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] In order to solve the above problems, the invention of the present application has a structure in which the attached umbrella bag is inverted from the inside and connected to an appropriate position of the umbrella fabric as shown in FIG. 1.

[0010] During rainfall, when the umbrella is open, the umbrella bag gets wet together with the umbrella fabric. However, when the rain stops and the umbrella is drying, the umbrella bag also dries at the same time. It is a folding umbrella in which the umbrella and the umbrella bag are integrated and can be stored hygienically when the umbrella is folded.

[0011] Since the umbrella bag is connected to the side surface of the umbrella fabric, the umbrella bag will not be lost except in unexpected situations such as being torn off.

[0012] Since the umbrella bag attached when purchasing a general existing folding umbrella is used, no new equipment investment or the like is required for manufacturing this umbrella.

Effect of the Invention

[0013] The present invention can provide an umbrella in which the umbrella bag attached when purchasing a folding umbrella is not lost and the umbrella body and the umbrella bag body are integrated.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment for obtaining the folding umbrella according to the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the embodiments described below are illustrative and do not limit the present invention to the content of the embodiments. (Embodiment 1)

[0016] The umbrella body 1 refers to the entire substantial umbrella other than the umbrella bag such as ribs and fabric.

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

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

[0019] The umbrella bag body 10 is a bag for storing the umbrella body 1. The size of the umbrella bag body 10 is not particularly limited. 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 the folded state, the entire length of the umbrella ribs from the tip of the stone protrusion excluding the handle 4. The umbrella body 1 in the folded state can be stored in the umbrella bag body 10. Note that the color, pattern, and handle of the umbrella bag body 10 are not particularly limited. It may be the same as or different from the color, pattern, and handle 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 entrance for taking the umbrella body 1 in and out. Note that, as will be described later, the umbrella bag body 10 of the present invention is used in connection with 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 configuration of the folding umbrella of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an overall view when the umbrella body 1 is taken out from the umbrella bag body 10 and the umbrella is opened by a general operation. The umbrella body 1 has mechanisms and parts provided in a known general folding umbrella and is an overall view when the umbrella is opened by an operation of opening a general umbrella.

[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] As a method for appropriately connecting the umbrella body 1 and the umbrella bag body 10, there is a method of sewing the umbrella fabric 2 and the umbrella bag body 10. (Example 3)

[0031] As a method for connecting the umbrella body 1 and the umbrella bag body 10, there is a method of providing a hook-and-loop fastener at an appropriate position on the umbrella fabric 2 and the umbrella bag body 10 for connection. (Example 4)

[0032] As shown in FIG. 5, for example, patterns, designs, or colors can be applied to the inverted umbrella bag body 10 connected to an appropriate position on the umbrella fabric 2, on the inverted side of the umbrella bag body 10, to provide patterns and designs that can be seen when the umbrella is open.

Industrial Applicability

[0033] Therefore, the invention of the present application can hygienically store the umbrella with the same operation as the simple operations of opening and closing a conventional umbrella, without losing the umbrella bag attached when purchasing a folding umbrella, and without special equipment investment such as applying a pattern that can only be seen when the umbrella is open, and it is possible to implement industrial utilization on the extension line of the existing technology.
