[0003]

On a night road where it is raining, even if there is a street lamp, the feet are often dark and it is difficult to see, so there is a risk that it will be difficult to walk or fall on a stone or the like.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and provides an umbrella with an illuminator capable of illuminating a step on a dark-footed road with an illuminator by providing the umbrella with an illuminator. With the goal.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a space is formed inside a handle of an umbrella, a battery is stored in the space, and the space inside the handle is opened and closed by the handle. A plug is detachably attached, an illuminator is attached to the handle, a switch is attached to the handle, the switch is connected to the battery and the illuminator, and the illuminator is turned on and off by the switch.

[0006]

Next, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of an umbrella with a lighting device according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded sectional view of a main part of FIG.
A space 12 is formed inside the handle 10 of the umbrella, and this space 12 is opened and closed by a stopper 14. For example, a female screw 16 is formed on the inner surface of the opening of the space of the handle 10 and a male screw 18 is formed on the outer surface of the plug 14, and the handle 10 and the plug 14 are relatively rotated. Thereby, the space 12 of the handle 10 is opened and closed by the stopper 14. An umbrella support 20 is fixed to the stopper 14. The umbrella support 20 may be directly fixed to the handle 10 instead of the stopper 14.

A swingable first terminal 22 is provided near the opening in the space 12. By swinging the first terminal 22, the opening of the space 12 is opened and closed. A support member 24 is fixed at a position deeper than the opening in the space 12, and the support member 24
The second terminal 26 is attached to the opening side of. Pattern 1
0, the stopper 14 is removed, and the first terminal 22 is swung to remove the space 1.
One or a plurality of batteries 28 are inserted into the space 12 with the opening 2 (FIG. 2) opened. Thereafter, the opening of the space 12 is closed by swinging the first terminal 22 and the handle 1
Stopper plug 14 at 0. When the handle 10 is plugged, the battery 28 is connected to the first terminal 22 and the second terminal 26.

[0008] The space 12 reaches, for example, almost the front end of the J-shaped handle 10, and a connector 32 for detachably attaching the lighting fixture 30 is provided at an appropriate position inside the space 12 below. For example, by forming a male screw on the lighting device 30 and a female screw on the connector 32, the lighting device 30 can be detachably attached to the connector 32. An opening / closing lid 34 is provided at an appropriate position on the handle 10 to detachably attach the lighting fixture 30 to the connector 32. Thereby, the replacement of the lighting fixture 30 becomes possible. The position of the connector 32 to be attached to the handle 10 is set such that the light source 36 of the lighting device 30 just illuminates the feet in the traveling direction when the umbrella is pointed. Light source 36 of lighting device 30
A transparent protective member 38 for protecting the light source 36 is attached to the position of the handle 10 facing the.

A switch 40 is mounted at an appropriate position on the outer surface of the handle 10, and the switch 40, the first terminal 22, and the battery 28
And a circuit connecting the second terminal 26 and the lighting device 30 (the description of this circuit is omitted). The lighting device 30 blinks when the switch 40 is turned on and off. When the foot is dark, the lighting device 30 is turned on by turning on the switch 40, and the foot can be brightly illuminated by the lighting device 30.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a handle having a shape different from that of FIG. The umbrella handle 10 in FIG. 1 is J-shaped, while the umbrella handle 42 in FIG. 3 is an I-shaped foldable umbrella. In FIG. 3, only the shape of the handle 42 of the umbrella is different, and like the one shown in FIGS.
The stopper 14 is removed from the space 2 and the first terminal 22 is swung to remove the space 4.
One or a plurality of batteries 28 are inserted into the space 44 with the opening 4 (FIG. 3) opened. Further, a connector 46 is fixed below the handle 42 of the umbrella,
The lighting fixture 30 is detachably attached to the lighting device. In order to attach the lighting device 30 to the connector 46, an opening / closing lid 48 also serving as a protection member for the lighting device 30 is provided at an appropriate position on the handle 10. By opening the opening / closing lid 48, the lighting fixture 30 can be replaced.

[0011]

According to the present invention constructed as described above, the lighting device is provided on the handle of the umbrella.
If you bring an umbrella, you can illuminate your feet with lighting equipment, and you can walk safely without the risk of falling.
Further, according to the present invention, not only the replacement of the battery but also the replacement of the lighting equipment are possible, which is very economical.
