Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of umbrella technology, and in particular to an umbrella that is easy to roll up and store. Background Technology

[0002] Umbrellas, as indispensable daily necessities for rain protection on rainy days and sun protection on sunny days, occupy an extremely important position in people's lives. With the increasingly fast pace of modern life and the diversification of travel methods, people's practical needs for umbrellas are also constantly rising. However, traditional folding umbrellas, due to their specific folding structure, tend to become messy and disorganized during the rolling process, causing many inconveniences for storage and requiring time to adjust the creases to ensure neatness. If rolled up directly without proper preparation, the folding umbrella will look unsightly and unkempt; and during storage, the expansion of the umbrella body often makes it difficult to fasten (or glue) the straps, undoubtedly leading to a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides an umbrella that is easy to roll up and store. This design effectively solves the problem that it is difficult to roll up the umbrella after use, which affects the user experience.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The present invention includes an umbrella canopy, with folding umbrella ribs supporting the canopy connected inside the canopy, and an umbrella handle connected below the folding umbrella ribs. The outer surface of the umbrella canopy is divided into multiple roll-up areas by the folding umbrella ribs, and an elastic drawstring is fixedly connected to the middle of each roll-up area. The front and back of the elastic drawstring are fixedly connected with buckles, and after the umbrella is folded up, the elastic drawstring is wrapped around the outer perimeter of the umbrella canopy through the buckles.

[0005] Preferably, the width of the elastic band is not less than 6cm.

[0006] Preferably, the elastic gathering strap includes a connecting end and a movable end, the fastener is a Velcro, the front of the connecting end is fixedly connected with the hook side of the Velcro, and the back of the movable end is fixedly connected with the fleece side of the Velcro.

[0007] Preferably, the movable end is fixedly connected to a rigid plate.

[0008] Preferably, a telescopic umbrella pole is fixedly connected between the umbrella ribs and the umbrella handle.

[0009] The outstanding advantages of this utility model compared with existing technologies are:

[0010] This invention improves the wrapping effect of the elastic drawstring by widening it, thus preventing the umbrella from curling outwards and allowing the umbrella to be rolled up quickly and neatly. The use of elastic material for the drawstring also increases the clamping space, facilitating the rolling process. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Please see the appendix Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides an umbrella that is easy to roll up and store: it includes an umbrella canopy 4, a folding umbrella rib 1 that supports the umbrella canopy 4 is connected inside the umbrella canopy 4, an umbrella handle 2 is connected below the folding umbrella rib 1, the outside of the umbrella canopy 4 is divided into multiple rolling areas 5 by the folding umbrella rib 1, an elastic gathering strap 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rolling area 5, and the front and back of the elastic gathering strap 3 are fixedly connected to the fasteners 6. After the umbrella is folded up, the elastic gathering strap 3 is wrapped around the outside of the umbrella canopy 4 through the fasteners 6.

[0020] The structure of the umbrella canopy 4, folding ribs 1, and handle 2 is the same as that of existing folding umbrellas. The folding ribs 1 have multiple folding struts distributed at equal angles, which distribute the umbrella canopy 4 into multiple different rolling zones 5. When the umbrella is rolled up, these rolled-up sections of the umbrella canopy 4 are rolled up together. However, the existing elastic drawstring 3 is relatively short. To roll it up neatly, the umbrella canopy 4 in each rolling zone 5 must be arranged, which is too cumbersome. If only the elastic drawstring 3 is used for rolling, the umbrella canopy 4 on the upper and lower sides of the elastic drawstring 3 will curl outwards, affecting the overall aesthetics and storage. In this application, the width of the elastic drawstring 3 is widened, and the elastic drawstring 3 is made wider. The elastic drawstring 3 is sewn into the middle of the rolling area 5. The material of the elastic drawstring 3 is preferably elastic. When rolling up the umbrella, the elastic drawstring 3 wraps around the umbrella, fully covering the folded umbrella surface 4, thus achieving a quick and aesthetically pleasing roll-up effect. The elastic material of the elastic drawstring 3 can be adjusted according to needs to better cover the umbrella surface 4. The material of the elastic drawstring 3 is a commonly used elastic material, including silicone, nylon Lycra, spandex, elastic fiber fabric, natural fibers, and rubber elastic fabric.

[0021] After the elastic drawstring 3 is wrapped around the umbrella 4 once, it is connected by Velcro. The seam between the elastic drawstring 3 and the umbrella surface 4 is the connecting end 301. The front of the connecting end 301 is the hook side 601 of the Velcro. When rolling up, the back side of the connecting end 301 is placed against the umbrella surface 4 and rotated. After the elastic drawstring 3 has rotated once, the back side of the movable end 302 of the elastic drawstring 3 is facing the front side of the connecting end 301. The back side of the movable end 302 is the fleece side 602 of the Velcro. At this time, the fleece side 602 and the hook side 601 are glued together.

[0022] Furthermore, to facilitate control of the movable end 302 of the elastic drawstring 3, a rigid plate 7 is added to the end of the movable end 302, increasing the convenience for consumers to tear open the Velcro when opening the umbrella.

[0023] The elastic drawstring 3 is at least 6cm wide and its length is greater than the circumference of the umbrella body, ensuring that the elastic drawstring 3 fully wraps the folded umbrella surface 4 and can wrap around the umbrella body once. The telescopic umbrella rod 8 between the umbrella handle 2 and the folding umbrella rib 1 can improve the umbrella's folding performance and make it easy to carry.

[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
