JPS6036083Y2 - Push-in button on an automatic umbrella - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a push-in button for opening an automatic opening type Western umbrella.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, automatic opening type Western umbrellas have a lower opening which is biased in the upward direction by a spring, and is removably engaged with a flap provided on the center rod, and the engagement is achieved by pushing the push-in end of the flap. It is configured to release the lock and raise the lower opening black, and a push button is provided at the push end.

The mounting position of the push-in button varies depending on the type of Western umbrella.
2-129567, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-49656) or a push button embedded in a cylindrical decorative cover (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-67163) are known. As a result of the push-in button being arranged at a position away from the tip of the main rib, the push-in button does not interfere with the main rib in any way.

However, the push-in end of the flip-flop is placed on the exposed part of the center rod between the lower opening and the handle when the umbrella is closed, and the push-in end is equipped with a push-in button (hereinafter referred to as a "protruding button-type western umbrella"). ''), the tips of the main ribs when the umbrella is closed are focused on the outer periphery of the exposed portion of the center rod, and as a result, the push-in button interferes with the main ribs.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In the above-mentioned "Western umbrella with a protruding button", there is a problem that the tips of the main ribs interfere with the push-in button in the closed state and the umbrella is not properly focused.

In particular, the ribs in the portions that interfere with the push-in button are pushed to both sides of the push-in button, and as a result, the tips of the group of ribs to be focused do not fit together narrowly as a whole, causing a problem that they fit poorly.

In addition, conventional push-in buttons lack decorative value, and the current situation is that no creations have been made for this purpose.

[Means for solving problems]

In a "protruding button type western umbrella," in order to keep the tips of the main ribs narrow as a whole when the umbrella is closed, the amount of interference between the tips of the main ribs and the push-in button must be minimized.

However, from the viewpoint of operability, the finger pressure surface of the push-in button must have a sufficient area.

For this reason, the means constituted by the present invention is that both side walls along the tip of the main bone on the push-in side are formed into guide tapered surfaces that gradually expand from the bottom surface toward the acupressure surface.

This tapered surface makes it possible to fit the tip of the main rib group well, and to make the tip of the main rib group fit narrowly as a whole.

In addition, various means can be considered to increase the decorative value of the push-in side, but the means constituted by the present invention is such that a recess is formed on the acupressure surface of the push-in side, and a decorative material is charged into the recess. At the point.

With this, it is possible to provide push-in sides with different colors simply by changing the color of the decorative material to be charged into the recess.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the invented Western umbrella is as follows:
An exposed part 4 of a middle rod 3 is located between a lower opening black 1 and a handle 2 when the umbrella is closed, and a repellent pushing end 5 projects from the circumferential surface of the exposed part 4 of the middle rod.

The lower cover 1 is biased in the upward direction along the middle rod 3 by a spring (not shown), and when the umbrella is closed, the lower cover 1 is locked with the locking claw 7 of the flip 6, and from this state it is flipped. When the pushing end 5 of 6 is pushed to release the locking by the locking claw 7, the umbrella is automatically opened.

The tip portions 9 of the group of ribs 8 are focused around the outer periphery of the exposed center rod portion 4 when the umbrella is closed, and a tip 10 is attached to the tip of the rib 8.

A push-in side 11 is attached to the repelling push-in end 5.

The push-in side 11 is made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and the button 11 has a shape in a plan view such as an elongated hole, a rectangle, a rectangle, or an oval.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, this push-in side 11 has a bottom surface 12 facing the repelling push-in end 5, and an acupressure surface 13 on the opposite side to the bottom surface, and has a groove formed in the bottom surface 12. On the 14th,
The flip-pushing end 5 is inserted and fixed.

At this time, for example, the dimensions of the groove 14 are determined by the push-in end 5 to be inserted.
If it is made slightly smaller, the push-in end 5 can be press-fitted into the groove 14 to ensure secure fixation.

Further, a recess 15 is formed in the acupressure surface 13 of the pushing side 11, and a cosmetic material 16 is inserted into the recess 15.

In the illustrated example, the decorative material 16 is made of a synthetic resin plate, and the recess 1
5, and a medium-high bulge is provided on the upper surface of the plate, and mesh-like striations 17 are provided to form an anti-slip means.

Incidentally, it goes without saying that the decorative material 16 is not limited to the one shown in the illustration, and in short, as a completed article on the push-in side 11,
Any material may be used as long as it is inserted into the recess 15 and integrated, and the manufacturing method and the insertion method into the recess 15 are not limited.

As a result, the color or pattern of the decorative material 16 can be made to harmonize with the color of the fabric of the western umbrella or the dew point 10, etc.
It can enhance the decorative effect.

Furthermore, the push-in side 11 is the tip of the master rib 9, in the illustrated example, the dew tip 1.
0 are formed into guide tapered surfaces 18 that gradually expand from the bottom surface 12 toward the acupressure surface 13, and preferably, the front and rear walls 9 of the pushing side 11 are also formed into similar tapered surfaces. .

[Effect of idea]

As a result of the configuration of the present invention as described above, although it is a "protruding side type western umbrella", both side walls along the main rib tip 9 of the push-in side 11 are gradually expanded from the bottom surface 12 toward the acupressure surface 13. Since it is formed on the guide tapered surface 18, the tip end 9 of the master rib
The amount of interference between the push-in side 11 and
can be stored well, and the tips 9 of the 8 groups of main ribs can be stored thinly as a whole when the umbrella is closed.

Regarding this point, for example, if the push-in side 11 does not have anything equivalent to the guide tapered surface, as shown in FIG. In particular, the tips of the main ribs 9 that interfere with the pushing side 11 are pushed to both sides of the pushing side 11, and the tips of the main ribs to be focused are narrowly housed as a whole. However, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the tips 9 of the 8 groups of main ribs have the effect of being narrower as a whole.

In addition, in order to improve the operability of the push-in side 11, the acupressure surface 13 of the push-in side 11 must have a sufficient area, but in the present invention, the tip of the master rib 8 is Acupressure surface 1 while minimizing interference with 9.
Since the area of 3 can be made large, it is also excellent in operability.

Furthermore, since the recess 15 is formed in the acupressure surface 13 of the push-in side 11 and the decorative material 16 is charged into the recess 15, it is only necessary to change the color etc. of the decorative material 16 to be inserted into the recess 15. , it is possible to provide the push-in side 11 with a different color tone that harmonizes with the color of the fabric or exposure of the umbrella.
