Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of daily necessities technology, specifically a novel folding fan with a bidirectional opening function. Background Technology

[0002] In existing folding paper fans, when the fan is opened with the right hand, the right thumb can press on the left side A of the rightmost fan rib to keep the fan fully open. However, when the fan is used with the left hand, the leftmost fan rib is located at the very back when the fan is open, and there is no suitable position for the left thumb to press along the opening direction of the fan, so the fan cannot be fully opened, which affects the normal use of the left hand. However, in daily life, the left hand is frequently used. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel folding fan with a bidirectional opening function, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the above objective is: a novel folding fan with a bidirectional opening function, comprising multiple fan ribs stacked sequentially from left to right, the tail ends of the fan ribs being rotatably connected by pins, and a fan surface being connected between the fan ribs, characterized in that: the fan ribs located in the fan surface are simultaneously connected as one unit by a line, and the fan ribs in the middle extend downward to form a handle; The second and third fan ribs on the left are short fan ribs and are clamped together in the fan surface, so that when the fan is opened, the first and fourth fan ribs on the left form a triangular opening that a thumb can fit through.

[0005] Furthermore, the fan has 14 ribs.

[0006] Furthermore, a reinforcing bamboo strip is attached to the right side of the lower part of the leftmost fan rib. The thickness of the reinforcing bamboo strip is less than the gap between the first and fourth fan ribs on the left when the fan is closed.

[0007] Furthermore, a bamboo segment is fixedly installed on the lower part of the front side of the leftmost fan rib. The bamboo segment is located below the fan surface and protrudes to the right at the top to form a pressing part on the adjacent fan rib.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When used with either hand, this invention has a part that is easy for the thumb to press, so that the fan surface is kept fully open. This makes the folding fan of this invention as comfortable to use with the left hand as it is with the right hand. This makes the fan more ergonomic, improves the efficiency of the folding fan, facilitates the promotion of the fan, and achieves the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction. It also optimizes the function of the traditional palace fan. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation Example 1

[0010] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel folding fan with a bidirectional opening function, including multiple fan ribs 1 stacked sequentially from left to right. The tail ends of the fan ribs 1 are rotatably connected by pins 2. A fan surface 3 is connected between the fan ribs 1. A bamboo segment 4 is fixedly provided at the lower part of the leftmost fan rib 1. The bamboo segment 4 is located below the fan surface 3 and its upper part protrudes to the right along the thickness direction to form a pressing part 5. The pressing part 5 facilitates the left thumb to press along the fan opening direction and corresponds to the position of the left thumb when the left hand is in use. This makes it easy for both the left and right hands to press the folding fan, making it easy to control the fan surface to be in a fully open state. Example 2

[0011] The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that: Figure 4 As shown, based on the first embodiment, the number of fan ribs is 14. The second and third fan ribs 1 on the left are set as short fan ribs, and their length is not greater than the side length B of the arc-shaped fan surface 3. The second and third fan ribs 1 are respectively clamped in the fan surface 3, so that when the fan is opened, the first fan rib 1 and the fourth fan rib 1 on the left form a triangular opening 6 that a thumb can insert into, so that the right side C of the leftmost fan rib 1 when the folding fan is in the open state can also be used as a pressing part. Example 3

[0012] The difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that: Figure 5-6As shown, based on the second embodiment, a reinforcing connecting bamboo strip 8 located below the fan surface 3 is connected to the right side surface of the lower part of the leftmost fan rib 1. The thickness of the reinforcing connecting bamboo strip 8 is less than the gap between the first and fourth fan ribs 1 on the left side when the fan is closed. The pressing part 5 protrudes to the right from the reinforcing connecting bamboo strip 8. Example 4

[0013] like Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses a novel folding fan with a bidirectional opening function, including multiple fan ribs 1 stacked sequentially from left to right. The tail ends of the fan ribs 1 are rotatably connected by pins 2, and fan surfaces 3 are connected between the fan ribs 1. The second and third fan ribs 1 on the left are short fan ribs, and their length is not greater than the side length B of the arc-shaped fan surface 3. The second and third fan ribs 1 are respectively clamped in the fan surface 3, so that when the fan is opened, the first and fourth fan ribs on the left form a triangular opening that a thumb can insert into, and the right side C of the leftmost fan rib 1 when the folding fan is in the open state forms a pressing part. Example 5

[0014] The difference between the fifth embodiment and the fourth embodiment is as follows: Figure 8-9 As shown, based on the fourth embodiment, a reinforcing bamboo strip 8 located below the fan surface 3 is connected to the right side surface of the lower part of the leftmost fan rib 1. The thickness of the reinforcing bamboo strip 8 is less than the gap between the first and fourth fan ribs 1 on the left side when the folding fan is closed. Example 6

[0015] The sixth embodiment differs from the first to fifth embodiments in that: Figure 10 As shown, based on the first to fifth embodiments, the fan ribs 1 located in the fan surface are connected as one unit by a line 10. The length of the line 10 is consistent with the curvature of the fan surface in the unfolded state and is clamped within the fan surface 3. Example 7

[0016] The seventh embodiment differs from the first to sixth embodiments in that: Figure 1 , 4 As shown in 5, 7, 8, and 10, based on the first to sixth embodiments, in this embodiment, the fan rib 1 located in the middle is provided with an extension section that extends downward as a handle 9.
