Definitions

  • PATENTED SEP I 8M3 sum a of 2 Has HANDLE FOR UMBRELLA BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 1.
  • the present invention relates to umbrellas, and more particularly to a handle for a type of umbrella which assumes a flat rectangular shape when collapsed.
  • Umbrellas of this type which are known generally as flat umbrellas, include handles which must be adapted to a shape no greater than the greatest width of the folded collapsed umbrella and must take up the least possible axial length so as not to increase the overall axial length of the umbrella. Therefore, the umbrella must be relatively narrow in width.
  • handles having a rectangular shape or trapezoidal shape have been developed. It has been found in practice, however, that umbrella handles of this type present poor gripping features. Depending upon the position of the handle in the users hand, a gust of wind for instance could pull the umbrella from the users hand or at least displace it from its preferred position.
  • a construction in accordance with the present inven tion includes a handle adapted to be connected to an umbrella stick, the handle being of rhomboidal shape with the greatest dimension of the handle being parallel to the umbrella stick and including a top surface and a bottom surface perpendicular to the stick, a pair of opposed side surfaces parallel to the umbrella stick and a pair of opposed end surfaces extending at an acute angle to the stick and having with the top and bottom surfaces the general outline of a rhomboid, a rearward corner between the bottom and one of the end surfaces subtending an acute angle in the forward corner between the other end wall and the bottom surface subtending an obtuse angle, a projection extending along the bottom portion of the handle forward of the handle with at least one surface coplanar to the bottom surface and extending beyond the corner subtending the obtuse angle and defining with the forward end wall a gripping shoulder.
  • the shape of the umbrella handle as especially used on collapsible flat umbrellas is naturally gripped by the users hand with the ball of the users thumb on the rearward end wall, while some fingers of the users hand grip about the forward end wall above the projection, particularly at the shoulder so formed. The remaining fingers lie below the projection.
  • the projection thus, always enters a gap between the fingers adjacent thereto.
  • the handle is gripped such that v lapsed and stored in its sheath, there are no parts projecting beyond the cross-sectional shape of the sheath.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevation of the handle
  • FIG. 2 is an end elevation thereof
  • FIG. 3 is a top plan view thereof
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged axial cross section of the handle
  • FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the handle showing the users hand in dotted lines about the handle.
  • the umbrella handle 1 is adapted to be fixed to the end of an umbrella stick, preferably of a flat umbrella having a stick 2.
  • the handle 1 has the general appearance of a boot. This outline is provided by the rhomboidal shape of the handle when looking at it from the side, with a projection 5 extending from the forward end 4 of the handle.
  • the handle includes a bottom wall 6, a top surface 11, side walls 3 and end walls 4 and 9.
  • the bottom wall 6 and top wall 11 are perpendicular to the stick 2, while the side walls 3 are parallel to each other and to the umbrella stick.
  • the end walls 4 and 9 are at an acute angle to the umbrella stick.
  • a projection 5 extends forwardly of the handle beyond the wall 4 particularly at the corner of the rhomboid at the bottom thereof which subtends an obtuse angle.
  • the projection has a bottom surface 5 coplanar with the bottom surface 6 and has a nose 5" and a sloped wall forming a shoulder 5". Gripping area K is formed between the shoulder 5" and the angled end wall 4.
  • a bore 7 is provided near the bottom of the handle and tightly receives the end of the umbrella stick 2.
  • a pin 8 can be pierced through the handle transversely of the stick to anchor the handle to the stick.
  • the recess 7 communicates with an enlarged recess 13 having dimensions such as to receive the runner l2.
  • a loop 10 is integrally molded with the handle 1 so as to provide means for anchoring a strap.
  • a handle for an umbrella adapted to be connected to an umbrella stick, the handle being of rhomboidal shape with the greatest dimension of the handle being parallel to the umbrella stick and including a top surface and a bottom surface perpendicular to the stick, a pair of opposed side surfaces parallel to the umbrella stick and a pair of opposed end surfaces extending at an acute angle to the stick and having with the top and bottom surfaces the general outline of a rhomboid, a rearward corner between the bottom and one of the end surfaces subtending an acute angle and the forward corner between the other end wall and the bottom surface subtending an obtuse angle, a projection extending along the bottom portion of the handle forward of the handle with at least one surface coplanar to the bottom surface and extending beyond the comer subtending the obtuse angle and defining with the forward end wall a gripping shoulder.
