Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an umbrella in which the folding umbrella body and the umbrella bag for storing the body are integrated. [Background technology]

[0002] When using an umbrella, it is common to separate the umbrella body and the umbrella bag. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Utility Model Application No. 03-093369

[0004] [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-34912

[0005] [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 7324968 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, in the proposal of Patent Document 1, the umbrella bag that is placed near the base of the umbrella is wet when the umbrella is in use because it is raining, and when the umbrella is closed and the umbrella bag is pulled up, both the umbrella body and the umbrella bag are wet. This poses the problem that the umbrella body and umbrella bag never dry enough to store the umbrella hygienically.

[0007] The proposal in Patent Document 2 did not state the basis for the idea that the umbrella bag would not fall out of the storage pocket and get lost.

[0008] The proposal in Patent Document 3 has problems such as the need to prepare a storage case and to invest in new equipment to install it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] To solve the above problems, the present invention has a structure in which the included umbrella bag is turned inside out and attached to the appropriate part of the umbrella fabric, as shown in Figure 1.

[0010] When the umbrella is being used during rainfall, the umbrella bag gets wet along with the umbrella fabric, but when the rain stops and the umbrella is drying, the umbrella bag also dries at the same time, and when the umbrella is folded up, the umbrella and umbrella bag are integrated into a folding umbrella that can be stored hygienically.

[0011] The umbrella bag is attached to the side of the umbrella fabric, so it will not get lost except in unexpected circumstances such as being torn off.

[0012] Since the umbrella bag that comes with the purchase of a typical existing folding umbrella is used, there is no need to invest in new equipment to manufacture this umbrella. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an umbrella in which the umbrella body and the umbrella bag body are integrated, so that the umbrella bag that comes with the folding umbrella will not be lost when purchased. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] This is a side view of the umbrella when it is open. [Figure 2] This is a side view of the umbrella before it is closed with the name band. [Figure 3] This is a side view of the umbrellas bundled together with the name band before being stored in the umbrella bag. [Figure 4] This is a side view of the umbrella bag when the opening is open and the umbrella body is stored in the bag. [Figure 5] This is a side view of the umbrella fabric and the inverted umbrella bag with a design. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Preferred embodiments for obtaining a folding umbrella according to the present invention will be described below. Note that the embodiments described below are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to the contents of the embodiments. Example 1

[0016] The umbrella body 1 refers to the entire umbrella, excluding the umbrella casing, such as the ribs and fabric.

[0017] The umbrella bag body 10 is a bag for storing a folding umbrella.

[0018] The name band 5 is a band that is attached to the umbrella fabric 2 to hold the umbrella body 1 together when closing the umbrella.

[0019] The umbrella bag body 10 is a bag that stores the umbrella body 1. There are no particular restrictions on the size of the umbrella bag body 10, but for example, the inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the umbrella body 1, and the length corresponds to the length of the umbrella body 1 in its folded state, that is, the length from the tip of the ferrule to the entire umbrella rib, excluding the handle 4, so that the umbrella body 1 in its folded state can be stored inside the umbrella bag body 10. There are no particular restrictions on the color, pattern, or design of the umbrella bag body 10. It may be the same as or different from the color, pattern, or design of the umbrella fabric 2 of the umbrella body 1.

[0020] The umbrella bag opening 11 is an opening of the umbrella bag body 10 and serves as an opening for putting in and taking out the umbrella body 1. As will be described later, the umbrella bag body 10 of the present invention is used by connecting it to the umbrella body 1.

[0021] FIG. 1 is an overall view of the folding umbrella of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic structure of the folding umbrella of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall view of the umbrella body 1 taken out of the umbrella bag body 10 and opened in a typical manner. The umbrella body 1 has the mechanisms and parts that are common to a well-known, general folding umbrella, and this is an overall view of the umbrella when opened in the usual manner.

[0022] The umbrella bag body 10 is turned inside out from the inside onto the outer side surface of the umbrella cloth 2 when the umbrella is opened, and the umbrella bag bottom 12 is connected to the umbrella cloth 2 on the ferrule 6 side when the umbrella is closed along the umbrella rib near the tip 7 on the right side of the umbrella cloth 2 to which the name band 5 is attached.

[0023] Specifically, as shown in the shaded area in Figure 1, the name band and umbrella bag are connected to the umbrella fabric at the point where the umbrella ribs bend near the tip 7 when the umbrella body 1 is closed.

[0024] FIG. 1 is an overall view of an umbrella body 1 in which an umbrella bag body 10 turned inside out from the inside is connected to the side of the outer umbrella fabric 2 when the umbrella is opened.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a view from the outside side of the umbrella body 10 when the bottom 12 of the umbrella body 10 is connected to an appropriate location on the umbrella fabric 2 and the umbrella body 1 is closed.

[0026] Figure 3 shows the bottom of the umbrella pouch 12 attached to the appropriate part of the umbrella fabric 2, the umbrella body 1 closed, and the whole thing tied together with the name band 5, as seen from the outside side.

[0027] The closed umbrella body 1, which has been inverted and connected to the umbrella bag body 10 as shown in Figure 4, is wrapped by turning the umbrella bag body 10 from the part on the ferrule 6 side back to its original state, and the umbrella body 1 is inserted into the umbrella bag body 10.

[0028] The umbrella bag body 10 and the umbrella body 1 of the present invention are characterized in that the umbrella bag body 10 and the umbrella body 1 do not separate after the user takes out the umbrella body 1.

[0029] While the umbrella is being used, the bottom 12 of the umbrella bag is connected to the outer umbrella fabric 2, and the umbrella bag body 10 is also turned inside out, so there is no problem with getting wet in the rain. Since the umbrella body 1 and the umbrella bag body 10 are both dried using the general method of drying an umbrella, both are dry when the umbrella is closed and stored, and the umbrella and umbrella bag can be stored hygienically. Example 2

[0030] One way to properly connect the umbrella body 1 and the umbrella bag body 10 is to sew the umbrella fabric 2 and the umbrella bag body 10 together. Example 3

[0031] One method for connecting the umbrella body 1 and the umbrella bag body 10 is to provide hook-and-loop fasteners at appropriate locations on the umbrella fabric 2 and the umbrella bag body 10. Example 4

[0032] As shown in Figure 5, the inverted umbrella bag body 10 connected to the appropriate part of the umbrella fabric 2 can be given a pattern, design or color on the inverted side of the umbrella bag body 10, for example, to provide a pattern or design that can be seen when the umbrella is held up. [Industrial Applicability]

[0033] Therefore, the present invention allows umbrellas to be stored hygienically with the same simple operation as opening and closing a conventional umbrella, there is no need to lose the umbrella bag that comes with the purchase of a folding umbrella, and it is possible to apply designs that are only visible when the umbrella is being held without any special capital investment, making it possible to implement industrial use as an extension of existing technology.
