Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella putting device in a vehicle for storing a rain umbrella in a passenger compartment.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as such an umbrella inserting device, a bag-shaped umbrella case is detachably locked to a seatbelt anchor in a passenger compartment (see Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-18951).
A cylindrical umbrella stand is fixed to the back of the seat in the passenger compartment, and a drain hole is formed in the bottom of the umbrella stand (Actual Kaihei 6-396).
No. 04) is known.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In the above, the rainwater flowing down from the umbrella stored in the umbrella case is collected in the umbrella case, and it is necessary to drain the rainwater each time.
The umbrella case has to be removed from the seat belt anchor, which is very troublesome. In addition, the above-mentioned one has a drawback that rainwater flowing down from the umbrella stored in the umbrella stand immediately flows out from the drain hole of the umbrella stand and wets the floor of the passenger compartment.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the rain umbrella can be accommodated in the umbrella case in the vehicle compartment without normally wetting the floor of the vehicle compartment, and the rainwater accumulated therein can be removed from the vehicle compartment without removing the umbrella case as needed. It is an object of the present invention to provide an umbrella inserting device for an automobile, which can be discharged to.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with an umbrella case capable of accommodating a rain umbrella attached to the inner wall of a door pivotally supported by a body of an automobile so as to be opened and closed. The first feature is that a drain hole and a shutter that can open and close the drain hole are provided on the bottom wall of the.

In addition to the above features, the present invention has a second feature that the shutter is configured to open and close in conjunction with opening and closing of a door.

[0007]

According to the first feature of the present invention, by closing the drainage hole of the umbrella case with the shutter, rainwater flowing down from the umbrella housed in the umbrella case can be stored in the umbrella case. Then, by opening the shutter with the door open, the rainwater collected in the umbrella case can flow out of the vehicle compartment through the drain hole.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the opening / closing operation of the shutter is automatically performed as the door is opened / closed, and the drain hole can be opened / closed appropriately.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in FIG. 1, a front end of a door 2 that opens and closes an entrance 1a is pivotally supported on a body 1 of an automobile, and an armrest 3 is provided on an inner wall of the door 2 and a position below the armrest 3. The umbrella holder 4 is formed. The umbrella case 4 is for accommodating the rain umbrella U (see FIG. 3) and has a box shape elongated in the front-rear direction, and the front half of the upper wall thereof is opened as an entrance 5. As shown in FIG. 3, the umbrella holder 4
The bottom wall 4a is provided with a drain hole 6, and a slope descending toward the drain hole 6 is attached to the bottom wall 4a.

A base end portion of a shutter 7 for opening and closing the drainage hole 6 is supported on a pivot 10 formed on the lower surface of the bottom wall 4a of the umbrella holder 4, and an opening edge of the drainage hole 6 is provided at the tip end portion thereof. A sealing member 8 that can be in close contact with is attached. Thus, the shutter 7 is stored immediately below the umbrella case 4 and the closing position C where the drain hole 6 is closed by the seal member 8 and the umbrella case 4 to the body 1 are closed.
It is possible to pivot between the open position O that opens the drainage hole 6 by pivoting so as to project to the side, and the spring 9 that biases this shutter toward the open position O is attached to the pivot 10. It is installed.

On the other hand, a stopper 12 facing the shutter 7 is bored on the outer surface of the occupant seat 11 installed in the body 1, and the stopper 12 is provided when the door 2 is closed. It is adapted to receive the side surface and pivot it to the closed position C.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the door 2 is closed, the shutter 7 is received by the stopper 12 of the sheet 11 and kept at the closed position C, and the drain hole 6 is closed. Therefore, if the umbrella U wet with rain is stored in the umbrella case 4 in such a state, the rainwater that has flowed down from the umbrella 4
Accumulates at the bottom of the vehicle and can be prevented from leaking into the passenger compartment.

Next, when the door 2 is opened, the shutter 7 is separated from the stopper 12 as shown in FIG. 1, and is automatically rotated to the open position O by the elastic force of the spring 9 to open the drain hole 6. As a result, it is possible to prevent the rainwater collected in the umbrella case 4 from flowing out of the vehicle through the drain hole 6 and continuing to be collected in the umbrella case 4.

In the above embodiment, various design changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the shutter 7 can be configured manually.

[0017]

As described above, according to the first feature of the present invention, an umbrella case capable of accommodating a rain umbrella is attached to the inner wall of the door that is pivotally supported by the body of the vehicle so as to be openable and closable. Since the bottom wall is provided with a drainage hole and a shutter that can open and close the drainage hole, by closing the shutter, rainwater that has flowed down from the umbrella in the umbrella case is stored in the umbrella case and the shutter is opened when the door is opened. By opening the, rainwater collected in the umbrella case can be drained from the drain hole. Therefore, the rainwater flowing down from the umbrella does not wet the floor of the passenger compartment, and it is not necessary to remove the umbrella case each time the water is drained, and the handling is simple.

Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention, since the shutter is configured to be opened / closed in association with opening / closing of the door, the opening / closing operation of the shutter is automatically performed as the door is opened / closed. Since the water can be automatically drained from the drain hole to the outside of the vehicle, the handling becomes even easier.
