- FIG. 18 is a front elevation of yet another embodiment of the handle.
- FIG. I9 is a perspective view representing the umbrella with handle according to the first embodiment, in an erected condition.
- FIG. 20 is an exploded cross section of yet another embodiment of the handle.
- the umbrella includes stick I. This consists of three telescopic members 2, 3 and 4, which slide into each other. In the extended position, these are secured by spring lock 5. Telescopic member 2 has the largest diameter. Into this slides telescopic member 3 which has a correspondingly smaller diame ter. Telescopic member 4 is constructed for preference as a short extension tube and slides into telescopic member 3, and has the smallest diameter.
- crown 6 At one end of stick 1 is fitted crown 6.
- dome ribs 9 In the so-called flat umbrellas, this has a rectangular cross section. Dome ribs 9 are pivotally joined to diametrically opposed narrow lateral extensions 7 and 8. All the dome ribs 9 are of the same length. In the expanded position of the umbrella, dome ribs 9 are supported by struts 10. These supporting struts 10 are pivotally connected with dome ribs 9 at pivotal points 11. The ends of supporting struts I0 toward the stick are pivoted to runner 12. The shape of runner 12 is appropriately adapted to the flat shape of the umbrella and corresponds to crown 6 and is pro vided with a guiding sleeve 12' which is fitted with runner lock lever 13.
- the guiding sleeve 12' of runner I2 is provided with diametrically opposed lateral extensions 14 and 15 which extend beyond the overall flat cross section and which provide support means for supporting struts 10. In the longitudinally collapsed condition, thus guiding sleeve 12' enters into a central recess 16 which is provided in handle 17 which in turn is secured to stick 1.
- Handle 17 is provided with carrying strap 18.
- the end sections 18' of the carrying strap 18 are attached in the cavities defined in the handle, which in turn is covered by means of a trough-shaped cover member 19.
- Cover member 19 is provided with two slots 20 (FIG. 3) for passing the end sections 18' of the carrying strap. Studs 21, are positioned within the cavity of the handle at right angles to the plane of the cover member 19.
- the end sections 18' of the carrying straps 18 each have apertures and are inserted over the respective studs 21.
- the ends 18' of the carrying strap 18 are secured to the studs by means of split-ring washers 22 as shown in FIG. 3.
- These split rings 22 are positioned at an angle to the axis of the stud 21 so that their outside edges support the corresponding angular edges of carrying strap end section 18' in the vicinity of the slots 20, in order to ensure that covering member 19 is not affected by any forces which originate from the carrying straps.
- Studs 21 are constructed of the same material as the handle. Each stud 21 extends from the base of respective annular recesses 34 and extends through the so-formed cavity.
- the handle 17 also includes lateral extensions corresponding to the lateral extensions of the runners and the crown 6. On these lateral extensions are provided generally laterally extending shoulders 30 and stepped from the shoulders 30 are axially extending lip members 26.
- stick 1 In the center of the handle, stick 1, i.e., its short extension tube 4 is connected to the handle by means of a pin 27. Cover member 19 also hides this connection.
- Cover member 19 which is preferably ofa suitable plastic is secured upon the handle 17 by means of a snap lock by virtue of its inherent resiliency. It is provided with a peripheral rim 28 and inwardly extending projections 29. The edge 19' of the cover plate snaps over lip member 26 and against shoulder 30 of the handle 17.
- FIGS. 8 to shows a similar handle 18, but with a different type of carrying strap connection. Studs 31 are provided with external threads. Carrying strap 18 is provided with an aperture and thereby anchored over the studs 31 by means of nuts 32. Screwnuts 32 are provided with groove 33 for the appropriate application of a screwdriver. All the other technical characteristics of the handle correspond to those of the foregoing embodiment, therefore, identical reference numbers are used. Naturally, screws engaging threaded recesses in the handle could also be used.
- FIGS. 11 to 13 shows another variation of a flat umbrella handle with carrying strap.
- Carrying strap end 18 passes through openings 34 which are positioned laterally and at each end of the lateral extensions of handle 17.
- Recesses 35 are also provided on the end of the lateral extensions adjacent the openings 34.
- the recesses 35 are somewhat aligned with the slots in the cover member 19.
- the ends 18' of the carrying strap 18, therefore. pass through the slot 20, recess 35, opening 34 and over the stud 21.
- a split-ring washer 22, similar to that shown in FIG. 4 is used to secure the end 18' of the carrying strap.
- FIGS. 14 through 18 shows a round umbrella which has a handle 36
- the means for anchoring the carrying strap 37 may be also hidden by a cover member 38 defining a cavity 39 with the handle 36.
- the stick 1 provides the anchorage point, thus the stick 1 penetrates through the body of the handle and its end which penetrates into cavity 39 is flattened as shown in FIG. 15 to accommodate the ends 37 of the carrying strap 37.
- a hollow rivet 40 serves to secure carrying straps 37 to the stick.
- the carrying strap 37 projects in the axial direction of the stick and passes through slot 41 in cover member 38. This arrangement ensures that cover member 38 remains free from any stresses imposed upon the handle.
- the securing arrangement of the cover plate itself is provided by either a continuous or an interrupted annular rib 42 which interacts with an annular continuous or interrupted groove 43 arranged upon the body of the handle.
- the carrying strap 37 is arranged radially to the axis of the end of the handle.
- the handle body is provided with a slot 45 for passing the carrying strap ends 37 which are laid upon each other. These are anchored within cavity 39 by a threaded pin 46 and secured by means of screwnut 46'. Between nut 46' and the end sections of the carrying straps is located washer 46". Screw tap 46 forms a part of insert 47 which is located within the free end of the stick. Securing pin 48 is provided to fasten the handle upon the stick.
- FIG. 18 relates to the radial arrangement of the carrying straps wherein a centrally located snap lock is provided between the handle and cover member 48.
- Cover member 48 is provided with a locking projection 49, a annular groove 51 is defined near the end of the projection 49 and mates with an annular rib 50 in the cylindrical wall 52 which is arranged centrally of the body of the handle.
- the free end of the projection is given a convex design.
- a locking screw 53 secures the carrying strap end sections 37' upon the body of the handle.
- the collapsed umbrella may be fitted into an appropriate carrying case according to its either flat or round shape.
- carrying case 51 is shown (FIG. 1), this being suitable for a flat umbrella.
- the insertion opening of the carrying case can be closed by means of flap 55 provided with a press button, which in turn interacts with a corresponding press-button receiver arranged upon the body of the carrying case.
- the embodiment according to FIG. 20 relates to a further simplification of the handle design shown in FIGS. 3 to 11.
- the strap ends are secured by female snap-lock arrangements 57 which are integral with cover member 19 and which mate with corresponding male snap-lock projections 58 integral with the handle body in such a manner that the cover member 19 which serves to hide the handle-anchoring arrangement will simultaneously provide the anchorage for the ends of the carrying strap 18 as well.
- a further snap-lock arrangement is provided by snap-lock projection 59 around the end of the stick 1 which in turn interacts with snap-lock receiver 60 upon cover member 19, whereby the cover member may be locked into position.
- Snap-lock arrangement 57 and 60 may be used either alone or in connection with a further snap connection 28, 29.
- the carrying strap 18 is shown projecting from the slots 20 almost at the ends of the lateral extensions of the handle 17.
- the slots also act as guides in order to retain the flexible carrying strap in an open loop such as shown in FIG. 1. This again presents an advantage in that the carrying strap 18 is always in a somewhat open condition and is readily seized by an umbrella user, as opposed to the flat loop which has to first be opened.
- a handle for an umbrella comprising means for receiving an umbrella stick, a handle gripping portion, cover portion connected to the handle gripping portion, a flexible carrying strap, said cover portion and said handle gripping portion defining a cavity, means in said cavity for attaching said carrying strap whereby the carrying strap attachment means is within the confines of said handle, the cover including snap lock means engaged with the gripping portion of said handle, said handle gripping portion including a pair of spaced-apart slots, said carrying strap having opposite end portions respectively extending through one of the spaced-apart slots, the handle including two diametrically spaced-apart recesses in the gripping portion of the handle defining said cavity, studs integral with said gripping portion and extending axially from said recesses, the carrying strap having end portions respectively engaging said studs, and fastener means engaging said studs and securing the strap ends thereto.
- a handle as defined in claim 1 wherein the fastening means is a split ring adapted to fit and lock over the studs.
