Definitions

  • the invention relates to an element and an umbrella frame and the like, said frame being formed by ribs and tensioning arms, the ends of which are articulated on the one hand on the ribs and on the other hand on a ring sliding on the handle.
  • the invention also relates to a method of assembling an umbrella and the like having such a frame.
  • the frame In a conventional umbrella, the frame generally consists of an end crown, ribs, tension arms and a ring sliding on a handle.
  • the whales are articulated at one of their ends to the end crown and are connected approximately at their middle part, by a joint, to one of the ends of the arms, the other end of which is articulated to the sliding ring.
  • These different parts are manufactured separately and their assembly is carried out using rivet pins.
  • the long pieces are made of metal profile having at the points of articulation protruding legs which are drilled to receive the axes.
  • These parts require at least one stamping-cutting operation and one folding operation, some must also undergo a drilling operation.
  • the assembly of the frame includes the mounting and fixing of the joints and its covering, the fixing by sewing of the canvas on the free end of the whales.
  • the object of the invention is to obviate these various drawbacks by proposing a frame having a minimum of parts, of simple assembly and of high reliability.
  • the invention relates to a remarkable reinforcing element in that it is in the form of a single piece, molded, comprising several parts corresponding to the tensioning arm, the whale and to a longitudinal portion of the handle. , as well as joints formed by flexible tongues connecting the different parts to each other.
  • the tongues came integrally with said parts during the molding of the element.
  • the invention also relates to an umbrella frame and the like constituted by the assembly of elements as defined above, the longitudinal portions of said elements being joined together so as to form said handle and the free ends of said tensioning arms. being locked and articulated on said ring slidably mounted on said handle.
  • Another subject of the invention is a method of assembling an umbrella and the like with a frame as defined above, according to which the handle portions of the desired number of frame elements are placed against each other and said portions are fixed together to form the handle, the ring is placed on the handle, the ends of the tensioning arms are locked in the ring, and the umbrella is completed by presenting the canvas on the whales and fixing it on these the latter by said fixing means provided at the ends of the whales.
  • the frame is made up of elements 1.
  • Each element is in the form of a single piece, molded, comprising several parts corresponding to a tensioning arm 2, to a whale 3 and to a longitudinal portion 4 of the handle. These different parts are connected to each other by flexible articulation tabs 5 and 6 respectively provided between one end of the tensioning arm 2 and the whale 3, in an approximately median zone, and between one end of the whale and one end of the portion longitudinal 4 of the handle.
  • these articulation tabs are obtained directly during the molding of the element 1.
  • these In order to facilitate the mounting of the elements and more particularly of the handle portions 4, these have, in cross section, a substantially triangular or trapezoidal shape, allowing their assembly in a convex circle or polygon.
  • the handle portions are in section in the form of circular ring sectors.
  • the free ends 7 of the tensioning arms 2 are held in a ring 8, shown in its developed form in FIG. 4.
  • This shape corresponds to a flat molding piece which is then wound up to give a closed polygonal ring.
  • the molding part consists of parallelepipedic elements 9 connected together by a ribbon link 10 formed for example by thinning of the material separating the elements of the ring.
  • the parallelepipedic elements 9, which are equal in number to that of the tensioning arms, have on one of their short sides, and along the longitudinal axis, notches 11, the function of which will be specified later.
  • Semi-cylindrical and coaxial housings 12 are provided in the notches, on the opposite sides.
  • the longitudinal edges of the parallelepipedic end elements comprise complementary locking means 13, 14.
  • the ring 8 could be molded directly to its final shape complementary to that of the handle, and in this case does not require the presence of the locking means 13, 14.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show one of the ring elements in which a tensioning arm 2 is held.
  • the reinforcing elements 1 are kept assembled by the joining of the longitudinal portions 4 of the handle, this joining being obtained by any known means such as bonding, welding, shrinking, etc.
  • a hooping means consisting of elastic rings 16 housed in circular grooves 17 provided in the sleeve portions 4 was used.
  • fastening means 18 of the fabric which, according to the embodiment shown, consist of a concave portion of elastic sleeve 19 in which is housed a cylindrical convex body 20 which is connected to the end of the whale by a flexible connection 21.
  • the axis of the sleeve is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the whale.
  • the means for fixing the fabric are obtained directly during the molding of the reinforcing element.
  • the fixing of the fabric is obtained by wedging between the sleeve portion and the cylindrical body.
  • the frame consists of three elements 1 which represents an umbrella with three whales whose arrangement can be chosen according to the desired aesthetics;
  • the arrangement of the reinforcing elements will be determined by interposing, between the handle portions, spacers which, for the sake of simplification of manufacture, will correspond to the handle portions of the reinforcing elements;
  • the reinforcing elements are molded in a semi-rigid material, the thickness of the circular ring sectors constituting the handle portions is provided so as to allow its deformation and its maintenance, by any known means, on a rigid core forming the center of the handle.
  • umbrella frame To simplify the description, an umbrella frame has been mentioned, but it is obvious that any device comprising a folding frame supporting a sheet of flexible material capable of folding is included in this term "umbrella".
  • the method of assembling a frame umbrella consists in placing the handle portions of the desired number of frame elements against each other, so as to form a convex polygon or the like, and then to fix said portions together to form the handle, to set up the ring on the handle and to make the pins of the tensioning arms cooperate and the housings of the ring to lock the tensioning arms in the ring, to close the ring by means of locking if it is a flat molding, and to complete the umbrella by presenting the canvas on the whales and fixing it on the latter by the fixing means provided at the ends of the whales.
  • spacers are inserted between the sleeve portions.
