Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a folding fan that has a light-shielding function and a ventilation function and is foldable and convenient to carry.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, parasols have been commonly used as sunshade tools, but they have been inconvenient, such as hitting people, when used in a crowd. On the other hand, there have been few tools that combine the ventilation function and the sunshade function of a folding fan. In modern society, it is not yet common for men to carry a parasol due to social perception, and there is a need for a product that does not cause a psychological burden even for men.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the case of conventional parasols, since the perception that they are tools used by women is common in social perception, there may be people who feel a sense of resistance such as shame when men use them in public.

[0005] In the parasol fan disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is smaller than a parasol and excellent for carrying, and the use by men is also reminiscent, but because the appearance of the structure is not common but rather peculiar, it may rather draw attention during use and increase the psychological burden on the user. However, in the present invention, the appearance of the structure during use is natural because it is in the form of using a folding fan, and it is possible to create a natural usage mode, reducing the psychological burden on the user.

[0006] In the parasol-fan disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the hinge part for changing the angle of the face part is lightweight, it is structurally vulnerable to gusts of wind. However, in the present invention, the hinge part is eliminated and the structure is made as simple as possible, so it has a structure that is strong against wind.

[0007] In the parasol-fan disclosed in Patent Document 2, since an elastic material is not effectively adopted, the opening and closing of the fan and the holding of the opened state have to be performed manually, and an improvement in operability is desired. However, in the present invention, since an annular frame having an elastic function is adopted, both the opening and closing of the fan and the holding of the opened state can be automatically performed, improving the operability of the user.

[0008] Also, in a general parasol, it is often necessary to fold the parasol in a crowded place. However, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a product that is excellent in operability and portability, enabling the user to quickly and effectively block sunlight or generate a fanning effect even in a crowded place.

[0009] Furthermore, in the folding fan according to the present invention, advertisement information such as a company logo, product information, event guidance, etc. can be displayed on the front or back surface of the sheet, and it can also be utilized as an advertising medium.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0010] The parasol-fan with a sunshade function according to the present invention is composed of a foldable face part and a gripping part attached to the face part. The face part consists of an annular frame provided with an elastic annular line and a sheet stretched inside the annular frame. The gripping part has a ginkgo leaf-like shape and a strap is attached to the lower part. When the annular frame of the face part is folded into a triple ring while being twisted 360 degrees, the face part is held and stored by the strap.

Effects of the Invention

[0011] The Japanese fan with a sunshade function according to the present invention can easily fold the face part and can hold and store the folded face part with a strap, so it is convenient to carry. Also, when it is expanded and used as a Japanese fan, it can be easily expanded by the action of the elastic annular line, and the fanning function is more effective than that of a conventional Japanese fan.

[0012] By having both a sunshade function and a blowing function, it can contribute to the prevention of heat stroke, can capture the male population who have felt a sense of resistance such as shame in holding a sunshade until now, and can be easily used even in a crowd, so it is expected to more effectively reduce social losses such as heat stroke.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the Japanese fan with a sunshade function according to the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a front view showing a state in which the face part is expanded to form a Japanese fan with a sunshade function, FIG. 2 is a side view, FIG. 3 is a top view, FIG. 4 is a bottom view, FIG. 5 is a perspective view, FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the process of transitioning from the expanded state to the folded state, FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the folded state, FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view of the face part, and FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the gripping part.

[0016] In the figure, 1 indicates a folding fan with a sunshade function. The folding fan 1 with a sunshade function is composed of a foldable face part 4 and a gripping part 3 attached to the face part 4.

[0017] The face part 4 is formed by bending an elastic annular line 7, which is circularly bent so that an elastic restoring force acts to always maintain a straight line shape, into a circular shape to form an annular frame 2, and a sheet 10 is stretched inside it. The actual forming method of the face part 4 is to sew a through part 8 for inserting the elastic annular line 7 along the periphery of a circular sheet 10, and insert the elastic annular line 7 into this through part 8 to complete it.

[0018] The gripping part 3 is composed of two parts in the shape of ginkgo leaves, and one of them is provided with a groove into which the annular frame 2 attached to the face part 4 can be inserted. The actual forming method of the gripping part 3 is to fit the annular frame 2 attached to the face part 4 into the groove of the gripping part 3 component, apply an adhesive to the part where the annular frame 2 is not fitted, combine and adhere the other gripping part 3 component, and complete it by crimping using a fastener 6.

[0019] Next, the folding method of the folding fan 1 with a sunshade function in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6. First, starting from the expanded state of the folding fan with a sunshade function in FIG. 5, when it is twisted 180 degrees as shown in FIG. 6(1), it becomes the state shown in FIG. 6(2). When further twisted from the state shown in FIG. 6(2), it becomes the state shown in FIG. 6(3). When the three rings generated in the state shown in FIG. 6(3) are aligned, it becomes the state shown in FIG. 6(4). By hanging a strap 5 on the annular frame 2 in the state shown in FIG. 6(4) and holding it, the face part 4 can be stored in the state shown in FIG. 6(6).

[0020] Also, in the folded state shown in FIG. 7, when the strap 5 is removed from the annular frame 2, due to the restoring force of the elastic annular line 7, it becomes the expanded state shown in FIG. 6(1).

[0021] As described above, the folding fan with a sunshade function has a simple structure and has the function of storing the face part 4 as described above.

Industrial Applicability

[0022] The folding fan according to the present invention is not only suitable for personal use, but also has a sunshade function and a fan function by means of light shielding, ultraviolet shielding, and heat shielding, so it can be widely used in outdoor events in summer, sports games, tourist attractions, etc. In addition, corporate advertisements, product information, etc. can be displayed on the front or back surface of the sheet, and it can also be used as an advertising medium, and has high utility in commercial activities.
