DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an umbrella storage mechanism for storing an umbrella in a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Since there is no storage space for an umbrella in a conventional automobile, when an umbrella wet with rain is brought into the automobile, water drops or umbrellas adhering to the umbrella are removed. There is a problem that occupants, automobile seats, interiors, and the like are wet by the dripping water. An umbrella bag for storing a wet umbrella has been proposed, but the umbrella bag not only obstructs the inside of the car, but also takes time and effort to put the umbrella into the umbrella bag. There was a problem that accumulated water leaked into the vehicle or spilled. Also,
If the umbrella is always carried in the vehicle in preparation for sudden rain or the like, there is a problem that the umbrella becomes an obstacle.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to store an umbrella in a position where it does not obstruct the occupant to prevent the inside of the vehicle from getting wet,
It is another object of the present invention to provide an umbrella storage mechanism that can discharge water attached to the umbrella to the outside of the vehicle.

[0004]

According to the present invention, an umbrella storage case (1) is provided between a seat (2) and a vehicle body sill (3). ) Is provided with holding means (44, 45, 61) for holding the umbrella (9) in an inclined manner so that the tip becomes lower, and further, the umbrella storage case (1) is provided with a drain port (42) And a drain (42) connected to a hose (43) penetrating the vehicle body bottom (8).

In the umbrella storage mechanism, the umbrella storage case (1) is installed between the seat (2) and the vehicle body sill (3), so that the umbrella storage case (9) gets wet when it gets into the vehicle.
Can be immediately stored in the umbrella storage case (1), and the interior of the vehicle, seats, occupants, and the like are prevented from getting wet by the umbrella (9), and the umbrella storage case (1)
And the stored umbrella (9) does not obstruct the occupant.

Also, the umbrella (9) is held by the holding means (44, 45, 61) of the umbrella storage case (1) so as to be inclined so that the tip becomes lower. Much of the water that has been drawn quickly reaches the tip along the umbrella (9) and drips. The dripped water passes through a drain port (42) provided on the umbrella tip side of the umbrella storage case (1) and a hose (43) connected to the drain port (42), and the vehicle body bottom (8). Drained underneath.

[0007] The inner bottom surface (41) of the umbrella storage case (1).
Is preferably inclined so that the drain port (42) side becomes lower. By inclining the inner bottom surface (41) in this manner, water droplets adhering to the umbrella (9) fall on the inner bottom surface (41) before reaching the tip of the umbrella (9). It flows down to the lower position side of the inclined inner bottom surface (41), that is, to the drain port (42) side, and is drained out of the vehicle through the drain port (42) and the hose (43). Water does not remain in the umbrella storage case (1).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 6 show an umbrella housing mechanism in a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the present umbrella storage mechanism, the umbrella storage case 1 is provided between the seat 2 and the vehicle body sill 3, and is attached to the case body 4 and the upper end opening 46 of the case body 4 via the hinge 5 so as to be openable and closable. Lid 6
It is composed of

The case body 4 is provided at the bottom of the case body 4.
At 40, a bolt 7 is fixed to the vehicle body bottom 8 and a drain port 42 is provided on the umbrella tip side (vehicle front side) of the bottom section 40. An inner bottom surface 41 of the case body 4 is provided with the drain port. It is inclined so that the 42 side becomes lower. A hose 43 is connected to the drain port 42. The hose 43 penetrates the vehicle body bottom portion 8 and reaches the outside of the vehicle, and the front end portion of the hose 43 on the outside of the vehicle is tapered.

At the end of the case body 4 on the side of the umbrella handle (rear side of the vehicle), a fitting recess 44 cut out in a substantially semicircular shape to receive the handle 91 of the stored umbrella 9. An umbrella tip support 45 supporting the tip 92 of the stored umbrella 9 is provided at a position lower than the fitting concave portion 44 on the umbrella tip side (vehicle front side) in the case body 4. Is provided.
On the other hand, the handle 91 of the umbrella 9 housed in the case body 4 is fitted to the umbrella handle side (vehicle rear side) end of the lid 6.
A fitting portion 61 that is cut out in a substantially semicircular shape is provided.

In order to store the umbrella 9 in the umbrella storage case 1, the lid 6 is opened via the hinge 5 (two-dot chain line in FIG. 5), and the tip 92 of the umbrella 9 is placed on the umbrella tip support 45. And the lower side of the handle 91 of the umbrella 9 is received by the fitting concave portion 44 of the case body 4. Then, the lid 6 is closed via the hinge 5, and the fitting portion 61 of the case body 4 is fitted over the handle 91 of the umbrella 9.

Here, the umbrella tip support 45 is provided in the fitting recess.
Since the umbrella 9 is provided at a position lower than 44, the umbrella 9 is supported and stored in the umbrella storage case 1 such that the tip end 92 side is lower and the handle 91 side is higher. Therefore, much of the water adhering to the umbrella 9 quickly reaches the tip 92 along the umbrella 9,
It drip from the tip 92. The water dripping from the tip 92 of the umbrella 9 is directly introduced into a drain port 42 provided on the umbrella tip side of the bottom 40 of the case body 4, and is passed through a hose 43 connected to the drain port 42. Drained outside the vehicle.

The water droplets adhering to the umbrella 9 and falling on the inner bottom surface 41 of the case body 4 before reaching the tip 92 of the umbrella 9 are inclined. Inside bottom
The water flows down to the lower position side of 41, that is, the drain port 42 side, and is drained out of the vehicle through the drain port 42 and the hose 43 connected to the drain port 42, so that water remains in the case body 4. do not do. Since the outer end of the hose 43 is tapered, water outside the vehicle does not easily enter the hose 43.

Since the umbrella storage case 1 is installed between the vehicle seat 2 and the vehicle body sill 3, the wet umbrella 9 is immediately stored in the umbrella storage case 1 when the user enters the vehicle. The interior of the vehicle, the seat, the occupant, and the like are prevented from getting wet by the umbrella 9, and the umbrella storage case 1 and the stored umbrella 9 do not obstruct the occupant. Further, according to the umbrella storage case 1, since the water adhered to the umbrella 9 can be discharged to the outside of the vehicle, there is no problem that the vehicle body floor gets wet or the accumulated water spills into the vehicle. Furthermore, by storing the umbrella 9 in the umbrella storage case 1 usually, it is possible to cope with sudden rain, snow, and the like.

The present invention has been described with reference to the drawings.
The present invention is not limited to these, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the inner bottom surface 41 of the case body 4 may not be inclined but may be horizontal. Further, the fitting concave portion 44 or the fitting portion 61
May be polygonal, or if the case body 4 is provided with a fitting portion in which the entire handle 91 of the umbrella 9 is fitted,
The fitting portion 61 may not be provided.

[0016]

According to the umbrella storage mechanism of the vehicle of the present invention, the umbrella can be stored in a position where it does not obstruct the occupant to prevent the inside of the vehicle from getting wet, and water attached to the umbrella can be removed. Can be discharged outside the vehicle.
