[0038] [2] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described, including embodiments other than those described above.

[0039] The umbrella support of the present invention is for supporting an umbrella in an upright position, and has an upwardly opening hole-like portion, a downwardly opening fitting support hole portion, and a front side upward support portion at a position other than the fitting support hole portion in the hole-like portion.

[0040] (1) The umbrella support having an upper opening hole-like portion may have, for example, a vertical axis at the upper portion of the upper opening hole-like portion, which is above the fitting support hole portion, the front side upward support portion, and any other upward support portion that may be provided. In addition, the umbrella support preferably has a vertical shape on the back side (vertical plane, vertical plane with a recess), but is not limited thereto.

[0041] The umbrella support having an upper opening hole-like portion is, for example, The rear side of the door is supported by a rear support object such as a front door in a state where the rear side is in contact with the vertical surface on the inside of the front door or other vertical surface or other location. It can be used by being placed on a horizontal surface such as an entrance hall with its lower part supported.

[0042] In the case where the rear side support object is made of a material capable of being magnetically attracted, such as an iron-based material, a permanent magnet part can be provided on the rear side of the umbrella support so that the rear side of the umbrella support can be used in a state where it is supported by magnetic attraction to the rear side support object. The permanent magnet part can be, for example, a plate-shaped or sheet-shaped permanent magnet body, but is not limited thereto.

[0043] It is also possible to provide a suction cup portion (e.g., made of a rubber-like material or synthetic resin) on the rear side of the umbrella support that can be attached to a rear-side supported object, so that the rear side of the umbrella support can be used in a state where it is attached to the rear-side supported object; to provide a portion on the rear side of the umbrella support that can be adhered to or bonded to a rear-side supported object, so that the rear side of the umbrella support can be used in a state where it is adhered to or bonded to a rear-side supported object; or to use the umbrella support in a state where it is hung from a hook or the like provided on the supported object, with the rear side of the umbrella support in contact with a front door or other supported object.

[0044] The umbrella support preferably has one hole-like portion at the upper opening, but may have two or more holes-like portions spaced apart as required.

[0045] (2) The umbrellas that the umbrella support supports are primarily umbrellas that have ribs to which the umbrella cloth is attached that open and close, such as long umbrellas, especially Western-style umbrellas.

[0046] In addition, the state of the umbrella supported by the umbrella support is not an open umbrella in which the ribs are opened and the umbrella cloth is stretched and spread out for use, but a closed umbrella.

[0047] As a closed umbrella, A closed umbrella in which a string or band is wound around the outer periphery of the umbrella cloth in a part of the axial direction of the umbrella, or the umbrella cloth is inserted into the umbrella bag, so that the umbrella ribs are close to or in contact with the umbrella shaft, and the umbrella cloth is also wound around the umbrella ribs. There is no string or band wrapped around the outer periphery of the umbrella cloth, and the umbrella ribs are naturally separated from the umbrella shaft, and the umbrella cloth is in a free closed state with the umbrella ribs naturally spreading outward from the umbrella ribs without being wrapped around them.

[0048] (3) Of the hole-shaped portions of the upper opening, the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the portion above the fitting support hole portion, the front-side upward support portion, and any other upward support portions that may be present is preferably a shape whose dimension in the front-to-back direction is longer than its dimension in the left-to-right direction, and may be, for example, an elliptical shape (preferably an elliptical shape whose major axis is in the front-to-back direction), or a rounded rectangular shape (preferably a rounded rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction is in the front-to-back direction), a circle, a polygonal shape (preferably a polygonal shape whose dimension in the front-to-back direction is longer than its dimension in the left-to-right direction), etc. The horizontal cross-sectional shape may be constant about a vertical axis (such as a vertical elliptical cylinder, a vertical circular cylinder, a vertical polygonal cylinder, etc.), but is not limited to these.

[0049] It is preferable that the upper end of the hole-like portion of the upper opening is lower on the front side than on the other side, or is inclined downward toward the front side, but this is not limited to this.

[0050] It is preferable that the upper opening edge of the hole be curved outwardly and upwardly (preferably around the entire circumference) in order to prevent damage to the umbrella cloth, etc. when the umbrella is inserted or removed from the hole.

[0051] (4) The fitting support hole is located in the lower part of the hole-shaped portion and opens upward. The fitting support hole is preferably located on the front side of the hole-shaped portion, but is not necessarily required to be located on the front side.

[0052] When the tip of a closed umbrella is fitted downward into the fitting support hole, the umbrella can be supported upright (e.g., supported upright) by the fitting support hole. The tip of a closed umbrella that is fitted downward into the fitting support hole is, for example, the tip of the center pole, the part covered by the tip of the center pole and the tip of the umbrella cloth, or the part covered by the tip of the umbrella cloth when the center pole does not protrude beyond the tip of the umbrella cloth.

[0053] The upper opening fitting support hole portion may be, for example, approximately truncated cone-shaped with a vertical axis whose inner diameter gradually decreases toward the bottom, but is not limited to this and may also be, for example, cylindrical, elliptical cylindrical, polygonal cylindrical, etc.

[0054] The fitting support hole portion may be one that does not have holes through which water can leak, but may also have holes such as drainage holes that do not affect the support of the umbrella.

[0055] (5) The front side upward support portion is intended to support the tip of the umbrella upward and toward the front side at a position other than the fitting support hole portion in the hole-shaped portion.

[0056] The front-side upward support portion can be provided, for example, at a position above the upper edge of the fitting support hole portion, but is not necessarily limited to this. For example, it is not prohibited to provide the front-side upward support portion in a recess recessed below the upper edge portion or in another portion separated from the fitting support hole portion.

[0057] When the tip of a closed umbrella, with its umbrella cloth and umbrella ribs in a free or not free state, is supported upward and toward the front by the front upward support part, and a predetermined position on the umbrella closer to the base end than the tip (upward toward the handle or grip, for example, a position three-fifths of the umbrella cloth's base side or further toward the tip) is supported toward the rear by the upper edge of the front side of the hole-shaped part, the umbrella will be tilted toward the front and supported in a state where the part closer to the base end than the predetermined position (for the umbrella cloth, for example, a part that is three-fifths or more of the base side) is exposed above the hole-shaped part. Note that the position of the upper edge of the front side of the hole-shaped part of an umbrella supported upright by the fitting support hole part is generally closer to the base end than the predetermined position.

[0058] In the case of a closed umbrella in which the umbrella cloth and ribs are in a free state, the umbrella cloth can naturally spread outward from the ribs without being wrapped around them, and is supported in a state in which the part closer to the base end than the specified position is exposed above the hole-like part at an angle toward the front side, which is effective for drying wet umbrella cloth. It is also possible to dry the umbrella cloth without wetting the support object on the back side, such as the inside surface of a front door.

[0059] In order to support the umbrella in a state inclined toward the front side, it is preferable that the front side upward support portion is located on the rear side of the fitting support hole portion.

[0060] If the umbrella support has two or more hole-like portions spaced at a required distance, it is desirable to provide the required distance in each hole so that the drying of the umbrella cloth of each umbrella is not hindered when the closed umbrella is tilted toward the front with the umbrella cloth and ribs in a free state.

[0061] (6) The umbrella support of the present invention may also have a folding umbrella support portion for supporting upward at least a portion of the tip end portion of the folding umbrella in a folded state, the support portion being located above the upper edge portion of the fitting support hole portion in the hole-shaped portion and the front side upward support portion.

[0062] When the umbrella is not supported upright by the fitting support hole portion and is not supported by the front upward support portion, a folding umbrella in a folded state (therefore, having a larger outer circumference than the portion of a long umbrella, which is a general umbrella, that is located within the hole-shaped portion when supported upright by the fitting support hole portion or supported by the front upward support portion as described above) can be inserted downward into the hole-shaped portion from the upper opening, so that at least a part of the tip side portion of the folding umbrella in the folded state is supported upward by the folding umbrella support portion, and the folding umbrella can be supported in an upright state by the hole-shaped portion.
