Description

本考案は、日常用傘に関し、特に、安全傘ろくろの嵌合装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an everyday umbrella, and more particularly, to a fitting device for a safety umbrella wheel.

公知の傘のろくろの下ろくろは、傘を開くときには中棒において弾き出される定位ブロックにより該下ろくろが中棒に係止されることによって傘が開き、傘を閉じるときには該定位ブロックを内側に押して定位ブロックによる下ろくろへの係止を解除することによって下ろくろを引き下げて傘を閉じる。   When the umbrella is opened, the umbrella is opened when the umbrella is locked to the center rod by a stereotactic block that is ejected by the center rod when the umbrella is opened, and the stereotactic block is pushed inward when the umbrella is closed. The umbrella is pulled down by releasing the latch on the bottom block by releasing the stereotactic block.

上記傘のろくろ定位構造は、開傘、閉傘には有利であるが、該定位ブロックが金属板であるため、定位ブロックを手で押圧する瞬間にろくろも同時に下方に摺動して、手を離すことが間に合わず、手が定位ブロック及びろくろに挟まれて使用者が怪我をすることもよくあり、使用者の操作上大変不便である。   The above-mentioned umbrella positioning structure of the umbrella is advantageous for opening and closing umbrellas. However, since the positioning block is a metal plate, the wheel also slides downward at the same time when the positioning block is pressed by hand. It is often inconvenient for the operation of the user because the user is often injured because the hand cannot be released in time and the hand is caught between the stereotaxic block and the wheel.

そこで、本考案は、上記課題を克服し、構造が簡単で、操作が安全な安全傘ろくろの嵌合装置を提供することを目的とする。   Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fitting device for a safety umbrella wheel that overcomes the above-described problems, has a simple structure, and is safe to operate.

上記課題を解決するため、本考案に係る安全傘ろくろの嵌合装置は、上ろくろ本体と、下ろくろ本体と、中棒と、を備え、前記上ろくろ本体には一体として成型された弾性嵌合部材が下方に延伸しており、前記下ろくろ本体はガイドスリーブと引きスリーブからなり、前記ガイドスリーブは角孔を有し、該角孔の外側にガイドスリーブと一体として成型された弾性押し片が設けられ、前記引きスリーブにはさらに角孔と対応する引きスリーブ孔が設けられ、前記引きスリーブ孔の上端斜面によりガイドスリーブの内孔が遮られる。   In order to solve the above-described problems, a safety umbrella wheel fitting device according to the present invention includes an upper wheel body, a lower wheel body, and an intermediate rod, and the elastic fitting formed integrally with the upper wheel body. An elastic member that is formed integrally with the guide sleeve on the outer side of the square hole. The pulling sleeve is further provided with a pulling sleeve hole corresponding to the square hole, and the inner hole of the guide sleeve is blocked by the upper slope of the pulling sleeve hole.

また、前記弾性嵌合部材の頭端部と中棒とは４５°の斜角をなすことが好ましい。   Further, it is preferable that the head end portion of the elastic fitting member and the middle bar form an oblique angle of 45 °.

また、前記弾性押し片の端部と角孔とは４５°の斜角をなすことが好ましい。   Further, it is preferable that the end of the elastic pushing piece and the square hole form an oblique angle of 45 °.

また、前記上ろくろ本体内には中棒を固定する連結軸が設けられ、該連結軸と上ろくろ本体に固接された二つの着脱可能係止部材とが係止することが好ましい。   Further, it is preferable that a connecting shaft for fixing the middle rod is provided in the upper potter's wheel body, and the connecting shaft and two detachable locking members fixed to the upper potter's wheel body are locked.

また、前記上ろくろ本体と中棒とはピンにより固定して連結されることが好ましい。   Moreover, it is preferable that the upper crossbone body and the middle bar are fixedly connected by a pin.

本考案に係る安全傘ろくろの嵌合装置によれば、傘を開くときには、引きスリーブを押し上げることにより、下ろくろ本体の弾性押し片が上ろくろ本体の弾性嵌合部材に押し込まれて開いて、弾性嵌合部材が下ろくろ本体の角孔内に嵌入して、上ろくろ本体と下ろくろ本体が嵌合してセルフロックし、傘を閉じるときには、引きスリーブを引き下げさえすれば、引きスリーブ孔の上端斜面が弾性嵌合部材と下ろくろ本体を離脱させて、上ろくろ本体と下ろくろ本体との嵌合を自動的に分離させる。これにより、中棒に孔を空ける又は弓片を設けて定位する従来の傘の開閉習慣を変えることができ、操作が安全かつ便利になり、構造が簡単になる等の優れた効果が得られる。   According to the safety umbrella wheel fitting device according to the present invention, when opening the umbrella, by pushing up the pull sleeve, the elastic pushing piece of the lower skull body is pushed into the elastic fitting member of the upper skull body and opened. When the elastic fitting member fits into the square hole of the bottom wheel body, the top and bottom body parts fit together and self-lock, and when closing the umbrella, the pull sleeve can be pulled down as long as the pull sleeve is pulled down. The upper end slope separates the elastic fitting member and the bottom crossing main body and automatically separates the fitting between the top crossing main body and the bottom crossing main body. As a result, it is possible to change the opening / closing custom of a conventional umbrella that has a hole in the center rod or is positioned by providing a bow piece, and it is possible to obtain excellent effects such as safe and convenient operation and simple structure. .
