Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to an umbrella. Background Technology

[0002] As everyday protective gear, umbrellas often need to be temporarily secured to backpacks, tents, and other supports in outdoor settings to free up the user's hands. To address this, umbrellas with a flexible, shaped tube attached to the handle have been introduced to the market. By bending the tube, it can be used as a loop to connect the umbrella to the backpack.

[0003] However, the shaping hose is not suitable for everyday umbrella use, as it only increases the load. The shaping hose of this type of umbrella is usually fixed to the handle and cannot be disassembled. Existing umbrellas of this type are not convenient for switching freely between outdoor and everyday use modes. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides an umbrella that solves the problem that the shaping hose and handle of the umbrella in the prior art are usually fixedly connected and cannot be disassembled, which makes it inconvenient to freely switch between outdoor and daily use modes.

[0005] To achieve one or more of the above objectives or other objectives, this utility model proposes an umbrella, comprising an umbrella pole, umbrella ribs, umbrella canopy, umbrella handle, and a shaped hose covered with a soft layer, all connected to each other. The end of the shaped hose is fixed with a threaded post, and the bottom end of the umbrella handle is provided with a threaded hole for screwing the threaded post.

[0006] Preferably, the threaded hole is divided by a horizontal plane perpendicular to its axis into a threaded section with internal threads on the sidewall and a sliding section with smooth sidewalls. The threaded post is correspondingly divided into a threaded portion with external threads and a sliding portion with smooth sidewalls. When the threaded portion is threadedly connected to the threaded section, the sliding portion will be synchronously slidably connected within the sliding section.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom end of the shaping hose is fixed with a C-shaped retaining ring, which can be snapped onto the umbrella handle.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the umbrella handle has an annular groove along its periphery, and the retaining ring can be engaged in the groove.

[0009] Preferably, the soft layer is made of silicone.

[0010] Preferably, the umbrella further includes a metal sleeve, and the umbrella handle has a mounting cavity that opens to its bottom end. The sleeve is fixedly fitted into the mounting cavity, and the inner cavity of the sleeve forms a threaded hole.

[0011] Implementing the embodiments of this utility model will have the following beneficial effects:

[0012] After adopting the above-mentioned umbrella, in specific umbrella usage scenarios, such as outdoor use, the shaping hose can be connected to the bottom of the umbrella handle by screwing the threaded post and threaded hole. This allows the shaping hose to be wrapped around limbs or any object, achieving the effect of freeing up the hands to use the umbrella or freely hanging the umbrella. In general umbrella usage scenarios, such as daily use, the shaping hose can be reversed, the connection between the threaded post and threaded hole can be released, and the shaping hose can be removed, allowing the umbrella to return to its normal shape and be used as a regular umbrella. This allows the umbrella to be freely switched between outdoor and daily use modes, reducing the burden of daily umbrella use and improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains; the terminology used herein in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0021] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an umbrella includes an umbrella pole 1, umbrella ribs 2, umbrella canopy 3, umbrella handle 4, and a flexible shaping tube 5 covered with a soft layer, all connected to each other. A threaded post 6 is fixed to the end of the flexible shaping tube 5. A threaded hole 71 is provided at the bottom of the umbrella handle 4 for the threaded post 6 to be screwed into. In specific umbrella usage scenarios, such as outdoor use, the flexible shaping tube 5 can be screwed into the threaded hole 71 to connect to the bottom of the umbrella handle 4. This allows the flexible shaping tube 5 to be wrapped around limbs or any object, freeing up the hands for umbrella use or allowing for free hanging of the umbrella. In general umbrella usage scenarios, such as daily use, the flexible shaping tube 5 can be reversed to disconnect the threaded post 6 from the threaded hole 71, allowing the flexible shaping tube 5 to be removed and the umbrella to return to its normal form for use as a regular umbrella. This allows the umbrella to be freely switched between outdoor and daily use modes, reducing the burden of daily umbrella use and improving the user experience.

[0024] Furthermore, the threaded hole 71 is divided by a horizontal plane perpendicular to its axis into a threaded section 711 with internal threads on the sidewall and a sliding section 712 with smooth sidewalls. Correspondingly, the threaded post 6 is divided into a threaded portion 61 with external threads and a sliding portion 62 with smooth sidewalls. When the threaded portion 61 is threadedly connected to the threaded section 711, the sliding portion 62 will be synchronously slidably connected within the sliding section 712. Threaded connection is a detachable connection scheme with advantages such as simple structure and reliable connection. When the pitch is constant, the length of the threaded post 6 is proportional to its disassembly difficulty. However, if the length of the threaded post 6 is reduced to facilitate disassembly, it is easy to cause insufficient connection strength between the shaping hose 5 and the umbrella handle 4. However, by adopting the scheme of this embodiment, the connection strength between the shaping hose 5 and the umbrella handle 4 can be improved by connecting the sliding portion 62 with the sliding section 712, while reducing the number of threads on the threaded post 6, thus taking into account both connection strength and ease of disassembly.

[0025] Furthermore, a C-shaped retaining ring 8 is fixed at the bottom end of the shaping hose 5. The retaining ring 8 can be made of metal or plastic with a certain degree of elasticity. When the user needs to bend the shaping hose 5 into a closed loop structure to fit an object, the user can bend the shaping hose 5 so that its movable end is close to the umbrella handle 4 and the retaining ring 8 is engaged with the umbrella handle 4, thereby restricting the movement of the movable end of the shaping hose 5 so that the shaping hose 5 can remain in an enclosed state.

[0026] Furthermore, an annular groove 41 is provided at the bottom end of the umbrella handle 4 along its periphery, and the retaining ring 8 can be engaged in the groove 41 to restrict the movement of the movable end of the shaping hose 5 in the axial direction of the umbrella handle 4, so as to make the connection between the movable end of the shaping hose 5 and the umbrella handle 4 more stable.

[0027] Furthermore, the soft layer is made of silicone to make the surface of the shaping tube 5 more skin-friendly and improve the comfort of use.

[0028] Furthermore, the umbrella also includes a metal sleeve 7, and the umbrella handle 4 has an installation cavity 42 that opens to its bottom end. The sleeve 7 is fixedly fitted into the installation cavity 42, and the inner cavity of the sleeve 7 forms a threaded hole 71, thereby allowing the umbrella handle 4 to be produced separately. The sleeve 7 serves as a rigid component for connecting the umbrella handle 4 and the shaping hose 5, which improves economic efficiency while ensuring connection strength.

[0029] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The accompanying drawings show preferred embodiments of this utility model, but do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. This utility model can be implemented in many different forms; rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
