Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent surely rain from hitting a body directly and the body or the like from receiving rainwater attached to an umbrella cloth by providing an umbrella which can be used in the same state as a conventional umbrella at the time of use and at the time of housing, is housed so that the umbrella cloth may be positioned with its outer side surface on the inside from a dishlike reverse-umbrella state. CONSTITUTION: This umbrella is equipped with an umbrella shaft 1; a fixation wheel 6 fixed at a place a little near to the tip portion of the umbrella shaft 1; a movable wheel 7 fitted slidably to the umbrella shaft 1; and an umbrella cloth 5 whose center portion is fixed at the fixation wheel 6. In addition, this umbrella is equipped with plural parent ribs 9 that have elasticity and whose one-end portions are pivotingly supported at the outer periphery portion of the movable wheel 7 and whose other end portions are fixed at the tip portion of the umbrella cloth 5 at predetermined intervals; and receiving ribs 12 whose one-end portions are pivotingly supported at the outer periphery portion of the fixation wheel 6 and whose other end portions are pivotingly supported at the approximate center portions of the parent ribs 9.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella, and more particularly to an umbrella in which the outer surface of an umbrella cloth can be positioned inside and stored.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional umbrella has a structure in which a rain-wet umbrella cloth is placed in a housed state with its outer surface facing outward.

[0003]

In the conventional umbrella, the movable cloth is slid downward to close the umbrella cloth from the used state to the stored state. However, storing in this state can be done without the rainwater adhering to the umbrella cloth being received by the body by positioning the tip part downward in a place where it will not be exposed to rain. Since the umbrella cloth is closed from this state, there is a drawback that the rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth is received by the body. Further, when the umbrella cloth is stored in a normal storage state, there is a drawback that rain directly hits the body and gets wet.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention has been made.
When used, it can be used in the same state as a conventional umbrella, and when storing it, the umbrella cloth is stored from the inverted umbrella shape so that the outer surface of the umbrella cloth is located inside, and when storing It is an object of the present invention to provide an umbrella that can reliably prevent the body or the like from hitting the body or receiving rainwater attached to the umbrella cloth.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the description is read next with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the scope of the present invention.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an umbrella shaft, a fixed wheel fixed to a portion of the umbrella shaft near the tip end portion, and a slidably attached to the umbrella shaft. A movable roller, an umbrella cloth whose central portion is fixed to the fixed roller, one end of which is pivotally supported by the outer periphery of the movable roller, and the other end of which is fixed to the tip of the umbrella cloth at a predetermined interval. A plurality of elastic ribs, one end of which is pivotally supported on the outer periphery of the fixed rocker, and the other end of which is a rib that is pivotally supported at approximately the center of the rib. The umbrella is constructed by shifting from the reverse umbrella open state in which the outer side surface of the umbrella cloth is located inside to the stored state during the storage in which the umbrella is slid.

[0007]

In the umbrella configured as described above, when the movable rocker is slid upward, the ribs are opened like a dish by the ribs with the movable rock as a fulcrum. When the movable wheel is further slid upward, the tip of the rib is pivoted downward from the part pivotally supported by the bone, and the ordinary umbrella is opened. Further, when storing, by sliding the movable wheel downwards, the operation opposite to the above is performed and the outer surface of the umbrella cloth is stored inside.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, reference numeral 1 is an umbrella shaft, and a bead 2 is formed at the tip of the umbrella shaft 1 and a handle 3 is provided at the rear end. Are formed.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a framework for supporting an umbrella cloth 5 made of a waterproof sheet material such as a waterproof cloth or vinyl so that the umbrella cloth 5 can be opened and closed.
Is a fixed wheel 6 for fixing the central portion of the umbrella cloth 5 fixed to a portion near the tip of the umbrella shaft 1, a movable wheel 7 slidably attached to the umbrella shaft 1, and the movable wheel 7. A plurality of elastic ribs 9, one end of which is pivotally supported by a pivot pin 8 such as a wire at a predetermined interval on the outer peripheral portion of 7, and the other end of which is fixed to the tip of the umbrella cloth 5 at a predetermined interval. A plurality of rods, one end of which is pivotally supported at a predetermined interval on the outer periphery of the fixed wheel 6 by a pivot pin 10 such as a wire, and the other end of which is pivotally supported by a pivot pin 11 at substantially the center of the rib 9. Bones of 12
It consists of and.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an urging spring for urging the movable wheel 7 mounted below the fixed wheel 6 downward.

Reference numeral 14 is a holding metal fitting for holding the movable wheel 7 so that the umbrella cloth 5 attached to a portion near the upper portion of the umbrella shaft 1 is held in an open state.

Reference numeral 15 is a locking metal fitting for locking the movable wheel so as to maintain the closed state of the umbrella cloth 5 attached to the lower portion of the umbrella shaft 1.

When the umbrella 16 having the above-mentioned structure is used, when the movable lock 7 is released from the locked state with the locking fitting 15 and slid upward, the rib 9 uses the movable lock 7 and the skeleton 12 as a fulcrum. , As shown in FIG. 4, open in a dish shape.

Further, when the movable wheel 7 is slid upward, as shown in FIG. 5, the tip of the rib 9 is lowered with the pivot pin 11 which pivotally supports the rib 12 and the rib 9 as a fulcrum. When the movable wheel 7 is released in this state, it is pressed downward by the biasing spring 13 to be in an open state similar to the open state of an ordinary umbrella. 7 is held by the holding metal fitting 14. Use in this state.

In the next storage, the movable lock 7 is released from the holding state with the holding metal fitting 14 and is slid downward so that the skeleton 12 and the rib 9 can be moved as shown in FIG.
The tip end portion of the rib 9 pivots upward with the pivot pin 11 that pivotally supports and as a fulcrum, and the umbrella cloth 5 is in a dish-like open state. Further, the movable lock 7 is slid downward to move the locking metal fitting 1
When the umbrella cloth 5 is locked to the inside of the umbrella cloth 5, the outside surface of the umbrella cloth 5 is placed inside.
