Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in the handle of a portable umbrella or a portable cane.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The handle of a conventional portable umbrella is often cylindrical, such as cylindrical. There is no suitable way to hold a wet umbrella on the train, and there is no choice but to hang it by hand. For this reason, it is very inconvenient because the hands for reading luggage or reading newspapers or books are blocked, and the umbrella may come into contact with other people to wet their clothes. Similarly, a suitable holding method is desired for a tubular handle portable cane. Therefore, there are various proposals for holding an umbrella with respect to a tubular handle.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-87521 proposes a folding type hanging device which can be integrated with a handle.
In this method, it can be hung on handrails, but it cannot be fixed to a wall surface, especially a vertical wall. Also, the design is remarkably different from conventional products and lacks fashionability.

In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-30970, a magnet is used to enable fixing to a wall surface. Since magnets act only on metals, they cannot be used for building materials such as wood, stone, and plastic. Also, it is strong against the force in the direction perpendicular to the metal surface, but weak against the force parallel to the surface. For example, even if you try to hang it on a vertical wall, the weight of the umbrella pulls it and it slides downward. There are many problems such as falling.

In Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-24091, the use of a suction cup is proposed. By the combination of the suction cup and the flat body,
Regarding the purpose of holding the umbrella, almost satisfactory results are obtained, but the following improvements are desired. That is, since the suction cup is attached to the outside of the umbrella, the aesthetic appearance is significantly impaired, and the suction cup may be damaged due to contact with a hard object around the suction cup. Like umbrellas, umbrellas are a part of fashion, and in practice, appearance as well as function plays an important role. Further, the suction cup is made of soft plastic and is very easily scratched, and even a small scratch loses the suction function.

In addition to this, various proposals have been made such as opening a loop-shaped hanging cord and tying it to a rod or the like, as in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-103413, but both the aesthetic appearance and the holding function are satisfied. There is nothing to do.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention is to cope with the above-mentioned situation, has a beautiful appearance, and can be easily held on a wall surface, a window frame, an arm of a chair, or the like in a train or the like. The object of the present invention is to provide a portable umbrella or a portable cane capable of performing.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is
The following measures are taken to achieve the above object.
That is, a storage chamber is provided in the handle of an umbrella or a cane, a suction cup connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber by a string is stored in the storage chamber, and a lid for taking out the suction cup when necessary is further provided in the storage chamber. , The suction cup is integrated with the lid, the size of the suction cup is set in the range of 18 mm to 24 mm in diameter, the material of the suction cup mounting seat is made of a rubber-like elastic material, and the outer circumference of the handle is further increased. It is to make the surface smooth so that the sucker can suck it.

The above invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cylindrical handle of an umbrella, which is joined to a main shaft of the umbrella by a screw joint portion 6. A storage chamber 2 is provided inside the main body 1 of the handle, and an openable / closable lid 3 is attached via a joint 8. The suction cup 4 is connected to the inner wall of the storage chamber 2 by the connecting cord 5 and is stored in the storage chamber 2. A groove 7 is cut in the upper part of the handle body 1, and when the lid is closed, it serves as a through hole connecting the storage chamber and the outside of the handle, and serves as a passageway for the string 5 when the sucker is taken out and used. FIG. 2 shows a usage state in which the handle of FIG. 1 is used. The suction cup 4 is taken out from the storage chamber 2, the string 5 is passed through the groove 7, and the lid 3 is closed. When the suction cup is pressed against the smooth wall surface 9, the umbrella is held on the wall surface. As is clear from the above explanation, the appearance of the handle with the suction cup inside is completely the same as the conventional product, and even when the suction cup is used, only one thin string comes out from the handle body, and there is no aesthetic problem. . Further, the suction cup is not limited to metal, and if it is a smooth surface, it strongly adheres to a vertical wall or a horizontal wall, so that the umbrella is held stably. further,
The suction cup is safely stored inside the handle and does not come into contact with the outside, so it does not get scratched and can maintain its suction function for a long time.

FIG. 3 shows an example in which a suction cup is integrated with a lid.
The suction cup 4 is adhered to the back surface of the lid 3. The connecting string 5 is tied to the base portion of the suction cup 4 and is connected to the storage room inner wall. The lid 3 must be separable from the handle body 1. Screwing or various commonly used joining methods can be used. FIG. 4 schematically shows a usage state of the handle of FIG. Since the suction cup is fixed to the wall while being integrated with the lid,
The shape of the sucker disappears because it is hidden by the shadow of the lid, resulting in a more beautiful appearance. Further, since it is integrated with the lid, the suction cup can be easily taken out from the storage chamber, which is convenient.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which the material of the seat for attaching the suction cup 4 to the lid 3 is a rubber-like elastic body. If the mounting part is easily deformed when attaching or detaching the suction cup or when crimping on a curved surface,
Workability is significantly improved. The elastic member 10 is made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or various synthetic polymers, such as polyurethane-based, polyolefin-based, or polyester-based elastic bodies. The suction cup can be attached by adhesion,
The elastic member 10 and the suction cup 4 may be integrally molded.

FIG. 6 is a plan view of a prismatic handle. The outer peripheral surface was made smooth so that the suction cup could adsorb. For wood, the coating is thick, and for plastic, it can be adsorbed on the surface as it is injection molded. When the suction cup taken out from the handle is adsorbed to the outer peripheral surface, the connecting string becomes a loop shape, and if you wind it around a horizontal bar etc., you can suspend and hold the umbrella, and if you attach it to baggage such as a bag or bag. , Also helps to forget things,
It is convenient.

The material of the handle of the present invention is not particularly limited to wood, metal, plastic and the like. Wood has poor workability,
It has an excellent texture. Plastic has excellent processability and high productivity.

The suction cup may be a commercially available product and is not particularly limited. It is made of polyurethane, polyolefin, polyester, and various elastic materials such as rubber. The size of the sucker is
The diameter is preferably 18 mm or more and 2 mm or less. If it is 18 mm or less, the suction force is weak and the weight of the umbrella or cane cannot be supported. If the thickness is 24 mm or more, the thickness of the handrail pipe that is often used in trains, the diameter is 30 mm to 35 mm
This is because it is relatively large with respect to the thickness of and cannot be adsorbed on the curved surface of the pipe. More preferably, it is 20 mm or more and 22 mm or less.

Various handicraft cords, rubber cords and the like are used as the connecting cords. Rubber cords coated with fibers are particularly easy to handle.
The length of the cord is preferably about 5 cm to 20 cm. The end is fixed to a hook, a ring, the head of a screw, or the like provided on the inner wall of the storage chamber, and the other end is fixed to the base of the suction cup or the member of the mounting seat. With the lid closed, the suction cup and the connecting cord are completely stored in the storage chamber, and the appearance of the handle is the same as the conventional handle.

[0016]

When the device is carried, the suction cup 4 is housed in the storage chamber 2 and the appearance is the same as the conventional product. When holding a wet umbrella or a dirty cane on a wall, window frame, handrail, etc. in a train or building,
The lid 3 is opened, the suction cup 4 is taken out, and suction and position fixing are performed. At this time, since the umbrella is connected to the suction cup 4 by the cooperation cord 5, the umbrella is held in a suspended state or a state in which a stone foot is attached to the floor surface. Also, by sucking the suction cup 4 on the side surface of the handle and forming the cooperation string 5 into a loop shape, it can be used in connection with a bag or the like to prevent a thing left behind.

The connecting cord 5 is a commercially available knitting cord having a diameter of about 1 mm and having a length of 10 cm, and connects the root of the suction cup 4 and the head of a wood screw fixed to the bottom of the storage chamber 2. A folding portable umbrella body weighing about 300g and this handle,
It was connected via a screw joint 6 and put to practical use on a rainy day. In the train, the lid 3 is opened, the suction cup 4 is taken out, the connecting string 5 is passed through the groove 7, and the lid 3 is closed again. The suction cup 4 is strongly adsorbed to a glass window, an aluminum window frame, a plastic-painted wall surface, a chair arm, a metal-plated column having a diameter of about 30 mm, and a wet umbrella can be hung over several tens of minutes. did it.

Second Example FIG. 3 shows an example in which a suction cup and a lid are integrated. Example 1 is the same as Example 1 except that the suction cup 4 was adhered to the back of the lid 3 with a commercially available synthetic rubber adhesive and the groove 7 of the handle body was omitted. In the practical test on the train, the same holding function as that in Example 1 was confirmed. As is clear from FIG. 4, the suction cup 4 when holding the umbrella was hidden behind the lid 3 and hardly visible, and the aesthetic appearance was significantly improved.

Third Example The same pattern as in Example 1 was prepared except that the diameter of the handle was 34 mm and the diameter of the storage chamber was 26 mm. The diameter of the suction cup made of polyurethane is 16mm, 18mm, 20mm, 22m
When the suction force was examined by changing the m, 24 mm, and 26 mm, it was found that 16 mm could not hold the umbrella of about 300 g, and 26 mm could not be sucked onto the mirror-plated pipe having a diameter of 35 mm. 18 mm to 24 mm suction cups can hold the umbrella on a smooth flat surface and 35 mm diameter mirror pipe, while 20 mm and 22 mm suction cups have shown particularly desirable suction forces.

In Example 2, the portion of the lid 3 that enters the storage chamber 2, the cylindrical portion having a diameter of 22 mm and a height of 8 mm is made of a polyurethane elastic body, and the wooden lid portion 3 is used.
And the suction cup 4 having a diameter of 20 mm were bonded with an adhesive. The handle body 1 and the lid 3 were simply joined by inserting the elastic body 10. When the suction cup was removed, the lid 3 became slanted, and the fingernails were easily caught on the suction cup, which significantly improved workability. Further, even when pressure-bonded to a curved surface, it is easy to apply pressure to the edge of the suction cup, and the stability is greatly improved.

Fifth Example FIG. 6 is a plan view seen from above the handle lid. − 30 sides
A handle made of polyamide resin having a square cross section of mm was prepared.
The internal structure is the same as that of the first embodiment except that the cooperation cord 5 is 20 cm. The outer peripheral surface was polished and smoothed so that the suction cup could be adsorbed. Pass the connecting string through the bag hangings,
When the suction cup is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the handle, the bag and the umbrella are integrated. It was convenient to carry both of them, and it was also useful as a measure to prevent lost items when using a rack on the train. Of course, you can use the same method to hang the umbrella on the pipe of the handrail.

Sixth Example The handle manufactured in the fifth example was attached to a foldable portable cane for trial use. Convenient for holding canes in buildings and trains,
Having it integrated with a bag or bag was useful as it helped prevent lost items.
