Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The umbrella according to the present invention is used for general umbrellas such as parasols and rain umbrellas.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, umbrella shafts are made of metal pipe, synthetic resin, wood, bamboo, etc., and almost all shafts are straight. Install below the vertical line that connects Even in a folding umbrella, the shaft is straight. The handle part, which does not interfere with folding the umbrella, has a different shape for both practical use and decoration. Like the umbrella according to claim 1, when the umbrella is opened, the entire shaft, or
Umbrellas with partially folded shafts are missing.

In the shaft of the umbrella according to claim 2, when the umbrella is opened, there is no conventional umbrella that can hold the shaft with an inclination with respect to a vertical line connecting the notch and the runner.

In the umbrella according to claim 3, the shaft is configured to move along the stretcher, but an umbrella having a function in the shaft is not found.

[0005]

The conventional straight shaft is convenient when the umbrella is rolled and folded.
When you insert an umbrella, the shaft comes under the umbrella, so the person holding the umbrella cannot go under the umbrella. Therefore, the person holding the umbrella puts his body between the shaft and the tip of the umbrella. For this reason, since the umbrella is always inserted at a position off the center of the umbrella, the shoulders, back, arms and the like are easily wet by rain.

In order to avoid getting wet with rain, it is conceivable to increase the size of the umbrella or lengthen it in one direction. Not a very realistic method. Therefore, there is a demand for an umbrella that can be placed underneath.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, the shaft of an umbrella is provided with a function in order to solve the problem that the conventional umbrella cannot be placed right under the umbrella, while taking advantage of the size, functionality and features of the conventional umbrella. I decided to have sex. In the umbrella according to claim 1, the umbrella can be opened and the shaft can be bent, and when the umbrella is closed, the shaft is straightened and the umbrella is rolled and folded.

In the umbrella according to the second aspect, the U-shape is used as a shaft retainer from the top to the position where the runner is stopped when the umbrella is opened, and the shaft is fitted into the U-shaped release portion. Connect with the rotary shaft attached to the bottom of the retainer. A pressing plate having a rotating shaft is attached above the shaft pressing member so that when the shaft is inclined, the shaft is fixed at the tip of the pressing plate. The pressing plate freely moves around the shaft pressing as a fulcrum, and the tip of the shaft slides in the middle of the pressing plate.

In the umbrella according to the third aspect, in order to move the position of the shaft, the ribs and stretchers are strengthened, and the shaft is directed toward the tip while also serving as reinforcement when the shaft moves. It is designed to be movable.

[0010]

When the umbrella according to the present invention thus constructed is used, the person holding the umbrella can put his body directly under the umbrella and is prevented from getting wet with rain. It's also convenient when you put an umbrella on another person or when you use it as a matching umbrella, and you don't get wet in the rain. Since the shaft can be bent arbitrarily and its inclination and position can be changed, the function of the shaft can be utilized depending on how it rains or the taste of the person holding the umbrella.
When folding an umbrella, the shaft is straightened and the umbrella is rolled up so that it can be folded, so there is no problem in carrying the umbrella around.

Indicates that it can be positioned below the vertical line connecting the notch 3 and the runner 4 of the umbrella. Conventionally, a person 10 who puts an umbrella between the vertical line connecting the notch 3 and the runner 4 and the tip 5
Was located.

The shaft 1 is reinforced by using a flexible tube between the pipes, a flexible tube for the entire shaft 1, or a pipe, a round bar, a wire or the like inside or outside the flexible tube. You can do it. In addition, the pipe may be connected with a rotating part or may be used as a stopper for a bent part by utilizing a metal plate, plastic, spring or the like. Bending the shaft 1 with one touch using the spring mechanism,
You can also straighten it.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view in which a part of the umbrella according to claim 2 is cut away. Since the shaft 1 of the umbrella has the inclination, the person 10 holding the umbrella with the handle 2 can be positioned near the vertical line connecting the notch 3 of the umbrella and the runner 4. The shaft retainer 6 is U-shaped and has a length up to the vicinity of the notch 3 and the runner 4 when the umbrella is opened, and the top covers the top. A pressing plate 7 is attached to the upper part of the shaft presser 6 with a rotating shaft. Shaft 1
Is attached to the bottom of the shaft retainer 6 with a rotary shaft,
When the shaft 1 is vertical, it is housed in the shaft retainer 6, and when the shaft 1 has an inclination, it is fixed to the tip of the retainer plate 7. In the drawing, a fulcrum that gives the shaft 1 an inclination is provided inside the runner 4, but the position of the fulcrum may be vertically displaced. In addition, in the umbrella according to claim 1 or 2, the shape of the runner 4 according to the shape of the shaft 1 needs to be improved to a shape suitable for moving up and down along the shaft 1, and the inner diameter is It may be made larger, or a spring mechanism may be provided inside to hold the shaft 1 to stop it.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view in which a part of the umbrella according to claim 3 is cut away. When the umbrella is opened, the shaft 1 can be moved along the stretcher 8 of the umbrella. The notch 3, the runner 4, the stretcher 8,
