Flexible Omni-Umbrella
Abstract
The present invention relates to a flexible omni-umbrella, comprising: a rod, a flexible wire and an umbrella fabric, wherein two ends of the rod are provided with a through hole portion and a fixing portion, respectively. In the present invention, one point of the flexible wire is fixed on the fixing portion and two terminal ends of the flexible wire are connected to each other after being slidably passed through the through hole portion, therefore the flexible wire is formed to a stereoscopic framework, so as to make the umbrella fabric covering the stereoscopic framework capable of shielding rain comprehensively.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A flexible omni-umbrella, comprising:
a rod having a through hole portion and a fixing portion respectively provided on two ends of the rod; a flexible wire fixed on the fixing portion, wherein two terminal ends of the flexible wire are slidably passed through the through hole portion of the rod oppositely and connected to each other so as to form a water-drop-shaped portion and an ellipse-shaped portion, and the ellipse-shaped portion is bent to form two cross points with the water-drop-shaped portion, so as to form a stereoscopic framework; and an umbrella fabric, covering the stereoscopic framework formed by the flexible wire.
2 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein the water-drop-shaped portion and the ellipse-shaped portion being fixed by disposing two joining members on two cross points of the flexible wire.
3 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 2 , wherein the flexible wire is bent to form three overlapping circular coils when the flexible omni-umbrella is furled, and the three overlapping circular coils being fixed by the two joining members.
4 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 3 wherein the joining member is selected from the group consisting of: cotton thread, elastic cord, nylon cord, ring, two engaged-sleeves, four-way sleeve, and heat shrink tube.
5 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 3 , wherein the two joining members on the two cross points and a circle center of the three overlapping circular coils form an isosceles triangle having a top angle, and the top angle being ranged from 70° to 120°.
6 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein the rod is a telescopic rod comprising a plurality of stretching segments, and the telescopic rod further having a handle portion adjacent to the fixing portion, wherein the handle portion is used for receiving and accommodating the stretching segments of the rod.
7 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 6 , wherein a engaging button is further disposed on handle portion for engaging the stretching segments which are received and accommodated in the handle portion.
8 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is a steel ring.
9 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein the flexible wire is a flattened steel wire with directionality and good toughness.
10 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , further comprises an elastic loop connected to the fixing portion.
11 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein the two terminal ends of the flexible wire are connected to each other by a bridge member.
12 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 1 , wherein umbrella fabric comprises a plurality of primary cover portions and a plurality of auxiliary cover portions.
13 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of primary cover portions consists of a first primary cover portion, a second primary cover portion, a third primary cover portion, and a fourth primary cover portion, and the first primary cover portion, the second primary cover portion, the third primary cover portion, and the fourth primary cover portion are seamed to each other.
14 . The flexible omni-umbrella of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of auxiliary cover portions comprises:
a first auxiliary cover portion, being seamed with the first primary cover portion, the third primary cover portion and the fourth primary cover portion; a second auxiliary primary cover portion, being seamed with the first primary cover portion, the second primary cover portion and the fourth primary cover portion; and a third auxiliary cover portion, being seamed with the first primary cover portion, the second primary cover portion and the third primary cover portion.
15 . A assembling and furling method for flexible omni-umbrella, comprises the steps of:
(1) fixing a flexible wire on a fixing portion on one end of the rod; (2) making two terminal ends of the flexible wire to slidably pass through a through hole portion formed on the other end of the rod oppositely, so as to form a water-drop-shaped portion between the fixing portion and the through hole portion of the rod; (3) connecting the two terminal ends of the flexible wire to form an ellipse-shaped portion corresponding to the water-drop-shaped portion; (4) bending the ellipse-shaped portion to form two cross points with the water-drop-shaped portion so as to form a stereoscopic framework; and (5) covering the stereoscopic framework with an umbrella fabric.
16 . The assembling method for flexible omni-umbrella of claim 15 , wherein the two terminal ends of the flexible wire are connected by a bridge member, and the water-drop-shaped portion and the ellipse-shaped portion are fixed by disposing two joining members on two cross points of the flexible wire.
17 . The assembling method for flexible omni-umbrella of claim 15 , wherein the umbrella fabric comprises a plurality of primary cover portions and a plurality of auxiliary cover portions.
18 . The assembling method for flexible omni-umbrella of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of primary cover portions consists of a first primary cover portion, a second primary cover portion, a third primary cover portion, and a fourth primary cover portion, and the first primary cover portion, the second primary cover portion, the third primary cover portion, and the fourth primary cover portion are seamed to each other.
19 . The assembling method for flexible omni-umbrella of claim 16 , wherein the two joining members on the two cross points and a circle center of the three overlapping circular coils form an isosceles triangle having a top angle, and the top angle being ranged from 70° to 120°.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
