Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of umbrellas, and in particular relates to an umbrella accessory that can be opened by sliding without buttons. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, umbrellas have become a must-have item for people's daily travel and outdoor activities, and their application scenarios are extremely wide. Whether it is daily commuting, shopping, or outdoor travel, picnics and other activities, umbrellas play an indispensable role. Among the many types of umbrellas, straight-bone automatic umbrellas are favored by some consumers due to their durability and quick opening and closing characteristics; multi-fold automatic and umbrellas are popular among people who travel frequently because they are easy to carry and store.

[0003] However, current sun umbrellas have many shortcomings in terms of opening methods and accessories. The traditional button-type umbrella opening structure is a common opening and closing method for sun umbrellas, but its disadvantages are obvious. From the perspective of durability, after long-term and frequent use of the buttons, the internal parts are easily worn, resulting in failure of the umbrella opening function, increasing maintenance costs and the possibility of product scrapping. In terms of operational convenience, button operation requires users to have a certain degree of hand strength and accuracy, which is difficult for the elderly, children, and people with limited mobility who have weak hand strength to operate. Moreover, the buttons protruding from the surface of the umbrella body not only destroy the overall smooth appearance of the umbrella and affect the aesthetics, but also easily hook onto clothes, bags or other items during carrying, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0004] In addition, the traditional button-type umbrella opening structure is poorly adaptable to umbrellas with different handle shapes. In pursuit of unique design and better holding experience, some multi-fold automatic umbrellas have relatively novel and complex handle designs. The layout and operation method of traditional buttons are difficult to perfectly combine with these special handles, and cannot take into account the principles of ergonomics, resulting in uncomfortable holding and poor operating experience for users. During the opening and closing process of the straight-bone automatic umbrella, the lower nest is prone to swinging left and right in windy weather due to the unreasonable connection between the lower nest and the handle, resulting in poor stability of the entire umbrella, which not only affects the use effect, but also may pose a safety hazard to the user. For handles with special textures, curvatures or decorations, the installation of the traditional button-type umbrella opening structure often destroys the overall design of the handle, reduces the product's aesthetics and market competitiveness, and limits the innovation and development of the umbrella's appearance design.

[0039] In the embodiment, the functional ring 6 includes a functional ring body 601, and a plurality of second protrusions 602, a third protrusion 603 and a fourth protrusion 604 are arranged inside the functional ring body 601. The second protrusion 602 is adapted to the L-shaped groove 204, and the second protrusion 602 slides up and down in the L-shaped groove 204. The second protrusion 602 is adapted to the first groove 103. When the functional ring 6 is in the reference position, the third protrusion 603 presses against the head of the spring piece 3 to prevent the lower nest 1 from falling out. When the functional ring 6 is pulled down, the third protrusion 603 presses down the tail of the spring piece 3 to make the head of the spring piece 3 tilt up. A plurality of limiting pieces 605 are arranged inside the fourth protrusion 604, and the limiting pieces clamp the convex edge 206 to prevent the functional ring 6 from falling out.

[0040] In the embodiment, the handle 2 is a straight rod, a curved rod, or a C-shaped handle 2 .

[0041] In the embodiment, the spring piece 3 is a Q-shaped spring piece 3 .

[0042] In the embodiment, the functional circle 6 is designed to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.

[0043] In the embodiment, a buttonless sliding opening umbrella accessory is included according to any one of claims 2-8.

[0044] In the embodiment, the upper nest 7, the middle rod 8, the sleeve 9, the middle nest 13, the ribs 10, the support ribs 11 and the umbrella accessories 12 are included. The upper nest 7 is provided at the head of the middle rod 8, the sleeve 9 is connected to the tail of the upper nest 7, the tail of the sleeve 9 is connected to the middle nest 13, the upper nest 7 is connected to the head of the ribs 10, the bottom of the middle rod 8 is connected to the umbrella accessories 12, the lower nest 1 slides up and down in the upper nest 7 and the handle 2, the fixing piece 102 and the middle nest 13 are connected to the tail of the support rib 11, the head of the support rib 11 is connected to the middle of the ribs 10, and the middle rod 8 is a straight rod or a folding rod.

[0045] How it works

[0046] Connection and locking state: In the initial reference position, the second protrusion 602 inside the functional circle 6 presses against the head of the Q-shaped spring piece 3, so that the head of the spring piece 3 is tightly connected to the first groove 103 in the lower nest 1, and the lower nest 1 is connected to the handle 2. At this time, the polygonal protrusion 104 of the lower nest 1 and the polygonal design of the inner hole 203 of the straight body 202 of the handle 2 cooperate with each other to ensure that the position between the lower nest 1 and the handle 2 is relatively fixed and the overall structure is stable. The spring 4 is in a natural state, providing a certain support force for the spring piece 3 to maintain its connection with the lower nest 1.

[0047] Umbrella opening operation process: When the umbrella needs to be opened, the user pulls down the functional ring 6. Since the second protrusion 602 inside the functional ring 6 is adapted to the L-shaped groove 204 on the surface of the straight body 202 of the handle 2, the second protrusion 602 will slide down along the L-shaped groove 204. During the sliding process, the second protrusion 602 presses down the tail of the Q-shaped spring 3. According to the principle of leverage, the head of the spring 3 is tilted, so that it is separated from the first groove 103 in the lower nest 1. At this time, the lower nest 1 is disconnected from the handle 2, and the lower nest 1 can slide up and down freely in the sleeve 9 and the handle 2. Because the upper part of the lower nest 1 is connected to the support rib 11 of the umbrella through the fixing member 102, the head of the support rib 11 is connected to the middle part of the umbrella rib 10, and the upper nest 7 is connected to the head of the umbrella rib 10 and is connected to the middle rod 8, when the lower nest 1 slides upward, it will push the support rib 11 and the umbrella rib 10 to unfold, thereby realizing the opening action of the umbrella.

[0048] Structural stability guarantee: The functional ring 6 is designed to be narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and the fourth protrusion 604 inside it is provided with a plurality of limit pieces 605, which tightly clamp the convex edge 206 at the top of the straight body 202 of the handle 2, ensuring that the functional ring 6 can slide up and down smoothly on the handle 2 without accidentally falling out, thus ensuring the structural stability of the entire umbrella accessory during use. During the process of opening and closing the umbrella, the L-shaped groove 204 and the second groove 205 of the straight body 202 of the handle 2 cooperate with the second protrusion 602 and the third protrusion 603 inside the functional ring 6, which not only guides the movement trajectory of the functional ring 6, but also further enhances the stability of the connection between the various components.

[0049] Optimized fit and stability: The unique design of the lower nest 1, with its lower part gradually changing from the multi-angle groove edge to the rounded mouth, can reduce the left and right swing when opening and closing the umbrella when it is matched with the handle 2. This design makes the lower nest 1 smoother when sliding up and down, and improves the stability of the umbrella opening and closing operation. The handle 2 provides a variety of types such as straight rod, curved rod and C-shaped to meet the holding habits and usage needs of different users. Regardless of the type of handle, it can work closely with other accessories to achieve a stable opening and closing function of the umbrella.

[0050] Umbrella rib storage principle (new function): When the umbrella needs to be folded after use, push the umbrella rib 10 toward the functional circle 6. Due to the internal space design and structural characteristics of the functional circle 6, the umbrella rib 10 can be recycled into the functional circle 6. The functional circle 6 provides a protective barrier for the umbrella rib 10, preventing the umbrella rib 10 from direct contact with external objects during storage and carrying, reducing scratches and collisions, and extending the service life of the umbrella rib 10. At the same time, the umbrella rib 10 stored in the functional circle 6 will not hook clothes or cause harm to others, which improves the convenience and safety of carrying the umbrella.

[0051] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the present invention. The patent protection scope of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
