Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an umbrella in which a canopy portion of an umbrella rib is covered with a double layer of umbrella cloth.

The inventor previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 57-44899,
In No. 44901 and Patent Application No. 44902 of 1987, we proposed an umbrella whose canopy forms an oval shape or a shape similar to an oval shape when the umbrella is opened.

In this type of umbrella, the umbrella cloth stretched over the canopy part is not circular, so when the umbrella is closed, the wide part of the umbrella cloth may not be folded as specified and may become wrinkled and folded into a part of the canopy part. . If the umbrella becomes like this during use, it will make the user feel uncomfortable, significantly reducing the commercial value of the umbrella, and ultimately causing a serious hindrance to sales.

The present invention has been made to solve this problem, and it is possible to double the umbrella cloth by stretching another umbrella cloth on top of the deformed umbrella cloth, so that the lower umbrella cloth does not wrinkle easily. Equipped with a double umbrella cloth that prevents the state from being seen from the outside even when folded, and can significantly improve the commercial value by using the upper umbrella cloth for decorative purposes. The idea is to provide people with fresh umbrellas.

The drawings showing one embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In Fig. 1, 1 is a center rod, 2 is an upper potter's wheel fixed to the tip of the center rod 1, and 3 is a base end 4 rotatably pivoted to the upper potter's wheel 2, and is slidably attached to the center rod 1. The tip 8 of the strut 6, whose proximal end 7 is rotatably attached to the fitted lower potter's wheel 5, is rotatably attached to a fixing bracket 9 fixed near the center, and 10 is an upper rib. It is a long rib consisting of a base rib 11 whose base end 12 is rotatably attached to the potter's wheel 2, and a tip rib 14 which is fitted into the base rib 11 from its tip 13 and is slidably held. The distal end 18 of the support bone 16, whose proximal end 17 is rotatably pivoted to the middle potter's wheel 15 which is locked to the middle rod 1 above the potter's wheel 2, is rotatable via a fixing metal fitting fixed near the center. Attached to the lower potter's wheel 5
The distal end 21 of the long bridge 19, whose proximal end 20 is pivotally attached to the base rib 11, is rotatable via a sliding metal fitting 23 attached to the proximal end 22 of the proximal rib 14 fitted with the base rib 11. is attached to.

Two of each of the long and short ribs 10 and 3 are arranged symmetrically around the middle rod 1 to form an umbrella rib, and a lower umbrella cloth 24 and a lower umbrella cloth 2 are attached to the canopy of the umbrella rib.
An umbrella 26 is formed by stretching an upper umbrella cloth 25 over the umbrella 4.

One end of the lower umbrella cloth 24 is fixed to the upper potter's wheel 2,
The other end is appropriately tied to the tips of the long and short ribs 10, 3, and the upper umbrella cloth 25 has one end fixed to the upper potter's wheel 2 together with the lower umbrella cloth 24, and the other end or the nearby The points are appropriately tightened and stretched at the tips of sub-ribs 27 disposed above the short ribs 3 and the long ribs 10, which will be described later. As shown in FIG. 4, the sub-rib 27 is disposed above the long main rib 10 and connected to the tip 13 of the basic main rib 11 near the middle by passing a thread-like material 28 such as a string through the lower umbrella cloth 24. , the tip 29 is located at approximately the same location as the tip of the short rib 3, and is made of a linear material such as metal or plastic and has an appropriate length.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the umbrella 26 is opened, the canopy has an oval shape that extends from the conventional circular shape to both sides. At this time, the lower umbrella cloth 24 has an oval shape, and the upper umbrella cloth 25 has a circular shape, similar to the conventional umbrella cloth.

The function of this umbrella 26 will be explained below. When the lower potter's wheel 5 slides the middle rod 1 downward from the open state, the short ribs 3 come along the middle rod 1 by the braces 6 in the same way as in a conventional umbrella. In addition, as the lower potter's wheel 5 descends, the long rib 19 pulls the long rib 10 toward the middle rod, and the base rib 11 is moved along with the sliding metal fitting 23 to the upper potter's wheel 2.
By sliding to the side and drawing the leading rib 14 toward the upper potter's wheel 2, the long rib 10 comes to align with the middle rod 1. (Fig. 3) Even though the canopy becomes oval shape when opened, long and short ribs 1 when closed.
The tips of 0 and 3 will now be aligned.

In this case, the lower umbrella cloth 24 is attached to the base rib 11 at a point b closer to the upper potter's wheel 2 than between the upper potter's wheel 2 and the sliding metal fitting 23, and to the leading rib 14 at a point c near the sliding metal fitting 23 with a string or the like. If it is locked, the part corresponding to the umbrella cloth 24 left over when the umbrella is closed will be folded in two between b and c, but it will be folded in two pieces between b and c. It ends up being folded in a wrinkled state with parts sticking to something. On the other hand, in the upper umbrella cloth 25, the accessory rib 27 whose tip is tied tightly is connected to the tip 13 of the base rib 11 by a thread-like material 28, and the upper umbrella cloth 25 maintains its state even when the umbrella is closed.
It performs the same function as the short rib 3, does not get folded, and even if a part of the lower umbrella cloth 24 should become wrinkled, it can be covered and hidden.

When the middle rod 1 is slid upward on the lower potter's wheel 5 when the umbrella is closed, the short ribs 3 are opened outward by the struts 6 like in conventional umbrellas, and the long ribs 10 are opened by the struts 15 and long ribs. 19 is rotatably fixed at point d, as the lower potter's wheel 5 rises, the long bridge 19 pushes the base rib 11 outward, and its tip 21 moves downward together with the sliding metal fitting 23. In order to slide the base rib 11, the leading rib 14 is pushed outward and the long rib 1
0 is extended and opened outward, and the middle bar 1 is slid upward to the position where the lower potter's wheel 5 is locked with the locking tool provided on the middle bar 1, as shown in Fig. 2. The canopy opens into an oval shape.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which an umbrella is provided with a plurality of extendable long ribs and a plurality of short ribs to form a deformable canopy when the umbrella is opened. It goes without saying that the invention can also be applied to umbrellas that form a circular canopy when opened.

The present invention provides an umbrella that includes a plurality of long ribs and a plurality of short ribs each of which is slidably held by fitting a leading rib into a base rib to form a deformed canopy when the umbrella is opened, at the tip of a middle rod. On the upper part of the lower umbrella cloth stretched between the upper potter's wheel fixed to the upper potter's wheel and the tips of the long and short ribs, a suitable suitcase placed above the long ribs and latched to the tips of the base ribs is attached. Since the umbrella is equipped with a double umbrella fabric, the lower umbrella fabric wrinkles when the umbrella is closed. Even if it is folded into a young brown, the upper umbrella cloth covers it to prevent the product value from decreasing as an umbrella, and the upper umbrella cloth can be used for decorative purposes by changing the color, pattern, material, etc. of the lower umbrella cloth. When used in combination, the product value of the umbrella is further increased, and a remarkable effect is produced that contributes to sales expansion.
