<p>An object of the invention is to provide an apparatus which is simple in construction without the need of any power supply and the like and is capable of easily and positively getting an umbrella received into an umbrella cover, and an umbrella cover suitable for the apparatus. To this end, the apparatus for getting an umbralla received into an umbrella cover according to the invention comprises a body (1) for receiving a plurality of umbrella covers (5), a movable support plate (11) vertically movable provided in the body (1), a bearing plate (25) for moving the movable support plate downward when the ferrule of an umbrella to be received in the cover (5) abuts against the bearing plate, and an opening operating lever (28) for opening the opening portion of the umbrella cover (5) by interlocking with the downward movement of the movable support plate (11). With the arrangement, the ferrule of an umbrella to be received in the cover (5) is caused to abut against the bearing plate to move the movable support plate (11) downward whereby the opening operating lever (28) is actuated to open the opening portion of the umbrella cover (5) and at the same time the bearing plate (25) is swingingly retracted downward to permit the umbrella to be automatically inserted into the umbrella cover (5). As a result, it is possible according to the invention to easily get an umbrella received into an umbrella cover in a single action without the use of a motor and the like. Moreover, it is possible to reduce manufacturing cost and to use the present apparatus even in a place where any power supply is not available. Besides, the present apparatus is quite practical because any power cable does not interfere with our movements and there is no fear of leakage of electricity.</p> |
