Umbrella Bag Storage Device

Abstract

An umbrella bag storage device includes a device body 1 in which an umbrella bag 30 is loaded. A tongue member 19 , which opens an opening 31 of the umbrella bag 30 , and a tip contacting member 17 are attached to a rotating plate 15 in a turnable manner. When a tip of a folding umbrella 40 is brought into contact with the tip contacting member 17 , whereby the tip contacting member 17 turns to cause the tongue member 19 to open the opening 31 of the umbrella bag 30 . A long hole 17 c and a protruding section of a first spindle 14 are engaged such that the tip contacting member 17 and the tongue piece 19 are capable of advancing/retracting. In addition, a torsion spring 21 urges the tip contacting member 17 and the tongue member 19 to the front toward the umbrella bag 30 . When a folding umbrella is stored in an umbrella bag, the user's hand, which has been inserted inside of the device, is prevented from being trapped and pinched by the bag opening member.

1 : An umbrella bag storage device comprising: 
 a device body that is loaded with an umbrella bag; and    a bag opening member that opens up an opening of the umbrella bag and that is turnably provided inside of the device body, wherein    a tip end of an umbrella is brought into contact with the bag opening member to turn the bag opening member such that the opening of the umbrella bag is opened, the bag opening member can advance and retract, and is urged in a forward direction.
