Description

Umbrella Dewatering Device {DEHYDRATION APPARATUS FOR UMBRELLA}

The present invention relates to an umbrella dehydration apparatus for removing water remaining in an umbrella by using a centrifugal force, and more particularly, by holding the umbrella and firmly holding the bottom of the umbrella as the rotation speed increases when the rotation speed is gradually increased. The present invention relates to an umbrella dehydration apparatus that can rotate in a stable upright state without tilting at high speed and effectively removes water.

Umbrellas are used to prevent rain from falling outside, and when umbrellas are opened, umbrellas are spread out to prevent rain, and when they enter the room, umbrellas are folded so that water remains on the umbrellas to pollute the indoor space. In order to remove the remaining water in this way, the umbrella is shaken in a state where the umbrella is folded, and the water is slightly shaken off. Moreover, the water left on the umbrellas corrodes the umbrellas supporting the umbrellas, so the umbrellas are spread out indoors.

However, even when the umbrella is shaken, the umbrellas overlap each other in the folded state, making it difficult to completely remove water from the umbrella, and even if you shake the umbrella with the umbrella unfolded, it causes water to splash around and does not solve the problem of fouling the interior. .

In order to solve this problem, Korean Utility Model Publication No. 20-2012-0002090 removes water by rotating a dehydration container into which an umbrella is inserted, and Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2010-0128731, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2001 -0082953, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0336647, etc., rotated the umbrella itself with the umbrella up and removed water by centrifugal force. In this case, it is difficult to completely remove the water of the overlapping umbrella because it is difficult to completely remove the water from the overlapping umbrella, so when the umbrella itself is rotated, the umbrella is placed in the inner space and the umbrella itself is rotated. By spreading the water can be effectively removed. In other words, by folding the umbrella flesh, the umbrella can be folded as well, but by rotating the umbrella itself, the folded umbrellas do not overlap each other during rotation, so that the remaining water on the umbrella can be completely removed.

However, in order to rotate the umbrella, it is necessary to design a component that supports and grips the umbrella, which is difficult to design. Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2010-0128731 and Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2001-0082953 have a means for fixing the end of an umbrella shaft of an umbrella, and Korean Utility Model Model No. 20-0336647 is an umbrella handle. Equipped with a means for fixing, the means for fixing the umbrella handle is inconvenient to use, so only look at the means for fixing the end of the umbrella shaft, it is difficult to design the groove to insert the end of the umbrella shaft to strongly fix the umbrella. Moreover, since the length, shape, and outer diameter of the umbrella shaft ends are different for each manufacturer or model, it is very difficult to form a groove for each umbrella, and the grooves are made of rubber to be inserted regardless of the size of the umbrella. Even if it exists, the fixing force is different from each other and sometimes occurs.

Therefore, regardless of the size, outer diameter and shape of the end of the umbrella shaft, the lower part of the umbrella is strongly gripped to rotate the umbrella at high speed and accordingly there is a need for a dewatering device that can increase the dehydration effect.

Here, it should be considered that when the user performs an operation necessary to dewater the umbrella, it should be convenient and simple to use without inconvenience.

In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the handle portion of the umbrella so that the umbrella does not tilt. This is because if the gripping only the lower part of the umbrella is strongly applied to the umbrella shaft may be damaged. In addition, the dehydrated umbrella should be able to be taken out without inconvenience.

Prior to describing the umbrella dewatering apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, briefly describing the umbrella 1 shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella has a rod-shaped umbrella shaft 2, a circular or polygonal surface. And fixed to the umbrella cloth (5) in a state where it extends in all directions from a portion close to the umbrella axis tip (6) and the umbrella axis tip (6) to penetrate the center to the umbrella axis end (6). It is configured to include a handle (3) installed on the end of the side opposite to the umbrella shaft end (6) in the umbrella flesh (4), the umbrella shaft (2) to be able to be in close contact.

The umbrella 1 configured as described above uses the handle 3 by the hand, and spreads the umbrella flesh 4 (that is, spreads the umbrella cloth) and folds the umbrella flesh 4 when not in use. Here, when the umbrella folds (4) to spread the rain with the umbrella cloth (5), rain water is left in the umbrella cloth (5). And, the umbrella flesh (4) is folded in close contact with the umbrella shaft (4) to the umbrella shaft (2) to form a goal in the part fixed to the umbrella shaft (2), so that the corresponding portions between the umbrella flesh (4) Although it is flapping, but tends to overlap each other by water, it is preferable to employ a method of rotating the umbrella shaft (2) as the rotation axis while the umbrella is folded in order to remove the water remaining on the umbrella cloth (5). .

However, in order to rotate the umbrella 1 using the umbrella shaft 2 as a rotating shaft, the end of the umbrella shaft 6 should be gripped except for the portion where the umbrella cloth 5 is located, or the handle 3 portion should be strongly gripped. However, since the shape of the handle (3) is various and the length of each umbrella is different from each other, the design of the holding means for gripping the handle (3) is difficult, it is good to grip the end of the umbrella shaft (6). However, the shape of the end of the umbrella shaft (6) is also different and different in size for each umbrella, and the length of the umbrella shaft tip (6) exposed to the outside through the umbrella cloth (5) also varies, and some umbrellas are very short and gripping It becomes difficult to do it.

Thus, the umbrella dewatering device according to the present invention by removing the water by the centrifugal force by rotating the umbrella using the umbrella shaft (2) as a rotating shaft, inserting only enough to not slide the umbrella shaft end (6) to the left or right or not to move. As the rotation speed of the umbrella increases in one state, the portion near the end of the umbrella shaft 6 is strongly gripped by other means (grip units 40, 50 to be described later), so that the umbrella does not fall.

Hereinafter, an umbrella dewatering apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.

Umbrella dewatering device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the umbrella shaft end (6) of the umbrella (1) is put in the inner space to rotate the umbrella, the umbrella shaft end ( The area close to 6) is firmly gripped so that it does not fall down even if the umbrella is rotated at a high speed. Accordingly, the umbrella can be rotated at a high speed to completely remove the water remaining in the umbrella with strong centrifugal force.

Umbrella dewatering device according to the present invention for this purpose, the housing 10 to put the umbrella, the rotary frame 20 for supporting the handle portion of the umbrella so that the umbrella does not fall, the rotating body 30 for rotating the umbrella, the lower part of the umbrella It comprises a holding unit (40, 50) for holding a, and a driving device (60) for supplying rotational power to the rotating body (30).

The housing 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, has an inner space with an upper opening 11, the umbrella shaft end (6) to the lower side to hold the handle (3) of the umbrella from the top The umbrella 11 can be put into the inner space through the opening 11. The inner space of the housing 10 is a space for placing the umbrella in a folded state, it is preferable to have a sufficient height and space to accommodate a variety of umbrellas. In addition, in order to accurately insert the end of the umbrella shaft into the insertion groove 31 of the rotating body 20, which will be described later, it is preferable to make the internal space visible to the naked eye, and for this purpose, the housing 10 is made of a light transmissive material. Can be configured.

Here, the upper opening 11 of the housing 10 is formed in a circular shape, as shown in Figure 6 can be rotated by seating the cylindrical rotating body 20 to be described later, the rotating body 20 to be described later In order to smoothly rotate, a plurality of rollers 12 having a horizontal axis of rotation and a plurality of rollers 13 having a vertical axis of rotation are respectively installed along the circumference of the opening 11 and spaced apart from each other so as to have a cylindrical shape to be described later. The rollers 12 and 13 are brought into contact with the rotary frame 20. Accordingly, the rotating body 20 to be described later may be smoothly rotated by the rotatable rollers 12 and 13 in a state seated in the opening 11. Here, the rollers 12 having the rotating shafts horizontally face the center of the rotating body 20 to be described later, and make contact with the bottom surface of the outward flange of the rotating frame 20 to be described later. Then, the rollers 13 having the rotation axis perpendicular to each other are brought into contact with the outer circumferential surface of the rotary frame 20 to be described later.

The inner side of the housing 10 is formed to protrude upward and downwardly formed bar 15 toward the inner space, thereby causing the umbrella cloth 5 of the umbrella to rotate in the inner space to hit the bar 15 It is preferable to make water drain from (5) more easily. Here, the bar 15 may also be configured as a brush.

Although not shown in the figure, the lower side of one side of the housing 10 is provided with a drainage structure to collect the water coming off the umbrella to discharge to the outside. Such a drainage structure has been disclosed in various forms in the prior art related to this field prior to the filing of the present invention, and thus will not be described in the embodiment description of the present invention.

On the other hand, the housing 10 has a side opening 14 formed in the lateral direction at the lower end of one side, to expose the footrest 61 of the drive device 60 to be described later through the side opening 14 to the outside To lighten the footrest 61 with the foot to be rolled.

As shown in FIG. 6, the rotary frame 20 is a hollow hollow short cylindrical shape formed to be slightly inserted into the opening 11 of the housing 10 so as to be rotatable, and the housing ( The rollers 13 having the rotational shaft vertically mounted around the opening 11 of the opening 10 abut on the outer circumferential surface so as to smoothly rotate the upper surface thereof. The rollers 12 having the rotating shafts horizontally mounted around the openings 11 of 10) are rotated in contact with the bottom surface of the outward flange 23 so as not to drop to the bottom while ensuring smooth rotation.

In addition, the rotary frame 20 is provided with a plurality of support bars 21 extending inwards along the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential surface, so that the umbrella shaft or the handle of the umbrella under the handle of the umbrella put in the inner space of the housing 10 Enclose it. Accordingly, the umbrella is placed in the inner space of the housing 10 but the support bar 21 is enclosed around the support bar 21 so as not to tilt. Here, the ends of the support bar 21 is preferably as close to the umbrella as possible, each support bar 21 is extended in all directions about the umbrella axis to extend at an isometric angle so that the umbrella is not inclined in any direction It is good to densify between the ends so that the umbrella does not fall between the adjacent support bars 21.

As such, the rotary frame 20 having the support bar 21 may insert an umbrella through a space surrounded by the ends of the support bars 21, and in this case, the umbrella cloth may be formed between the support bars 21. Since it passes through the space, it does not interfere with the umbrella into the inner space of the housing (10). In addition, when the umbrella placed inside the housing 10 is rotated by the rotating body 30 to be described later, the supporting frame 21 may also rotate the rotating frame 20 which prevents the umbrella from tilting. Does not interfere with the rotation of the

In addition, the support bar 21 is rotatable by the hinge 22 when fixed to the inner circumferential surface of the rotary frame 20, it is determined to be lifted only in the direction of rotation. To this end, the side facing the inner circumferential surface of the rotary frame 20 at the portion where the hinge 22 is filled so that when the support bar 21 is horizontal, the lower end touches the inner circumferential surface of the rotary frame 20 so that it does not sag downward. It is possible to rotate the upper portion by the filleted portion of the support bar 21 by filling the top so as not to contact the inner peripheral surface of the rotary frame (20).

When the support bar 21 is rotatable in this way, as shown in FIG. 7, when the umbrella is pushed out of the support bar 21 while pulling out the umbrella placed in the inner space of the housing 10, the support bar 21 is pushed out. The support bar 21 is rotated upwards, and thus the umbrella can be taken out without damaging the umbrella.

Next, the rotating body 30 and the driving device 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

The rotating body 30 is disposed below the inner space of the housing 10 and provided with a shaft 32 which is axially coupled to the driving device 60 to be described later to protrude downward on the bottom thereof to be described later. It is rotatably supported by the drive device 60, the upper surface is provided with an insertion groove 31 for inserting the umbrella shaft end (6). Here, the insertion groove 31 is a component for inserting the umbrella shaft end 6 of the umbrella, the initial speed of starting to rotate the rotating body 30, that is, the initial speed before acceleration to the rotational speed for water removal To hold the end of the umbrella shaft so that the umbrella does not tilt or fall out of the insertion groove (31). In the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, since the lower part of the umbrella is gripped by the holding parts 40 and 50 described later, the umbrella is inclined at the rotational speed before being held by the holding parts 40 and 50 to be described later. It is enough to hold the end of the umbrella shaft so as not to fall out of the insertion groove (31). In consideration of the fact that the size and shape of the end of the umbrella shaft may vary for each manufacturer or model, the insertion groove 31 may be made of a shrinkable material like rubber.

The rotating body 30 is provided with holding parts 40 and 50 approaching toward the bottom of the umbrella axis of the umbrella in proportion to the rotational speed as the rotational speed increases, so that when the rotational speed reaches a predetermined speed The lower portion of the gripping portion (40, 50) to grip like.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the grip portion (40, 50) is fixed to the weight weight (42, 52) at the bottom and the hinge (41, the edge of the rotary body 30 at a point between the top and bottom) 51) to be coupled to rotate to the outside, accordingly, the upper end of the holding portion (40, 50) is moved toward or away from the umbrella axis of the umbrella inserting the end of the umbrella shaft in the insertion groove (31) It is. In addition, the holding parts 40 and 50 are provided in plural numbers and are mounted to be spaced apart from each other along the edge of the rotating body 30.

In this way, the holding parts 40 and 50 coupled to the edge of the rotating body 30 by the hinge 22 are rotated together when the rotating body 30 rotates, and thus receive centrifugal force to move outward. At this time, the centrifugal force is affected by the speed and the radius of rotation, but in the form of the present invention, if the mass of the weights 42 and 52 is larger than the mass of the upper side of the holding parts 40 and 50, the weights 42 and 52 Since it depends largely on the mass of, the centrifugal force is large at the lower end where the weights 42 and 52 are fixed. As a result, the grip parts 40 and 50 are rotated about the hinges 41 and 51 by receiving the force of the lower end extending outwards more than the upper end, and the upper ends of the grip parts 40 and 50 are rotated by this rotation. Approach the umbrella. Therefore, the upper ends of the holding parts 40 and 50 become closer to the umbrella as the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 increases, and when the rotational speed reaches a predetermined rotational speed, the upper end of the holding parts 40 and 50 closely adheres to the umbrella. It will exert a force to push it.

According to the present invention, since the holding parts 40 and 50 are provided in plural and are spaced apart from each other along the rim of the rotating body 30, the respective holding parts 40 and 50 push the lower part of the umbrella in all directions, Since the center is retracted, the bottom of the umbrella can be firmly gripped.

Here, the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 to the extent that the gripping portion 40, 50 gripping the bottom of the umbrella is the material and specific gravity of the gripping portion 40, 50 and the weight (42, 52) It may vary depending on the weight and the shape of the grip portion (40, 50), in consideration of these factors may be appropriately manufactured. In addition, the holding force by the holding parts 40 and 50 increases as the weight of the weights 42 and 52 increases, and when the weight of the weights 42 and 52 is too large, the weights 42 and 52 become larger. Since the gravitational movement to the lower side by the mass of the gravitational force to the lower side does not force the rotation of the rotating body unduly high speed, the grasping operation is not made, the force required to hold the mass of the weight (42, 52) and It may be appropriately determined in consideration of the rotation speed. For example, the holding parts 40 and 50 are formed of a material that is very small compared to the specific gravity of the weights 42 and 52, for example, a plastic material, and the weights 42 and 52 have a thin thickness. As a ring made of metal, the number of rings is gradually increased, and as a result of repeated experiments, an appropriate number of rings may be determined.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the holding parts 40 and 50 may include the first holding part 40 that first grips the lower part of the umbrella in time when the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 gradually increases. When the first gripper 40 reaches a speed faster than the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 when holding the lower part of the umbrella, the second holding part 50 is to hold the lower part of the umbrella. It is composed. In other words, when the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 gradually increases, the first gripper 40 grips the lower part of the umbrella first in time, and the second gripper 50 makes the umbrella later in time. Grip the bottom of the.

To this end, the upper end of the second gripping portion 50 has a shape that is bent outward compared to the upper end of the first gripping portion 40 in a state in which the rotating body 30 is not rotated. Accordingly, even when the first and second holding parts 40 and 50 have the same up and down rotation angle, the second holding part 50 performs the holding operation later than the first holding part 40. On the other hand, since the gripping order of the first and second gripping portions 40 and 50 is also influenced by the mass of the weights fixed to each, the mass of the weights can also be appropriately determined to operate in the above gripping order. Of course, the position where the second gripping portion 50 is hinged is different from the position where the first gripping portion 40 is hinged, preferably, the first gripping portions 40 are disposed at a right angle. The second gripper 50 is disposed between the adjacent first gripper 40.

In addition, the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 50, respectively, the rotation speed of the rotating body 30 exceeds the rotational speed of the rotating body 30 required to hold the lower portion of the umbrella to the top Even if is increased further, the holding state is maintained as it is, and the holding force is further increased. In detail, the rotation speed of the rotating body 30 is further increased after the first holding part 40 holds the umbrella so that the first wave is held even when the second holding part 50 is held. The branch 40 is in a state of holding an umbrella.

On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when holding the lower portion of the umbrella with the first and second gripper (40, 50), the height of the first gripper (40) and the second gripper (50) It is preferable to make the height of gripping different. In other words, the first and second gripping portions 40 and 50 are hinged to the rim of the rotating body 30 in the same way, but by varying the length from the hinge to the upper end to hold the umbrella different from each other Will be more stable.

More preferably, the length of the hinge to the upper end of the second gripper 50 is greater than the length of the hinge to the upper end of the first gripper 40 so that the second gripper 50 is It is to grip a higher portion than the first gripping portion (40). In detail, the first gripping portion 40 grips the umbrella first compared to the second gripping portion 50 in the process of gradually increasing the rotational speed of the rotating body 30, and thus the height of gripping at a low speed. Rather, the higher gripping height at high speed is more effective for holding the umbrella more stably.

As described above, in the mounting of the first gripper 40 and the second gripper 50, the gripping sequence is sequentially performed after having a difference in the grip height, as described above. ) And weights 42 and 52 fixed to the second gripper 50, respectively, to form a ring of thin thickness, while repeatedly rotating the rotating body 30 while changing the number of rings, so that the grip order is properly reached. A method of determining the number of rings to be employed can be employed.

In addition, it is preferable that the first holding part 40 and the second holding part 50 respectively mounted in plural numbers hold the umbrella at the same height and at the same time when holding the umbrella. As shown in the figure, the position where the first grippers 40 are hinged is preferably such that the same separation distance with respect to the insertion groove 31 formed on the upper surface of the rotating body 30, the first It is also preferred that the two grip parts 50 have the same distance from the insertion groove 31 in the hinged position. For convenience in manufacturing, the rotation body 30 is formed of a disc and the insertion groove 31 is formed in the center of the upper surface of the disc, by mounting a hinge on the edge of the disc, the distance between the hinge and the insertion groove 31 The method of making it constant can be employ | adopted.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the first holding portion 40, the elastic portion 43 of the shrinkable material, for example, rubber is provided on the contact portion in close contact with the bottom of the umbrella, umbrella The state of close contact with the lower part is improved. That is, since the contact with the bottom of the umbrella shrinks and closes, the close state is good, and the contact state is maintained without slipping during rotation of the umbrella due to an increase in frictional force. In general, as shown in the figure, the end of the umbrella shaft is generally made of a rod-shaped long protective material is fixed to the umbrella shaft so as to be exposed to the outside of the umbrella cloth, so that the umbrella shaft end is the first gripping portion 40 If gripped with the, the umbrella can not rotate properly due to the slipper can only turn the rotor 30. Thus, by mounting the elastic member 43 on the upper end of the first holding portion 40, it is good to rotate the umbrella in a state that firmly grip the umbrella.

On the other hand, the elastic member 43 may also be mounted on the upper end of the second gripping portion 50, but as shown in the drawing, if the portion covered with the umbrella cloth is gripped, the elastic material 43 may be Even if it is not attached to the second holding part 50, there is no problem in rotating the umbrella.

The drive device 60 is a means for rotating the rotating body 30, but may be constituted by an electric motor which can be operated by a switch operation. Since there is a risk of an accident and often installed outdoors, there is also a difficulty in supplying electricity. Therefore, it is preferable to configure the user to turn the rotating body 30 directly.

The drive device 60 for this purpose is configured to rotate the rotating body 30 by converting the up and down movement by the user's foot into a rotational movement, specifically, the footrest 61 for the user to press the foot; A rack gear 62 that is pushed back and forth along the inner bottom surface of the housing 10 by being pushed by the footrest 61 or being pushed off; A spring 63 for applying a force to the rack gear 62 in a reverse direction; An accelerator gear 65 integrally formed with the pinion 64 meshed with the rack gear 62; A driven gear 66 meshed with the accelerator gear 65 to rotate; A one-way bearing (67) for transmitting only one direction rotational movement of the driven gear (66) to the shaft (32) of the rotating body (30) to rotate the rotating body (30) only in one direction; .

The scaffold 61 is fixed to the side of the housing 10 so as to be rotatable on a horizontal axis, and the part fixed to the horizontal axis is slightly higher than the bottom surface of the housing 10 so as to rotate about the horizontal axis and the other side. It is lowered, and the other side, which is a rolled portion, is mounted to protrude outward through the lower side opening 14 of the housing.

The rack gear 62 is configured to slide longitudinally along the bottom surface of the housing 10 in the form of a bar extending into the housing 10 through the side opening 14. The tooth is formed in the longitudinal direction along the side, the footrest 61 is pushed by the footrest 61 to the inner direction of the housing when the lowering by the rotation occurs and the force to be pushed outward by the spring 63 When the foot is removed from the footrest 61, the footrest 61 is rotated and lifted while sliding outward. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the rack gear 62 is formed on the bottom surface of the housing 10 so that the rack gear 62 is fitted into the rack gear 62 so as to be guided and slide.

The accelerator gear 65 is a spur gear having gear teeth formed on a circular rim, and has a rotational axis in a vertical direction, and at the bottom thereof, a pinion 64 meshed with the rack gear 62 is integrally formed. Is formed. Here, the accelerator gear 65 rotates the driven gear 66 to be described later at a rotation speed larger than the rotation speed of the pinion 64 by making the diameter larger than the diameter of the pinion 64. This acceleration of the rotational speed is a technique generally known in the art of coupling of a gear known as a decelerator, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. On the other hand, according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the rack gear 62 is mounted in the recess groove formed in the bottom surface of the housing 10, the circular groove in which the pinion 64 can rotate freely in the interior The pinion 64 is formed into a shape connected to the jangyo groove so that the pinion 64 is engaged with the rack gear 62 in a state of being inserted into a circular recess.

The driven gear 66 is a spur gear having the rotation axis in the vertical direction and is engaged with the accelerator gear 65 to rotate.

The one-way bearing 67 is a bearing known as a one-way clutch or a one-way clutch bearing, and when locked in one direction, becomes locked and transmits torque. On the contrary, when the reverse rotation is performed, the lock is released (or slipped) so that torque cannot be transmitted through the idle. This one-way bearing 67 is fixed to any one of the two rings that are relatively rotatably coupled to the driven gear 66 and the other ring to the shaft 32 of the rotating body 30 In the state, in the forward rotation of the driven gear 66 (that is, the rotation according to the lowering of the footrest 61) in the locked state to transmit the rotational torque to the shaft and the reverse rotation of the driven gear 66 The lock is released to prevent the rotational movement of the shaft 32 of the rotating body 30 continuously rotating with the rotational inertia by the rotational force applied during the forward rotation.

The drive device 60 configured as described above is a linear movement of the rack gear 62, rotational movement of the accelerator gear 65, rotation of the driven gear 66 by pressing the footrest 61 exposed to the outside of the housing with a foot. The power is transmitted in the order of movement and rotational movement of the shaft 32, but only one-way rotation is transmitted by the one-way bearing 67 when the rotational movement of the driven gear 66 is transmitted to the rotational movement of the shaft 32. . When the foot is removed from the footrest 61, the rack gear 62 also pushes up the footrest 61 while the rack gear 62 is moved to its original position by the spring 63, thereby allowing the footrest 61 to be pressed again by the foot. Even if the driven gear 66 reverses when the gear 62 moves to the original position, the rotational force applied during the reverse rotation is not transmitted to the rotating body 30. Thereby, the rotor 30 is gradually accelerated by the rotational force which is received every time the footrest 61 is rolled.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the umbrella is placed in the interior of the housing 10 through the upper opening 11, and the umbrella shaft end is inserted into the insertion groove 31 of the rotating body 30 to stand the umbrella. By repeatedly pressing 61, the umbrella 30 can also be rotated by rotating the rotor 30 with a force applied every time the footrest 61 is pressed by the foot. At this time, each time the footrest 61 is pressed, the rotation speed of the rotating body 30 increases, and in the process of gradually increasing the rotation speed, the first holding part 40 first grips the lower part of the umbrella, and later the second holding part. Hold the umbrella at (50) and keep the umbrella in an upright state even if the phenomenon that the umbrella is going to tilt with the increase of the rotation speed appears large. In other words, the erected umbrella does not exactly fit the rotation axis of the center of gravity of the insertion groove 31, but must be slightly biased, and the bias of the center of gravity appears to be inclined due to the deviation of the centrifugal force as the rotational speed increases, but according to the present invention. Since the umbrella is strongly held by the first and second grippers 40 and 50 in accordance with the increase in speed, the umbrella is not inclined. Therefore, the umbrella which is stably held by the first and second grippers 40 and 50 can be rotated at high speed to remove moisture from the umbrella. When the umbrella rotates, the rotating frame 20 installed in the opening 11 can be configured to rotate as well and can be stabilized so as not to fall over the upper portion of the umbrella with the support bar 21 of the rotating frame 20.

On the other hand, if the footrest 61 is not rolled, the rotational speed gradually decreases due to friction, and after stopping, the umbrella can be taken out through the opening 11. At this time, the support bar 21 of the rotary frame 20 can be rotated to the upper, so that the umbrella can be taken out without damaging the umbrella. Of course, in order to stop the rotation of the umbrella more quickly, it may be further equipped with a brake to stop the rotation of the rotating body 30 or the rotary frame 20.
