Definitions
- the umbrella handle is of the type generally known as having a flat cross-sectional shape when the umbrella is collapsed in a stowed position and normally includes a telescopic stick with collapsible dome-ribs.
- the handle includes seats for seating the ends of the dome-ribs and retaining them in'a closed position; a portion of the dome ribs seats being displaceably mounted to allow the dome ribs to pivot outwardly of the seats when the umbrella is opened.
- the invention relates to an umbrella, especially an umbrella having a flat substantially rectangular or oval cross-sectional shape in the stowed condition and a corresponding flat handle with a pair of recesses for seating the ends of the dome-ribs when the umbrella is closed.
- a construction in accordance with the present invention includes an umbrella handle adapted to fit at one end of an umbrella stick, a handle comprising lateral members extending normal to the axis of the stick. Means define a dome-rib seat on the lateral members and displaceable retaining means normally retain the dome-ribs in the dome-rib seat.
- FIG. I is an elevation view partly in cross section showing an umbrella handle in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view of a detail of the handle shown in FIG. I;
- FIG. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged cross section taken through a detail of the handle in accordance with another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 4 is an elevation view partly in cross section showing an umbrella handle according to yet another embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary cross section of a detail of still another embodiment of the invention.
- Handles t3 and 8' illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 4 respectively is fixed to the end of umbrella stick 2, and define a pair of recesses in the laterally extending handle portions 7 and 7 located diametrically of umbrella stick 2.
- the recesses l and II seat the ends 3 of inner dome-rib members 9 of the canopy dome structure, when the umbrella is closed.
- the dome-ribs 9, 10 of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 and 4 are of the folding type, however, they could well be of the telescopic type.
- the bottom wall of the recesses are formed by the lateral extensions 7 and 7 and the recesses are defined laterally by flangelike walls Ill and II.
- the handle 8 and 8' have a centrally located tubular portion 4 concentric with the stick 2 which accommodates the sleeve 5 of the runner, when the stick 2 is telescoped and the umbrella is closed.
- the outer wall portions 113 of recesses 1 are pivotally mounted to the edge of lateral extension 7 biased upwardly by a spring 12, as shown in detail in FIG. 2, and rotatable about a pivot pin 14.
- Spring 12 is arranged on pivot pin 14 in such a manner that, when the spring is not in tension, pivoting wall portion 13 is approximately normal to lateral extension 7. In this position, it retains the dome-rib ends 3 in recess 1.
- the dome-ribs 9, 10 are pivoted away from the umbrella stick 2. This pivoting movement causes the tips 3 to press against pivoting wall 13 against the spring 12 thus deflecting it outwardly about the axis of rotation of pin 14.
- pivoting wall portion 13 After the umbrella has been opened and all of the dome-rib ends 3 have left recess 1, pivoting wall portion 13 returns once more to its upward position of rest under the action of spring 12.
- the pivoting wall portion 13 can be manually depressed against the urging of the spring 12 to allow the tips 3 to pass into the recesses 1.
- leaf spring 15 illustrated in F IG. 3 is substantially the same as that already described.
- the leaf spring 15 constitutes in its position of rest a dome-rib displaceable retaining means for retaining the ends 3 in recesses 1, and is pressed down against its own spring force when the dome-rib ends 3 move away from the umbrella stick 2 as the umbrella is opened, and when the umbrella is closed towards the umbrella stick 2.
- the leaf spring 15 snaps back automatically into a retaining position.
- FIG. 4 differs from that shown in FIGS.
- the pivoting lateral extensions 7' which are pivoted about the shaft 16 includes a spring mechanism similar to that illustrated in FIG. 2 for urging the pivoted lateral extension 7 to the full line position shown in FIG. 4.
- the dome-rib ends 3 are pivoted outwardly, they press against the end wall 11 of the pivoted lateral extension 7, forcing the lateral extension 7 to pivot downwardly against the action of the spring and about the shaft 16 as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 4.
- the pivoted lateral extension 7' can be pivoted downwardly against the spring manually in order to allow the dome-rib ends 3 to align themselves with a recess 1.
- the extension 7" is molded integral with walls 13'', i.e., the pivot wall 13" is integral with the lower wall and is formed as a thinner web at the lower edge permitting the wall 13" to be displaced outwardly due to pressure exerted by rib portions 3, and having sufficient stiffness to return to the normal position shown.
- said handle including diametrically-opposed lateral members extending transversely of the axis of said stick, said handle including flangelike walls defining dome-rib seats on the lateral members,
- said dome-rib seats opening in flanking relation along said stick
- said rib seats including displaceable abutment portions normally urged into a position to retain dome-ribs in said rib seats, said abutment portions being displaceable diametrically by movement of said ribs out of said seats as the umbrella is erected.
