[Background technology] Conventionally, it has been difficult for people who are carrying luggage in both hands or who are handicapped to hold an umbrella. This poses a problem in that it is difficult to hold and hold an umbrella with such a special shape when one's hands are open.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of these problems, and its purpose is to provide a device that can be touched by hand as in the past, but also to be used when the user cannot use his or her hands. Our goal is to provide an umbrella that can be held up.

[Disclosure of the invention] The present invention provides a fitting that can be elastically fitted and held on a person's shoulder by forming the handle 1 connected to the pillar 3 of the umbrella into a substantially inverted U-shape. A fitting holding portion 2 is formed on the handle 1, and the fitting holding portion 2 is formed on the main body portion 6 of the handle 1.
and a tip portion 7, and a coil spring 8 is stretched between the main body portion 6 and the tip portion 7 to apply a spring force to draw the tip portion 7 toward the main body portion 6. This is attached to an umbrella which is provided with a vertically inverted mounting means 4 which allows the handle 1 to be mounted upside down and attached between it and a support post 3 that connects the umbrella.
We were able to achieve the above objectives. In other words, by attaching the handle 1 to the support post 3 in a substantially U-shape via the vertically reversible attachment means 4, it is possible to hold the umbrella by holding the handle 1 in the hand as in the past, but the handle 1 can be held up and down. By attaching the handle 1 to the support post 3 in a substantially inverted U-shape via the reversing attachment means 4, the handle 1 can be elastically fitted and held on a person's shoulder via the fitting holding part 2, and the umbrella The umbrella can be supported on a person's shoulders, so that even people who have both hands occupied or who are handicapped can use the umbrella effectively.

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

The handle 1 connected to the pillar 3 of the umbrella A is formed into a substantially inverted U-shape, and the fitting holding portion 2 can be elastically fitted and held on a person's shoulder S while straddling the person's shoulder S. has been formed. Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, pattern 1
is divided into a main body part 6 and a tip part 7, with the main body part 6 being an inner cylinder and the tip part 7 being an outer cylinder.The main part 6 and the tip part 7 can only be expanded and contracted by serrations, spline fitting, etc., and cannot be rotated relative to each other. It is fitted to the A coil spring 8 is stretched between the main body portion 6 and the tip portion 7 to draw the tip portion 7 toward the main body portion 6 side. The tip of the tip portion 7 comes into contact with the bent portion of the main body portion 6, and the tip of the main body portion 6 comes into contact with the bent portion of the tip portion 7, so that the contracted shape of the handle 1 can be determined. However, the handle 1 has a coil spring 8 between its tip portion 7 and main body portion 6.
Due to the elastic force, it can be elastically fitted and held on the shoulder S of a person. Pattern 1 like this
The fitting holding part 2 has a structure that fits and holds the person's shoulder S.
Although they are collectively referred to as , the configuration can be modified in various ways. When the handle 1 is fitted and held on a person's shoulder S, the umbrella A is strongly supported in the front-back direction, but the support force in the left-right direction tends to be weak.
It is preferable to increase the supporting force by forming the inner surface of the handle 1 into an oblique surface 9.

A vertically inverted mounting means 4 is provided between the handle 1 and a support 3 that connects the handle 1, which can invert the handle 1 vertically and attach the handle 1 in a substantially U-shape.

The handle 1 is brought into elastic contact with the edge of the handle 13 to prevent the support post 3 from coming off, and the handle 1 is attached to the support post 3 in a substantially inverted U-shape. By forming the handle 1 into a substantially inverted U-shape in this manner and elastically fitting and holding the substantially inverted U-shaped handle 1 onto the person's shoulder S, the umbrella A can be held even when carrying luggage in both hands. It can be used. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the handle 1 is fitted into the second locking hole 12 of the connector 10 of the support post 3, thereby forming the handle 1 into a substantially U-shape and attaching it to the support post 3. By forming the handle 1 into a substantially U-shape in this manner, it can be used as a normal umbrella A.

That is, the handle 1 of the umbrella A is attached via the vertically inverted mounting means 4.
By attaching it in a roughly U-shape, you can hold the handle 1 of umbrella A in your hand and hold umbrella A, like in the past.
Furthermore, by attaching the handle 1 of the umbrella A to the support post 3 in a substantially inverted U-shape via the vertically inverted attachment means 4, the handle 1 of the umbrella A can be elastically attached to the person's shoulder S via the fitting holding part 2.

[Effects of the invention] In summary, the present invention provides a fitting that can be elastically fitted and held on a person's shoulder by forming the handle connected to the pillar of the umbrella into a substantially inverted U shape. A fitting holding part is formed on the handle, the fitting holding part is divided into a main body part and a tip part of the handle, and a coil spring is stretched between the main body part and the tip part, so that the tip part is placed on the main body part side. The handle is constructed by applying a pulling spring force, and is provided with a vertically inverting mounting means that allows the handle to be attached upside down between the handle and the support that connects it. By attaching the umbrella to the post in a substantially U-shape, it is possible to hold the umbrella by holding the handle in the hand like in the past, but by using the vertically inverted mounting means, the umbrella handle can be held in a substantially U-shape. By attaching the umbrella to a post, the handle can be elastically fitted and held on a person's shoulder via the fitting holding part, and the umbrella can be supported on a person's shoulder when both hands are occupied. This has the advantage that even people with hand disabilities can use the umbrella effectively. In particular, the fitting holding part is divided into the main body part and the tip part of the handle, and a coil spring is stretched between the main part and the tip part to apply a spring force to draw the tip part toward the main body part. Because the handle of the umbrella is not supported by the neck or the like, it is supported by elastically holding the shoulders, so it is safe, and even if the thickness of the shoulders differs from user to user, the tip part can be attached to the main body. By sliding it against the handle and pulling it with a coil spring, you can securely hold the handle on your shoulder. Moreover, the umbrella support and handle are configured to be removable, so if the handle is accidentally damaged, you only need to replenish the handle, or if the umbrella is damaged, you can replenish it. If either the handle or the umbrella is damaged, there is no need to discard the entire umbrella.
