Abstract

FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of protecting people against nasty weather and may be used for enhancement of human vital activity safety under the extreme conditions of urban and countryside environment. The invention objective consists in provision of additional protection function to the user and enhancing the latter's vital activity functions. For this purpose the top of post (7) of the proposed umbrella device (7), over the bowl (10), is equipped with a bright-yellow LED lamp (12) with a semi-spherically shaped mirror reflector (11) and the light flux direction regulator (13). The hook is made hollow and contains a battery (3) ensuring power supply of the both LED lamps (2, 12). The knob (1) is made of a transparent material and is equipped with a highlighting unit containing the bottom LED lamp (2). The control panel (4) is connected to the both lamps (2, 12) and the battery (3) via the conductors (8) passing through the hook (1), the handle (6) and the post (7).

EFFECT: enhancement of human vital activity safety under the extreme conditions of urban and countryside environment.

Description

The invention relates to the field of protecting people from inclement weather and can be used to improve human life safety in extreme urban and rural environments.

Known umbrella, including a cane with a handle, sliding knitting needles and a dome [1].

Such a device, however, is not equipped with mechanisms for automatic disclosure and addition, as well as user protection systems when crossing a street with heavy traffic and in other situations dangerous to his life and health.

A well-known umbrella containing a telescopic rack with a handle, sliding knitting needles, a dome and a system for automatically opening and folding this device [2].

However, such an umbrella also does not provide reliable protection for the user when crossing the roadway and from numerous other environmental hazards.

Of the known technical solutions, the closest in technical essence to the claimed object is an umbrella, including a telescopic rack with a handle, a hook, a knob, sliding knitting needles, a dome and a lighting unit with a control panel [3].

However, the backlight unit, which is part of a well-known umbrella, does not provide adequate comfort and safety for the user's movement in inclement weather, when crossing streets and underground passages, passing through cluttered or cramped city buildings, in alleys, courtyards, porches, staircases, in conditions their insufficient light in the dark, which does not allow the user to correctly navigate the terrain.

The objective of the claimed device is to provide the user with additional protection functions and increase the safety of his life.

This result is achieved by the fact that in an umbrella that includes a telescopic rack with a handle, a hook, a knob, sliding knitting needles, a dome and a lighting unit with a control panel, the top of the rack above the dome is equipped with a bright orange top LED lamp with a hemispherical mirror reflector and a manual regulator the direction of the light flux, the hook is hollow, and it contains a battery that provides power to both LED lamps, the knob is made of transparent material and equipped with a backlight unit, scored lower LED lamp, the control panel is connected with both tubes and the battery conductors extending through the coupling, a knob, a handle, and a rack.

A diagram of the claimed device is shown in the drawing.

The design of such a safety umbrella consists of a transparent knob (1), a lower (2) LED lamp, a hook with a battery (3) located inside it, a panel (4) for controlling the entire electrical system, buttons (5) for controlling the mechanism for opening and folding the umbrella , handles (6), racks (7), conductors (8), sliding knitting needles (9), domes (10), hemispherical reflector (11), top (12) LED lamp and manual regulator (13) of the direction coming from this light source.

The security umbrella works as follows. In various life situations, including when the user is moving together with an umbrella, he can turn on or off both the upper (12) and lower (2) LED lamps through the contactor on the control panel (4), which allows him to see that occurs directly under his feet and at a certain distance from him. Turning on the lower (2) lamp will also help him better understand the buttons (5) for controlling the mechanism of opening and folding the umbrella, since this part of it located on the surface of the handle (6) can then be well illuminated by the lower (2) lamp, which is advantage at nightfall or inclement weather. Power is supplied from its source - the battery (3) to the upper (12) and lower (2) LED lamps using conductors (8) passing inside the handle (6), stand (7), the hook with the battery (3) and the knob (one). Such control is performed by pressing the desired contactor on the panel (4). Using the buttons (5), the dome material (10) is opened or folded, which is ensured by the movement of the telescopic components of the rack (7) and the brackets of the sliding spokes (9). The direction of the light flux from the upper (12) LED lamp, reinforced by the mirror surface of the reflector (11), is manually adjusted using the regulator (13) in the interval from 0 to 180 degrees to the left and to the right of the user's line of movement. The need for such an adjustment arises when there is a danger of a car hitting a pedestrian with an umbrella or colliding with any objects in poorly lit places at night, in inclement weather, during heavy rain, snowfall, fog, etc. So, for example, when crossing the first half of the street with two-way traffic, the light flux from the upper (12) LED lamp should be emitted at a varying angle in the interval 0 ... 180 degrees, formed by the line of movement of a pedestrian with a beam directed towards the windshield of the approaching car on the left, and when crossing the second half of the street you need to do the same, but already in the direction of cars moving on the right.

The described technical solution has several significant advantages over the known. So, it provides more reliable and effective conditions for the safety and comfort of the user's life in many special cases, including when traveling at different times of the day, with sharp deterioration of the weather, in smoke, fog, ice, snow, rain, slush passing through cramped and cluttered sections of urban and other buildings, residential and non-residential areas, field, forest, ravines, embankments, streets with heavy traffic, underground passages and in other extreme cases.
