[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a novel umbrella consisting of an umbrella canopy (not shown in the figure), an umbrella rod 3, and a handle connected in sequence. The handle includes at least one main handle section 1 and at least one handle extension section 2. The end of the umbrella rod 3 away from the umbrella canopy is provided with a threaded connector 4, and the main handle section 1 and the threaded connector 4 are detachably connected. The end of the main handle section 1 away from the threaded connector 4 is detachably connected to the handle extension section 2.
[0031] In this embodiment, when assembling the umbrella handle, the threaded connector 4 at the end of the umbrella rod 3 furthest from the canopy is first connected to the first end of the main handle section 1, and then the handle extension section 2 is connected to the main handle section 1. This increases the overall length of the handle. Compared to conventional folding umbrellas, this new type of umbrella is more practical due to its adjustable handle length, and users can flexibly adjust the handle length according to their hand size, thus enhancing user comfort when holding the handle. Furthermore, in windy conditions, users can increase their control over the umbrella by extending the handle length.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first end of the main handle section 1 has a first circular groove, and the inner wall of the first circular groove is provided with a first threaded groove 102. The end of the umbrella rod 3 away from the umbrella surface is provided with a threaded connector 4, which is adapted to the first threaded groove 102. The second end of the main handle section 1 is provided with a groove, and the top wall of the groove is provided with a threaded post 101. The threaded post 101 is coaxially arranged with the first circular groove, and the bottom surface of the threaded post 101 is lower than the lower surface of the main handle section 1. The threaded post 101 is adapted to the first threaded groove 102 in the first circular groove.
[0033] In this way, any two adjacent main sections 1 of the handle can be detachably connected, thereby achieving the purpose of flexibly adjusting the length of the handle.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the handle extension section 2 is provided with a second circular groove, and the inner wall of the second circular groove is provided with a second threaded groove 201. The threaded post 101 on the main handle section 1 is adapted to the second threaded groove 201, and the bottom surface of the handle extension section 2 is a plane. In this way, the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 are connected by threads to achieve installation and disassembly.
[0035] In some embodiments, the handle extension 2 is either a cylinder or a regular polyhedron, wherein the regular polyhedron includes a regular tetrahedron, a regular pentahedron, etc. Preferably, the handle extension 2 is a cylinder.
[0036] In some embodiments, the main handle segment 1 is either a cylinder or a regular polyhedron, wherein the regular polyhedron includes a regular tetrahedron, a regular pentahedron, etc. Preferably, the main handle segment 1 is a cylinder.
[0037] In some embodiments, the handle extension 2 and the handle main section 1 are each available in a variety of colors.
[0038] It should be noted that the handle extension section 2 of this new umbrella can be cylindrical, or it can be a regular tetrahedron, a regular pentahedron, a regular hexahedron, or a regular octahedron. The main handle section 1 can also be cylindrical, or it can be a regular tetrahedron, a regular pentahedron, a regular hexahedron, or a regular octahedron. When this new umbrella is sold, buyers can choose different colors and shapes of the handle extension section 2 and the main handle section 1 according to their personal aesthetic preferences.
[0039] To make it easier to understand, let's illustrate with an example. Suppose a buyer purchases this new umbrella and, based on personal aesthetics, chooses two pentagonal handle sections 1, one green and the other yellow. They also choose a blue, hexagonal handle extension section 2. The buyer then combines these two handle sections 1 and the handle extension section 2 to form the umbrella's handle.
[0040] In this way, users can freely assemble the handle according to their personal aesthetics, making the handle more in line with their personal taste and increasing the enjoyment of using it.
[0041] It should be noted that folding umbrellas usually have a threaded cap 5' at the top. The core function of the cap 5' is to cover and protect the sharp tip of the umbrella, preventing it from injuring people, damaging items, or puncturing the umbrella fabric. It also provides a certain degree of waterproof sealing. It is a small accessory that enhances the safety and durability of the umbrella.
[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the existing umbrella cap 5' includes a circular plate and a screw on the circular plate. In use, the screw of the umbrella cap 5' is screwed into the threaded hole at the top of the umbrella.
[0043] In this embodiment, the umbrella cap 5 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a threaded tube 501, a disc, and a screw 502 connected in sequence. The screw 502 is used to mate with a threaded hole in the top of the umbrella. The threaded tube 501 is adapted to the second threaded groove 201 of the handle extension section 2 mentioned above.
[0044] It should be explained that current folding umbrellas are difficult to place upright after being folded and stored, so they are usually placed horizontally on the table, taking up a large area.
[0045] After the new umbrella is folded and stored, the handle extension section 2 can be removed from the main handle section 1. Then, the handle extension section 2 can be threadedly connected to the threaded tube 501 of the umbrella cap 5. Then, the end of the umbrella located on the handle extension section 2 can be placed on the table so that the umbrella can be placed upright, reducing the floor space and making it convenient to place.
[0046] In some embodiments, the connection method between the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection, magnetic connection, and snap-fit connection.
[0047] In some embodiments, a magnetic block one is installed at the end of the main handle section 1 away from the umbrella rod 3, and a magnetic block two that attracts the magnetic block one is installed in the groove on the end face of the handle extension section 2.
[0048] In some embodiments, a paracord 6 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the handle extension 2 near its bottom end. It should be noted that the paracord 6 is not connected to the bottom surface of the handle extension 2, but is connected to the peripheral surface of the handle extension 2.
[0049] In this embodiment, the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 have the same length, preferably 5cm-8cm. As a specific embodiment, the length of both the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 is 5cm.
[0050] In this embodiment, the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 have the same diameter, preferably 6cm-8cm. As a specific embodiment, the diameter of both the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 is 8cm.
[0051] In some embodiments, the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 are made of the same material, namely hard plastic or stainless steel.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to prevent slipping, the outer peripheral surfaces of the main handle section 1 and the handle extension section 2 are provided with a mesh-like anti-slip texture.
[0053] In summary, users can choose different numbers of handle extension sections 2 and handle main sections 1 to combine according to their hand size, thereby flexibly adjusting the length of the umbrella handle and enhancing the user's comfort when holding the handle.
