[Figure 2]This is a three-dimensional exploded view of the umbrella handle of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is an exploded cross-sectional view of the umbrella handle of the present invention. [Figure 4] This is a cross-sectional view showing the position where the handle of the umbrella of the present invention is used. [Figure 5] This is a cross-sectional view showing the storage position of the umbrella handle according to the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0017] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, the umbrella handle of the present invention is applied to an umbrella 200, and the umbrella handle includes a sleeve 10 and a sliding member 20.

[0018] The sleeve 10 can be a hollow cylindrical shape, but is not limited to this, and is used for storing the umbrella 200, and is equipped with a first restricting portion 11 and a first engaging portion 12 at one end.

[0019] The sliding member 20 is connected to the umbrella 200 (for example, by welding or screws) and includes a stopper portion 21 and a second engaging portion 22. The sliding member 20 is slidably installed within the sleeve 10 and can move between a usage position P1 and a storage position P2 along the axial direction Z of the sleeve 10.

[0020] When the user pulls the umbrella 200 out of the sleeve 10, the sliding member 20 is moved in conjunction to the usage position P1. At this time, the stopper portion 21 of the sliding member 20 comes into contact with the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10, and the second engaging portion 22 of the sliding member 20 and the first engaging portion 12 of the sleeve 10 are fitted together, fixing the sliding member 20 in the usage position P1, allowing the user to unfold and use the umbrella 200. When the user needs to store the umbrella 200, they first fold the umbrella 200 and push it into the sleeve 10, which moves the sliding member 20 in conjunction to the storage position P2, separating the stopper portion 21 of the sliding member 20 from the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10, and disengaging the second engaging portion 22 of the sliding member 20 from the first engaging portion 12 of the sleeve 10.

[0021] Structurally, in order to make the fitting and fixing of the sleeve 10 and the sliding member 20 at the use position P1 more stable, in some embodiments, the sleeve 10 further includes a second restricting portion 13. Among them, the first restricting portion 11 and the second restricting portion 13 of the sleeve 10 are installed at intervals along the axial direction Z of the sleeve 10, and respectively protrude from the inner wall surface of the sleeve 10, and a first engaging portion 12 recessed between the first restricting portion 11 and the second restricting portion 13 is formed. That is, the sleeve 10 is sequentially provided with the second restricting portion 13, the first engaging portion 12, and the first restricting portion 11 from top to bottom.

[0022] Therefore, when the sliding member 20 is moved to the use position P1 and the second engaging portion 22 can be fitted into the first engaging portion 12 of the sleeve 10, at the same time, it can be restricted by the first restricting portion 11 and the second restricting portion 13 so as not to move in the axial direction Z, and the fitting and fixing effect is improved.

[0023] In some embodiments, the sliding member 20 includes a connecting portion 201 and a sliding portion 202 that are connected to each other. Among them, the connecting portion 201 is used to connect to the umbrella 200, the outer diameter of the sliding portion 202 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting portion 201, and is provided equal to the inner diameter of the sleeve 10, and a stopper portion 21 is installed between the sliding portion 202 and the connecting portion 201. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting portion 201 is used to connect to the umbrella 200, the other end is connected to the sliding portion 202, and due to the outer diameter difference of the connecting end surfaces of the connecting portion 201 and the sliding portion 202, the stopper portion 21 is formed. That is, in this embodiment, the stopper portion 21 is the end surface where the sliding portion 202 is connected to the connecting portion 201.

[0024] Therefore, the sliding portion 202 can slide and reciprocate along the axial direction Z within the sleeve 10, and when it moves to the use position P1, it abuts against the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10 by the stopper portion 21 on the end surface of the sliding portion 202. Among them, the second engaging portion 22 of the sliding member 20 protrudes from one side of the connecting portion 201, and when the stopper portion 21 abuts against the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10, the protruding second engaging portion 22 is fitted corresponding to the first engaging portion 12.

[0025] More specifically, the connecting portion 201 of the sliding member 20 further includes an assembly hole 2011, and the second engaging portion 22 includes a fixing member 221, a ball 222, and an elastic member 223. Of these, the assembly hole 2011 penetrates two sides of the connecting portion 201 and has an assembly end A and a restricting end B. The fixing member 221 of the second engaging portion 22 is detachably installed at the assembly end A of the assembly hole 2011, the ball 222 is movably installed at the restricting end B, and the elastic member 223 is installed inside the assembly hole 2011, with its two ends in contact with the fixing member 221 and the ball 222, respectively. Here, as the sliding member 20 moves from the storage position P2 to the usage position P1, when the ball 222 of the second engaging portion 22 and the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10 correspond to each other, the first restricting portion 11 pushes the ball 222, causing the ball 222 to retract into the mounting hole 2011. When the ball 222 of the second engaging portion 22 and the first engaging portion 12 of the sleeve 10 correspond to each other, the elastic member 223 pushes the ball 222, causing a portion of it to protrude outside the mounting hole 2011 and connect to the first engaging portion 12.

[0026] For example, the mounting end A of the mounting hole 2011 is a screw hole, the fixing member 221 can be a screw that can be screwed into the screw hole, the outer diameter of the restricting end B is slightly smaller than the ball 222, and the elastic member 223 can be a spring. In the absence of external force, the elastic force of the spring pushes the ball 222, causing a portion of it to protrude outside the mounting hole 2011, while another portion of the ball 222 is locked inside the mounting hole 2011 by the restricting end B (for example, when the sliding member 20 is slid between the usage position P1 and the storage position P2). When the ball 222 of the second engaging portion 22 and the first restricting portion 11 of the sleeve 10 correspond to each other, the first restricting portion 11 pushes the ball 222 into the mounting hole 2011 and compresses the spring.

[0027] In order to effectively improve the stability of the sliding member 20 when it slides in the axial direction Z, in some embodiments, a raceway portion 15 extending further along the axial direction Z is provided on the inner wall surface of the sleeve 10, and a guide portion 2025 is provided on the sliding portion 202 of the sliding member 20. The guide portion 2025 is slidably installed on the raceway portion 15, allowing the sliding member 20 to move along the raceway portion 15 in the axial direction Z. For example, the raceway portion 15 is a raised line protruding from one side of the inner wall surface of the sleeve 10, and the guide portion 2025 is a recessed groove recessed from one side of the sliding portion 202. The combination of protrusions and recesses forms a guiding action, allowing the guide portion 2025 to slide stably relative to the sleeve 10.

[0028] In addition, to facilitate the attachment and detachment of the umbrella handle, in some embodiments, the sleeve 10 further comprises a first sleeve portion 101 and a second sleeve portion 102. The first sleeve portion 101 comprises an open end 1011 and a closed end 1012, the second sleeve 102 is detachably mounted on the first sleeve portion 101, and the first restricting portion 11, the first engaging portion 12, and the second restricting portion 13 are mounted on the second sleeve portion 102. For example, an external screw is provided on the outer surface of the open end 1011 of the first sleeve portion 101, and an internal screw is provided on the inner surface of at least one end of the second sleeve portion 102, thereby allowing the second sleeve portion 102 to be easily attached to or removed from the first sleeve portion 101 by screw. In addition, the sleeve 10 may be further equipped with two O-rings O, which are installed on the end faces of the first restricting portion 11 and the second restricting portion 13. When the first sleeve portion 101 and the second sleeve portion 102 are assembled, a good airtight seal is achieved, and when the sliding member 20 is slid at the true operating position P1, a good airtight seal and waterproof seal can be achieved.

[0029] The sleeve 10 may also have a cap 14 installed. The cap 14 is detachably installed at one end of the second sleeve portion 102 separated from the first sleeve portion 101, so that after the user puts the umbrella 200 into the sleeve 10, they can close the cap 14 to prevent the umbrella 200 from sliding out of the sleeve 10. For example, a screw-type structure that can be screwed into each other or a groove-type structure that can be fitted into each other is provided between the end of the second sleeve portion 102 separated from the first sleeve portion 101 and the cap 14 (these are common techniques, so their individual explanations will be omitted), allowing the cap 14 to be easily fitted into or detached from the second sleeve portion 102.

[0030] As can be seen from the above description, the present invention allows the umbrella to be arbitrarily extended or retracted according to the user's needs by sliding the sliding member within the sleeve, and when moved to the usage position, the sliding member is fixed by the contact between the stopper part and the first restricting part, and by the engagement of the first engaging part and the second engaging part, allowing the user to unfold and use the umbrella. Furthermore, when the user stores the umbrella in the sleeve, simply pushing it from the usage position to the storage position disengages the second engaging part from the first engaging part, achieving the storage function, and at the same time preventing rainwater attached to the umbrella from scattering, improving cleanliness and convenience during use. For this reason, the present invention has advantages and effects such as being easy to operate and convenient to store. [Explanation of Symbols]
