SUPPORTING DEVICE FOR HOLDING AN UMBRELLA UPRIGHT

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention refers to the technical field relative to umbrella-holding accessories.

[0002] In particular, the invention refers to a device attachable to the body of a user to allow him to hold an umbrella upright, leaving his hands free at the same time.

Background Art

[0003] It is known that in some sports activities, such as fishing, the frequent use of the hands is required to perform actions of recovery of the fishing rod, bait hooking and throwing.

[0004] During a rainy fishing day, however, the fisherman can take shelter under an umbrella only and exclusively during waiting times. When it is necessary to grasp the fishing rod to make a recovery or a throwing, the fisherman is obliged to have both hands free, so he needs to leave the umbrella on the beach, consequently getting wet.

[0005] A similar problem is naturally found not only in the field of hunting but also in other fields.

[0006] During any type of manual work, such as masonry, the operator has always both hands occupied. In case of rain, currently, the only solution is generally to interrupt work until it ceases to rain completely.

[0007] Another example is referred to recovery therapy using walking for patients undergoing chemotherapy. Patients often have to protect themselves from solar rays; however, they do not have the necessary strength to hold the weight of an umbrella for long.

[0008] In order to face such inconveniences there are currently some devices in the market comprising a hair-band applied to the head and on which a small umbrella is fixed.

[0009] Such devices, however, present different inconveniences.

[0010] First of all, the umbrella is integrated to the hair-band and therefore it is not exchangeable. This is due to the fact that the umbrella used must be very light and of reduced dimensions, so as to remain stable over the head of the user. It is clear that such a solution does not result to be either versatile or, at the same time, long-lasting and efficient. During inclement weather, such umbrellas get broken easily and can fly away due to the strong wind.

[0011] Moreover, they are not angularly adjustable and therefore always maintain only one pre-established position, resulting to be scarcely functional.

[0012] The documents US2003/0062072A1 and US903682 disclose a device for holding an umbrella upright according to the preamble of claim 1.

Disclosure of invention

[0013] It is therefore the aim of the present invention to provide an innovative supporting device to hold an umbrella upright that solves at least in part the above-mentioned inconveniences.

[0014] In particular, it is the aim of the present invention to provide a supporting device that allows to hold in a firm manner an umbrella of standard dimensions upright, giving the user complete freedom of movement and use of the hands at the same time, also in the case of quick movements.

[0015] It is also the aim of the present invention to provide a supporting device to hold an umbrella upright that results to be versatile and functional in such a way that it can both be adapted to any type of umbrella and that, at the same time, allows a position adjustment of it according to the choice of the user and on the basis of the needs of the moment.

[0016] These and other aims are therefore obtained by the present supporting device 1 for an umbrella as per claim 1.

[0017] The device 1 which is the object of the invention comprises a supporting arm 2 provided with holding means 5 through which it is possible to connect with it an umbrella of any nature and dimension in a removable manner.

[0018] In such a manner, the device is capable of holding any standard umbrella commonly present in the market upright in an absolutely exchangeable manner.

[0019] The supporting arm 2 is formed by a first part 3 and a second part 4 reciprocally hinged in such a way that both said parts (3, 4) result to be adjustable between them at different angulations. The supporting arm 2 also comprises block means through which a pre-chosen angular position can be set between the first and the second part.

[0020] In this way, once the umbrella has been fixed to the device and attached to the body, for example by fixing it on an appropriate pocket of a jacket or on a sort of cartridge belt, it is possible to select an angulation between the two parts (3, 4) in such a way as to arrange as a consequence the umbrella according to the pre-chosen angulation. In accordance with such a solution, not only is the device, in a simple manner, able to support any type of umbrella but also, at the same time, it is able to adjust the position of it on the basis of the particular needs of the moment.

[0021] For example, in use, during a rainy fishing day, the umbrella can be arranged on the basis of the direction of the wind to avoid that it flies away or that the rain, dragged by the wind, makes the user become wet. In other cases, such an angulation can be adjusted at will so as to avoid to dim the sight excessively.

[0022] It is therefore clear that such a solution is particularly versatile, not being bound to a specific umbrella, and, above all, resulting to be functional and of easy realization.

[0023] The first part (3) comprises a holding element (8) coupled to an underlying plate (7).

[0024] The holding element (8) is arranged in a rotatable manner with respect to the underlying plate (7) around an axis (20) substantially orthogonal to the surface of said element (8) in such a way as to allow a further angular adjustment of the holding element (8) with respect to the base (7) around the said axis (20).

[0025] Advantageously, the holding element (8) comprises a first indented block (21') arranged in such a way as to couple to a complementary second indented block (21) arranged on the said plate (7) so that they couple reciprocally to block the relative rotation between holding element (8) and plate (7) and wherein, further, a spring is provided (23) interposed between holding element (8) and plate (7) in such a way that by moving away reciprocally the holding element (8) from the plate (7) it is possible to rotate them around the axis (20) and, releasing them, the spring returns the first and the second indented block to a condition of reciprocal mesh, blocking the relative rotation between the holding element (8) and the plate (7).

[0026] Advantageously, the block means comprise a lock-pin (16) connected to the first part (3) and mobile with respect to it, and a plurality of holes (18) arranged at different angulations on the second part in such a way that the lock-pin can be inserted in one of the said holes, blocking the second part at a pre-chosen angulation with respect to the first part.

[0027] Advantageously, the first part (3) comprises a sliding seat into which the lock-pin (16) is inserted slidingly and wherein a spring (19) is comprised arranged with respect to the lock-pin in such a way as to exercise a thrust action that maintains the lock-pin in contrast into a pre-chosen hole (18).

[0028] Advantageously, the lock-pin (16) comprises a knob (17) on one of its ends through which it is possible to pull the lock-pin, the spring being arranged coaxially to the lock-pin (16), interposed between the knob (17) and a beat wall.

[0029] Advantageously, the seat is of longitudinal axis (16') and the holes (18) are arranged in roundly manner along an arc of circumference internal to the hinge axis (10) and arranged on the front face (3'') of the first part (3).

[0030] Advantageously, the seat is arranged transversally along the axis (10') and wherein the holes (18) are arranged in a roundly manner along an arc of circumference internal to the said hinge axis (10') and arranged on the lateral face (3') of the first part (3).

[0031] Advantageously, the said holding means (5) comprise at least a block seat (6), preferably two block seats (6), arranged on the said first part (3) and configured in such a way as to be able to hook the umbrella elastically in a releasable manner.

[0032] Advantageously, the said first and the said second part are connected between them in succession through the said rotational axis (10') that connects the end (3") of the first part (3) with an end of the second part (4).

[0033] Advantageously, the rotational axis comprises a rotation pivot (10) that is inserted into holes in axis obtained on the said first and second part.

[0034] Advantageously, wherein the second part (4) has a greater width than the first part (3) in such a way that the second part comprises a U-shaped seat (4') into which the first part (3) is hinged through the end (3").

[0035] Advantageously, wherein retention means (200) are further comprised attachable to a piece of clothing, for example jackets or belts, and configured in such a way as to be able to connect the arm (2) of the device (1) to the said piece of clothing.

[0036] Advantageously, the said retention means (200) comprise a metallic plate (200) that can be sewn to a piece of clothing and provided with holes (201), the second part (4) comprising equivalent holes (201') through which it is possible to connect in a stable manner the device (1) to the metallic plate through connection means.

Description of some preferred embodiments

[0038] With reference to figure 1 it is described, in an axonometric view, a device 1 for holding an umbrella of the underlying context.

[0039] The device comprises a supporting arm 2 which is subdivided into two parts, a first part 3 and a second part 4 reciprocally hinged between them around a rotational axis 10'.

[0040] Figure 1 also shows the pivoting connection that connects in a rotatable manner the first part 3 with the second part 4 in such a way that they result to be reciprocally adjustable at different angulations. The pivoting connection, as better described in detail below in the present description, comprises a hole in axis passing both on the first part 3 and on the second part 4 so that both parts can be pivotably connected between them by inserting a rotation pivot 10.

[0041] As shown in figure 1 as well, the first part 3 is provided with appropriate holding means 5 through which it is possible to connect in a removable manner an umbrella, in particular the stick of the umbrella.

[0042] In the device represented in figure 1, such holding means 5 are obtained by simply including such a conformation of the said first part 3 as to form, on the superior part, two or more than two block seats 6 into which the supporting stick of the umbrella can be inserted and blocked. In that sense, the part 3 is realized in a single piece, for example by the moulding either of plastic materials or metals or light alloys.

[0043] The width of the seats 6 is therefore such as to allow to insert the said stick with a certain degree of mechanic interference, taking advantage of the elasticity of the material itself with which the seats are realized, for example. In this way, the seats hook the stick, appropriately holding it.

[0044] It is clear that the same result of conformation of the first part 3 can be obtained in other different manners.

[0045] For example, as shown in the axonometric view of figure 2, it is possible to include the realization of the first part 3 overlapping between them, and then splicing through screws, glue or similar systems, two distinct components (7, 8).

[0046] Figure 2 shows, in particular, this solution in which the first part 3 comprises an underlying base plate 7 hinged to the second part 4 and provided with threaded holes through which it is possible to connect an overlying holding element 8 with the screws. The said holding element 8 has in fact such a shape as to comprise one or more than one hooks 6 to grasp the stick of the umbrella. The holding element 8 can, for constructive simplicity purposes, be realized by the moulding of plastic material or other suitable material (for example aluminium).

[0047] In order to be able to fix a pre-chosen angular position between the first part 3 and the second part 4 block means are comprised described in detail here with reference to figure 3.

[0048] The block means, as shown in figure 3, comprise a lock-pin 16 sliding into a hollow seat obtained longitudinally in the second part 4 along the longitudinal axis 16'. The block pivot comprises, for its end, a knob 17 through which it is possible to grasp and make the pivot itself slide into the seat. A traction spring 19 is appropriately arranged in such a way as to result to be fixed on one side to the knob 17 and on the opposite side in contrast against a wall of the seat itself or against the external surface of the part 4. The lock-pin 16 ends in a sharp end configured to be able to be inserted into appropriate holes 18 arranged roundly at different angles on the first part 3 around the pivot 10. In particular, the holes are arranged roundly in correspondence of the frontal surface 3'' of the part 3 (see also figure 4). In such a manner, it is possible to extract the end from a hole 18 by simply retracting the lock-pin 16 along its sliding seat pulling the knob 17. The spring, which is appropriately calibrated, will exercise such a returning action that as soon as the knob is released it will tend to return the lock-pin 16 in position, maintaining it inserted into the pre-chosen hole 18. Naturally, the spring can be pre-chosen, and it can be a traction one or a compression one.

[0049] In such a manner, on the basis of the number of holes 18 it is possible to choose any type of relative angulation between the two parts. As a way of example, figure 3 shows a predetermined pre-chosen angulation.

[0050] Figure 5 (see torn section) shows an equivalent solution in which, however, the lock-pin 16 is arranged laterally and is engaged on corresponding radial holes 18. Figure 5 highlights the spring 19 and the pivot 17.

[0051] Figure 6 shows, for clarification purposes, a lateral view of the first part 3 to highlight, in accordance with such a solution, the channel of axis 10' into which the pivot 10 is inserted, as well as an example of disposition of the holes 18 arranged on the lateral face 3' around the pivot 10 according to a ray-like disposition.

[0052] Figure 7 highlights better in a top view a detail of connection to connect the two parts 3 and 4 in a rotatable manner between them. In particular, the figure highlights the U-shaped seat 4' of which an end of the second part 4 is formed and which is suitable for coupling to the end 3" of the first part 3 in such a way that the hinge axis 10' coincide. The pivot 10 (see direction of horizontal arrow applied to the pivot) is inserted into the axial channel defined by the axis 10' in such a way as to connect the two parts (3, 4) in a rotatable manner. Figure 7, just for clarification purposes, also shows with a thin dotted line the solutions described above relative to the lateral or longitudinal block pivot.

[0053] As shown in figure 8, the device 1 is also provided with a further angular adjustment system that allows to rotate and adjust the overlying holding element 8 with respect to the underlying plate 7. Figure 8 shows the rotational axis 20 around which the part 8 can rotate with respect to the underlying part 7.

[0054] To that aim, the overlying part is not directly connected to the underlying part 7 in a rigid manner through screws or similar, but instead a coupling system (21, 21', 23) is comprised that allows to move the part 8 with respect to the part 7.

[0055] Figure 9 schematically shows, in a frontal and lateral view, such a solution. In particular, an indented block 21 is highlighted, fixed to the plate 7 and that is coupled to a complementary block 21' arranged fixed on the hook 8. A compression spring 23 maintains the two parts coupled between them so that the toothings arranged on the frontal face of each block (21, 21') are coupled between them, avoiding the relative rotation.

[0056] In such a manner, the user can simply move away the part 8 from the part 7 (see direction of force F) along the axis 20 in such a way as to detach the mesh between the teeth and rotate the part 8 with respect to the part 7 according to the desired angle (always around the axis 20). Once the desired angulation has been reached the user can release the part 8 which, by effect of the spring, is re-positioned on the part 7 in such a way that the two blocks engage between them, avoiding relative rotations between the parts (7, 8).

[0057] A further embodiment can comprise a traction spring, instead of a compression one, that tends to move the two parts away one from the other. The two parts (7, 8) are in that case impeded to be moved away reciprocally by means of a simple screw that couples them along the axis 20. By slackening the mesh of the screw the traction spring moves the two parts away, allowing an angular adjustment to then proceed with a new clamping of the screw that couples again the parts as described.

[0058] As shown in figure 10, all the configurations described can be integrated with appropriate sling systems 200 through which it is possible to arrange the device itself on the body in a suitable position.

[0059] As a way of example, figure 10 shows a simple rigid metallic plate 200 which can be sewn on a sling 202 or on an ordinary fishing jacket 202. The plate is provided with holes 201 through which it is possible to connect the second part 4 of the device with screws or similar. The second part 4, to that aim, comprises coupling holes 201'.

[0060] The same solution described in figure 10 can also be attached with the same principle to the straps of a backpack or any type of sling also connected directly by a traditional belt or a cartridge belt.

[0061] Last, figure 11 shows, in use, a schematization of the profile of a user provided with the present device that holds a rain umbrella upright.
