Description

折り畳み傘Folding umbrella
　本発明は、折り畳み傘に関する。 The present invention relates to a folding umbrella.
　従来、簡易的に使用される傘として、一対の平板状部材を棒状軸に対して回動自在に取り付けた傘が提案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。この傘は、取っ手を握って棒状軸を降雨方向にかざすと、一対の平板状部材が所定の角度で垂れ下がり、傘状となる。また、取っ手を握って棒状軸を地面方向にかざすと、一対の平板状部材が互いに向き合うように折り畳まれる。 Conventionally, as an umbrella that is simply used, an umbrella in which a pair of flat plate-shaped members are rotatably attached to a rod-shaped shaft has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). When the handle is held and the rod-shaped shaft is held over the rain direction, a pair of flat plate-shaped members hang down at a predetermined angle to form an umbrella. Further, when the handle is held and the rod-shaped shaft is held toward the ground, the pair of flat plate-shaped members are folded so as to face each other.

The material constituting the handle 10 and the rib 20 is not limited to the above example, and other materials not illustrated can be used as long as they satisfy the conditions for being used as the folding umbrella 1.
　傘地３０は、図２に示すように、折り畳み傘１の使用状態において、略円形状に展開して親骨等２０を覆う部材である。傘地３０は、親骨等２０に、例えば、接着剤により接合される。傘地３０は、親骨２０においては、前述したように、板材１２０の上辺部１２０ａに接合される（図３参照）。また、傘地３０は、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２においては、後述するように、側面に沿って斜めに接合される。傘地３０は、折り畳み傘１を使用状態として、親骨等２０を放射状に配列させた状態で接合される。そのため、折り畳み傘１を使用状態となるように広げて、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合させることにより、親骨等２０は、図２に示すように、放射状に配列する。なお、図１では図示を省略しているが、図２に示すように、傘地３０には、隣接する親骨２０の間に折り線３１が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the umbrella base 30 is a member that expands into a substantially circular shape and covers the ribs and the like 20 in the state of using the folding umbrella 1. The umbrella base 30 is joined to the ribs and the like 20 by, for example, an adhesive. In the rib 20, the umbrella base 30 is joined to the upper side portion 120a of the plate member 120 as described above (see FIG. 3). Further, the umbrella base 30 is obliquely joined along the side surface of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 as described later. The umbrella base 30 is joined in a state where the ribs and the like 20 are arranged radially with the folding umbrella 1 in use. Therefore, by unfolding the folding umbrella 1 so as to be in a usable state and engaging the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22, the ribs and the like 20 are radially arranged as shown in FIG. Arrange. Although not shown in FIG. 1, as shown in FIG. 2, a fold line 31 is formed between the adjacent ribs 20 in the umbrella base 30.
　傘地３０は、各種の紙材、フィルム材、無機材料と樹脂との複合体等により構成される。折り畳み傘１を雨天用又は晴雨兼用の傘として構成する場合、傘地３０は、撥水性を有する材料で構成することが望ましい。一方、折り畳み傘１を晴天用の日傘として構成する場合、傘地３０は、紫外線を反射する材料又は紫外線が透過しにくい材料で構成することが望ましい。傘地３０は、無彩色でもよいし、着色されていてもよい。また、傘地３０をフィルム材で構成した場合、傘地３０は、透明又は半透明であってもよい。傘地３０の厚みは、例えば、０．０２５～０．１ｍｍ程度である。この数値は、あくまで一例であり、この例に限定されない。なお、傘地３０を構成する材料についても、上記の例に限らず、折り畳み傘１として使用可能な条件を満たしていれば、例示していない他の材料を用いることができる。 The umbrella base 30 is composed of various paper materials, film materials, composites of inorganic materials and resins, and the like. When the folding umbrella 1 is configured as an umbrella for both rainy weather or sunny rain, it is desirable that the umbrella base 30 is made of a water-repellent material. On the other hand, when the folding umbrella 1 is configured as a parasol for fine weather, it is desirable that the umbrella base 30 is made of a material that reflects ultraviolet rays or a material that does not easily transmit ultraviolet rays. The umbrella base 30 may be achromatic or colored. Further, when the umbrella base 30 is made of a film material, the umbrella base 30 may be transparent or translucent. The thickness of the umbrella base 30 is, for example, about 0.025 to 0.1 mm. This numerical value is just an example and is not limited to this example. The material constituting the umbrella base 30 is not limited to the above example, and other materials not illustrated can be used as long as the conditions for use as the folding umbrella 1 are satisfied.
　次に、柄１０、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２の構成について説明する。図５Ａは、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１との接合形態を示す斜視図である。図５Ｂは、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１との他の接合形態を示す斜視図である。図５Ａ及び図５Ｂに示す各分図では、第１係合親骨２１と連結されている他の親骨２０、第２係合親骨２２等の図示を省略している。図６Ａは、折り畳み傘１を図４のＹ１側からＹ２側に見た時の側面図である。図６Ｂは、柄１０を折り畳んだ状態を示す側面図である。図６Ａ及び図６Ｂに示す各分図では、傘地３０の図示を省略している。図７Ａは、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の先端部での係合を説明する斜視図である。図７Ｂは、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の中間部での係合を説明する側面図である。 Next, the configurations of the handle 10, the first engaging rib 21, and the second engaging rib 22 will be described. FIG. 5A is a perspective view showing a joint form between the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21. FIG. 5B is a perspective view showing another joint form between the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21. In each of the sub-figures shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the other ribs 20 connected to the first engaging rib 21, the second engaging rib 22, and the like are not shown. FIG. 6A is a side view of the folding umbrella 1 when viewed from the Y1 side to the Y2 side of FIG. FIG. 6B is a side view showing a state in which the handle 10 is folded. In each of the sub-figures shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the illustration of the umbrella base 30 is omitted. FIG. 7A is a perspective view illustrating the engagement of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 at the tip end portion. FIG. 7B is a side view illustrating the engagement between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 at the intermediate portion.
　図５Ａに示すように、柄１０のＺ１側の端部には、折り返し部１１が形成されている。折り返し部１１は、柄１０を、第１係合親骨２１に対して使用状態とは異なる方向に折り返し可能にする機構である。図５Ａに示す折り返し部１１は、柄１０のＸ２側の面からＸ１側の面に向けて形成された切り込みである。この切り込みは、少なくとも、柄１０の厚み方向（Ｘ方向）の半分の位置まで形成されている。柄１０において、折り返し部１１よりも上側（Ｚ１側）の領域１１ａは、第１係合親骨２１の接着領域２１ｂに、例えば、接着剤（不図示）により接合される。なお、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１は、接着剤の代わりに、例えば、両面テープで接合してもよいし、リベット等の部品を用いて接合してもよい。 As shown in FIG. 5A, a folded-back portion 11 is formed at the end portion of the handle 10 on the Z1 side. The folded-back portion 11 is a mechanism that allows the handle 10 to be folded back with respect to the first engaging rib 21 in a direction different from the used state. The folded-back portion 11 shown in FIG. 5A is a notch formed from the surface of the handle 10 on the X2 side toward the surface on the X1 side. This notch is formed up to at least half of the thickness direction (X direction) of the handle 10. In the handle 10, the region 11a on the upper side (Z1 side) of the folded-back portion 11 is joined to the adhesive region 21b of the first engaging rib 21 by, for example, an adhesive (not shown). The handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21 may be joined by, for example, double-sided tape or parts such as rivets instead of the adhesive.
　また、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１は、着脱自在となるように接合してもよい。図５Ｂに示す接合形態では、柄１０において、折り返し部１１よりも上側（Ｚ１側）の領域１１ｂには、面ファスナー４１が設けられている。一方、第１係合親骨２１の対向する領域１１ｃには、面ファスナー４２が設けられている。本形態において、柄１０の領域１１ｂに設けられた面ファスナー４１と、第１係合親骨２１の領域１１ｃに設けられた面ファスナー４２とを密着させることにより、柄１０を第１係合親骨２１に着脱自在に接合できる。 Further, the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21 may be joined so as to be detachable. In the joining form shown in FIG. 5B, the hook-and-loop fastener 41 is provided in the region 11b above (Z1 side) of the folded-back portion 11 in the handle 10. On the other hand, a hook-and-loop fastener 42 is provided in the facing region 11c of the first engaging rib 21. In the present embodiment, the hook-and-loop fastener 41 provided in the region 11b of the handle 10 and the hook-and-loop fastener 42 provided in the region 11c of the first engaging rib 21 are brought into close contact with each other to attach the handle 10 to the first engaging rib 21. Can be detachably joined to.
　本形態によれば、折り畳み傘１を使用状態にする際に、面ファスナー４１及び４２を介して、柄１０を第１係合親骨２１に接合することにより、柄１０を、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２の長手方向に対して直交する位置に固定できる。また、折り畳み傘１を折り畳み状態にする際には、柄１０の面ファスナー４１を第１係合親骨２１の面ファスナー４２から引き剥がすことにより、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１とを分離できる。分離した柄１０は、例えば、折り畳んだ親骨等２０と積層してもよい。その際、柄１０を第１係合親骨２１の長手方向に沿うように積層することにより、柄１０の面ファスナー４１と第１係合親骨２１の面ファスナー４２の一部とを互いに密着させることができる。そのため、柄１０を折り畳んだ親骨等２０に接合した状態で持ち運ぶことができる。 According to this embodiment, when the folding umbrella 1 is put into use, the handle 10 is joined to the first engaging rib 21 via the hook-and- loop fasteners 41 and 42, so that the handle 10 is attached to the first engaging rib 21. It can be fixed at a position orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the 21 and the second engaging rib 22. Further, when the folding umbrella 1 is put into the folded state, the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21 can be separated by peeling the hook-and-loop fastener 41 of the handle 10 from the hook-and-loop fastener 42 of the first engaging rib 21. .. The separated handle 10 may be laminated with, for example, a folded rib 20 or the like. At that time, by laminating the handle 10 along the longitudinal direction of the first engaging rib 21, the surface fastener 41 of the handle 10 and a part of the surface fastener 42 of the first engaging rib 21 are brought into close contact with each other. Can be done. Therefore, the handle 10 can be carried in a state of being joined to the folded ribs and the like 20.
　本形態において、面ファスナーが、例えば、フック（Ｈｏｏｋ）面とループ（Ｌｏｏｐ）面とで構成される場合、面ファスナー４１と４２との関係は、互いに反対形の機能面となる。すなわち、面ファスナー４１がフック面であれば、面ファスナー４２はループ面となり、面ファスナー４１がループ面であれば、面ファスナー４２はフック面となる。また、両面が同一形状となる面ファスナーの場合、面ファスナー４１及び４２は、それぞれ同一の機能面となる。なお、柄１０を第１係合親骨２１に着脱自在に接合する形態は、面ファスナーに限らず、例えば、スナップ式のフックでもよい。また、第１係合親骨２１の端部に、細長い差し込み穴を有するポケット部（不図示）を設け、その中に柄１０を差し込む形態としてもよい。このように、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１は、互いに固定されるように連結してもよいし、着脱自在に連結してもよい。すなわち、柄１０と第１係合親骨２１を連結する構成は、どのような形態であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, when the hook-and-loop fastener is composed of, for example, a hook surface and a loop surface, the relationship between the surface fasteners 41 and 42 is a functional surface having opposite shapes. That is, if the surface fastener 41 is a hook surface, the surface fastener 42 is a loop surface, and if the surface fastener 41 is a loop surface, the surface fastener 42 is a hook surface. Further, in the case of a hook-and-loop fastener having the same shape on both sides, the hook-and- loop fasteners 41 and 42 have the same functional surface, respectively. The form in which the handle 10 is detachably joined to the first engaging rib 21 is not limited to the hook-and-loop fastener, and may be, for example, a snap-type hook. Further, a pocket portion (not shown) having an elongated insertion hole may be provided at the end portion of the first engaging rib 21, and the handle 10 may be inserted into the pocket portion (not shown). In this way, the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21 may be connected so as to be fixed to each other, or may be detachably connected to each other. That is, the configuration for connecting the handle 10 and the first engaging rib 21 may be in any form.
　折り畳み傘１を使用状態とする場合、図６Ａに示すように、柄１０を、折り返し部１１の位置でＺ方向（Ｚ２方向）に折り返すことにより、柄１０を第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２の長手方向に対して直交する位置に移動できる。また、折り畳み傘１を折り畳み状態とする場合、図６Ｂに示すように、柄１０を、折り返し部１１の位置でＹ方向（Ｙ１方向）に折り返すことにより、第１係合親骨２１の長手方向（Ｙ方向）と平行に折り畳むことができる。すなわち、折り畳み状態において、柄１０は、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２に対して使用状態の時とは異なる方向に折り返される。 When the folding umbrella 1 is in use, as shown in FIG. 6A, the handle 10 is folded back in the Z direction (Z2 direction) at the position of the folded portion 11, so that the handle 10 is folded into the first engaging rib 21 and the second. It can be moved to a position orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the engaging rib 22. Further, when the folding umbrella 1 is in the folded state, as shown in FIG. 6B, the handle 10 is folded back in the Y direction (Y1 direction) at the position of the folded portion 11 in the longitudinal direction of the first engaging rib 21 (in the Y1 direction). It can be folded parallel to the Y direction). That is, in the folded state, the handle 10 is folded back with respect to the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 in a direction different from that in the used state.
　図６Ａに示すように、第１係合親骨２１の一方の側面２１ａ（図中、裏面側）には、傘地３０が接合される。傘地３０は、第１係合親骨２１の一方の側面２１ａにおいて、根本側（Ｙ２側から先端側（Ｙ１側）に向けて下方に傾斜するように接合される。また、傘地３０は、第２係合親骨２２の一方の側面２２ａ（図中、裏面側）において、根本側（Ｙ１側）から先端側（Ｙ２側）に向けて下方に傾斜するように接合される。 As shown in FIG. 6A, the umbrella base 30 is joined to one side surface 21a (back side in the drawing) of the first engaging rib 21. The umbrella base 30 is joined on one side surface 21a of the first engaging rib 21 so as to incline downward from the root side (Y2 side to the tip side (Y1 side)). On one side surface 22a (back side in the drawing) of the second engaging rib 22, the joint is joined so as to incline downward from the root side (Y1 side) to the tip side (Y2 side).
　図６Ａに示すように、第１係合親骨２１のＹ１側の端部には、第１係合部１２１が設けられている。第１係合部１２１は、第２係合親骨２２の第２係合部１２２（後述）と係合する切り欠き状の部分である。第１係合部１２１は、中央に丸穴１２１ａが形成され、上側（Ｚ１側）に向けて開口している。また、第１係合親骨２１のＹ１側とＹ２側との中間位置には、第３係合部１２３が設けられている。第３係合部１２３は、Ｙ方向に沿って形成されたスリットである。第３係合部１２３には、第２係合親骨２２の第４係合部１２４（後述）が嵌め込まれる。 As shown in FIG. 6A, a first engaging portion 121 is provided at an end portion of the first engaging rib 21 on the Y1 side. The first engaging portion 121 is a notch-shaped portion that engages with the second engaging portion 122 (described later) of the second engaging rib 22. The first engaging portion 121 has a round hole 121a formed in the center and opens toward the upper side (Z1 side). Further, a third engaging portion 123 is provided at an intermediate position between the Y1 side and the Y2 side of the first engaging rib 21. The third engaging portion 123 is a slit formed along the Y direction. The fourth engaging portion 124 (described later) of the second engaging rib 22 is fitted into the third engaging portion 123.
　第２係合親骨２２のＹ２側の端部には、第２係合部１２２が設けられている。第２係合部１２２は、第１係合親骨２１の第１係合部１２１と係合する切り欠き状の部分である。第２係合部１２２は、中央に丸穴１２２ａが形成され、下側（Ｚ２側）に向けて開口している。また、第２係合親骨２２のＹ２側とＹ１側との中間位置には、第４係合部１２４が設けられている。第４係合部１２４は、Ｚ２側に向けて突出した係合片である。第４係合部１２４は、第１係合親骨２１の第３係合部１２３に嵌め込まれる。 A second engaging portion 122 is provided at the end on the Y2 side of the second engaging rib 22. The second engaging portion 122 is a notch-shaped portion that engages with the first engaging portion 121 of the first engaging rib 21. The second engaging portion 122 has a round hole 122a formed in the center and opens toward the lower side (Z2 side). Further, a fourth engaging portion 124 is provided at an intermediate position between the Y2 side and the Y1 side of the second engaging rib 22. The fourth engaging portion 124 is an engaging piece that protrudes toward the Z2 side. The fourth engaging portion 124 is fitted into the third engaging portion 123 of the first engaging rib 21.
　第１係合親骨２１の第１係合部１２１と、第２係合親骨２２の第２係合部１２２は、図７Ａに示すように、互いに嵌め合うように連結される。これにより、使用状態において、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の先端部が閉じられる。このように、第１係合親骨２１の第１係合部１２１と、第２係合親骨２２の第２係合部１２２は、親骨等２０の先端部で第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合する手段となる。 As shown in FIG. 7A, the first engaging portion 121 of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging portion 122 of the second engaging rib 22 are connected so as to fit each other. As a result, the tips of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 are closed in the used state. As described above, the first engaging portion 121 of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging portion 122 of the second engaging rib 22 are the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 21 at the tip of the rib and the like 20. It serves as a means for engaging the engaging rib 22.
　第１係合親骨２１の丸穴１２１ａ及び第２係合親骨２２の丸穴１２２ａは、同じ大きさとなるように構成されている。また、各丸穴は、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２を係合させた時の厚さ方向（Ｘ方向）において、中心の位置が一致するように設けられている。そのため、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合させると、図７Ａに示すように、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２の先端部に、貫通した丸穴２０ｈが形成される。そのため、図６Ｂに示すように、柄１０の対応する位置に二点鎖線で示すような丸穴１０ｈを形成しておけば、丸穴２０ｈと１０ｈとを貫通させることができる。これにより、例えば、丸穴２０ｈ及び１０ｈをフック（不図示）に引っ掛けることにより、折り畳み傘１をフックに吊り下げることができる。また、例えば、丸穴２０ｈ及び１０ｈに紐（不図示）を通すことにより、複数本の折り畳み傘１を１本の紐で束ねることができる。 The round hole 121a of the first engaging rib 21 and the round hole 122a of the second engaging rib 22 are configured to have the same size. Further, each round hole is provided so that the positions of the centers coincide with each other in the thickness direction (X direction) when the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 are engaged. Therefore, when the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 are engaged with each other, as shown in FIG. 7A, a circle penetrating the tips of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 A hole 20h is formed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6B, if the round hole 10h as shown by the alternate long and short dash line is formed at the corresponding position of the handle 10, the round holes 20h and 10h can be penetrated. Thereby, for example, the folding umbrella 1 can be hung on the hook by hooking the round holes 20h and 10h on the hook (not shown). Further, for example, by passing a string (not shown) through the round holes 20h and 10h, a plurality of folding umbrellas 1 can be bundled with one string.
　一方、第１係合親骨２１の第３係合部１２３と、第２係合親骨２２の第４係合部１２４は、図７Ｂに示すように、互いに嵌め合うように連結される。具体的には、第２係合親骨２２の第４係合部１２４（係合片）が第１係合親骨２１の第３係合部１２３（スリット）に嵌め込まれる。これにより、使用状態において、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の中間部が閉じられる。このように、第１係合親骨２１の第３係合部１２３と、第２係合親骨２２の第４係合部１２４は、親骨等２０の中間部で第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合する手段となる。 On the other hand, the third engaging portion 123 of the first engaging rib 21 and the fourth engaging portion 124 of the second engaging rib 22 are connected so as to fit each other as shown in FIG. 7B. Specifically, the fourth engaging portion 124 (engaging piece) of the second engaging rib 22 is fitted into the third engaging portion 123 (slit) of the first engaging rib 21. As a result, the intermediate portion between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 is closed in the used state. As described above, the third engaging portion 123 of the first engaging rib 21 and the fourth engaging portion 124 of the second engaging rib 22 are the intermediate portions of the ribs and the like 20 and are the first engaging rib 21 and the second. It serves as a means for engaging the engaging rib 22.
　折り畳み傘１を使用状態とした時に、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の先端部を閉じることにより、使用中に親骨等２０が折り畳み状態に遷移してしまうことを抑制できる。また、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の先端部を閉じることにより、柄１０は、折り返し部１１の位置からＹ１方向への折り返しが規制される。そのため、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２との間に挟まれた柄１０を確実に固定できる。一方、折り畳み傘１を折り畳み状態とした時に、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の先端部を閉じることにより、親骨等２０が不用意に開いてしまうことを抑制できる。 By closing the tips of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 when the folding umbrella 1 is in use, it is possible to prevent the ribs and the like 20 from transitioning to the folded state during use. Further, by closing the tip portions of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22, the handle 10 is restricted from being folded back from the position of the folded-back portion 11 in the Y1 direction. Therefore, the handle 10 sandwiched between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 can be reliably fixed. On the other hand, when the folding umbrella 1 is in the folded state, by closing the tip portions of the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22, it is possible to prevent the ribs and the like 20 from being inadvertently opened.
　折り畳み傘１を使用状態とした時に、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の中間部を閉じることにより、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２との間に挟まれた柄１０をより確実に固定できる。また、折り畳み傘１を使用状態とした時に、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２の中間部を閉じることにより、係合させた第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２との隙間から雨水等が滴り落ちることを抑制できる。 When the folding umbrella 1 is in use, it is sandwiched between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 by closing the intermediate portion between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22. The handle 10 can be fixed more reliably. Further, when the folding umbrella 1 is in use, the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 are engaged by closing the intermediate portion between the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22. It is possible to prevent rainwater or the like from dripping from the gap between the two.
　なお、折り畳み傘１において、親骨等２０の先端部で第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合する手段と、親骨等２０の中間部で第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合する手段は、本実施形態のように両方備えることが望ましい。しかし、折り畳み傘１において、いずれか一方の手段のみを備えた構成としてもよい。また、上記以外の場所に、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２とを係合する手段を更に設けてもよい。 In the folding umbrella 1, the means for engaging the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 at the tip of the rib 20 and the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 21 at the intermediate portion of the rib 20 and the like. 2 It is desirable that both means for engaging the rib 22 are provided as in the present embodiment. However, the folding umbrella 1 may be configured to include only one of the means. Further, a means for engaging the first engaging rib 21 and the second engaging rib 22 may be further provided at a place other than the above.
　次に、親骨等２０の接合形態について説明する。
　図８Ａは、折り畳み傘１を使用状態とした場合の親骨等２０の平面図である。図８Ｂは、親骨等２０を閉じた場合の根元部分の拡大図である。図８Ａ及び図８Ｂでは、柄１０、傘地３０等の図示を省略している。また、図８Ａ及び図８Ｂでは、説明を容易にするため、特定の親骨については、他の親骨と区別するため、２０ａ、２０ｂの符号を付している。 Next, the joint form of 20 such as ribs will be described.
FIG. 8A is a plan view of the ribs and the like 20 when the folding umbrella 1 is in use. FIG. 8B is an enlarged view of the root portion when the ribs and the like 20 are closed. In FIGS. 8A and 8B, the handle 10, the umbrella base 30, and the like are not shown. Further, in FIGS. 8A and 8B, in order to facilitate explanation, specific ribs are designated by reference numerals 20a and 20b in order to distinguish them from other ribs.
　図８Ａに示すように、各親骨２０の板材１２０は、根元側の端部に折り曲げ部１２０ｂを備えている。折り曲げ部１２０ｂは、板材１２０の根本側の端部がＶ字形に折り曲げられた部分である。折り曲げ部１２０ｂは、隣接する他の親骨２０（板材１２０）の根本側の端部に接合されている。このうち、親骨２０ａの板材１２０に設けられた折り曲げ部１２０ｂは、隣接する第１係合親骨２１の根本側の端部に接合されている。また、親骨２０ｂの板材１２０は、隣接する第２係合親骨２２の側面に接合されている。それぞれの折り曲げ部１２０ｂは、隣接する他の板材に、例えば、接着剤により接合されている。なお、第１係合親骨２１及び第２係合親骨２２には、折り曲げ部１２０ｂが設けられていない。そのため、第１係合親骨２１と第２係合親骨２２との間は、接合されていない。 As shown in FIG. 8A, the plate material 120 of each rib 20 is provided with a bent portion 120b at the end on the root side. The bent portion 120b is a portion in which the end portion on the root side of the plate member 120 is bent in a V shape.
