  When you fold and carry an umbrella wet with rain, prepare a separate storage bag that fits the length of the umbrella to avoid the raindrop of the umbrella, and put the umbrella in this under the circumstances where it is raining When the user goes out, the storage bag must be carried separately from the umbrella, which is very complicated.

  Although the cover cap described in Patent Document 1 is easy to insert and remove a closed umbrella into and from a vinyl cover, the cover with a cylindrical cap at the tip must be held separately from the umbrella. There are problems such as forgetting to bring a cover. Further, simply inserting the tip of a closed umbrella into the hole of the cap with the vinyl cover may cause the vinyl cover to slip toward the cap at the tip. The long umbrella with a cover of Patent Document 2 has an advantage that the umbrella and the cover are integrated, but when the wet umbrella is closed and turned downward, the raindrops dripping from the umbrella's upholstery cloth are cup-shaped (mushroom-shaped) ) In the rain protection member, and the outer surface of the cylindrical cover that is contracted and held in the rain protection member becomes wet. In addition, when the umbrella is opened and used during rain, the tubular cover with a built-in tension spring is contracted and held at the tip of the umbrella, so that the umbrella itself becomes heavy.

  When the umbrella water droplet trapping device with the retractable umbrella sheet of Patent Document 3 is also closed with the umbrella closed, water accumulates in the case at the tip of the umbrella, shrinks in the case, and the retractable umbrella sheet is wetted. Since the retractable umbrella sheet storage case is held on the top of the umbrella when it is turned upward, there is a problem that the umbrella becomes heavy and lacks stability when holding the umbrella with one hand.

  The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned various problems and malfunctions, and shields rain, rain, etc. on the umbrella side cloth so that it does not wet the hands, clothes, baggage, etc. even when the umbrella is wet. It aims to provide a raindrop cover for an umbrella that can be.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a raindrop cover that does not obstruct the umbrella when the umbrella is opened, and the shielding sheath member of the raindrop fits compactly in the grip handle to the grip portion of the umbrella.

  The raindrop cover of the umbrella according to the present invention is capable of extending from the vicinity of the tension cloth fixing portion at the tip of the umbrella to the vicinity of the grip handle of the umbrella shaft in a state in which the tension cloth serving as a tent is folded along the central umbrella axis. A flexible stretchable sheath member, an annular reinforcing member provided at both end opening edges of the sheath member, and an anchoring means for anchoring the end of the sheath member on the grip handle to the grip handle, The inner diameter of the sheath member and the inner diameter of the annular reinforcing member are formed to an inner diameter that surrounds the outer diameter portion of the umbrella in a state where the tension cloth is folded in a loosely inserted state. It can be shrunk to the grip handle side.

  In addition, the raindrop cover of the umbrella according to another embodiment of the present invention is a grip handle of the umbrella shaft from a portion near the tension cloth fixing portion at the tip of the umbrella in a state where the tension cloth serving as a tent is folded along the central umbrella shaft. A flexible stretchable sheath member that extends to the vicinity, an annular reinforcing member provided at both ends of the sheath member, and a mooring means for anchoring the grip handle end of the sheath member to the grip handle And a flexible stretchable bag portion extending from the end of the flexible stretchable sheath member on the tip side of the umbrella, and the flexible stretchable bag portion is attached to the end portion of the flexible stretchable sheath member. The inner diameter of the sheath member and the inner diameter of the annular reinforcing member are partially separated so as to be openable and closable, so that the outer diameter portion of the umbrella in a state where the tension cloth is folded is surrounded by the loose insertion state. Is formed, by letting the umbrella tip through the separation opening of the separation part of the flexible elastic bag part, Kisaya member has become possible shrinkage from the umbrella tip side along with the bag portion to the gripping handle side.

  The raindrop cover according to the present invention can effectively shield the raindrop remaining on the umbrella fabric when the umbrella wet with rain is closed, and the handle of the umbrella even when the umbrella is opened. Can be accommodated compactly. Since the cover is held integrally with the umbrella, the cover is not forgotten or lost, and the operation of covering the side of the closed umbrella with the cover is very simple and quick.

  When the umbrella is opened, the flexible stretchable cover is held in a contracted state near the handle or grip of the umbrella, so that the umbrella can be opened to catch rain without breaking the balance of the umbrella. It does not get in the way.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the reinforcing ring 13 at the end of the sheath member on the tip side of the umbrella can be easily grasped by hand and pulled toward the base of the umbrella 10, that is, the grip handle 3 side. Then, the hand-side sheath member reinforcing ring 15 suspended by the string 17 is brought close to the grip portion side of the grip handle 3. The sheath member 12 has a hook shape or a bellows shape and contracts in the length direction, and is collected at the hand of the user who holds the umbrella 10 so as to be sandwiched between the reinforcing rings 13 and 15. FIG. 2 shows this state. In this state, the tying strip 8 is removed, and the ring body 6 (FIG. 3) on the umbrella shaft 1 is pushed toward the tip of the umbrella shaft so that the upholstery fabric 2 expands like a tent and the umbrella 10 is opened. Become. FIG. 3 shows this state.

  In the present invention, when the umbrella wet with rain is closed, the outside of the folded upholstery cloth gets wet with raindrops, and the hands, clothes, baggage, etc. that touch the upholstery cloth may be soiled. In such a case, by extending one reinforcing ring of the sheath member 12 contracted by the grip portion of the gripping handle, specifically, the reinforcing ring 13 on the tip side of the umbrella toward the tip of the umbrella 10, Portion, that is, the outer peripheral portion of the folded upholstery fabric 2 is surrounded by the sheath member 12, and the raindrop of the upholstery fabric 2 is dripped from the lower end opening of the sheath member 12, but the raindrop of the upholstery fabric 2 Even when the umbrella 10 is held by holding the bent grip 16 of the closed umbrella on the upper surface of the counter of a store such as a bank or the like without directly wetting hands, clothes or baggage. The part is no longer wetted by the raindrops of the upholstery cloth.

  In the state where the umbrella is opened, the sheath member 12 is gathered in a contracted state near the grip handle 3 or the grip 16 at the end thereof, and is light in weight, so that it is difficult to hold the opened umbrella. There is no. In some cases, the binding band piece is attached to one or both of the reinforcing rings 13 and 15, and the sheath member 12 is wound while the sheath member 12 is contracted to the grip handle portion. It is also possible to join the strips in a detachable manner. As a joining form in which the binding strip can be detached, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener may be attached to the strip, or a button and a button clip may be provided on the strip to join the strip.

(Example 2)
A raindrop cover according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment described above only in the lower end portion of the flexible stretchable sheath member, and the other portions are substantially the same as the raindrop cover according to the first embodiment. The flexible elastic sheath member 12 has an annular lower reinforcing ring 13 attached to the lower portion thereof, the sheath member 12 extends downward from the position of the reinforcing ring 13, and this extended portion is connected to the flexible bag portion 20. It has become. The lower reinforcement ring 13 is fixed to the flexible stretchable sheath member 12 by bonding or other appropriate means. In the second embodiment, the bag portion 20 is partially separated in the circumferential direction at a position close to the lower reinforcing ring 13, and an openable and closable connecting member that closes the separation portion 21 is the separation portion 21 of the bag portion 20. Is provided. In the specific example of Example 2, the (lower) surface fastener 22 is fixed to the lower portion of the separation portion 21, and the (upper) surface that covers the (lower) surface fastener 22 on the upper portion of the separation portion 21. When the fastener 23 is attached and the surface fasteners 22 and 23 are joined together with the separation portion 21 closed, the bag portion 20 is closed.

  When the flexible stretchable sheath member 12 in a state where the upper reinforcing ring 15 (FIGS. 1 to 3) is suspended from the grip handle by the hanging strap in a state where the bag portion 20 is closed, is fully extended downward, The tip 19 of the umbrella is inserted into the bag 20 through the sheath member 12 from the position of the lower reinforcing ring 13, and raindrops that wet the outer surface of the upholstery cloth 2 of the umbrella 10 are dropped from the tip 19 of the umbrella. It stays in the portion 20 and is prevented from flowing out from the sheath member 12.

  When the umbrella 10 is opened from this state, the coupling between the hook-and-loop fasteners 22 and 23 that close the separation portion 21 of the bag portion 20 is released, and the opening having a large opening as shown in FIG. The flexible sheath member 12 is pulled up to the grip handle side of the umbrella 10 together with the bag portion 20 so as to allow the umbrella tip portion 19 to protrude outward from the separation portion 21, and the tension cloth 2 is put into a state as shown in FIG. The tied band piece 8 is removed, and the umbrella 10 is opened as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows a variation of the second embodiment. The bag portion 20 is partially cut off at a position near the lower portion of the bag portion 20 in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the umbrella shaft (lateral direction). A zipper or a fastener 25 for opening and closing the separating portion is attached to the portion 21. By inserting the tip 19 of the umbrella 10 into the bag 20 and closing the fastener 25 of the separating part 21, rain drops dripping from the upholstery cloth 2 are collected in the bag 20 and are prevented from leaking outside. . When the umbrella 10 is opened, the coupling of the fastener 25 is removed and the separating portion 21 is opened widely, and as described with reference to FIG. Then, the bag portion 20 and the sheath member 12 are pulled up to open the umbrella 10 as shown in FIG.

In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and the variation thereof, connecting means such as a hook-and-loop fastener and a zipper are adopted as means for closing the opening of the separating portion. However, the present invention is applied to such a connecting means. Without being limited thereto, button-hanging, hook-hanging or any other openable connecting means can be employed.
In Example 1, since the lower end of the sheath member is opened, raindrops may be dripped from the lower end of the sheath member, but the operation of raising and lowering the sheath member is extremely simple and can be performed with one-touch operation of one hand. On the other hand, in the case of Example 2, although the opening and closing of the separation part of the bag part is somewhat troublesome, the raindrop of the umbrella upholstery cloth is completely enclosed in the bag part and does not leak to the outside.
