Definitions
- the invention relates to a handle for umbrellas, in particular umbrellas, for supports, sticks, crutches or the like.
- Grips for umbrellas in particular umbrellas, but also for crutches are available in an unmistakable number of embodiments.
- Most of the handle ends on umbrellas are curved in a hook shape, or they have a cylindrical shape, usually crowned at the ends.
- button-like handles which only offer an imperfect grip to the fingers, since the button mostly rests on the ball of the hand, while the fingers mostly stick-like with the button-like umbrella handle Grasp the end, i.e. the umbrella stick, to hold the umbrella.
- hook-shaped curved handles for umbrellas walking sticks or crutches are concerned, they are unfavorable because when the stick is supported, not only bending, but also bending, at least in the transition area to the hook-shaped handle.
- the invention has for its object to provide a handle for umbrellas, in particular umbrellas, for supports, sticks and crutches or the like, with increased manageability, with favorable force application in the hand and in the forearm of the user.
- the handle according to the invention essentially consists of a body arranged at the end of the stick-like extension, which cuts the longitudinal axis of the stick-like extension at an acute angle with its longitudinal axis, the handle essentially consisting of two longitudinal sections which are integrally connected to one another and one have a common straight longitudinal axis, the length section facing the thumb and index finger being directed towards the stick-like extension and forming the acute angle with its longitudinal axis, while the other length section facing the palm of the hand with its longitudinal axis is an obtuse angle with the longitudinal axis of the stick-like extension forms.
- This embodiment of the handle has a favorable influence on the handling ability of the handle in various ways.
- the wrist can introduce the force into the stick-like extension when it is supported on the handle without kinking.
- the handle itself is no longer additionally subjected to bending, but practically only subjected to pressure, while the stick-like extension no longer when it is put on on pressure buckling, but only on buckling.
- Even when wearing an umbrella equipped with such a handle the wrist can be kept running straight to the forearm. This also makes it easier to shoulder an umbrella, which is particularly advantageous for so-called partner umbrellas. If the handle is used in orthopedic supports (crutches), the user can rest on the support or crutch in a more convenient and much safer manner than is the case with hook-shaped curved handles.
- the longitudinal sections of the handle are of different lengths. This allows the grip of the grip hand to be adjusted anatomically favorably.
- the length section already facing the thumb and forefinger is made shorter than the length section facing the palm of the hand.
- the handle on its outer contours is rounded without gaps after smooth radii or curves - claim 4.
- At least one length section is formed on its upper side with a non-slip surface, insert or the like.
- This training can be formed according to claim 7 by knobs or according to claim 8 as a roughening or - as described in claim 9 - with a rubber or plastic insert.
- the handle has a bulge or button-like thickening in the transition region between the stock-like extension and a shorter length section, that is to say in the handle position at the lower end section of the handle, so that the hand cannot slide off.
- This button-like or bulge-like thickening can consist of an easy-to-grip material, for example of foam rubber, plastic or also of a wood-like plastic.
- the shorter length section has a spherical or button-like thickening on its front face.
- This spherical or button-like thickening can consist of an abrasion-resistant, elastic material, for example of a polyurethane plastic, which has rubber-like properties.
- the handle with the part arranged thereon for example an umbrella, can be gently attached to a piece of furniture or the like.
- the handle is hollow and is used to hold devices, for example a flashlight that shines forward and can be switched on and off via an externally accessible button, a cell phone, a GPS, a bell or the like.
- Claim 13 describes a further advantageous embodiment, which is particularly suitable for orthopedic supports.
- the two longitudinal sections are made of wood.
- the handle is made of plastic in one piece.
- the embodiment according to claim 16 consists of glass fibers with inlays, for example non-slip inlays, which transition seamlessly and into the surface portions of the handle.
- the stick-like extension in the grip area merges into this over a small radius, while it is normally also designed to be straight in this area.
- the stick-like extension can be cylindrical if necessary.
- Figure 1 is a handle designed as an umbrella handle, shown partially broken, in side view.

- FIGS. 1 to 11 a handle 1 is shown applied to an umbrella, in particular an umbrella, while FIG. 12 shows a construction designed as a forearm support with which a handle 1 according to the invention is coupled.
- the handle designated overall by reference number 1
- the one-piece design can mean functional or material one-piece design.
- the handle 1 can be connected to the stick-like extension 2 by casting, in particular injection molding, molding, but also by screwing (not shown) or gluing.
- the stick-like extension 2 can be tubular, hollow (FIG. 6) and be provided with a blind hole 3, into which a screen stick 4, or a stick 5 of a forearm support is arranged, for example screwed, fitted, clamped or glued.
- the connection can also be made by press fitting.
- Reference numeral 6 designates a release button for an automatic umbrella.
- the button can, however, also be omitted since the invention is not restricted to a specific type of umbrella, in particular not to a specific type of umbrella.
- the longitudinal axis 7 of the handle 1 extends at an angle deviating from 90 degrees to the longitudinal axis 8 of the stick-like extension 2, such that the length section 9a of the handle 1 facing the thumb-index finger area in
- Axis 8 of the stick-like extension 2 is arranged inclined, while the length section 9b of the handle 1 facing the handball of the user below
- extension 2 runs.
- the longitudinal axis 7 is rectilinear, while the handle 1 in the illustrated embodiments is essentially an ellipsoid.
- the handle for example it can be cylindrical on it Be designed outer surface, have grooves, have constrictions, or have notches and recessed grips.
- the angle ⁇ is approximately 25 ° to 50 ° in the illustrated embodiments.
- the handle is smooth-walled continuously from the same material, for example from glass fiber reinforced plastic, from wood, from a polyurethane plastic or the like
- This can be a plastic with roughening, knobs, depressions or the like.
- the insert 11 is adapted to the outer contour of the handle 1, so that the insert 11 terminates without jumps with the rest of the material of the handle 1.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 5 also has such an insert 11. Otherwise, the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6 is provided in its interior with a recess 12, in which, in the embodiment according to FIGS. 5 and 6, a lamp in the form of a rod torch 13 is arranged, which is directed downwards (in the Seen in the drawing plane) throws its light after switching on by means of a button (not shown) to be actuated by the handle 1, so that the user can illuminate the path in front of it, the handle 1 should be used, for example, in a support, a walking stick or the like. But even with a screen such a flashlight 13 can be arranged here.
- a cell phone for example a cell phone, a GPS, a signaling device or the like
- a signaling device for example a cell phone, a GPS, a signaling device or the like
- the recess 12 can also be accommodated in the recess 12 in a concealed manner. This can be the case, for example, when used in women's umbrellas, so that in an emergency they can generate a loud and penetrating tone by pressing a button to call for help.
- the dimensions C and D denote the respective straight dimension from the respective free end faces of the length section 9a or 9b to the periphery of the stick-like extension 2.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 7 differs from the previously described embodiments in that once again an insert 11 is arranged on the top 10 made of material which is easy to grip, for example a rubber-like plastic.
- the length section 9a has on its end face a hemispherical cap, knobs or bead 14 made of a non-slip plastic, in particular a polymer having rubber-like properties, by means of which the handle with the umbrella (not shown) arranged thereon, a walking stick, a walking crutch or the like can be attached to a base 15, for example on the surface of a table. The screen or the like then swings out according to its center of mass.
- the angle ⁇ is again an acute angle.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 11 differs from the one described above in that the ellipsoidal handle 1 is also smooth-walled on its upper side and on its entire periphery and over its entire length.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 12 is an armrest, as can be used, for example, in sick, handicapped or elderly people.
- the same reference numerals have again been used for parts with the same function.
- This embodiment differs from the ones described above in that a butt-wound tube 18 is connected to the length section 9b, specifically with the end face, which engages in a bore 19 of the length section 9b.
- a shell-shaped abutment 21 is attached to the free, upward-facing end section of the tube 18.
- the cup-shaped abutment 21 is trough-shaped in accordance with the contours of the forearm.
- the reference numerals 20 and 22 denote end caps which fit into the contour of the handle 1 and can be made of a different material than the other parts of the handle 1, for example.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 13 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 12 first in that the length section 16 of the stick-like extension 2 merges into the handle 1 according to an arc, namely on its underside.
- the tube 18 of the embodiment according to FIG. 12 is replaced by a support section 23, which is formed in one piece with the stick-like extension 2, engages under the handle 1 in an arc-shaped manner and engages behind on the side and which at its upper, free end (seen in the plane of the drawing in FIG. 13) has cup-shaped abutment 21 which surrounds and guides the user's forearm on three sides.
- the cup-shaped abutment 21 overlaps the upper side 10 of the handle 1 at a clear distance, which results in a particularly favorable introduction of force and guidance of the hand-forearm area of the user results.
- the stick 5 can be extended telescopically, but can also be designed in any other way, for example in one piece.
- the support section runs both on its outer and on its inner periphery in each case according to a circular arc with different radii of curvature, so that the support section extends both downwards in the direction of the stick-like extension 2 and in the direction of the cup-shaped abutment 21 gradually widened, the widening in the direction of the cup-shaped abutment 21 being substantially greater than in the direction of the stick-like extension 2.
- the same reference numerals have been used for parts with the same function.
- the embodiment according to FIGS. 14 and 15 differs from the embodiments according to FIGS. 12 and 13 in that the shell-shaped abutment 21 is curved in a semi-tubular or three-quarter tubular shape, that is to say it is practically closed on three sides on the circumference and over one smooth arc section 24 formed into a hollow shell-shaped transition into the stick-like extension 2.
- the radii of curvature of the outer and inner wall sections 25 and 26 are designed differently such that the wall thickness increases upwards (as seen in the drawing plane of FIG. 14) without a jump and gradually increases to the full width of the bowl-shaped abutment 21, while it decreases steadily downwards, whereby then the shell-shaped abutment 21 integrally merges into the stick-like extension 2 surrounding it.
- the handle 1 is arranged in the cavity 27 such that the surface 10 is arranged a short distance below the end face 28 of the cup-shaped abutment 21. As can be seen from Fig. 14, the handle 1 extends practically within this cavity 27, so that slipping of the forearm-hand area is prevented by the cup-shaped abutment, in particular also by the arc section 24 on three sides. The user of such a support thus engages in the cavity 27 from above or sideways.
- the length of the stick 5 can be changed in steps, that is to say intermittently, or also continuously by means of a force-fitting connection, and can thus be adapted to the size of the user.
- the bowl-shaped abutment 21, the stick-like extension 2 and the handle 1 can, if necessary, be made in one piece in terms of material, for example by injection molding, and in particular made of a plastic, for example a polymer, which are shockproof and impact-resistant to the required extent and resistant to aging and has a certain ozone resistance.
