Definitions

  • 8HEEI30F3 INVENTOR Heinz WEBER A rromvsr UMBRELLA HANDLE BACKGROUND OF INVENTION one part and particularly two parts facilitates the assembly particularly when it is required to mount a carrying strap, the carrying strap can be anchored within the body of the handle end and the anchoring means can be covered by a cap portion. This is still of advantage, for instance, if it is not required to have a carrying strap. In such a case, the manufacturer merely supplies the umbrella handles and if it is not required to have a carrying strap attachment, then an alternate cap portion is usually substituted for the cap portion which would be used in the case of anchoring the handle.
  • a construction in accordance with the present invention includes an umbrella handle which is open at one end, a cap portion adapted to close the open end, the cap portion mounting a plurality of pins adapted to extend within the opening of the body of the handle, the handle being mounted on the end of an umbrella stick with the umbrella stick being open to the open end of the handle, a central stud provided on the cap portion and adapted to be seated within the handle end and a transverse anchoring pin adapted to pass through the body of the umbrella stick and the central stud of the cap portion.
  • each pair of extending pins are provided on the cap near the edge thereof whereby they just engage the inner surface of the body of the umbrella handle to prevent the cap portion from rotating about the axis of the central stud.
  • a sleeve adapted to receive the umbrella stick end and said sleeve is integral with partition walls provided in the hollow body of the handle.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective schematic view taken from underneath an open umbrella
  • FIG. 2 is a vertical cross section taken through the handle of the umbrella with the cap portion removed;
  • FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the handle shown in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical cross section taken through the cap portion of the handle
  • FIG. 5 is a top plan view of a typical cap shown in FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a vertical elevation partly in cross section of a closed umbrella and handle whereby the handle is shown in vertical cross section in relation to the elements of the umbrella when the umbrella is in a closed position;
  • FIG. 7 is a top planview of the handle separate from the umbrella.
  • FIG. 8 is a fragmentary cross section of one detail of the handle.
  • the umbrella is shown having a stick 1 comprising two tubular telescopic parts 2 and 3 which are retained in an extended position by means of a conventional spring-ball catch 4.
  • a crown 5 which in this case is of rectangular cross section.
  • Dome ribs 7 are hinged to the crown 5 and are supported in the open position by means of stretcher members 8 hinged at 9 to the dome ribs 7.
  • Main runner l0 slides on the stick and the other ends of the stretcher members 8 are hinged to the main runner.
  • the main runner has a sleeve portion 10' in which a locking lever 11 of conventional construction protrudes.
  • Struts 14 are: hinged at one end to the auxiliary runner 12 and at their other ends to the stretcher members 8 at a position intermediate thereof.
  • a handle 16 is provided at the other end of the stick 1 and includes a recess 15 into which the main runner sleeve 10 is seated when the umbrella is in a collapsed folded condition as shown in FIG. 6 of the drawings.
  • the handle 16 comprises two parts preferably made of a plastic material. There is a handle body 17 which is of general trapezoidal shape in this case. There is a cap portion 18 which closes off the open bottom end of the handle body 17.
  • the handle as shown in the drawings can be readily made by injection moulding.
  • the handle 16 is a flat type handle as shown in FIG. 7 and has a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis.
  • a central sleeve 19 is located centrally in the lower portion of the body 17 and is supported to the walls 22 of the body 17 by means of partition wall 21 which is integral both with the wall 22 and the sleeve 19..
  • the sleeve 19 is provided in this case with an axial hexagonal opening which conforms to the outside cross section of the end of the umbrella stick 1.
  • the sleeve 19 can be force fitted over the end of the stick.
  • Reinforcing ribs 23 are provided along the transverse axis of the handle and for also supporting the central sleeve 19. As shown in FIG.
  • the reinforcing rib 23 extends downwardly to a distance Y from the end of the sleeve while the partition 21 is spaced from the top of the sleeve a distance X. Openings 24 can be provided in the partition 21 for reduction of material and weight.
  • the central stud 25 which is cylindrical in shape extends from the central portion of the cap 18. This stud 25 is adapted to fit into the hollow end of the umbrella stick 1 which is itself seated in the sleeve 19 of the handle. There is thus a certain. clamping effect holding the umbrella stick 1 by means of the end of the umbrella stick being sandwiched between the stud 25 and the sleeve 19.
  • Centering pins 32 project from the cap 18 and the edge 34 of the cap includes a face 35 which meets the face 36 of the wall 22 of the body 17. As shown in FIG. 5, there are four centering pins 32 arranged in pairs parallel to the transverse axis. They are located near the edges of the cap at the ends of the longitudinal axis of the angle transversely therefrom in such a manner that the centering pin engages directly against the inner surface of the wall 22 of the body 17.
  • At least inner surface 22' of-the wall 22 slopes in the longitudinal direction of the body 17 of the handle. This ensures accurate alignment of the grooves in the body 17 and cap 18 to improve the grip thereof.
  • a pin 38 is passed through the wall 22 of the sleeve 19 and the stick 1 and the stud 25.
  • the transverse pin 38 is passed through the wall 22 of the body, it is passed through the reinforcing rib 23.
  • An eye 39 is moulded to the body 17 of the handle to provide for the fitting of the carrying strap.
  • the wall 22 mounts the eye 39 and is reinforced by the rib 40 which continues as far as the wall 41 defining the entry areas 33 for the centering pins 32.
  • the other partition wall 42 of this entry area 33 merges with a transverse wall 21, see FIG. 3.
  • the dimensions of the trapezoidal-shaped body 17 of the handle are such that the body of the handle extends beyond the largest dimension Z of the main runner 10.
  • An umbrella handle comprising a body, means attaching a body to the stick of the umbrella, the body including a central axial sleeve, a marginal wall at the open end of the body, a cap adapted to fit over the open end of the body, the cap including a central projection adapted to fit within the central sleeve and a plurality of secondary projections adapted to engage the inner surface of the marginal wall.
