Description

Umbrella {Umbrella}

The present invention relates to an umbrella, and more particularly, to an umbrella which prevents damages that may occur to other persons passing by the umbrella user by the end of the umbrella, And an umbrella capable of reducing the manufacturing cost.

Umbrellas are used as equipment to cover the head area from rain or snow when rain or snow falls, or as a sunscreen equipment.

These umbrellas serve as supports, and at the lower end are an umbrella with a handle, an upper clasp fixed to the top of the umbrella, an umbrella that is radially hinged to the upper clasp, a tubular runner that moves longitudinally along the umbrella, And an umbrella cloth covering the middle flesh and the umbrella flesh connecting the runners. If the user wishes to use the umbrella, push the runner up to the top of the umbrella stand to unfold the umbrella pot, and if the umbrella is to be stored, lower the runner down to the umbrella stand.

In the conventional umbrella, the outer periphery of the umbrella is connected to the end of the umbrella, and the outer periphery of the umbrella is sharp. Accordingly, when the conventional umbrella is used, the end of the umbrella fingers the body such as the eyes of another person passing by the side of the user who uses the umbrella, which may cause damage to another person. The outer periphery of the umbrella shell of the conventional umbrella is joined to the end of the umbrella with a thread or the like. Accordingly, when the conventional umbrella is used for strong wind, there is a problem that the umbrella can be separated from the end of the umbrella by strong wind.

In order to solve the above problems, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2007-511320 discloses an umbrella including an inner rod which is moved inside a tube and a tube, a pocket provided on the outer periphery of the umbrella, An umbrella having a pointed portion removed on the outer periphery of the umbrella is proposed including a spreader which is unfolded or folded by the umbrella.

However, the umbrella proposed in the above publication is structurally heavy because the spreader is unfolded or folded by using the inner rod which is moved inside the tube and the tube. This problem causes another problem that the manufacturing cost is increased. The umbrella proposed in the above publication has a problem in that it can not be unfolded automatically in terms of structure.

1 to 4, an umbrella 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an umbrella bag 10 provided with pockets 11 on the outer periphery thereof, an upper clasp 30 fixed to the umbrella stand 20, A lower latch 50 movably coupled to the umbrella frame 20; a base frame 60 hinged to each of the umbrella 40 and the lower latch 50 at both ends; And a spreader 70 disposed inside the pocket 11.

The umbrella pouch 10 may have a substantially circular shape so as to cover the upper surface of the umbrella piece 40. A pocket 11 may be provided on the lower surface of the umbrella pouch 10.

3, the pocket 11 and the spreader 70, which are attached to the lower surface of the umbrella cloth 10, can enter the pocket 11 And may include an inlet 11-2 in which a part of the can 11-1 and a part of the umbrella 10 are separately formed. Here, the width D1 of the inlet 11-2 is smaller than the width D2 (see FIG. 1) of the spreader 70 and larger than the width D3 (see FIG. 2) of the folded spreader 70 have. This allows the umbrella 1 to be unfolded into the pocket 11 through the inlet 11-2 so that when the spreader 70 is unfolded the spreader 70 is released from the pocket 11 It is prevented that the umbrella cloth 11 is separated from the umbrella shell 40 even when strong winds are present.

The umbrella stand 20 is implemented as a generally known umbrella and serves as a support.

The upper clasp 30 is embodied as a generally known upper clasp and is joined to the upper end of the umbrella 20.

The umbrella 40 may be radially hinged to the upper clasp 30, embodied in a generally known umbrella shell.

The lower latch 50 may be embodied as a generally known lower latch and may be movably coupled to the umbrella stand 20 up and down.

The pedestal 60 may be embodied as a generally known pedestal, one end radially hinged to the lower latch 50 and the other end hinged to the umbrella 40.

The spreader 70 includes a main body 71 coupled to an end of the umbrella 40, a blade 72 having one end pivotally coupled to the main body 71, An expanding member 74 having both ends thereof pivotally coupled to the driving member 73 and the wing 72 respectively and an elastic member 75 disposed between the main body 71 and the driving member 73 And the opposite ends are respectively connected to the driving member 73 and the support fingers 60 so that the driving member 73 is moved toward the main body 71 when the umbrella fingers 40 are deployed, The wings 72 may expand the wings 72 to allow the wings 72 to expand the pockets 11. [

The entire outer surface of the main body 71 and the outer surface of the blade 72 or the outer surface of the main body 71 and the outer surface of the blade 72 may be curved inwardly. As a result, even if the outer periphery of the umbrella 1 pierces the body of another person's eyes passing the side of the user using the umbrella 1, .

A through hole through which the umbrella body 40 passes may be formed in the driving member 73. As a result, the driving member 73 becomes slidable in the umbrella 40.

The elastic member 75 may be embodied as a coil spring in which the umbrella 40 is inserted. When the elastic member 75 is not subjected to the force by the seal 76, the drive member 73 slides away from the main body 71 and the expanding member 74 folds the blade 72.

The main body 71 of the spreader 70, the blade 72, the driving member 73, and the spreader member 74 may be made of plastic. Accordingly, the weight of the spreader 70 is reduced, so that the user can easily handle the umbrella. The body 71 of the spreader 70, the wings 72, the driving member 73, and the spreading member 74 can be integrally formed by injection molding. Accordingly, the manufacturing process of the spreader 70 is simplified, and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

The spreader 70 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a force direction changing portion 77 for changing the direction of the force transmitted to the driving member 73 by the thread 76. [ Specifically, the force direction changing portion 77 includes a direction changing hole 77-1 formed in a direction perpendicular to the main body 71, a roller 77-2 rotatably installed in the direction changing hole 77-1 . The one end of the thread 76 is connected to the driving member 73 and the other end is wound on the roller 77-2 so as to pass through the direction switching hole 77-1 and be connected to the supporting arm 60, The force by which the pedestal 60 pulls the yarn 76 is diverted and transmitted to the driving member 73.

Hereinafter, the operation and effect of the umbrella according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

5 and 6 are views for explaining the action and effect of the umbrella according to the embodiment of the present invention.

First, when the umbrella 1 is unfolded, when the lower latch 50 is raised toward the upper latch 30, the support fingers 60 simultaneously open the umbrella fingers 40, I pull it. Then, the pulling force transmitted by the yarn 76 is changed by the force direction changing portion 77, and the driving member 73 is pulled toward the main body 71. The drive member 73 then causes the spreading member 74 to unfold and the spreading member 74 to unfold the blades 72. By this process, the pocket 11 (see Fig. 3) is unfolded.

Conversely, when the umbrella 1 is folded, when the lower clasp 50 is lowered to the lower side of the upper clasp 30, the backing fingers 60 simultaneously fold the umbrella fingers 40, To release the pulling force. Then, the spring 75 pushes the driving member 73 away from the main body 71. Then, the driving member 73 causes the spreading member 74 to be folded, and the spreading member 74 is folded over. By this process, the pocket 11 is contracted.

The unfolding and collapsing process of the umbrella 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is performed without heavy construction such as an inner rod which is moved inside the tube and the tube unlike the conventional umbrella. Accordingly, the weight and manufacturing cost of the umbrella 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention are reduced.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. It is therefore to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
