is formed of a thin film made of synthetic resin as a mere bag and has not been specially devised for mounting, and thus has a drawback that it is difficult to mount on the umbrella body. In particular, the cover is used for wet umbrellas, so it is difficult to attach the synthetic resin thin film to wet umbrellas. Further, since the conventional cover is formed as a mere bag, there is a trouble that the cover must be consciously pressed so that the cover does not slip off when it is mounted and carried. That is, since the cover is formed as a simple bag, when rainwater collects on the bottom of the cover, the cover surely slides off the umbrella body due to the weight of the rainwater, so the cover must be pressed at the same time. Further, the conventional cover is formed of a thin film made of synthetic resin and is inexpensive, so that it is convenient for disposable use, but disposable use is not preferable in terms of resource and environment. Even if it is intended to be used repeatedly, it is the structure that can be used repeatedly, so the reality is that it must be discarded. The present invention is intended to provide an umbrella cover that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks or problems of the conventional cover. Specifically, it completely protects your belongings and others from the wet umbrella body. A canopy cover that is easy to put on, can be worn, and can be used repeatedly without being pressed by hand, and can be used repeatedly. There is.

The umbrella body 26 is opened and closed with respect to the umbrella shaft extending from the handle 25. The tip of the umbrella 10 is provided with a stone foot 27.

As shown in FIG. 1, the umbrella cover K according to the first embodiment is composed of a first ring body 1, a second ring body 10 and a flexible cover portion 8. There is. The first ring body 1 is formed in a ring shape from a relatively rigid resin. The diameter is not particularly limited as long as it is larger than the diameter of the handle 24 of the umbrella 23, but in the present embodiment, it is formed to have substantially the same diameter as the second ring body 10 described later. The first ring body 1 is formed of a donut-shaped ring portion 2 and a flange portion 3 extending substantially at right angles to the ring portion 2. Then, a stretchable and contractible film 4 is attached to the lower surface of the ring portion 2 by a means such as adhesion, and a hole 5 is formed substantially in the center thereof. The hole 5 of the membrane 4 is selected to have a size through which the grip portion 24 and the handle 25 of the umbrella 23 can pass, but the main body portion 26 of the closed umbrella 23 cannot pass. Therefore, in this embodiment, the film 4 constitutes a locking member. On the outer side of the flange portion 3, the other snap 6 cooperating with a snap described later is attached.

The second ring body 10 is also formed in a ring shape from a relatively rigid resin. That is, like the first ring body 1, it is formed in a ring shape from a donut-shaped ring portion 12 and a flange portion 13 extending substantially at right angles to the ring portion 12. The inner diameter of the ring portion 12 is sufficiently larger than the diameter of the main body portion 26 of the closed umbrella 23, and has a size that allows the main body portion 26 of the closed umbrella 23 to easily pass therethrough. A connecting band 17 is attached to the outer side of the second ring body 10, and a snap 19 is provided at the tip of the connecting band 17. The flexible cover portion 8 that covers substantially the entire main body portion 26 of the closed umbrella 23 is formed of a thin synthetic resin film in a hose shape, and one end portion of the flexible cover portion 8 is formed by the flange portion 3 of the first ring body 1. Inside, and the other end is fused or fixed to the inside of the flange portion 13 of the second ring body 10.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. When the umbrella cover K is not used as a cover, the first ring body 1 and the second ring body 10 are stacked. Then, the flexible cover portion 8 is folded in a bellows type, though irregular. Then, the snap 19 attached to the tip of the connecting band 14 is hooked on the snap 6 of the first ring body 1. Make it compact like this and carry it in a pocket, bag, or store it. When using, the umbrella 23 is folded. Then, the second ring body 10 is passed through the grip portion 24 of the umbrella 23. Then, since the first ring body 1 is provided with the locking member composed of the expandable and contractible film 4 and the hole 5, the umbrella cover K is attached to the handle 25 of the umbrella 23 by the first ring body 1. Locked in. Remove the snaps 6 and 19 and lower the second ring body 10. Then, the umbrella body 26 is covered with the cover portion 8. This state is shown in FIG. Carry or store the umbrella 23. When the umbrella cover K is attached when the umbrella 23 is wet, there is no fear that one's belongings, clothes, etc. will get wet with the wet umbrella, and no one will bother others. When the umbrella 23 is dry, the umbrella body 26 is protected from dust, ultraviolet rays and the like.

When the umbrella cover K is not used, it can be made compact and put in a bag or the like separately from the umbrella 23 as described above, but can also be attached to the umbrella 23 and carried as follows. it can. That is, as described above, after making it compact, the second ring body 10 is passed through the grip portion 24 of the umbrella 23. Then, since the first ring body 1 is provided with the locking member composed of the expandable and contractible film 4 and the hole 5, the umbrella cover K folded compactly includes the handle 25 of the umbrella 23. Held in. In this way, it can be carried or stored integrally with the umbrella 23. It is obvious that the umbrella 23 can be opened and used as a rain umbrella or parasol with the handle 25 of the umbrella 23 thus passed.

According to the first embodiment, the first and second ring bodies 1 and 10 are provided with snaps 6 and 19, and the first and second ring bodies 1 and 10 are overlapped by the snaps 6 and 19. Since it can be securely stopped in the closed state, it does not open unintentionally and is convenient to carry and store. Further, since the first and second ring bodies 1 and 10 have the same diameter, they can be folded in a compact design when superposed.

In the first embodiment, the locking member is composed of the membrane 4 and the hole 5, but in FIG. 3, it is composed of elastic strings 20, 20, 21, 21 like rubber. A second embodiment is shown. According to the present embodiment, four strings 20, 20, 21, 21 are fixed to the first ring body 1 in a cross pattern. The central portion surrounded by the four strings 20, 20, 21, 21 is a hole 22 through which the handle 25 of the umbrella 23 is passed.
