Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of umbrellas, and in particular to tail beads for attaching umbrella ribs. [Background technology]

[0002] In umbrellas, such as umbrellas, car umbrellas, beach umbrellas, etc., the ribs of these umbrellas can expand or contract the outer umbrella cloth. The ends of the ribs are generally fixed to the umbrella cloth in two ways.

[0003] In the first fixing manner, as shown in Fig. 1, an umbrella 200' is provided with a number of ribs 202', the ribs 202' are covered with an umbrella cloth 201', and an edge covering 203' is provided on the edge of the umbrella cloth 201'. The ends of the umbrella bones 202' in Fig. 1 are generally formed in a T-shape or V-shape (not shown). The ends of the umbrella bones 202' in this structure are large, and in order to fix the ends of the umbrella bones 202' to the umbrella cloth 201', it is necessary to sew a dedicated fixing cloth 204' to the umbrella cloth 201'. This fixing manner requires many steps, uses a lot of materials, and is expensive.

[0004] In the second fixing manner, as shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella 200' is similarly provided with a number of umbrella bones 202', the umbrella bones 202' are covered with the umbrella cloth 201', and the edge of the umbrella cloth 201' is provided with the edge covering 203'. The end of the umbrella bone 202' in FIG. 2 is directly inserted into the tail bead 100', and the tail bead 100' is fixed to the umbrella cloth 201' or the edge covering 203' by thread. This fixing manner adopts the round head tail bead 100', but in the prior art, after the round head tail bead 100' is fixed to the umbrella cloth 201' or the edge covering 203', the round head is exposed. The exposed round head firstly affects the aesthetics, and secondly, because there are burrs on the round head, it is unsafe and easy to hurt people. Especially in the case of a child's umbrella, if children are not careful when using this round head tail bead umbrella, they are easy to get hurt.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to improve upon the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the objective of the present invention is to provide an umbrella tail bead that is convenient for fixing the ends of umbrella bones, simple and convenient to attach to the umbrella cloth, low cost, and does not expose the head so as to avoid injury to people.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention employs a technical means called an umbrella tail bead, which includes a rod portion having an umbrella bone insertion opening at one end, and an umbrella bone insertion hole communicating with the umbrella bone insertion opening formed along the axial direction of the rod portion, and a flat handle portion provided at one end of the rod portion away from the umbrella bone insertion opening, which can extend into the edge covering of the umbrella cloth and be hidden by the edge covering.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bone insertion hole includes a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole which are formed in series and communicate with each other, one end of the first insertion hole spaced from the second insertion hole communicates with the bone insertion opening, and the diameter of the second insertion hole is smaller than the diameter of the first insertion hole.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first insertion hole has a diameter of 2.8 to 3.2 mm, and the second insertion hole has a diameter of 1.8 to 2.2 mm.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first insertion hole is 4.3 to 4.7 cm, and the length of the second insertion hole is 0.8 to 1.2 cm.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the edge of the flat handle that contacts the edge coating has a V-shaped or arc-shaped profile.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flat handle portion is a flat plate, and the contact end of the flat handle portion with the edge coating includes a first contact portion and a second contact portion that are symmetrically provided.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the flat handle portion is a flat arc-shaped plate, which includes a first arc-shaped plate and a second arc-shaped plate arranged symmetrically on both sides of the longitudinal axis of the rod portion, and the edge of the first arc-shaped plate is provided with a first contact portion that contacts the edge coating, and the edge of the second arc-shaped plate is provided with a second contact portion that contacts the edge coating.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rod portion and the flat handle portion are both made of a TPE soft rubber material.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing lug is further provided on the side wall of the rod portion, and a suture hole for suturing is formed in the fixing lug.

[0024] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "fixed" and the like shall be interpreted in a broad sense, for example, "connected" may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection or integral, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate medium, a communication inside two elements, or an interactive relationship between two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific situation.

[0025] In addition, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. in the present invention are for explanatory purposes only and cannot be construed to indicate or imply their relative importance or to implicitly indicate the number of technical features described. Thus, a feature that is qualified with "first" or "second" may include at least one of the feature, either explicitly or implicitly.

[0026] The present invention includes the following embodiments.

[0027] 3 and 4, this embodiment provides an umbrella tail bead 100 including a rod portion 10 having an umbrella bone insertion opening 11 at one end, and an umbrella bone insertion hole 12 communicating with the umbrella bone insertion opening 11 formed along the axial direction of the rod portion 10. In the umbrella manufacturing process, as shown in Fig. 4, an umbrella bone 202 of an umbrella 200 is inserted from the umbrella bone insertion opening 11 of the tail bead 100 into the umbrella bone insertion hole 12, thereby fixing the end of the umbrella bone 202 to the rod portion 10 of the tail bead 100. In general, the umbrella bone insertion hole 12 is in close contact with the umbrella bone 202.

[0028] The tail bead 100 of the umbrella further includes a flat handle part 20, which is provided at one end of the rod part 10 away from the rib insertion hole 11 and can extend into the edge covering 203 of the umbrella cloth 201 of the umbrella 200 and be hidden by the edge covering 203. As shown in FIG. 4, the edge of the umbrella cloth 201 of the umbrella 200 generally needs to be subjected to edge covering 203 processing, and the edge of the umbrella cloth 201 generally has a cloth corner, so the edge covering 203 generally has a containing angle 205 at the position of the cloth corner of the umbrella cloth 201. And the flat handle part 20 of the tail bead 100 of this embodiment is inserted exactly at the position of the containing angle 205 of the edge covering 203. The flat handle part 20 is directly sewn to the edge covering 203 during the processing of the edge covering 203 of the umbrella cloth 201, so that the flat handle part 20 of the tail bead 100 is hidden by the edge covering 203 and the head is not exposed. As a result, the tail bead 100 of this embodiment does not expose the head after being attached to the umbrella 200, making it safe and preventing people from being injured by exposed head burrs, and is particularly applicable to umbrellas for children.

[0029] At the same time, the tail bead 100 of the umbrella according to this embodiment is fixed by directly inserting the end of the umbrella bone 202 through the rod part 10, so it can be used to attach and fix the bones of most current umbrellas 200. In this embodiment, a flat handle part 20 is provided at one end of the rod part 10, and the flat handle part 20 is directly inserted into the edge coating 203 of the umbrella cloth 201 of the umbrella 200 and fixed to the edge coating 203, so that the entire tail bead 100 is fixed to the umbrella cloth 201. As a result, when applying the tail bead 100 of this embodiment to the umbrella cloth 200, it is no longer necessary to fix the end of the umbrella bone by providing a dedicated fixing cloth to the umbrella cloth 201 as in the conventional technology, so that the material used, the process, and the cost are reduced.

[0030] The tail bead 100 of this embodiment has a simple structure and can be quickly and conveniently sewn and fixed to the edge covering 203 of the umbrella cloth via the flat handle portion 20.

[0031] The length of the bone insertion hole 12 is preferably 3 cm or more. In this way, after the bones 202 of the umbrella 200 are inserted into the bone insertion hole 12, the length of the bone insertion hole 12 is long, so that the bones 202 are less likely to fall off the tail bead 100 during use. Specifically, in a tri-fold umbrella, the length of the bone insertion hole 12 is generally 3 cm. In a straight umbrella, the length of the bone insertion hole 12 is generally 4 cm, which can effectively prevent the bones from falling off. In the prior art, when the round-headed tail bead 100' shown in FIG. 2 is used, the depth of the hole of the round-headed tail bead 100' is generally only about 2 cm, so that the bones 202 are easily dropped off from the round-headed tail bead 100' during use, which affects the use.

[0032] The rod portion 10 and the flat handle portion 20 in this embodiment are of an integral structure.

[0033] The rod portion 10 and the flat handle portion 20 in this embodiment are preferably made of TPE soft rubber material. The TPE soft rubber material allows the entire tail bead 100 to be bent, making it suitable for sewing and attaching to the flexible umbrella cloth 201, and avoids the hard feel caused by the use of plastic material for the round-headed tail bead in the prior art. At the same time, the TPE soft rubber material has a certain hardness, which can be adjusted by the material, so that it can support the umbrella bones 202 that stabilize the umbrella 200. The TPE soft rubber also has a certain elasticity to firmly insert and connect the umbrella bones 202.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, the bone insertion hole 12 includes a first insertion hole 121 and a second insertion hole 122 that are sequentially connected to each other. One end of the first insertion hole 121 that is separated from the second insertion hole 122 is connected to the bone insertion hole 11. The diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is smaller than that of the first insertion hole 121. With this stepped hole diameter design, the end of the bone 202 can be inserted from the first insertion hole 121 to the second insertion hole 122 with a smaller diameter, and the deformation of the hole wall material of the second insertion hole 122 is larger, so that the bone 202 can be fixed more firmly. That is, in this embodiment, after the bone 202 is inserted into the bone insertion hole 12, both the first insertion hole 121 and the second insertion hole 122 cover the bone, and both of the two insertion holes have a covering force against the outer wall of the end of the bone 202. Here, the second insertion hole 122 has a smaller hole diameter and therefore has a stronger covering force for the end of the rib 202 .

[0035] In one embodiment, the diameter of the first insertion hole 121 in this embodiment is 2.8 to 3.2 mm, and the diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 1.8 to 2.2 mm. This allows it to be adapted to the insertion of most of the umbrella bones currently on the market. Furthermore, the diameter of the first insertion hole 121 in this embodiment is 3 mm, and the diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 2 mm. The diameter of the second insertion hole 122 is 1 mm smaller than the diameter of the first insertion hole 121. This allows the ends of most of the umbrella bones to be better inserted and tightened.

[0036] In this embodiment, the length of the first insertion hole 121 is preferably 4.3 to 4.7 cm, and the length of the second insertion hole 122 is preferably 0.8 to 1.2 cm. The length of the first insertion hole 121 is as long as 4.3 to 4.7 cm. This completely prevents the ribs 202 from falling off the tail beads 100. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the length of the first insertion hole 121 is 4.5 cm, and the length of the second insertion hole 122 is 1 cm.

[0037] Continuing to refer to FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the contour of the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 with the edge covering 203 is V-shaped or arc-shaped. Due to the V-shaped or arc-shaped contour design of the contact end 21, when the flat handle 20 is sewn to the position of the containment angle 205 of the edge covering 203 of the umbrella 200, the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 has a large contact surface with both edge coverings 203 on both sides of the position of the containment angle 205. As a result, the contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 can receive the reaction force from the edge coverings 203 on both sides, so that the force received by the flat handle 20 is balanced and uniform. As a result, the entire tail bead 100 is firmly and stably fixed to the umbrella cloth 201.

[0038] The flat handle 20 is a flat plate. The contact end 21 of the flat handle 20 with the edge coating 203 includes a first contact portion 22 and a second contact portion 23 arranged symmetrically. The flat plate shape is convenient for extending into the edge coating 203 and fixing by sewing. The first contact portion 22 and the second contact portion 23 arranged symmetrically are respectively abutted against and fixed to the edge coating 203 on both sides of the position of the containing angle 205, so that the force received by the edge coating 203 of the flat handle 20 is balanced and is not offset.

[0039] 6, the flat handle 20 is a flat arc-shaped plate. The arc-shaped plate includes a first arc-shaped plate 24 and a second arc-shaped plate 25 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the longitudinal axis 101 of the rod 10. The edge of the first arc-shaped plate 24 is provided with a first contact portion 22 that contacts the edge coating 203. The edge of the second arc-shaped plate 25 is provided with a second contact portion 23 that contacts the edge coating 203. The first arc-shaped plate 24 and the second arc-shaped plate 25 symmetrically arranged can make the edge coatings on both sides of the containing angle 205 well contact the flat handle 20 after the entire arc-shaped flat handle 20 is attached to the edge coating 203, and the contact area is large and stable.

[0040] 3, the side wall of the rod part 10 according to this embodiment is further provided with a fixing ear 30. The fixing ear 30 has a sewing hole 31 for sewing. The sewing hole 31 is threaded and then the fixing ear is fixed to the umbrella cloth 201, so that the rod part 10 of the tail bead 100 can be fixed to the umbrella cloth 201, and the strength of the fixation between the tail bead 100 and the umbrella cloth 201 can be further improved.

[0041] The tail bead 100 of the umbrella of the present invention is provided with a rod portion 10 for inserting the end of the umbrella bone 202, and a flat handle portion 20 connected to the rod portion 10 for fixing the entire tail bead 100 to the edge covering 203 of the umbrella cloth 201. This structure does not expose the head, preventing injury to the user. It also eliminates the need to attach and fix the tail bead 100 by specially sewing extra fixing cloth to the umbrella cloth 201, saving materials and reducing costs.

[0042] The above is merely an example for clarifying the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the invention. It is not possible to list all the embodiments, and the equivalent structural transformation made by utilizing the contents of the technical means of the present invention under the concept of the present invention, or the direct / indirect utilization in other related technical fields, are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
