Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable surely preventing an umbrella from being wrongly handled in inserting it into an umbrella-holding bag by attaching to a contact plate which is rotated as the umbrella is inserted an engagement plate whose forward end engages with the opening of the umbrella-holding bag in a setup to draw wide the opening of the umbrella-holding bag laterally with insertion of the umbrella. CONSTITUTION: An umbrella 7 is inserted through an umbrella insertion hole 4 and, putting the forward end of the umbrella 7 on a contact plate 20, the umbrella 7 is pushed downward so as to make the contact plate 20 resist the force of a spring hinge 19 and rotate clockwise. Accompanying this rotation of the contact plate 20, an engagement plate 22 rotates clockwise, resisting the force of a spring hinge 21. The rotation of the engagement plate 22 causes its forward end to be caught by the edge of the opening of an umbrella bag 6 and draw the opening to open wider. A progressive insertion of the umbrella 7 adds a horizontally acting force to a rotatable body 17 with the interposition of the spring hinge 19 and causes the rotatable body 17 to resist the force of a spring hinge 16 and rotate counterclockwise. As a result, the forward end of the engagement plate 22 moves to the left while holding the edge of the opening of the umbrella bag 6, drawing the umbrella bag 6 to open still wider so that the umbrella 7 can be put into it without fail.

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella bag holding device,
More specifically, the present invention relates to an umbrella bag holding device that stores an umbrella in the umbrella bag through an opening of the umbrella bag by inserting the umbrella.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as this type of umbrella bag holding device, a rotatable contact plate is provided at a guide port provided at the upper part of the device, and the lower surface of the contact plate is provided at the edge of the opening of the umbrella bag. There is known a structure in which a tongue piece that engages and widens the opening is provided. In such an umbrella bag holding device,
When the umbrella is inserted from the guide opening with the tip facing downward, the tip of the umbrella is brought into contact with the contact plate, and the contact plate is rotated downward against the biasing force of the spring hinge. With the rotation of the contact plate, the tongue is also rotated downward against the biasing force of the spring hinge. Thus, when the tongue is rotated, the tip of the tongue is caught on the edge of the opening of the umbrella bag and the opening is expanded, and the umbrella is inserted into the expanded opening and the umbrella bag is closed. It is configured to be stored inside.

[0003]

However, in such an umbrella bag holding device, since the distance from the fulcrum of the contact plate, which is the center of rotation of the tongue, to the tip of the tongue is long, the umbrella is held. Since the opening of the bag will be expanded downward, the tip of the umbrella will not be inserted smoothly, and the umbrella bag will be torn by excessive force when the umbrella is inserted. was there.

Further, in this conventional umbrella bag holding device, since the center of rotation of the contact plate is provided in substantially the same plane as the upper surface of the contact plate, the rotation locus of the tip of the tongue piece. There is also a problem that the umbrella cannot be brought close to the direction parallel to the surface of the umbrella bag, and a mistake in hooking the tip of the tongue piece to the edge of the opening of the umbrella bag causes a mistake in storing the umbrella.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and the opening of the umbrella bag can be widened in the lateral direction, and the occurrence of a mistake in storing the umbrella can be reliably suppressed. An object is to provide an umbrella bag holding device.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the umbrella bag holding device according to the present invention comprises:
An umbrella bag holding device for accommodating an umbrella in an umbrella bag by an inserting operation of the umbrella, wherein (a) is biased in a direction opposite to an inserting direction of the umbrella and is pressed by a tip end portion of the umbrella. A contact plate rotated in the inserting direction of the umbrella, (b) biased in a direction opposite to the inserting direction of the umbrella, and rotated in the inserting direction of the umbrella as the contact plate rotates. The tip end portion is provided on the side of the engaging plate engaged with the opening edge of the umbrella bag and (c) the inserted umbrella and is biased in the direction toward the umbrella, and the contact plate is attached to the upper part. At the same time, it is characterized in that it is provided with a rotating body which is rotated in a direction opposite to the urging direction around the lower end portion as the umbrella is inserted.

In such an umbrella bag holding device, when the umbrella is inserted into the device in the direction of rotating the contact plate, the contact plate is rotated in the inserting direction of the umbrella against the biasing force. Along with the rotation of the contact plate, the engagement plate is rotated in the inserting direction of the umbrella against the biasing force, and at the time of this rotation, the tip end of the engagement plate is caught on the edge of the opening of the umbrella bag. When the engagement plate is further rotated, the opening of the umbrella bag is expanded. Thereafter, when the umbrella is further inserted in the insertion direction, a horizontal pressing force is applied to the rotating body via the support points of the contact plates, and when this pressing force becomes larger than the biasing force acting on the rotating body, This rotating body is rotated to a predetermined position against the biasing force. In this way, the opening of the umbrella bag is greatly expanded in the horizontal direction, and the umbrella is smoothly stored in the expanded opening.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the abutting plate has a base end portion which is bent downward and has a rotation center on the tip end side of the bent portion. By doing so, the position of the support point of the abutment plate can be lowered, and thereby the turning locus of the tip of the engagement plate can be made closer to the direction parallel to the surface of the umbrella bag. It is possible to avoid the occurrence of a mistake in hooking the tip portion to the edge of the umbrella bag opening.

Further, it is preferable that a tip portion of the engaging plate is bent downward. By doing so, the insertion of the tip of the engagement plate into the umbrella bag opening can be performed more smoothly, and the occurrence of the above-mentioned hooking error can be more reliably avoided.

Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description given below. However, while the detailed description and specific examples describe the most preferred embodiments, various modifications and variations within the spirit and scope of the invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the detailed description, and therefore, specific examples As described below.

Is taken out in the opened state. When the umbrella 7 is taken out of the umbrella bag holding device 1, the rotating body 17, the contact plate 20 and the engaging plate 22 are in the original positions shown in FIG. 3 due to the urging forces of the spring hinges 16, 19, 21. Return to and wait until the next umbrella is inserted.

According to the umbrella bag holding device 1 of the present embodiment, since the opening 10 of the umbrella bag 6 is widened in the lateral direction, the umbrella 7 is inserted into the umbrella bag 6 at the time of insertion. The umbrella 7 can be smoothly inserted without any trouble such as an excessive force being applied to the umbrella bag 6. Further, since the rotation fulcrum of the contact plate 20 is provided below the contact point of the umbrella 7 with the contact plate 20, the rotation locus of the tip end portion of the engagement plate 22 is suspended by the support shaft 14. The umbrella bag 6 can be brought closer to a direction parallel to the surface of the umbrella bag 6, and the tip of the engagement plate 22 can be reliably hooked to the opening edge 9 of the umbrella bag 6. Further, since the tip of the engaging plate 22 is bent downward, the tip can be smoothly inserted when the tip is inserted into the opening 10. It is possible to eliminate the occurrence of troubles when expanding.

As mentioned above, it is obvious that the present invention can be variously modified. Such modifications are within the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such variations and modifications apparent to those skilled in the art are intended to be within the scope of the following claims.
