Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a raindrop collecting device for an umbrella.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Traditionally, a plastic bag (not shown) has been used to receive drops from a folded rainwater-wet umbrella.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional plastic bag is disposable and wastes resources. In addition, when attaching a plastic bag to a wet umbrella, it is difficult to remove it while holding a shopping bag or the like in one or both hands, and the hands may get wet with rainwater, which is very troublesome.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and the raindrop receiver can be easily attached / detached by simply putting an umbrella in and out of the shell in which the raindrop receiver is stored freely. It is an object of the present invention to provide a raindrop collecting device for an umbrella.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the present invention is a raindrop collecting device for an umbrella, which is a rack formed by assembling shells having an opening at one end and tabs on the side, and a drop that is stored in the shell so that it can be inserted and removed freely. The drop receiver can be attached to and detached from the umbrella simply by putting in and out the umbrella with rainwater attached to the shell, and the rainwater can be collected.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, by inserting an umbrella having rainwater attached thereto into the shell, the drop receiver stored in the shell can be attached to the umbrella. While holding the umbrella with the drop receiver attached, rainwater that adheres to the umbrella, for example, while shopping is accumulated in the drop receiver. After use, insert the umbrella with the drop receiver into the shell, and then when pulling it out, hook the drop receiver on the claw provided on the shell to separate the drop receiver from the umbrella and After use, the drop receiver is returned to the raindrop collecting device of the umbrella, and the rainwater accumulated in the drop receiver is discharged.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an umbrella drop collecting device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front sectional view showing the drop receiver, FIG. 3 is an explanatory view showing a process of collecting rainwater, and FIG. FIG. In the figure, 1 is a raindrop collecting device for an umbrella according to an embodiment of the present invention, 2 is an umbrella, 2a is a stone of this umbrella 2, 3 has an opening 4 at one end 4a, and a pawl 5 at a side 4b. The provided shell 6 is a rack composed of an assembly of the shells 3 in which the shell 3 is inclined downward from the opening 4 toward the back, and 7 is inserted into and removed from the shell 3 of the rack 6. It is a raindrop receiver that is freely stored. The raindrop receiver 1 for the umbrella includes the rack 6 and the raindrop receiver 7. By inserting the umbrella 2 into the shell 3 or pulling out the raindrop receiver 7 from the shell 3. It can be attached and detached, and rainwater due to the droplets attached to the umbrella 2 can be collected.

FIG. 2 is a front sectional view showing a drop receiver 7 used for a drop collecting device of an umbrella installed in a place where a large number of people go in and out such as a department store and an office building. The drop receiver 7 is provided in the main body 9 and an inner 10 made of an elastic material provided in a main body 9 of a cylindrical body, a holding portion 10a for holding the umbrella 2 having a narrow cross section of the inner 10. The drain 10 and the packing 13 are provided, and the bottom of the inner 10 comes into contact with the packing 13 due to the elastic deformation of the inner 10 that occurs when the drop receiver 7 is attached to the umbrella 2 (a in FIG. 2). When the mouth 12 is closed and the umbrella is separated from the drop receiver 7 (b in FIG. 2), the inner 10 contracts and restores, so that the rainwater 8 is discharged from the drainage port 12. 14 is a water passage.

Next, the operation will be described by taking as an example the case where the raindrop collecting device for an umbrella of one embodiment of the present invention is installed in a department store or the like. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a process of collecting rainwater. When the raindrop-wetted umbrella 2 is brought into a department store or the like (a and b in FIG. 3), the umbrella 2 is folded and inserted into the shell 3. As a result, the umbrella 2 is attached to the drop receiver 7 housed in the shell 3. In this state, by pulling out the umbrella 2 toward you, rainwater accumulates in the drop receiver 7 while you are using the umbrella 2 with the drop receiver 7 in the store for shopping. (Figure 3c).

When leaving, it is easy to insert the umbrella 2 with the drop receiver 7 into the shell 3 and hook the drop receiver 7 on the pawl 5 provided on the shell 3 when pulling out next. , At the same time that the drop receiver 7 is detached from the umbrella 2, the rainwater 8 accumulated in the drop receiver 7 is drained and accumulated in a water receiver (not shown) (d, e in FIG. 3). The rainwater collected in the water receiver is treated at the end of work at department stores. In this way, the used drop receiver 7 is returned.

The usage state of the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. By inserting the wet umbrella 2 into the drop receiver 7 into the shell 3 (Fig. 4a), the umbrella is automatically folded and the drain port 12 of the drop receiver 7 is closed (Fig. 4b). ). Next, the rainwater 8 is collected in the drop receiver 7 by pulling out the umbrella 2 so as not to hit the pawl 5 (c in FIG. 4). When the umbrella 2 is inserted into the vacant shell 3 (d in FIG. 4) at the time of detachment, the drop receiver 7 is caught on the pawl 5 (e in FIG. 4), and when the umbrella 2 is pulled out, the drop receiver 7 is moved to the rack 6. Left in Shell 3. At the same time, the drain port 12 of the drop receiver 7 opens, and the rainwater 8 collects in the water receiver of the rack 6 (f in FIG. 4).

According to the umbrella drop collecting device of the embodiment of the present invention, the rack 3 having the cylindrical shell 3 having the opening 4 at the one end 4a and the pawl 5 at the side 4b is assembled. 6 and the drop receiver 7 housed in the shell 3 of the rack 6 so that the drop receiver 7 can be easily inserted and removed from the shell 3 simply by putting the umbrella 2 in and out. Therefore, it is possible to provide a raindrop collecting device for umbrellas.

(Other Embodiments) In the above-described embodiment, since the drop receiver 7 is housed so that it can be put in and taken out freely and has a shape that facilitates attachment and detachment, a set of plastic shells 3 corresponding to the drop receiver 7 are assembled. Although the case where the rack is configured by the body has been described, the same effect can be obtained even if the rack is made of metal rods in combination. A water tank may be detachably provided instead of the water drain plug 16.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pawl 5 is provided on the side portion 4b of the shell 3 and the shell 3 is arranged so as to be inclined toward the back has been described, but as shown in FIG. By forming the step portion 15 in the shell 3 on the side of the opening 4 of the above, the umbrella 2 is inserted into the shell 3 in the state shown in FIG. 5 (a), and the umbrella 2 is inserted as shown in FIG. 5 (b). By tilting the shell 3 together with the shell 3 so as to contact the step portion 15, the drop receiver 7 can be more easily and surely removed. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pawl 5 is provided on the shell 3 so as to face upward has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 6A, the same effect can be obtained if the pawl 5 is provided so as to face downward. In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pawl 5 is provided on the shell 3 facing upward has been described. However, as shown in the plan view of FIG. 6B, the shell 3 is attached to the left and right, and the pawl 5 is provided to the side. May be.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pawl 5 is provided in the opening 4 of the shell 3 has been described. However, the pawl 5 may be provided inside the shell 3, and in this case, the concavo-convex portion of the drop receiver 7 is provided. It is desirable to provide.

[0017]

[Effect of the device]
