  The embodiment is realized by adopting the form shown in the drawings.

  Next, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 shows an umbrella embodying the present invention, a perspective view in an opened state, FIG. 2 is a back view of the main part, FIG. 3 is a back view of the main part in a closed state, and FIG. 4 is also in a closed state. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a folded umbrella, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the folded state, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the folded state, and FIG. 7 is a two-stage folded umbrella. It is the perspective view which shows the example implemented to and shows the state which started folding.

  In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an umbrella body. The umbrella body 1 has a main shaft 8 having a handle (grip) 9 at the tip, and a cross-section (not shown) is slidably attached along the main shaft 8, and a plurality of (usually) One end of the supporting bone is connected, and the other end of the supporting bone is connected to the middle of the parent bones 2, 2,. The above-mentioned potter's wheel is generally locked in an open state and a closed state.

The umbrella cloth 3 is stretched in the maximum open state and loosened in the closed state. The umbrella cloth 3 is formed with folding lines 4, 4... That are folded inward at a substantially intermediate position between the adjacent main bones 2 and 2.

  A pocket 5 is provided within the width of the single parent bone 2 and the folding line 4 described above. In this embodiment, the pocket 5 is formed by attaching by means of adhesion, sewing, etc., leaving an opening 5a in one piece of fabric, and by avoiding the main bone 2 and the folding line 4 in position. There is no obstacle to closing.

  In this embodiment, the opening 5 a of the pocket 5 is directed toward the outer peripheral edge of the umbrella cloth 3, and a button hole 5 b is formed at the edge of the opening 5 a, near the outer peripheral edge of the umbrella cloth 3. The opening 5a is opened and closed by being multiplied with the button 6 provided. Note that the opening / closing means by the button 6 and the button hole 5b is not particular to this, and can of course be replaced by a fastener, a hook button, a loop type surface fastener or the like.

  In this embodiment, a water absorbent 7 for wiping off water droplets and moisture from the surface of the umbrella cloth 3 after the umbrella body 1 is used is stored in the pocket 5. The water absorbent 7 may be a general handkerchief, towel, tissue paper or the like, but a napkin (sheet) containing a polymer-based hydrocolloid has a high water absorption rate and can be used repeatedly multiple times. Are suitable.

  Furthermore, the above-described pocket 5 can be formed of a transparent film made of plastic such as vinyl or polyethylene.

It is the perspective view of the open state which shows the umbrella which implemented this invention. It is a reverse view of the principal part. It is a principal part back view of the state which was about to close. It is a perspective view which shows the closed state. It is the perspective view of the state which showed the example implemented to the foldable umbrella and it was folded. It is a perspective view which shows the state folded. It is the perspective view which shows the example implemented to the two-stage folding umbrella and shows the folded state.
