Abstract
A telescopic umbrella case which possesses water-collecting function and light-reflecting effect for enhancing the safety of a user when walking at night. The umbrella case is composed of an innermost top sleeve member and several subsidiary sleeve members which are telescopically assembled and able to be extended into an elongated state for entirely covering an umbrella. A resilient water-draining valve is disposed at a top end of the first sleeve member. The water-draining valve includes a valve rod and a valve body. The valve rod is pressable against the ground to push the valve body away from a water-draining hole of the top sleeve member, permitting the rain water collected therein to flow through the water-draining hole down onto the ground. The sleeve members are directly molded from light-reflecting material or are painted with reflective paint or attached with reflective paper or printed with fine figures, so that the umbrella case is indicative of the user at night and thus the safety of the user is greatly enhanced when walking at night. On the outer surface of each sleeve member is disposed several longitudinal projecting ribs for preventing the reflective material on the outer surface of the sleeve member from being scraped during frequent telescopic movement thereof and for enhancing the fitting tightness between respective sleeve members.
