Description
本發明係關於一種傘具結構,尤指一種具防風效果之反折傘具。The invention relates to an umbrella structure, in particular to a folding umbrella with a windproof effect.
按,請參閱中華民國專利第M508941號,其揭露一種反折傘具,並具有一主桿、一滑套、一第一傘布、一第二傘布及一傘骨本體,當滑套位於開展位置時,可連動傘滑本體之各第一折桿及各第二折桿作動,令傘骨本體係朝主桿之底端張展,俾使第一傘布及第二傘布開展,當滑套位於收合位置時,傘骨本體則係朝主桿之頂端收折,俾使第一傘布及第二傘布收合,且此時第一傘布及第二傘布整體係呈現由下往上之方式收合,故沾滿雨水之第二傘布即可收合於第一傘布內,用以防止雨水從第二傘布滴落至各處。Press, please refer to the Republic of China Patent No. M508941, which discloses a reverse folding umbrella and has a main pole, a sliding sleeve, a first umbrella cloth, a second umbrella cloth and an rib body, when the sliding sleeve is located When the position is started, the first folding bar and the second folding bar of the umbrella sliding body can be actuated, so that the rib system is stretched toward the bottom end of the main pole, so that the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth are carried out. When the sliding sleeve is in the folding position, the rib body is folded toward the top end of the main rod, so that the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth are folded, and at this time, the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth are integrated. The bottom is folded from the bottom up, so the second umbrella covered with rain can be folded into the first umbrella to prevent rain from dripping from the second umbrella to everywhere.
然而,上述反折傘具,由於傘骨本體係包覆於第一傘布及第二傘布之間,且滑套位於開展位置時,傘骨本體係朝主桿底端張展之設計,使得第一傘布及第二傘布開展時,整體傘面相對於主桿之夾角過大(即過於平行地面),當在高風阻下時,容易發生傘面翻折之情形,進而造成了傘骨本體折損。However, in the above-mentioned reversing umbrella device, since the rib system is wrapped between the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth, and the sliding sleeve is located at the developing position, the design of the rib system is extended toward the bottom end of the main rod, so that When an umbrella cloth and a second umbrella cloth are developed, the angle between the whole umbrella surface and the main pole is too large (that is, the ground surface is too parallel), and when the wind is high, the folding of the umbrella surface is easy to occur, thereby causing the body of the rib to be damaged. .
藉此,目前反折傘具尚具有必須改良之處,以待相關產業者解決之。In this way, the current anti-fold umbrellas still have to be improved, so that the relevant industries can solve them.
為解決上述課題,本發明提供一種具防風效果之反折傘具,其藉由複數個拉伸元件之彈性拉力,可將複數個傘骨朝主桿方向拉引,防止強大風阻下傘面翻折。In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a reversible umbrella with a windproof effect, which can pull a plurality of ribs toward the main rod by elastic tension of a plurality of tensile elements, thereby preventing the umbrella surface from being turned under strong wind resistance. fold.
為達到上述目的,本發明之具防風效果之反折傘具,其包含:一主桿,其具有一頂端及一底端;一滑套,其套設於主桿,並係於一開展位置及一收合位置之間滑動;一第一傘布,其中央固定於滑套;一第二傘布,其中央固定於頂端;以及複數個傘骨,其環設於第一傘布及第二傘布之間,並各具有一第一折桿及一第二折桿,其中,各第一折桿之一端係樞設於滑套,各第一折桿之另一端係連接於第一傘布及第二傘布之邊緣,各第二折桿之一端係樞設於頂端,各第二折桿之另一端係樞設於各第一折桿之中段處,當滑套位於開展位置時,該些第一折桿係朝底端張展,俾使第一傘布及第二傘布開展,當滑套位於收合位置時,該些第一折桿係朝頂端收折,俾使第一傘布及第二傘布收合;以及複數個拉伸元件,其環設於第一傘布及第二傘布之間,且各拉伸元件之一端係一對一連接於各第一折桿,各拉伸元件之另一端係連接於滑套,當滑套位於開展位置時,各拉伸元件係位於各第一折桿下方,使各第一折桿受各拉伸元件之拉力而朝主桿方向拉引。In order to achieve the above object, the anti-folding umbrella device of the present invention has a windproof effect, comprising: a main rod having a top end and a bottom end; a sliding sleeve sleeved on the main rod and being in a developing position And sliding between a folding position; a first umbrella cloth, the center of which is fixed to the sliding sleeve; a second umbrella cloth, the center of which is fixed to the top end; and a plurality of ribs, the ring is set on the first umbrella cloth and the first Between the two umbrellas, each having a first folding rod and a second folding rod, wherein one end of each of the first folding rods is pivotally disposed on the sliding sleeve, and the other end of each of the first folding rods is connected to the first An edge of the umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth, one end of each of the second folding rods is pivotally disposed at the top end, and the other end of each of the second folding rods is pivotally disposed at an intermediate portion of each of the first folding rods, when the sliding sleeve is at the developing position When the first folding bar is stretched toward the bottom end, the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth are carried out. When the sliding sleeve is in the folding position, the first folding rods are folded toward the top end, Folding the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth; and a plurality of stretching elements, the ring is disposed between the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth, and each stretching element is The end of the one end is connected to each of the first folding rods, and the other end of each tensile element is connected to the sliding sleeve. When the sliding sleeve is in the developing position, each tensile element is located below each of the first folding rods, so that each A folding rod is pulled toward the main rod by the tensile force of each tensile element.
藉此,當第一傘布及第二傘布開展時,本發明藉由該些拉伸元件之彈性拉力,可將各傘骨之第一折桿朝主桿方向拉引,以令第一傘布及第二傘布與主桿之夾角縮小,故本發明之反折傘具其傘面開展時,不僅可令整體傘面與主桿之夾角縮小,更可防止強大風阻下傘面發生翻折之情形,藉以達到防風之功效,避免各傘骨因傘面翻折而折損。Thereby, when the first umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth are developed, the first pulling rod of each rib is pulled toward the main rod by the elastic pulling force of the stretching elements, so that the first The angle between the umbrella cloth and the second umbrella cloth and the main rod is reduced. Therefore, when the umbrella surface of the reversing umbrella device of the present invention is developed, the angle between the whole umbrella surface and the main rod can be reduced, and the umbrella surface under strong wind resistance can be prevented from occurring. In the case of folding, the windproof effect can be achieved, and the ribs are prevented from being broken due to the folding of the umbrella surface.

以上為本發明之相關概述,並將本發明之運作方法及所能達成之功效原理陳述如下:The above is a related overview of the present invention, and the operation method of the present invention and the efficacies that can be achieved are as follows:
當使用者欲使用本發明之反折傘具100時,首先,將滑套20由收合位置滑動至開展位置時,即可連動各第一折桿60及各第二折桿70作動,令各傘骨50係朝主桿10之底端12張展,俾使第一傘布30及第二傘布40開展,如圖1及圖6所示,此時,第二傘布40之傘面係朝外,第一傘布30之傘面係朝內,故雨水係落於第二傘布40之傘面上。When the user wants to use the folding umbrella 100 of the present invention, firstly, when the sliding sleeve 20 is slid from the folding position to the developing position, the first folding lever 60 and the second folding lever 70 can be interlocked to operate. Each of the ribs 50 is stretched toward the bottom end 12 of the main pole 10, so that the first umbrella cloth 30 and the second umbrella cloth 40 are carried out, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, at this time, the umbrella of the second umbrella cloth 40 The face is facing outward, and the umbrella surface of the first umbrella cloth 30 is facing inward, so the rainwater falls on the umbrella surface of the second umbrella cloth 40.
此外,此時各拉伸元件80係位於各第一折桿60下方,使各第一折桿60受各拉伸元件80之拉力而朝主桿10方向拉引,並係拉引呈微彎狀,如圖6所示,藉以令第一傘布30及第二傘布40與主桿10之夾角縮小,因此,反折傘具100其傘面開展時,不僅可令整體傘面與主桿10之夾角縮小,更可防止強大風阻下傘面發生翻折之情形,藉以達到防風之功效,避免各傘骨50因傘面翻折而折損。In addition, at this time, each of the tensile elements 80 is located below each of the first folding rods 60, so that each of the first folding rods 60 is pulled toward the main rod 10 by the tensile force of each tensile element 80, and is drawn to be slightly curved. As shown in FIG. 6, the angle between the first umbrella cloth 30 and the second umbrella cloth 40 and the main pole 10 is reduced. Therefore, when the umbrella surface of the folding umbrella unit 100 is developed, not only the entire umbrella surface but also the main umbrella surface The angle of the rod 10 is reduced, and the folding of the umbrella surface under the strong wind resistance can be prevented, thereby achieving the effect of preventing wind, and the ribs 50 are prevented from being broken due to the folding of the umbrella surface.
而當使用完畢欲使傘面收合時,再將滑套20由開展位置滑動至收合位置時,即可連動各第一折桿60及各第二折桿70作動,令各傘骨50係朝主桿10之頂端11收折,俾使第一傘布30及第二傘布40收合,如圖7所示,而此時由於第一傘布30及第二傘布40整體係呈現由下往上之方式收合,故沾滿雨水之第二傘布40即可收合於第一傘布30內,以防止雨水四處滴落之情形,之後再將反折傘具100之整體傘身旋轉,將第一傘布30捲覆,並以綁帶31固定即可。When the use of the umbrella surface is to be folded, when the sliding sleeve 20 is slid from the developing position to the folding position, the first folding rods 60 and the second folding rods 70 can be interlocked to actuate the ribs 50. The first umbrella cloth 30 and the second umbrella cloth 40 are folded together as shown in FIG. 7 , and the first umbrella cloth 30 and the second umbrella cloth 40 are integrally folded. The second umbrella cloth 40 covered with rainwater can be folded in the first umbrella cloth 30 to prevent the rain from falling around, and then the folding umbrella device 100 can be folded. The entire umbrella body is rotated, and the first umbrella cloth 30 is wound up and fixed by the straps 31.
