Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of umbrellas, in particular to a tail bead for installing ribs on umbrellas. Background Art

[0002] Umbrellas, such as rain umbrellas, car umbrellas, beach umbrellas, etc., have multiple ribs on these umbrellas that can open or close the outer umbrella cloth. The ends of the ribs are generally fixed to the umbrella cloth in two ways.

[0003] The first fixing method is Figure 1 As shown, the umbrella 200' is provided with a plurality of ribs 202', the ribs 202' are covered with umbrella cloth 201', and the edge of the umbrella cloth 201' is provided with a edging 203'. Figure 1 The ends of the ribs 202' are generally arranged in a T-shape or a V-shape (not shown). The ends of the ribs 202' of this structure are relatively large, and a special fixing cloth 204' needs to be sewn on the umbrella cloth 201' to fix the ends of the ribs 202' to the umbrella cloth 201'. However, this fixing method requires many steps, uses a lot of materials, and is costly.

[0004] The second fixing method is Figure 2 As shown, the umbrella 200' is also provided with a plurality of ribs 202'. The ribs 202' are covered with umbrella cloth 201'. The edges of the umbrella cloth 201' are provided with edging 203'. Figure 2 The ends of the ribs 202' are directly inserted into the tail beads 100', which are then fixed to the umbrella fabric 201' or the edging 203' via a thread. This fixing method uses round-headed tail beads 100'. However, in the prior art, after the round-headed tail beads 100' are fixed to the umbrella fabric 201' or the edging 203', a round head is exposed. This exposed round head not only affects the appearance, but also has burrs on the round head, which is unsafe and can easily scratch people, especially children. Children can easily get injured if they are not careful when using umbrellas with round-headed tail beads.

[0005] Therefore, the existing technology needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

Therefore, features specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0035] The present utility model includes the following embodiments.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 3 and 4 This embodiment provides an umbrella tail bead 100, comprising a rod 10, one end of which is provided with an umbrella rib insertion opening 11, and an umbrella rib insertion hole 12 is provided in the rod 10 along the axial direction of the rod, the umbrella rib insertion hole 12 being connected to the umbrella rib insertion opening 11. Figure 4As shown, the rib 202 of the umbrella 200 is inserted into the rib insertion hole 12 from the rib insertion port 11 of the tail bead 100 to fix the end of the rib 202 in the rod portion 10 of the tail bead 100. Generally, the rib insertion hole 12 is tightly fitted with the rib 202.

[0037] The tail bead 100 of the umbrella also includes a flat handle 20, which is arranged at the end of the rod 10 away from the rib insertion port 11. The flat handle 20 can be inserted into the edge 203 on the umbrella cloth 201 of the umbrella 200 and hidden in the edge 203. Figure 4 As shown in FIG, the edge of the umbrella fabric 201 of the umbrella 200 generally needs to be hemmed 203, and the edge of the umbrella fabric 201 generally has a corner. Therefore, the hemming 203 is generally provided with a retracted angle 205 at the corner position of the umbrella fabric 201. The flat handle 20 of the tail bead 100 of this embodiment is precisely inserted into the retracted angle 205 of the hemming 203. The flat handle 20 is directly sewn, wrapped and fixed within the hemming 203 during the hemming 203 of the umbrella fabric 201. This allows the flat handle 20 of the tail bead 100 to be hidden within the hemming 203 and not to be exposed. In this way, after the tail bead 100 of this embodiment is attached to the umbrella 200, it does not protrude, which improves safety and prevents scratches caused by burrs on the exposed surface. It is particularly suitable for children's umbrellas.

[0038] Furthermore, because the tail bead 100 of the umbrella of this embodiment is directly inserted into and fixed to the ends of the ribs 202 through the stem 10, it is compatible with the installation and fixation of the ribs of most existing umbrellas 200. Furthermore, by providing a flat handle 20 at one end of the stem 10 and directly inserting and securing the flat handle 200 into the edging 203 of the umbrella fabric 201, the entire tail bead 100 is secured to the umbrella fabric 201. Thus, when the tail bead 100 of this embodiment is used in an umbrella 200, there is no need to install a special fixing cloth on the umbrella fabric 201 to secure the ends of the ribs, as is done in the prior art. This reduces material usage, process steps, and costs.

[0039] The tail bead 100 of this embodiment has a simple structure and can be quickly and conveniently sewn and fixed to the edge 203 of the umbrella cloth through the flat handle portion 20 .

[0040] Preferably, the length of the rib insertion hole 12 is more than 3 cm. In this way, when the rib 202 of the umbrella 200 is inserted into the rib insertion hole 12, there is a long wrapped length in the rib insertion hole 12, which makes it difficult for the rib 202 to fall out of the tail bead 100 during use. Specifically, in a three-fold umbrella, the length of the rib insertion hole 12 is generally 3 cm; and in a straight umbrella, the length of the rib insertion hole 12 is generally 4 cm, which can effectively prevent the rib from falling out. In the prior art, when using Figure 2In the case of the round tail bead 100 ′ shown in FIG, since the hole depth of the round tail bead 100 ′ is generally only about 2 cm, the rib 202 is easily dropped out of the round tail bead 100 ′ during use, thus affecting the use.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rod portion 10 and the flat handle portion 20 are an integrated structure.

[0042] Preferably, the stem 10 and flat handle 20 of this embodiment are both made of TPE soft rubber. This material allows the entire tail bead 100 to bend and adapt to being sewn and attached to the soft umbrella fabric 201, avoiding the stiff feel of conventional rounded tail beads made of plastic. Furthermore, the TPE soft rubber has a certain hardness that can be adjusted to provide support and stability for the ribs 202 of the umbrella 200. The TPE soft rubber also possesses a certain elasticity, allowing the ribs 202 to be securely plugged in.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rib insertion holes 12 include a first insertion hole 121 and a second insertion hole 122, which are sequentially connected. The end of the first insertion hole 121 facing away from the second insertion hole 122 is connected to the rib insertion opening 11. The diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is smaller than that of the first insertion hole 121. This stepped aperture design allows the end of the rib 202 to be inserted from the first insertion hole 121 into the second insertion hole 122, which has a smaller diameter. The wall material of the second insertion hole 122 deforms more significantly, securing the rib 202 more tightly. In other words, in this embodiment, after the rib 202 is inserted into the rib insertion hole 12, both the first insertion hole 121 and the second insertion hole 122 enclose the rib. Both insertion holes provide a wrapping force on the outer wall of the end of the rib 202, with the second insertion hole 122, due to its smaller diameter, providing a tighter wrapping force on the end of the rib 202.

[0044] As a method, the diameter of the first insertion hole 121 of this embodiment is 2.8-3.2 mm, and the diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 1.8-2.2 mm. This adapts to the insertion of most ribs currently on the market. Furthermore, the diameter of the first insertion hole 121 of this embodiment is 3 mm, and the diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 2 mm. The diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 1 mm smaller than that of the first insertion hole 121. This allows for better insertion and fastening of most umbrella rib ends.

[0045] Preferably, the length of the first insertion hole 121 of this embodiment is 4.3 to 4.7 cm, and the length of the second insertion hole 122 is 0.8 to 1.2 cm. The length of the first insertion hole 121 is 4.3 to 4.7 cm, which can completely prevent the rib 202 from falling out of the tail bead 100. Furthermore, the length of the first insertion hole 121 of this embodiment is 4.5 cm, and the length of the second insertion hole 122 is 1 cm.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 and the hemming 203 has a V-shaped or arc-shaped profile. The V-shaped or arc-shaped contact end 21 ensures that when the flat handle 20 is sewn to the hemming 203 of the umbrella 200 at the retraction angle 205, the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 has a relatively large contact surface with the hemming 203 on both sides of the retraction angle 205. This allows the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 to receive the reaction force from the hemming 203 on both sides, resulting in a balanced and uniform force on the flat handle 20. This allows the entire tail bead 100 to be securely and stably fixed to the umbrella fabric 201.

[0047] Preferably, the flat handle 20 is in the shape of a flat plate, and the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 and the hemming 203 includes a symmetrically arranged first contact portion 22 and a second contact portion 23. The flat plate shape facilitates insertion and sewing into the hemming 203. The symmetrically arranged first contact portion 22 and second contact portion 23 respectively abut and abut against the hemming 203 on both sides of the corner 205, so that the flat handle 20 is evenly stressed within the hemming 203 and does not deviate.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the flat handle portion 20 is a flat, curved plate comprising a first curved plate 24 and a second curved plate 25 symmetrically arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis 101 of the stem portion 10. The edge of the first curved plate 24 is provided with a first contact portion 22 that contacts the hemming 203, and the edge of the second curved plate 25 is provided with a second contact portion 23 that contacts the hemming 203. The symmetrical arrangement of the first and second curved plates 24, 25 ensures that, after the hemming 203 is incorporated into the entire curved flat handle portion 20, the hemming on both sides at the retraction angle 205 can effectively abut against the flat handle portion 20, resulting in a large contact area and good stability.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the stem 10 of this embodiment is further provided with a fixing ear 30, and the fixing ear 30 is provided with a suture hole 31 for sewing. The suture hole 31 can pass a thread through the suture hole 31, and then the fixing ear is fixed to the umbrella cloth 201, thereby fixing the stem 10 of the tail bead 100 to the umbrella cloth 201, which can further improve the firmness of the fixation between the tail bead 100 and the umbrella cloth 201.

[0050] The tail bead 100 of the umbrella of the present invention is provided with a rod portion 10 and a flat handle portion 20 connected to the rod portion 10. The rod portion 10 is used to insert the end of the umbrella rib 202, and the flat handle portion 20 is used to fix the entire tail bead 100 within the edge 203 of the umbrella cloth 201. Therefore, there is no exposed structure to prevent scratches on the user. There is no need to sew additional fixing cloth on the umbrella cloth 201 to install and fix the tail bead 100, which saves materials and reduces costs.

[0051] The above description is merely an example to clearly illustrate the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. It is impossible to list all implementation methods here. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the technical solution of the present invention under the concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
