Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a cup / umbrella holder for a table that can be detachably attached to the top of a table (desk) in a store, school, etc. [Background technology]
[0002] As a prior art, there is an umbrella support characterized by having a support shaft with a hook on a support pole, a mounting plate attached to the support pole inside the car, and a drip cup for catching drops from the umbrella. (See Patent Document 1)
[0003] In a conventional technique, the front and rear mounting hooks of the wire-mounted umbrella fitting are attached to both the front and rear of the leg pillar so that the umbrella storage section can be rotated from a nearly horizontal in-use position to the side of the top board to a downward-hanging unused position (see Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-199479 [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-247060 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] The former is a support for an umbrella that is attached inside a car, and is not something that can be attached to a table top, nor can it be used to place a cup or glass on. The latter is an umbrella stand attached to a table, but it cannot support an umbrella horizontally, and cannot hold glasses or cups.
[0006] The present invention seeks to solve the problems associated with such conventional configurations, and aims to provide a cup / umbrella holder for a table that can be attached detachably to the table top, can hold an umbrella both vertically and horizontally, and can also hold cups and glassware. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a clip body that is detachably attached to the table top, with a lower insertion hole for inserting a cup and / or umbrella vertically, and support plates on both sides of the lower support plate with support holes for supporting a downwardly protruding umbrella horizontally; or an upper insertion hole for inserting a cup and / or umbrella is provided on the upper support plate of the clip body, and further, the upper insertion hole has a larger diameter than the lower insertion hole, and further, the lower insertion hole can be used simultaneously with the upper insertion hole. [Effects of the Invention]
[0008] 1) It can be attached to the top of a table (desk) or the like using a clip in a detachable manner. 2) By providing a lower insertion hole in the lower plate of the clip body, an umbrella can be inserted vertically to support it, and a cup can also be inserted and placed therein. 3) The umbrella can be inserted sideways into the support hole in the support plate to support it. 4) By providing a large diameter upper insertion hole and a small diameter lower insertion hole in the upper receiving plate of the clip body, it is possible to place a coffee cup or the like.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] The cup / umbrella holder for a table according to the first embodiment will now be described. 1 is a cup and umbrella holder for tables. Reference numeral 2 denotes a clip body, which is composed of an upper support plate 3 and a lower support plate 4, and the lower support plate 4 is provided with a lower insertion hole 4a for inserting a cup and / or umbrella. Reference numeral 5 denotes a support plate having support holes 5a drilled on both sides of the lower support plate 4 to laterally support the downwardly protruding umbrella (see Figures 1, 2, and 3).
[0011] An example of how to use this table cup / umbrella holder 1 will be described. For example, on a table top TB of an office desk, a school desk, a restaurant table T, or the like, a clip body 2 is clamped at the base by opening an upper receiving plate 3 and a lower receiving plate 4.
[0012] Next, a cup KP containing a drink can be detachably inserted into the lower insertion hole 4a and used for drinking. Depending on the size of the cup KP, the support hole 5a will not be blocked and the umbrella can be inserted from the side (see Figure 4).
[0013] Also, instead of the cup KP, an umbrella KS1 is inserted into the lower insertion hole 4a from above and made to stand upright (see Figure 5).
[0014] Next, another example of use will be described. The umbrella KS2 is inserted laterally into the support holes 5a, 5a of the support plates 5, 5 provided on the lower support plate 4 of the table cup / umbrella holder 1 and supported (see Figure 6).
[0015] A second embodiment of the table cup / umbrella holder will now be described. The table cup / umbrella mount 21 has a clip body 22, a lower support plate 24, a lower insertion hole 24a, a support plate 25, and a support hole 25a similar to those of the first embodiment, and also has an upper support plate 23 that is extended to have approximately the same length as the lower support plate 24 and has an upper insertion hole 23a with a larger diameter than the lower insertion hole 24a (see Figures 7 and 8).
[0016] An example of how this table cup / umbrella holder 21 can be used will now be described. The attachment is the same as in the first embodiment, with the upper receiving plate 23 and the lower receiving plate 24 of the clip body 22 being opened and clamped to the top plate TB of the table T. Thereafter, a coffee cup KC, for example, can be inserted into the upper insertion hole 23a and placed therein in a removable manner (see FIG. 9).
[0017] In each of the above embodiments, the material and size of each member are not particularly limited. The attachment location is mainly the top of a table, but is not particularly limited as long as it can be attached to a location where the clip body can be attached (such as the armrest of a chair). Furthermore, by extending the support plate downward, multiple support holes can be provided to support multiple umbrellas. [Explanation of symbols]
