FIG. 3 first; the present invention relates to a super flat umbrella, which includes a shaft (5) connecting with an upper joint (1) and a sliding runner (2) around. A frame (3) has a first rib (32) connecting with the upper joint (1) and has a branch rib (31) with the runner (2). The character of the present invention is that the upper joint (1) includes a convex portion (13) on both sides, which provides different planes. Hence, as shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 , when the umbrella is closed, the frame (3) has the frames being positioned regularly in triangle state, wherein the central frame (3) and the side frames (3′) are not in the same plane that no conflict will happen and the umbrella will be kept in absolutely flat manner. The umbrella can provide a normal use as shown inFIG. 6 when it is opened. - Referring to
FIG. 7 to 9, it discloses a modified embodiment of the present invention. It provides a cover plate (6) with two convex portions (61) on both sides on the upper joint (1), wherein the two convex portions (61) are in a similar function as the portions (13) of the joint (1) in previous embodiment. The central frame (3) will be positioned outward by the convex portions (61) and the side frames (3′) are kept beside the shaft (5) for prevent from conflict. - Such as shown in
FIG. 10 to 13, it is another modified embodiment of the present invention, wherein the central frame (3) has a branch rib (31) with a projection (311). When the umbrella is closed, a connector (34) of the second rib (33) will be positioned by the projection (311). Accordingly, the central frame (3) and the side frames (3′) are in triangle state without conflict while the closed umbrella will be super flat with small volume. - Moreover, it can be found that only one metal wire (4) is necessary to connect the ribs with the joint or the runner in all above-mentioned embodiments according to the present invention. It is economic in time and cost when manufacturing the umbrella.
- In above description, they are only examples to illustrate our embodiment and are not to limit the scope of this application. Any modified embodiments with similar merits will be also claimed according to the present invention.
