DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a modeling umbrella, comprising an umbrella frame, an umbrella cover 2, a head assembly 1 and an umbrella cover 10, wherein the umbrella cover 2 is fixed to the umbrella frame, and the umbrella frame comprises a plurality of umbrella ribs, an umbrella rod 6, an umbrella nest and a handle 7. The plurality of umbrella ribs comprises a main umbrella rib 3 and a plurality of auxiliary umbrella ribs 4.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the umbrella nest includes an upper umbrella nest 5.1 and a lower umbrella nest 5.2. The upper umbrella nest 5.1 is fixed to the top of the umbrella pole 6, and the lower umbrella nest 5.2 is sleeved on the umbrella pole 6 and slidably connected to the umbrella pole 6. The main umbrella rib 3 and the auxiliary umbrella rib 4 are a whole body composed of several individual parts assembled in sequence in the same direction, which can be called "one branch". Figure 4~Figure 7 As shown, the main rib 3 includes a main rib first part 3.1, a main rib second part 3.2, a main rib third part 3.3, a main rib fourth part 3.4, a main rib fifth part 3.5, a main rib sixth part 3.6, a main rib seventh part 3.7 and a main rib end part 3.8, which are assembled in sequence from the inside to the outside. The main rib first part 3.1 is connected to the upper umbrella nest 5.1, and the main rib second part 3.2 is connected to the lower umbrella nest 5.2. The auxiliary rib 4 includes an auxiliary rib first part 4.1, an auxiliary rib second part 4.2, an auxiliary rib third part 4.3, an auxiliary rib fourth part 4.4, an auxiliary rib fifth part 4.5 and an auxiliary rib end part 4.6, which are assembled in sequence from the inside to the outside. The auxiliary rib first part 4.1 is connected to the upper umbrella nest 5.1, and the auxiliary rib second part 4.2 is connected to the lower umbrella nest 5.2. The connection method between the various parts of the ribs is the same as that of an ordinary umbrella. As shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the number and position of the auxiliary ribs 4 are symmetrical with the main ribs 3 as the axis. Of course, if necessary, they can also be made asymmetrical. According to the shape of the umbrella surface 2, the lengths of the end parts 4.6 of the multiple auxiliary ribs are different, wherein the lengths of the fourth part 4.4 of the auxiliary ribs and the fifth part 4.5 of the auxiliary ribs can also be adjusted, and the main ribs 3 and the auxiliary ribs 4 form an overall umbrella frame that conforms to the shape of the umbrella surface 2 according to their respective lengths. The umbrella frame that is opened or folded by an umbrella nest belongs to the prior art. The main ribs 3 of the shaped umbrella provided in this embodiment are four-fold, and the auxiliary ribs 4 are three-fold. The end parts 3.8 of the main ribs are folded upward when folded, and the end parts 4.6 of the auxiliary ribs are folded downward when folded.

[0021] The main rib 3 can also be folded in three parts, but no matter the main rib 3 is folded in three parts, four parts or five parts, the main rib end part 3.8 needs to be upward because it is connected to the head 1.1, and the head 1.1 needs to be longer than the top of the umbrella rod 6 when folded so that the folded umbrella body can be put into the umbrella cover 10. In addition, the main rib 3 and the auxiliary rib 4 are connected to the umbrella surface 2, and a certain mutual influence needs to be considered. If the main rib 3 and the auxiliary rib 4 are both folded in three parts, then the folding directions of the end parts of the two are completely opposite when folding, which will cause the umbrella surface 2 connected to the end parts to be in an extreme pulling state, and even the situation that it cannot be folded. Therefore, the first folding scheme of the present invention is to shorten the auxiliary rib end part 4.6 of the auxiliary rib 4 next to the main rib 3. The third and fourth folds of the main rib 3 can be regarded as the third fold of the auxiliary rib 4 is made into two sections, and the extra section is folded upward. Generally speaking, they are all three-fold, with the three-fold of the auxiliary rib 4 as the main body, and the main and auxiliary ribs are basically the same, except that the end part 3.8 of the main rib has been adjusted. Figure 8~Figure 15 As shown, the auxiliary rib 4 can also be folded four or five times.

[0022] The auxiliary ribs 4 can also be made into four folds like the main ribs 3, or they can also be three folds, that is, the existing three folds are reversed, that is, a reverse umbrella, and the last fold is folded upwards. This has the advantage that your hands will not get wet when you fold the umbrella in rainy days. The advantage of four folds being one fold more than three folds is that the folded umbrella can be made shorter. In this case, since the shaped umbrella has a certain bionic nature, the wings of a bird are folded downward and backward. If they are folded upwards, it would be a bit counterintuitive and not in line with the overall bionic effect. Therefore, one of the folding schemes of the present invention is to fold the main ribs 3 into four folds and the auxiliary ribs 4 into three folds. The second scheme is a reverse umbrella with all ribs folded into four folds. Other folding schemes include: Fig.14 The main ribs can be folded four times and the auxiliary ribs can be folded five times as shown, as long as the end parts 3.8 of the main ribs are folded upwards.

[0023] like Figure 16-17 As shown, the top of the umbrella cover 10 is open along the length direction of the umbrella cover 10, and a sealing structure is provided at the opening, and the sealing structure is a zipper 8 or a Velcro 9, so as to facilitate opening or closing the umbrella cover 10, so as to put the folded umbrella body into the umbrella cover 10.

[0024] The connection between the head assembly 1 and the main rib end part 3.8 is described by the following four embodiments. Example

[0025] The head assembly 1 includes a head 1.1, which is directly connected to the end part of the main rib. The head 1.1 is in the shape of a simulated animal or cartoon doll head, such as Figure 18~Figure 20As shown, in this embodiment, the head 1.1 is a bird head, and the rear end of the head 1.1 is fixedly connected to the umbrella cover 10. The head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 can be integrally formed, or can be bonded or sewn. The head 1.1 can be hollow, and the head 1.1 and the inside of the umbrella cover 10 form a unified space. When the umbrella frame is folded, it can be placed in the unified space formed by the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10.

[0026] When the modeling umbrella is opened, since the inside of the umbrella cover 10 is empty, if the material of the umbrella cover 10 has a certain strength of support (such as fur or soft rubber material), Fig.21 As shown, when the zipper 8 is opened to the side of the head 1.1 or the hook and loop fastener 9 is opened, the umbrella cover 10 will be loose and flat to varying degrees from the rear end to the front end, and the umbrella cover 10 will be roughly triangular in side view. Since the main rib end part 3.8 is directly connected to the head 1.1, the main rib end part 3.8 cannot be connected to the umbrella cover 2, and the umbrella cover 10 can just support the umbrella cover 2.

[0027] When the head 1.1 is relatively large or high, and the material of the umbrella cover 10 does not have a certain degree of support (for example, the material of the umbrella cover 10 is cloth or plush that does not have support), the method of the first embodiment is not suitable. Fig. 22 As shown, the umbrella cover 2 above the head 1.1 needs to be made into an arch shape so that the umbrella cover 2 covers the head 1.1.

[0028] If the umbrella surface 2 is not changed (i.e. Fig.25 In order to obtain an umbrella with a normal curvature as shown in the figure, it is necessary to add an elastic connector between the main rib end part 3.8 and the head 1.1, as well as a head connector 1.2 for connecting the head 1.1 and the elastic connector and supporting the umbrella cover 10.

[0029] Because the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 are located below the umbrella surface 2, when the umbrella surface 2 is opened, the main rib end part 3.8 is connected to and supports the umbrella surface 2, so the main rib end part 3.8 is located flush with the top of the head 1.1, and when the modeling umbrella is folded, the entire umbrella body must be put into the umbrella cover 10, and at this time the main rib end part 3.8 is at the bottom of the entire folded umbrella body (such as Fig.26 As shown in the figure), it is necessary to add an elastic connector between the main rib end part 3.8 and the head 1.1. Embodiments 2 to 4 show how the main rib end part 3.8 and the head 1.1 are connected by three different elastic connectors. Example

[0030] The head assembly 1 comprises a head 1.1, a head connector 1.2 and an elastic connector. The head 1.1 is in the shape of a simulated animal or cartoon doll head. Fig.25As shown, in this embodiment, the head 1.1 is a bird head, and the rear end of the head 1.1 is fixedly connected to the umbrella cover 10. The head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 can be integrally formed, or can be bonded or sewn. The head 1.1 can be hollow, and the head 1.1 and the inside of the umbrella cover 10 form a unified space. When the umbrella frame is folded, it can be placed in the unified space formed by the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10.

[0031] like Fig.25 As shown, the head connecting member 1.2 includes a head connecting part and an umbrella cover connecting part, the head connecting part is fixed to the bottom of the head 1.1, and the umbrella cover connecting part is connected to the bottom of the umbrella cover 10. The head connecting part, the bottom of the head 1.1, the umbrella cover connecting part, the umbrella cover connecting part and the bottom of the umbrella cover 10 are all provided with a plurality of holes, and the holes of the head connecting part and the holes of the bottom of the head 1.1, the holes of the bottom of the umbrella cover 10 and the holes of the umbrella cover connecting part are connected by pins.

[0032] The main rib end part 3.8 and the rib connecting part are connected by an elastic connector, the upper part of the elastic connector is connected to the main rib end part 3.8, and the lower part of the elastic connector is connected to the connecting rod of the rib connecting part. By pressing the elastic connector, the main rib end part 3.8 and the rib connecting part are brought closer, so that the umbrella frame is easier to be stored in the umbrella cover 10.

[0033] like Figures 26 and 27 As shown, the elastic connecting member is two first springs, the first spring is a common coil spring, one end of the first spring is connected to the rib connecting portion, and the other end is connected to the main rib end part, and the first spring is perpendicular to the rib connecting portion and the main rib end part. The two first springs are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the rib connecting portion. There can also be multiple first springs to increase the stability of the connection between the main rib end part 3.8 and the rib connecting portion. Example

[0034] The head assembly 1 comprises a head 1.1, a head connector 1.2 and an elastic connector. The head 1.1 is in the shape of a simulated animal or cartoon doll head. Fig.25 As shown, in this embodiment, the head 1.1 is a bird head, and the rear end of the head 1.1 is fixedly connected to the umbrella cover 10. The head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 can be integrally formed, or can be bonded or sewn. The head 1.1 can be hollow, and the head 1.1 and the inside of the umbrella cover 10 form a unified space. When the umbrella frame is folded, it can be placed in the unified space formed by the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10.

[0035] like Fig.25As shown, the head connecting member 1.2 includes a head connecting part and an umbrella cover connecting part, the head connecting part is fixed to the bottom of the head 1.1, and the umbrella cover connecting part is connected to the bottom of the umbrella cover 10. The head connecting part, the bottom of the head 1.1, the umbrella cover connecting part, the umbrella cover connecting part and the bottom of the umbrella cover 10 are all provided with a plurality of holes, and the holes of the head connecting part and the holes of the bottom of the head 1.1, the holes of the bottom of the umbrella cover 10 and the holes of the umbrella cover connecting part are connected by pins.

[0036] The main rib end part 3.8 and the rib connecting part are connected by an elastic connector, the upper part of the elastic connector is connected to the main rib end part 3.8, and the lower part of the elastic connector is connected to the connecting rod of the rib connecting part. By pressing the elastic connector, the main rib end part 3.8 and the rib connecting part are brought closer, so that the umbrella frame is easier to be stored in the umbrella cover 10.

[0037] The elastic connecting member can be two Z-shaped springs 1.3, such as Fig.28 As shown, the Z-shaped spring 1.3 is in a "Z" shape, which is equivalent to two 60-degree torsion springs combined into one, that is, the bending part of the Z-shaped spring 1.3 is a torsion spring structure. There is an extra hole at both ends of the Z-shaped spring 1.3, plus the hole of the Z-shaped spring 1.3 itself, which is equivalent to two holes at the top and bottom, which is convenient for installation with other parts. This kind of spring is relatively rare on the market and can be specially customized. Fig.29 As shown, when the elastic connecting member is a Z-shaped spring 1.3, the rib connecting portion is provided with four connecting rods, and a plurality of first connecting holes are symmetrically opened on the four connecting rods along the width direction of the rib connecting portion. A through groove is opened along the length direction of the main rib end part 3.8, and a plurality of second connecting holes are opened on both sides of the through groove. A third connecting hole is provided at one end and a bending part of the upper part of the Z-shaped spring 1.3, and the third connecting hole is connected to the corresponding second connecting hole through a pin. A fourth connecting hole is provided at one end and a bending part of the lower part of the Z-shaped spring 1.3, and the fourth connecting hole is connected to the corresponding first connecting hole through a pin.

One end of the lower part of the two X-shaped telescopic sections 1.4 is respectively fixed to the two ends of the first sliding rod, and the other end of the lower part of the two X-shaped telescopic sections 1.4 is pin-connected with one end of the two connecting rods away from the head 1.1. A through slot is formed in the main rib end part 3.8 along the length direction, and a second sliding slot is formed on both sides of the through slot along the length direction, and the second sliding rod passes through the two second sliding slots, and one end of the upper part of the two X-shaped telescopic sections 1.4 is respectively fixed to the two ends of the second sliding rod, and the other ends of the upper parts of the two X-shaped telescopic sections 1.4 are pin-connected with the end of the main rib end part 3.8, and one end of the second spring 1.5 is fixed to the end of the main rib end part 3.8, and the other end of the second spring 1.5 is fixed to the middle of the second sliding rod.

[0042] There are many ways to make elastic connectors, the best ones are Z-shaped springs and X-shaped expansion joints, such as Fig.35 As shown, the advantage of these two parts is that they make the folding trajectory of the main rib end part 3.8 arc-shaped, driving the folded umbrella body to naturally retract a part into the head 1.1. Because the head 1.1 is hollow, the space utilization rate is improved and the volume of the folded umbrella body is reduced.

[0043] A handle 7 is mounted on the bottom end of the umbrella pole 6. The shape of the handle 7 is adapted to the overall shape of the umbrella, for example, it can be the shape of a bird's claw or tail.

[0044] like Fig.36As shown, the tail of the umbrella cover 10 is provided with a ring sleeve 11, and a lace 12 is installed in the ring sleeve 11. The lace 12 is inserted into the ring sleeve 11, and the two ends of the lace 12 pass through the belt outlet of the ring sleeve 11. The belt outlet of the ring sleeve 11 is located at one end of the sealing structure, and one end of the lace 12 is fixed at the belt outlet. The two ends of the lace 12 can be knotted or tightened by other means to tighten the ring sleeve 11, so that the folded umbrella frame can be put into the umbrella cover 10 and the zipper 8 or Velcro 9 can be closed to tighten the opening at the tail end of the umbrella cover 10. The lace 12 can also be a closed loop structure, and the two ends are rope rings after being inserted into the ring sleeve 11. The rope ring at one end can pass through the rope ring at the fixed end, so that the entire folded umbrella cover 10 can be conveniently hung up.

[0045] The shape umbrella of the present invention has a direction. When in use, since the head 1.1 is directly in front of the shape umbrella and below the end part 3.8 of the main rib, the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 are directly in front of the person's line of sight, which may affect the line of sight. There are two solutions to this problem, which can be used together.

[0046] like Fig.37 As shown, since the Z-shaped spring 1.3 or the X-shaped telescopic joint 1.4 is connected to the head connector 1.2, the height of the Z-shaped spring 1.3 or the X-shaped telescopic joint 1.4 can be shortened to move the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 upward, so that the upper part of the head 1.1 is higher than the umbrella cover 2. For this reason, the part of the umbrella cover 2 that contacts the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 can be made into an arched shape to ensure that the umbrella cover 2 covers the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 to prevent rainwater from entering the umbrella cover 10.

[0047] Another way is to flatten the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10, and use soft rubber as the material. When the umbrella is folded, the folded umbrella frame is placed in the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10, and the zipper 8 or the hook and loop 9 is closed. Since the material is made of soft rubber, the head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 will naturally be rounded, so that the folded state conforms to the natural state. The soft rubber feels comfortable and is waterproof. The head 1.1 and the umbrella cover 10 can also be made of cloth or plush. Considering that the wet umbrella body needs to be folded in when used on rainy days, the inner side of the umbrella cover 10 is preferably waterproof to a certain extent.

[0048] like Fig.38 As shown, in this embodiment, when the umbrella 2 is opened, the umbrella 2 presents two parts: the body of the animal and the background. The body of the animal can be different birds or other animals, or cartoon dolls, and the background can be designed with different colors and patterns. Fig.39As shown, the embodiment is folded to present a state with the wings folded, which is more vivid and natural than the open state. Moreover, the head 1.1 is integrated with the umbrella cover 10, so that people do not need to lose the umbrella cover 10 because the umbrella and the umbrella cover 10 are two independent items, thereby eliminating the trouble of having to pack up the fluffy umbrella body after folding.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
