Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of umbrella frame manufacturing technology, specifically to an extended umbrella frame and an umbrella having the frame. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional umbrellas have the following shortcomings:

[0003] Traditional umbrellas often have a problem where the tail ribs tend to flip upwards when opened, affecting the user experience.

[0004] When some umbrellas are closed, the ends of the umbrella ribs often droop naturally, and rainwater on the outer layer of the umbrella fabric will drip directly due to gravity, causing users to wet their clothes, bags, or the ground when carrying them. This is especially problematic in indoor or car settings, as the umbrellas lack effective rainwater containment design.

[0005] Some traditional umbrellas have a single connecting frame and lack auxiliary support or elastic cushioning components. Under conditions of uneven force when the umbrella is opened, strong wind impact, or improper closing operation, the umbrella frame is prone to outward flipping, deformation, or even breakage, affecting its service life and safety.

[0006] Traditional umbrella ribs are all the same length, which is limited in certain special usage scenarios, such as backpacks, as they cannot completely cover the area, resulting in the backpack getting wet. Improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0033] Referring to the illustrations, this utility model discloses an extended umbrella frame, the technical effects of which are achieved through the following specific embodiments:

[0034] According to one embodiment of an extended umbrella frame, it includes a center rod 1, an upper head 2, a lower head 3, and several rib groups. The center rod 1 is shaft-connected to the upper head 2 and the lower head 3. The rib groups include several first ribs 4 that are laterally and evenly connected to the upper head 2. Several second ribs 5 are laterally and evenly connected to the lower head 3. Generally, the number of rib groups is 6 or more, and in this embodiment, it is 8. Two third ribs 6 are connected between the second rib 5 and the fourth rib 7 in two adjacent rib groups. That is, the two groups are extended by a section of third rib 6. After connecting the umbrella fabric, the area of ​​these two adjacent rib groups is expanded, which can increase the coverage area, such as covering backpacks and other items during outdoor activities.

[0035] Each umbrella rib is distributed around the upper head 2 and the lower head 3. One connection method is that the upper head 2 has a concave first circumferential groove 21, and a first connecting wire 22 is provided around the first circumferential groove 21 for the first umbrella rib 4 to pass through and connect to fix the first umbrella rib 4; the lower head 3 has a concave second circumferential groove 31, and a second connecting wire 32 is provided around the second circumferential groove 31 for the second umbrella rib 5 to pass through and connect to fix the second umbrella rib 5; the first connecting wire 22 and the second connecting wire 32 are mainly made of aluminum alloy; the connection method of the extended adjacent umbrella rib groups is opposite to that of the upper head 2 and the lower head 3, that is, the second umbrella rib 5 in the two adjacent umbrella rib groups are laterally movable and connected to the upper head 2, and the first umbrella rib 4 in the two adjacent umbrella rib groups are laterally movable and connected to the lower head 3.

[0036] Then they are connected sequentially. Specifically, several second umbrella ribs 5 are movably connected to the middle of the first umbrella ribs 4. Referring to the schematic diagram, in the three-fold umbrella rib group, the first umbrella rib 4 is located above the second umbrella ribs 5. The connection between the two is pivotal, and in this embodiment, it is a rivet method. The first umbrella rib 4 can rotate on the second umbrella rib 5. When the umbrella frame is closed, the two come close together to achieve upward closing. In the two sets of extended four-fold umbrella rib groups, the first umbrella rib 4 is located below the second umbrella rib 5, and the other methods are the same.

[0037] Sequentially, several third umbrella ribs 6 are movably connected to the outer ends of several second umbrella ribs 5, and several fourth umbrella ribs 7 are movably connected to the outer ends of several third umbrella ribs 6. Their connection method also employs a pivot, but in this embodiment, it is a rivet method. This structure allows for closure. The second umbrella ribs 5 and fourth umbrella ribs 7 located below the third umbrella ribs 6 are connected at both ends by first pulling wires 8, and the second umbrella ribs 5 and third umbrella ribs 6 are connected at both ends by second pulling wires 9. A spring 10 is connected to the outer end of the second umbrella rib 5 located below the second pulling wire 9 and the outer end of the first umbrella rib 4. The first pulling wires 8 and second pulling wires 9, in addition to their stabilizing function... In addition, it also plays a synergistic role in opening the umbrella frame. When the first umbrella rib 4 and the second umbrella rib 5 are separated, the spring 10 has a closing force above, while the third umbrella rib 6 is located above and has a tendency to tilt to the lower left. At the same time, through the pull wire 8, the third umbrella rib 6 has a pulling force opposite to the closing force. Then, the fourth umbrella rib 7, when connected to the umbrella fabric, has a pulling force opposite to the pulling force. Thus, the entire umbrella frame is taut, and when closed, rainwater is trapped, preventing clothes from getting wet. The structure is stable, preventing it from turning outward and increasing its service life. In the two sets of extended four-fold umbrella ribs, more area can be covered, such as backpacks.

[0038] In a further embodiment, the ends of the second umbrella rib 5 and the third umbrella rib 6 are connected by a first connector 11. The first connector 11 includes a connecting sleeve 111 connected to the third umbrella rib 6 on one side. The connection between the connecting sleeve 111 and the third umbrella rib 6 can be an interference fit or glued. The first connector 11 also includes a pair of first connecting ears 112 connected to the second drawing wire 9 on the other side. The first connector 11 also includes a pair of second connecting ears 113 located below the middle. A rivet for connecting the second umbrella rib 5 is connected between the pair of second connecting ears 113. The above technical effects are achieved by this connection method.

[0039] In a further embodiment, the outer end of the third umbrella rib 6 is connected to a second connector 12, and the inner end of the fourth umbrella rib 7 is connected to a third connector 13. The second connector 12 and the third connector 13 are movably connected, and the second connector 12 is located above the third connector 13. This movability is mainly achieved by providing a groove 131 on the third connector 13 for the rivets on the second connector 12 to slide, so that the third umbrella rib 6 and the fourth umbrella rib 7 can move during the unfolding and closing process. Without the space for movement of the groove 131, the third umbrella rib 6 and the fourth umbrella rib 7 would break during the movement.

[0040] In a further embodiment, the second connector 12 is provided with a first fitting groove 121 above for the fourth umbrella rib 7 to fit into, and a second fitting groove 122 below for the first pull wire 8 to fit into and a limiting block 123 to block the first pull wire 8. The first fitting groove 121 allows the fourth umbrella rib 7 to fit more closely to the third umbrella rib 6 when it is closed; the second fitting groove 122 and the limiting block 123 prevent the first pull wire 8 from shifting excessively when it is closed and unfolded, which would affect the durability of the umbrella.

[0041] In a further embodiment, the first connector 11 and the first umbrella rib 4 connecting the second drawing wire 9 are respectively provided with two or more first adjustment holes 114 and second adjustment holes 41, so that the length of the second drawing wire 9 can be adjusted according to the tightness.

[0042] Both the first drawing wire 8 and the second drawing wire 9 are elastic metal wires, such as aluminum alloys.

[0043] The outer end of the fourth umbrella rib 7 is provided with an umbrella bead 71, and the umbrella bead 71 is provided with a connecting hole 711 for connecting the umbrella fabric.

[0044] This utility model discloses an umbrella, including the umbrella frame and the umbrella cloth 72 connected to the umbrella frame. When the umbrella is closed, the rainwater is contained and will not wet clothes. The structure is stable and can prevent it from turning outward. In the two sets of extended four-fold umbrella ribs, more covering area is extended, such as covering backpacks.
