DEVICE FOR COLLECTING DRIPPING WATER FROM UMBRELLAS

Abstract: A device made of material or other weaved fabric, the same fabric (5) as the umbrella and it spreads out completely when opening the ribs (1) so that it maintains a dome-like structure of the umbrella, without any outside curves being added, on the other hand it narrows around the lower part of the umbrella when closing it, forming in the meanwhile a sufficient volume (6) for collecting dripping water between its side surface and that of the end of the fabric of the umbrella next to the metal tip.

Description: "DEVICE FOR COLLECTING DRIPPING WATER FROM UMBRELLAS, *f The invention concerns ? device which collects dripping water from umbrellas to which it is applied, for construction, near the metal tip. 10 They are known stiff containers applied or applicable at the end of the umbrellas for the purpose to collect dripping water from the fabric when closing the umbrellas which 15 avoids getting clothe f s, carpets, car carpets and other similar things soaked. The said devices on the other hand, because of their stiff structure do not take up a lot of 20 room and look elegant because they do not change their shape when the ribs are closed. The aim of the invention is to create a device to collect dripping water from umbrellas after 25 their use, highly efficient and with such a disposition that it does not alter in any way the appearances of the umbrella either opened or closed. 30 According the invention the aim can be reached, ■with a device made o material or any other Fabric simila-r to the ma erial of the ur.brella, and it tends to spread out completely when the ribs are opened so that in maintains the dome-like structure of the umbrella, without an outside curve being added and on the other hand it narrows, around the end of the umbrella when closing it, forming in the meantime a sufficient volume which collects the dripping water, between its side surface and that of the end of the fabric near the metal tip. The invention is explained in details in the following with the aid of drawings which represent some examples of execution. Figure I represents, in perspective a device according the invention. Figures 2 and 3 represent, respectively in per¬ spective an outlined side, the device according to figure I applied at the end of an umbrella. Figures 4 and 5 show in horizontal and vertical section, the structure of the device. Figure 6 shows a variant of the device applied to umbrellas at a reducible length, with the least encumbrances for carrying it and for storage. With references made to the details of the drawings the device is made up of a ' small frame of ribs which spread out apart I, a triangle unfastened in relation to side 2, made consolidated, by a seam, pasting or other methods at the outside surface 3, in order to keep it away from the inside surface 4, reinforced at fabric 5 of the umbrella adapting the inside area 6 of the collected dripping water. Thus the said dome-like external surface 3 ' is always maintained in proximity from fabric 5 in the closing position of the umbrella figures 2 and 3, keeping spread out the inside 6 area according to the purpose. In the variant figure 6, of the applied device near the metal tip, the peri eteral bag 7 is added, predisposed near the median bent 8 of fabric 5 of the umbrella, determinated by the length reduction of the handle in such a particular model. Naturally the principle of discory remains firm, forms of achievement and the particulars of construction can be varied according to what is described and illustrated, this doesn't mean that it drifs away from the area of the aerial convention.

Claims: 1. A device for collecting dripping water from umbrellas, supported at the lower part characterized by a spread out of framed ribs (l), a triangle fastened according the side (2) joined by a seam, pasting or other methods at the outside surface (3), in such a way that it maintains the distance from the inside surface (4), supporting at fabric (5) of the umbrella, conforming the area (6) of the collected dripping water, 2. A device according to claim 1 characterized by an inside surface (3) which is always near width (5), keeping the inside area (6) spread out * 3. A device according to claim 1 characterized by the presence, in the umbrellas reducible in length, by the perimetrical bags (7 - 9), which are available near the fold of the half back (8) of the width (5), 4. A device according to claim 1 characterized by that the ribs (1) spread out following the structure of opened width (5) and incline to narrow around the lower part of the umbrella while closing it.
