Description

An automobile umbrella belongs to the field of engineering and production of automotive products and is designed to protect the body of a car from the effects of negative factors, which can be: heating by the sun's rays in hot weather, precipitation in the form of rain, snow or hail, falling fruits and tree branches.

A car umbrella is quickly installed on the roof of a car and is a structure consisting of folding elements that act as a frame that stretches the protective awning attached to it in the working position. Folding elements are made of aluminum tube, light but at the same time durable material. Folding elements, in the working - unfolded state, have different lengths, they are shorter on the sides of the car, and longer directed forward and backward.

The auto umbrella has the shape of an oval, the major axis of which is directed along the length of the car. When folded, the umbrella is stored in the trunk of a car in a special case.

Anti-hail auto umbrellas are known: utility model patent No. 138609 and utility model patent No. 143370, which is a modified model of the product with patent No. 138609. The products are a structure mounted on the roof of a car on folding legs. Products consist of a base, made in the form of a disk, with a fungus at the end. Either telescopic elements (patent No. 138609) or folding elements (patent No. 143370) are attached to the base, for which a fine mesh net is fastened, these samples serve to protect the car body from hail.

The claimed invention is illustrated by drawings, which show:

EFFECT: transformation of the car umbrella frame from the folded state into the unfolded one.

The technical result of the claimed car umbrella is that the frame of the car umbrella consists of folding elements made of aluminum pipes, the car umbrella is installed on the roof of the car, on folding legs equipped with plastic supports, with a rubberized sole, inserted into the leg end pipe. The auto umbrella is securely held on the roof of the car by fixing it with rubberized cords with stretch marks, to the wheel arches of the car and (or) behind the rear-view mirrors of the car. The auto umbrella is a structure consisting of a base - 1, made of an aluminum pipe of increased diameter, a mechanism for their transformation - fig. 7, consisting of an aluminum profile pipe - 2, with 3 attached with rivets, fixing plates - 4, a rod is threaded in the upper lugs of the connected fixing plates, with a threaded thread - 5, cap nuts are installed on the ends of the rod - 6, providing fastening rod to plates.

Folding legs are attached to the base of the umbrella - fig. 4,5,6. Which consist of segments of aluminum pipes of equal size - 7, plastic supports with rubberized soles - 8, a metal bracket for fastening the legs to the base - 9, retaining rings made of pipe segments of a slightly larger diameter of the pipe of the legs, ensuring the fixation of the legs in the unfolded state - 10, fasteners legs to the bracket, made of a threaded rod, which passes through the hole in the bracket and with the help of cap nuts - 12, provides fastening of the rod to the tubes of the legs. The cutout in the upper part of the legs - 11, provides the transformation of the legs from the folded to the unfolded state. Legs with a bracket, with the help of a threaded rod and cap nuts, are attached to the base of the auto umbrella. In the unfolded state, the legs allow you to install an auto umbrella on the roof of the car - fig. 8. Using the mechanism of transformation of frame elements - fig. 9,10,11, made of sections of an aluminum profile pipe of a certain size - 13, fastened together, fastening plates - 14, with the help of blind rivets - 15, they are transformed from a folded to an unfolded state, using a threaded rod - 16 , threaded through the connected lugs of the plates and fixed with the help of cap nuts - 17. The transformation of the car umbrella frame from the folded state to the unfolded state is carried out through the impact on the frame elements attached to the transformation mechanisms using a rod with a threaded thread - 18, threaded through the holes in the pipes and transformation mechanisms and fastened with cap nuts - 19. The transformation of the frame mechanisms is provided by technological holes in the folding elements. At the last stage of the umbrella transformation, folding frame elements - fig. 14, 15, which are similar mechanisms as in Figs. 7 are transformed into the unfolded state. The unfolded umbrella is shown in Fig. 1, 2, the unfolded auto umbrella, with the help of rubberized stretch cords, with metal hooks, is fixed on the wheel arches of the car and (or) behind the rear-view mirrors of the car.

Taking into account the dimensions of the auto umbrella, a protective awning is made under it, which is attached to the ends of the tubes of the auto umbrella frame, using plastic cap plugs or in another way. An auto umbrella with an awning put on it is installed on the roof of the car.

When folded, the car umbrella takes up little space and is placed in a special case. To install the car umbrella in working condition on the roof of the car, you need to install the folding legs perpendicular to the base of the umbrella, fix them with locking rings. Lay out the base and frame of the auto umbrella, while the awning on the auto umbrella will stretch. Rubberized cords - pull the stretch marks down and fix them with hooks behind the wheel arches of the car and (or) behind the rear-view mirrors of the car. After installing the auto umbrella, all car doors will be able to open and close, it is possible to move the car at low speed. It will take a few minutes to bring the structure into working position. Folding it occurs in the reverse order. First, stretch marks are removed, then, the links of all folding elements are folded in turn. The auto umbrella is removed from the roof of the car, the base of the auto umbrella and legs are folded, after which the folded auto umbrella is placed in a cover.
