Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8, this utility model relates to an easy-to-drawing-in umbrella, which includes an umbrella cloth 10, a rib 11 and an umbrella stem 12. The umbrella cloth is arranged on the rib, and the rib is arranged on a fixed end of the umbrella stem 12. The easy-to-drawing-in umbrella further includes a molded fixing piece assembly 20. The rib 11 includes a folding support set 111 and a rib nest 112. The folding support set is secured onto the rib nest. The rib nest is used to fix all supporters of the folding support set on the rib nest, and is fastened on the umbrella stem via the rib nest. The umbrella cloth is set with folds. The molded fixing piece assembly is arranged on one side of the fold.

The easy-to-drawing-in umbrella adopting this technical proposal provides people with a quick folding umbrella, which is to draw in and fold the umbrella regularly based on the folds on the umbrella cloth when retracting the umbrella after people use it. As the umbrella cloth is set with the molded fixing piece assembly on an internal surface at a side near the fold, and such molded fixing piece assembly is set close to the fold, so that the position of the folds on the umbrella cloth maintains unchanged after used for many times, and it can also keep the surface where such molded fixing piece assembly is located flat. Therefore, when retracting the folding support set through the rib nest, the umbrella cloth on the folding support set will draw in and fold regularly based on the folds of the umbrella cloth, thus folding the umbrella quickly.

The folding support set adopting this technical proposal is a triple-fold folding support set, a double-fold folding support set or a quadruple-fold folding support set. As shown in FIG. 1, the fold are straight-line umbrella cloth folds 102 that take its center of circle as a starting point and are arrayed by extending outward of the umbrella cloth, circular umbrella cloth folds 101 set on the umbrella cloth that take a central point as the center of circle and/or rib cloth folds 100 that is secured on the rib 11. If the umbrella is a triple-fold umbrella, the circular umbrella cloth has two folds. The circular umbrella cloth fold is located at a folding node of the folding support set. The molded fixing piece assembly includes an internal molded fixing piece 201, a medium molded fixing piece 202 and an external molded fixing piece 203. The internal molded fixing piece is set on the umbrella cloth inside the innermost circular umbrella cloth fold. The medium molded fixing piece is set on the umbrella cloth between the two circular umbrella cloth folds. The external molded fixing piece is set on the umbrella cloth outside the outermost circular umbrella cloth fold. Meanwhile, based on the division of the circular umbrella cloth fold, the umbrella cloth inside the innermost circular umbrella cloth fold is an internal umbrella cloth 103. The umbrella cloth between two circular umbrella cloths is a medium umbrella cloth 104. The umbrella cloth outside the outermost circular umbrella cloth fold is an external umbrella cloth 105.

To be specific, the umbrella in this preferred embodiment includes the umbrella cloth, the ribs, the umbrella stem, a tie band, a handle and the molded fixing piece assembly. The umbrella stem is connected to the ribs at one end, while its other end is connected to the handle, and the umbrella can be a telescopic pole, so that the umbrella can retract its umbrella stem while retracting. The umbrella cloth is secured on the ribs, by tying with lines or ropes onto the ribs, and a central position to fasten the umbrella cloth via the umbrella hat is set above a notch. The tie band, which is used to bind and fasten the umbrella cloth when retracting the umbrella, is secured on an external surface of the umbrella cloth. In order to improve the uniformity of the umbrella, the umbrella cloth is set with folds. The fold can be divided into the circular umbrella cloth fold and the straight-line umbrella cloth fold. The circular umbrella cloth fold forms a circle around the central point of the umbrella cloth, and sets the circular folds with the same center of the circle taking the support node of the folding support set of the rib as the radius. The number of the circular umbrella cloth fold can be configured based on the number of the support node of the folding support set. For example, there are two support nodes of the folding support set for the triple-fold umbrella, and then two circular umbrella cloth folds are set. While the straight-line umbrella cloth fold is set with folding lines dispersing by taking the central point of the umbrella cloth as the starting point, and the number of the straight-line umbrella cloth folds is the same as that of the supporters of the folding support set. In addition, the straight-line umbrella cloth fold is located at a middle position between supporter and supporter of the folding support set.

The umbrella can be divided into the internal umbrella cloth, the medium umbrella cloth and the external umbrella cloth based on the circular umbrella cloth folds. And then, different layers of umbrella cloth are set with molded fixing piece assembly, which includes the internal molded fixing piece, the medium molded fixing piece and the external molded fixing piece, and they are arranged correspondingly on the internal umbrella cloth, the medium umbrella cloth and the external umbrella cloth respectively. The internal molded fixing piece is divided into a delta-shaped region by the fold and the supporters 1110 of the folding support set of the internal umbrella cloth. Therefore, the internal molded fixing piece is set into a triangular shape, a trapezoidal shape or a triangular-framed shape, so that such internal molded fixing piece is pasted onto the internal surface of the umbrella cloth. Moreover, as to the internal umbrella cloth, the area of its delta-shaped region will be different due to the number of supporters of the folding support set. If the area of such delta-shaped region is relatively small, the internal molded fixing piece may not be fastened by pasting. The medium umbrella cloth is divided into a trapezoidal shape by the cloth folds and the supporters of the folding support set, so that the trapezoidal molded fixing piece, the trapezoidal-framed molded fixing piece or the stripe-shaped molded fixing piece is pasted onto the internal surface of the umbrella cloth. Moreover, the folding number of the folding support set is different, so the layers of the medium molded fixing piece can be increased or decreased. For example, the quadruple-fold umbrella has two medium molded fixing pieces, while the double-fold umbrella is not set with medium molded fixing piece. As for the external umbrella cloth, as the area between the umbrella cloth fold of the external umbrella cloth and the supporters of the folding support set is relatively large, and the internal layer and the medium layer of the umbrella cloth are pasted with internal molded fixing piece and the medium molded fixing piece respectively. Therefore, it only requires pasting the external molded fixing piece at one side of the straight-line umbrella cloth fold of the external umbrella cloth. By such setting, it can not only reduce an overall weight of the umbrella, but also can fold the umbrella based on the folding inertia and the folds.

The molded fixing piece assembly is set at one side of the straight-line umbrella cloth fold as well as at one side of the circular umbrella cloth fold. Therefore, the fold of the umbrella cloth can maintain unchanged due to the use of umbrella. When folding the umbrella, it can also keep the umbrella fabric flat and improve the rigidity of the umbrella fabric through the folded fixing piece as well. So when folding the umbrella, the umbrella cloth will fold regularly based on the folds, so that people do not need to place the umbrella cloth piece by piece when retracting the umbrella. People need to do is to bind up and fasten the umbrella cloth by tie band after retracting the umbrella, and finally place into the umbrella pouch. By such way, it can avoid the cumbersome process of retracting the umbrella, but also improve the efficiency of retracting the umbrella.

As shown in FIG. 2, the fold of the straight umbrella 2 is set with a molded fixing piece assembly at the support of the rib, and its folding principle is the same as that of the triple-fold umbrella, which is to maintain the folds of the straight umbrella unchanged after used for many times by the molded fixing piece assembly, and it is set where the molded fixing piece assembly is located, which can maintain the umbrella fabric flat, and also, when folding the umbrella, it can draw the umbrella in based on the folds, thus folding the umbrella quickly.

As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the hardness of the molded fixing piece assembly stated in this technical proposal is greater than the fixing flap of the umbrella cloth, which can be a nonmagnetic fixing flap, such as the plastic sheet, the silicone sheet or rubber sheet. More specifically, it can be PU molded fixing piece assembly, TPU molded fixing piece assembly, PET molded fixing piece assembly, PE molded fixing piece assembly, PP molded fixing piece assembly, ABS molded fixing piece assembly, PVC molded fixing piece or silicone molded fixing piece. PU, the abbreviation of polyurethane (with its English name as: polyurethane) refers to the polyurethane material, which is a high-molecular material. TPU (with its English name as: Thermoplastic polyurethanes) refers to the thermoplastic polyurethanes. PET (with its English name as: Polyethylene terephthalate) refers to the polyethylene terephthalate. PE (with its English name as: polyethylene) is a kind of thermoplastic resin obtained by aggregating the ethylene. PP (with its English name as: Polypropylene) refers to the polypropylene, which is also a thermoplastic resin by aggregating the propylene. ABS (with its English name as: acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) is a kind of synthetic resin. PVC (with its English name as: is polyvinyl chloride) refers to the compound polyvinyl chloride in terms of chemical sector. As a result, the molded fixing assembly can be made by different materials; meanwhile, the molded fixing assembly can be made of softer materials, thus avoiding the molded fixing assembly from cutting into the umbrella cloth, or it may lead to the cuts to the users by such molded fixing assembly. Furthermore, the molded fixing assembly can be set on the umbrella cloth by fitting or coating. The molded fixing assembly can be set a certain shape according to different positions of the umbrella cloth, thus making the thickness of the umbrella different. Therefore, a hardness of the umbrella at different positions varies, so that it will be faster for people to draw in the folding umbrella. The external surface or the internal surface of the umbrella can be coated fully by the materials similar to PU, thus preventing the UV (with its English name as Ultraviolet, namely the UV light).

The umbrella stated in this technical proposal can be a manually-open umbrella, an automatically-open umbrella or an electrically-open umbrella. The umbrella may be a rain umbrella or a sunshade. As shown in FIG. 4, the umbrella further includes a tie band 13, which is set on the outside surface of the umbrella cloth, and the tie band is used to fix the umbrella cloth after the umbrella is drawn in and folded. The rib nest includes the notch 1121 and a runner 1122, wherein the notch is set on an end face of the fixed end of the umbrella stem, while the runner is set on a rod end of a driving rod as well as on the umbrella stem. The rib nest can be fastened on one end of the umbrella stem via the notch of the rib nest. While the runner is set on the umbrella stem movably, and put up or draw in the umbrella ribs by pushing the runner. The rain umbrella or the sunshade can be set with a handle 14 on the connecting end of the umbrella stem, so as to facilitate people to take the rain umbrella or the sunshade. The self-opening umbrella or the electric umbrella can be set with a push button 30 on the handle, by which the opening/closing of the umbrella can be controlled so as to facilitate the use of umbrella by people. After drawing in and folding the umbrella, the tie band is used to bind the umbrella, thus placing the umbrella into the umbrella bag.
