Abstract
An umbrella with illumination function comprises an umbrella cloth; a transparent post installed at a top of the umbrella cloth; at least one light emitting element being installed in the transparent post; a hollow body extended from a central portion of the umbrella cloth; a handle installed with a power supply at a top end thereof and a switch for switching the power supply; a conductive wire connected between the switch and the light emitting element; the conductive wire being installed within the hollow body; and a light reflecting unit installed at an inner side of the umbrella cloth. The light emitting element is installed to an upper side of the umbrella cloth so as to provide illumination to the user and thus keep the safety of the user in walking. An inner side of the umbrella cloth is installed with a light reflecting unit for providing a rearview to the user.
Description
- The present invention relates to umbrellas, and in particular to an umbrella with illumination function, in that a light emitting element is installed at an upper end of the umbrella cloth so as to provide illumination to the user and thus keep the safety of the user in walking. An inner side of the umbrella cloth is installed with a light reflecting unit for providing a rearview to the user.
- As a person walks in raining or dark, he (or she) generally holds a umbrella for rainproof. However, drivers can not clearly view the person holding the umbrella. As a result, some accidents occur due to this reason. Furthermore, as one holds the umbrella, no matter when he walks in daytime or dark area, no rearview is provided so that the user can not feel the status backsides. Thus, the user has no perfect safety in walking. The present invention serves to resolve above mentioned problem.
- Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella with illumination function, in that a light emitting element is installed to an upper side of the umbrella cloth so as to provide illumination to the user and thus keep the safety of the user in walking. An inner side of the umbrella cloth is installed with a light reflecting unit for providing a rearview to the user.
- To achieve above object, the present invention provides an umbrella with illumination function, comprising; an umbrella cloth; a transparent post installed at a top of the umbrella cloth; at least one light emitting element being installed in the transparent post; a hollow body extended from a central portion of the umbrella cloth; a handle installed with a power supply at a top end thereof and a switch for switching the power supply; a conductive wire connected between the switch and the light emitting element; the conductive wire being installed within the hollow body; and a light reflecting unit installed at an inner side of the umbrella cloth.
- Furthermore, the light emitting element is one of light emitting elements and a bubble. The light reflecting unit is a light reflecting sheet. The light reflecting unit is light reflecting cloth. An inner side of the umbrella cloth is installed with sticky unit; the light reflecting unit is installed with another sticky unit which is stuck to the sticking unit so that the light reflecting unit can be adhered to the umbrella cloth.
- The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended drawing.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the present invention. -
FIG. 3 is an assembled view of the present invention. -
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the present invention. -
FIG. 5 shows the use of the present invention. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view about another embodiment of the light reflecting unit of the present invention. - In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.
- With reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 , theumbrella body 1 of the present invention includes the following elements. - An
umbrella cloth 11 is included. - A top of the
umbrella cloth 11 is installed with atransparent post 12. At least onelight emitting element 13 is installed in thetransparent post 12. In this the present invention, thelight emitting element 13 may be light emitting elements or bubble. - A
hollow body 18 extends from a central portion of theumbrella cloth 11. - A
handle 14 is installed with apower supply 15 at a top end thereof and aswitch 16 for switching thepower supply 15. Referring toFIG. 3 , aconductive wire 17 is connected between theswitch 16 and thelight emitting element 13. Theconductive wire 17 is installed within thehollow body 18. - A
light reflecting unit 19 is installed at an inner side of theumbrella cloth 11. In this embodiment, thelight reflecting unit 19 is a light reflecting sheet, such as light reflecting cloth. - In use, as the
switch 16 is turned on, thelight emitting element 13 will light up to alert other people or drivers to keep attention to the user holding the umbrella. Thelight reflecting unit 19 can reflect light at the back side so that the user can take attention of the load state. As the umbrella is not used in raining day, thelight emitting element 13 can light to provide the function of illumination. Thus the present invention has the function of keeping the safety of the user. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , an exploded perspective view of thepower supply 15 of the present invention is illustrated. As illustrated in the drawing, thehandle 14 is formed with agroove 151 and acover 152 for covering thegroove 151. A contactelastic sheet 153 is installed within thegroove 151. Theelastic sheet 153 is in contact with a battery 154 (such as a cell or an alkaline battery). Theswitch 16 is installed at an upper side of thegroove 151 for actuating thebattery 154. - See
FIG. 5 , the application of the present invention is illustrated. In use, the user holds thehandle 14 of theumbrella body 1 for rainproof. In dark, theswitch 16 is actuated so that thepower supply 15 will supply power to thelight emitting element 13 to light up. Thetransparent post 12 will cause the light to emit out. As theumbrella body 1 is not used, the umbrella is closed, while it can be used as a light illuminator. Thelight reflecting unit 19 at the inner side of theumbrella cloth 11 can reflect the state at the backside of the user so that the user can view the state from thelight reflecting unit 19. Therefore, the user need not turn his (or her) head for seeing the rearview. Thelight reflecting unit 19 is as the rearview mirror of a car. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , an embodiment about thelight reflecting unit 19 of the present invention is illustrated. As illustrated in the drawing, an inner side of theumbrella cloth 11 is installed withsticky unit 111. Thelight reflecting unit 19 is installed with anothersticky unit 191 which is stuck to thesticking unit 111 so that thelight reflecting unit 19 can be adhered to theumbrella cloth 11. - The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
