Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a foldable umbrella that can easily and rapidly fold the umbrella cloth along the pole with a smooth outlook and a small size. The foldable ribs and the auto-adjustment of the umbrella cloth are achieved through the use of flexible and bendable L-shaped retainers that are located at connection points between adjacent ribs. The L-shaped retainers have a clamping effect that helps to smoothly fold the umbrella cloth along the pole. The invention also includes a connecting unit that runs across the two adjacent L-shaped retainers, creating a Y or T shape. The technical effects of the invention are improved folding performance, durability, and aesthetic appeal."

Abstract

A foldable umbrella capable of auto-adjustment of the umbrella cloth comprises: a plurality of foldable ribs; an umbrella pole for connecting one ends of the ribs; an umbrella cloth expanded along a space spanned by the ribs; at least one connection portion located on an inner side of the umbrella cloth and two adjacent ribs. Each connection portion includes two L-shaped retainers and one connecting unit; and each L-shaped retainer is made of flexible and bendable material. When the umbrella is folded, by the clamping effect of the two L-shaped retainers of one connection portion, the umbrella cloth will present a smooth folded shape so that the umbrella cloth is folded along the umbrella pole easily. Thus the umbrella cloth can be folded easily, rapidly, and directly with a beautiful outlook and a small size. It is difficult to be damaged.

As a result, the folded umbrella presents an irregular and messy outlook. The users often have to take time to adjust the umbrella cloth for making the folded umbrella has a beautiful outlook with a small size and can be retained safely without being damaged. However, this is time-consuming and thus, the users would rather let the umbrella cloth be irregular than to take time to adjust the umbrella cloth.[0003]Therefore, there is an eager demand for a novel design which can improve the prior art defects so that after the umbrella is folded, it will have a smooth outlook. Furthermore, the umbrella cloth can be folded...
