Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an integral structure of an umbrella cover and a main rib, and particularly to an integral structure of an umbrella cover and a main rib suitable for a single-piece umbrella without ears sewn in a triangular piece stitch.

Background Art

[0002] In conventional ordinary umbrellas, as shown in FIG. 4, triangular pieces 20 obtained by cutting umbrella fabric into triangular shapes are sewn according to the number of main ribs 21 to form an umbrella cover 22. Then, ears 23 formed inside the umbrella by sewing the triangular pieces 10 are used as sewing margins, and the main ribs 21 are sewn to these sewing margins usually at two or three positions by an intermediate sewing process 24 to integrate the umbrella cover 22 and the main ribs 21 so that the main ribs 21 do not float. However, recently, single-piece umbrellas with seamless expressions such as the handle have become popular among consumers. In the case of a single-piece umbrella, since a single piece of fabric is stretched over the umbrella, the intermediate sewing process using a sewing seam becomes unnecessary. On the other hand, without the adhesion between the ribs and the fabric using a sewing seam, when the umbrella is closed, the fabric becomes loose and fluttering. Particularly in a folding umbrella where the fabric must be closed together when the umbrella is closed, the fabric not adhered to the ribs that can be closed floats, and there has been a problem that the umbrella cannot be folded properly. Therefore, in order to adhere the ribs and the fabric, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, the main rib and the umbrella fabric are adhered with a bond, or as shown in FIG. 5, only the end portion of the umbrella fabric is cut to create the same ears 25 as those of a normal umbrella and sewn using them. However, the method of bonding the ribs and umbrella fabric with adhesive, as described above, has the drawback of coming apart after short-term use because there is no adhesive suitable for bonding dissimilar materials, such as resin or metal for the ribs and fiber for the fabric. Furthermore, the method of sewing only the ends of the umbrella fabric results in the handle being misaligned at the ends, negating the advantage of a single-piece fabric that allows for a seamless expression of the pattern and other details.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] For a one-piece umbrella in which the handle and the like are expressed seamlessly at The ring as an independent part , a part of the ring, Is pasted on the back side of the umbrella fabric by a thread passing through the inside of the ring Tahei Is sewn to the flat patch, and A part of the aforementioned ring is different from Another part 、 Is sewn to the main rib by a thread passing through the inside of the ring and the annular through-hole provided in the main rib, thereby strengthening the integration of the umbrella cover and the main rib.

Example 1

[0009] Hereinafter, an example in which the integrated structure 1 of the umbrella cover and the main rib of the present invention is applied to an automatic opening and closing folding umbrella will be described according to FIGS. 1 to 3. In FIG. 1, 2 is flat Is a flat patch, 3 is a ring as an independent part, the flat patch 2 is made of umbrella fabric of the same material as the umbrella cover fabric 4, and half of it is plane-joined and welded to the umbrella fabric 4a along the middle binding part 6 of the main rib 5 on the back side of the umbrella. Also, the ring 3 , part of the ring 3 Is pasted on the back side of the umbrella fabric by a thread passing through the inside of the ring Tahei Is sewn to the flat patch, and A part of the aforementioned ring 3 is different Another part is sewn to the main rib 5 by a thread 8 passing through the annular through-holes 7a and 7b provided in the ring 3 and the main rib 5.
