Description
- There is a need for a device that will house an umbrella after its use, wherein the device will drain any water from the umbrella.
- On a rainy day, the inventor of the present invention realized that there was a need for an umbrella holder that would drain any excess water from the umbrella after its use. On that day, the inventor walked from his office to his friend's car and sat in the passenger seat. He was using an umbrella that day. When he closed the umbrella and placed it by his side he soaked his clothes. This brought a lot of discomfort to him for he was going to meet a client at that time. This is when he realized that there must be a way for securing an umbrella after its use that would allow the umbrella to drain any excess water without inconveniencing the user of the umbrella.
- An object of this invention is to allow an umbrella to be stored after its use without soaking the immediate environment that the umbrella is in.
- The present invention is directed to an umbrella holder that houses an umbrella within and allows any excess water form the umbrella to drain into a basin within the umbrella holder. The umbrella holder comprises of a housing having a closed end and an open end and wherein the holder is of sufficient length to house the body of a closed umbrella, and a platform that is attached to the housing at least one inch from the closed end of the holder, wherein the platform has at least one drain hole defined within. The umbrella holder ideally would be made of a rigid plastic material or any other material that would withstand oxidation and that would also be able to support the weight of the umbrella. The umbrella holder can also have a carrying handle attached to the outside of the housing to carry the umbrella holder.
- An advantage of this invention is that it allows an umbrella to be stored after its use without soaking the immediate environment that the umbrella is in.
- These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and drawings where:
-
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an umbrella holder; and -
FIG. 2 shows a platform of the umbrella holder ofFIG. 1 . - As seen in
FIG. 1 , anumbrella holder 10 comprises of ahousing 12 having a closedend 12 a and anopen end 12 b and wherein thehousing 12 is of sufficient length to house the body of a closed umbrella, and aplatform 14 that is attached to thehousing 12 at least one inch from the closedend 12 a of thehousing 12, wherein theplatform 14 has at least onedrain hole 16 defined within. Theumbrella holder 10 ideally would be made of a rigid plastic material or any other material that would withstand oxidation and that would also be able to support the weight of the umbrella. Theumbrella holder 10 can also have acarrying handle 18 attached to the outside of thehousing 12 to carry the umbrella holder. - In one embodiment of the current invention, the umbrella holder's
housing 12 is barrel shaped. The housing would have a diameter of at least one inch and a length of at least ten inches. The platform would have a plurality of drain holes defined within. - The current invention would be used by placing a closed wet umbrella within the
housing 12 of theumbrella holder 10 and placing theumbrella holder 10 upright, more specifically, placing the closedend 12 a of thehousing 12 on a flat surface so that any water collected on the umbrella is allowed to drain from the umbrella to abasin 22 within thehousing 12. After the umbrella is drained of any water, the umbrella would be removed from theumbrella holder 10 and theumbrella holder 10 would be turned upside down so that any water collected within theumbrella holder 10 is allowed to drain out of theumbrella holder 10. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, material, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships with those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specifications are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
- Therefore, the forgoing description is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention.
