Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a personal umbrella, characterized in that when not in use, it is carried on the shoulders as a backpack; when in use, pulling and fastening the waist belt will raise and open the umbrella on the shoulders, allowing the person to be directly under the umbrella for rain protection. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are many types of personal umbrellas available, and they are convenient to use. However, generally speaking, everyone needs to hold the umbrella with one hand on rainy days, which is very inconvenient if you want to do other things at the same time. Furthermore, because the handle of existing umbrellas is supported in the middle of the umbrella, the handle must be kept away from the head when opening the umbrella. Therefore, when opening the umbrella, the person cannot be directly under the center of the umbrella; they must always be tilted to one side, and the other side is easily soaked by water dripping from the edge of the umbrella. Another drawback is that the canopy of existing umbrellas is roughly circular, so rainwater drips from all sides when it rains, easily wetting the back or trouser legs, and it does not guide the flow of rainwater. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shoulder-carry umbrella that can be worn as a backpack when it's not raining. When it rains, the umbrella can be opened and supported on the shoulders by pulling the waist belt on both sides, freeing up the hands to do other things. Furthermore, when using this shoulder-carry umbrella, the body is positioned directly below the center of the umbrella canopy, resulting in better rain protection and less exposure to raindrops dripping from the edges. Additionally, due to the umbrella's structural features—a quadrilateral canopy with the two lowest sides—rainwater is guided to drip to the sides, preventing the back and trouser legs from getting wet. The technical solution of this invention, the shoulder-carry umbrella, includes a rain-shielding umbrella fabric 2, horizontally supporting rods 1, vertical supporting rods 3 (for supporting rods 1), a control mechanism 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the supporting rods 3, a support 8 for securing the shoulders and levers 7, a shoulder strap 5 for carrying the entire shoulder-carry umbrella, and a waist belt 6 for opening the umbrella by pulling levers 7. I. The aforementioned shoulder-carried umbrella has a square canopy 2. Its opening and closing are simultaneous horizontal and vertical movements. Vertical opening is achieved by several rods 3 rotating in a fan shape around the axis 9 on both shoulders, causing the corresponding horizontal rods 1 to move vertically. Horizontal opening occurs simultaneously with the vertical opening because the two axes 9 on both shoulders project at a certain angle onto the vertical plane, resulting in horizontal movement of the rods 3. II. The structure of rod 1 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, a long strip component is formed by several thin rods connected by hinges in a prismatic shape. This structure can support a relatively large range of expansion and contraction of the long strip component. III. Control Mechanism 4 Figure 7As shown, component 10 consists of several rotatable cylinders (rod 3 is fixed to the corresponding cylinders), and component 11 is a cylindrical component. The outer surface of component 11 has a spiral groove that passes through the cylindrical component 10. The inner wall of the cylinder of component 10 has a protrusion that is embedded in the groove of component 11. When component 11 moves along axis 9, the groove of component 11 pushes the protrusion, thereby causing the cylindrical component 10 to rotate around axis 9. At the same time, rod 3 is fixed to the outer wall of component 10, so rod 3 will rotate with the movement of component 11. Fourth, the upper end of lever mechanism 7 rests against component 11, and the lower end is connected to belt 6. When belt 6 is pulled and fastened, lever mechanism 7 pushes component 11 to move, thereby opening the umbrella. When the buckle is released and belt 6 is loosened, component 11 springs back, and the umbrella closes. Thanks to the above design, this invention can be made into a backpack that can be worn on the shoulder when going out. In case of rain, the waist belt can be pulled and fastened immediately, causing the umbrella to open from the back to the front and sides to block the rain. Because of the shoulder straps and waist belt, the umbrella is stably supported on both shoulders, eliminating the need to lift the umbrella, which is very convenient. When the rain stops, the buckle and waist belt can be released, and the umbrella will automatically retract onto the back. Suitable for personal sun protection and rain shelter.
[0004] Specific implementation method: It is expected to rain when you go out, such as Figure 3 As shown, wear shoulder strap 5 on your shoulder, as... Figure 4 As shown, carrying umbrella bag 2 on your back is equivalent to carrying a backpack. The buckles of the waist belt 6 are located on both sides of your waist. When it rains, find the two buckles of the waist belt 6 on both sides of your waist, pull them inwards slightly, and fasten them like a belt. The umbrella will then open above your head. When the rain stops, loosen the buckles on the waist belt, and the umbrella will retract onto your back. Once you get home, remove the backpack and let it air dry in a well-ventilated place.
[0005] The working principle of this invention is as follows: First, the control mechanism 4 operates as a cam-type intermittent motion mechanism, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the cylindrical component 10 has several sleeves that can rotate around axis 9. The inner wall of each sleeve has small cylindrical protrusions that fit into grooves in component 11. As component 11 moves linearly along axis 9, the grooves in component 11 cause the small cylinders on the sleeves to move, thereby causing the sleeves on several components 10 to rotate intermittently around axis 9. This allows the rods of several components 3 to open sequentially. Secondly, the working principle of component 7 is based on a lever principle, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the fulcrum of the lever is on the upper horizontal bar, so the lower lever arm is longer and the upper lever arm is shorter. When a person pulls the belt at the lower end to move the lever, a smaller force can be used to move the upper part of the lever to push the component 11 to make a linear motion.
