Safety device for an automatically openable umbrella

摘要

A safety device for an automatically openable umbrella includes a pulling cord (800) connected to an upper hub (500) and a reel member (10) through a runner (600). Reel-out movement of the reel member (10) is restrained by a unidirectional retaining mechanism (30). The safety device further includes an entrapment mechanism (40) disposed in a telescopic central shaft (300) of the umbrella and having a gate member (41) and a retained body (45). The retained body (45) is retained by the gate member (41) when the umbrella is collapsed so as to guard against upward movement of the runner (600), thereby avoiding undesirable opening or extension of the umbrella.
