Umbrella cover connector system
The present invention relates to various umbrellas, relate to a kind of umbrella cover connector system in particular.
Need very long manual assembly time when making umbrella.An important step making umbrella is that the ferrule of umbrella and the trough of belt spare of umbrella are coupled together.This trough of belt spare is fixed in the newel top of umbrella, and the umbrella frame linkage links to each other with above-mentioned trough of belt spare, and this umbrella frame linkage can make the umbrella cover open to the use location and be folded to deposit position.Ferrule is fixed in the top of trough of belt spare and the umbrella cover is clipped in or between ferrule and trough of belt spare, ferrule makes umbrella cover center be in the center of umbrella newel.
Ferrule is connected normally used a kind of existing assembly method with trough of belt spare be only ferrule to be screwed in the trough of belt spare with thread connecting mode, and ferrule is provided with threaded screw rod, and this screw rod can screw in the screwed hole in the trough of belt spare.The umbrella cover is placed trough of belt spare top, and the screw rod that can push on the ferrule passes the umbrella cover, and screw to the ferrule lid that then screw rod of ferrule is screwed in trough of belt spare compresses the umbrella cover.Thereby the fixed relationship that keeps ferrule and trough of belt body.But when being to use umbrella, ferrule can be lost because of thread failure and the disengagement of trough of belt spare.If therefore umbrella cover connector system of the present invention relatively, above-mentioned hand assembled method is time-consuming, and the structure destructible.
Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of improved umbrella cover connector system, wherein the ferrule of umbrella is mechanically locking on the trough of belt spare of umbrella, thereby makes the ferrule of umbrella and the hand assembled between trough of belt spare be more prone to.
According to above-mentioned purpose, umbrella cover connector system of the present invention is provided with mechanical locking mechanism, and this structure can interconnect ferrule and trough of belt spare, and above-mentioned umbrella cover is between ferrule and trough of belt spare.Above-mentioned locking mechanism is formed jointly by ferrule and trough of belt spare.This locking mechanism includes the compression spring lock flange, this flange links to each other with the best approach with ferrule, above-mentioned ferrule can extend in the hole of the perfect trough of belt spare of design, when when assembling, the compression spring lock flange stretch in the trough of belt spare through hole until lock flange snap into trough of belt spare on the position that locks mutually of locking seat.
Other purpose of the present invention and advantage can draw in conjunction with the accompanying drawings from the following description.
Fig. 1 is the top perspective of umbrella cover connector system of the present invention;
Fig. 2 is the side cutaway view along the center line of the newel of umbrella of the present invention, and the ferrule of above-mentioned umbrella is in not the state with the assembling of trough of belt spare;
Fig. 3 is and the similar profile of Fig. 2 ferrule and trough of belt spare that its expression is assembled together according to the present invention.
Umbrella cover connector system 10 of the present invention is at the mode that interconnects of trough of belt spare 12 with the ferrule 11 of umbrella of umbrella, thereby ferrule 11 interconnects with trough of belt spare and makes umbrella cover fix in position, and this umbrella cover is between trough of belt spare and ferrule after the umbrella assembling finishes.
Ferrule 11 comprises sheet lid 15, and the size and dimension of this cap 15 can make its covering have above the trough of belt spare 12 of umbrella cover 13, and this umbrella cover 13 is as depicted in figs. 1 and 2 between cap 15 and trough of belt spare 12, ferrule 11 also is provided with a pair of spring 16, this spring extends downwards from ferrule 11 bottom surfaces 17, each spring 16 is made of spring leaf, and its bottom 18 links to each other with ferrule lid 15.The other end of each spring leaf 16 has lock flange 20, and spring leaf 16 and lock flange 20 constitute the parts of mechanical locking mechanisms.This mechanism is formed jointly by ferrule 11 and trough of belt spare 12, thereby makes ferrule by interconnecting and fix in position with trough of belt spare.
As illustrated in fig. 1 and 2, trough of belt spare 12 is fixed in the top 25 of umbrella newel 26.The outside of trough of belt spare 12 has a plurality of notches 27, each notch 27 is connected with a umbrella frame 28 in the umbrella frame linkage (not providing among the figure), as shown in the figure, every umbrella frame 28 links to each other with channel by wire 29, and this wire 29 embeds in the groove 30 of trough of belt spare 12 outer surfaces.Lid shape cover 31 is positioned at the bottom of trough of belt spare 12, thereby it links to each other with the top 25 of newel trough of belt spare is fixed on the newel 26, should be specifically noted that have through hole 33 in trough of belt spare 12, the center line of this through hole overlaps with the center line of newel 34.Through hole 33 is provided with locking seat 35, and this point will be described in detail below.Locking seat in the trough of belt spare 12 is another part in the locking mechanism, and this locking mechanism is formed jointly by ferrule 11 and trough of belt spare 12, thereby makes ferrule by interconnecting and fix in position with trough of belt spare.
When being shown in assembling ferrule 11 of the present invention and trough of belt spare 12, should earlier trough of belt spare 12 be fixed in newel top 25 as Fig. 2 and 3.Thereby put umbrella cover 13 afterwards trough of belt spare is covered, at this moment the center line in the hole 39 at umbrella cover center overlaps with the center line 34 of newel substantially.Then ferrule 11 is placed on umbrella cover 13(as shown in Figure 2) on, with lock flange 20 down and be inserted in the through hole 33 of trough of belt spare.Above-mentioned action why can realize be because in above-mentioned installation step when lock flange 20 is stretched to and passes through hole, the spring leaf 16 continuous with lock flange 20 can allow these flange 20 relative through holes 33 to slope inwardly.The length L of spring leaf 16 greater than the length L of the through hole 33 of trough of belt body ', therefore, when interconnecting with the trough of belt body as shown in Figure 3, ferrule can allow the lock flange 20 on the ferrule to produce, thereby be locked on the formed locking in the trough of belt spare bottom surface seat 35, therefore by simple relatively and efficiently the above-mentioned umbrella cover connector system 10 of hand assembled can make ferrule 11 with the 12 mutual mechanical cagings of trough of belt spare or interconnect.In particular, above-mentioned umbrella cover connector system 10 need not to use helicitic texture the ferrule of umbrella and the trough of belt body of umbrella can be linked together, and afterwards building block is not damaged if therefore finish in assembling, and then ferrule can not thrown off with the trough of belt body.
