DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device which is installed at the entrances of, for example, hotels, stores, and so on and automatically receives a wet umbrella in a bag in rainy weather.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Conventionally, umbrellas have been put in receiving bags made of synthetic resin and so on in order to prevent clothes, floors, or commodities and so on from getting wet by wet umbrellas carried by customers in rainy weather at, for example, hotels, stores, and so on.
Various kinds of devices in which insertion openings of the receiving bags are automatically opened in order to easily conduct the operation of receiving umbrellas in the receiving bags and umbrellas are received only by inserting the umbrellas into the insertion openings which are opened have been proposed (refer to, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Sh. 60-134817 Official Gazette, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. Sh. 62-125708 Official Gazette, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei. 4-31222 Official Gazette).
However, the conventional devices use a means to suck with negative pressure a number of link and cam mechanisms and so on as means to open the insertion openings of the receiving bags, so that they are complicatedly arranged and have to use a vacuum suction pump, or a motor and so on; therefore the manufacturing cost increases and the devices can not be used where there is no electric power source nearby. In addition, there are disadvantages, for example, that the electric cords become a hindrance and that there is fear of an electric leak since the devices are used in rainy weather.
The present invention is proposed, mitigating the above-described disadvantages, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device which is simply arranged and can surely receive an umbrella in a bag and an umbrella receiving bag which is suitable for the device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to attain the above-described objects, a device for receiving an umbrella of the present invention, where an umbrella receiving bag is loaded within a main body and an opening operation member which opens an insertion opening of the receiving bag is provided within the main body so as to be rotatable, is arranged so that an insertion opening of the above-described receiving bag is opened by rotating the opening operation member with a point of the umbrella.
There, the above-described opening operation member is desired to be supported so as to be movable by a mobile plate provided so as to advance to and retreat from the umbrella receiving bag loaded within the main body. The above-described opening operation member is desired to have a four node link mechanism consisting of the above-described movable plate, a pair of parallel links, and a fixing plate.
On embodying the present invention, the above-described opening operation member is desired to include a first member which has a receiving part to which the point portion of the umbrella abuts and is supported by a shaft so as to be free to rotate towards the main body, a second member which is supported by the shaft so as to be able to rotate towards the first member and is entirely formed to be a spatula form, and an elasticity member which is attached in the part where the above-described first member and second member are supported by the shaft and gives momentum to the second member to move upwards or in the direction where the second member abuts to the above-described receiving bag. There, a so-called "return spring" is desired to be used as the elasticity member, and its repulsion force is set to be greater than the gravity of the above-described second member, but only strong enough that no rolling of the receiving bag takes place.
Or, the above-described opening operation member is desired to include a fragmentary member which arranges a receiving part to which the point portion of the umbrella abuts, opens the insertion opening of the receiving bag, and guides the point portion of the above-descri
