Benefits of technology

The deployment mechanism in this patent allows for the hands-free use of an umbrella with a backpack. It can be fully auto-deployed with a push of a button or pull of a cord. It is easy to release and retract, and is lightweight and not burdensome to carry with a backpack.

Problems solved by technology

One significant disadvantage to the common umbrella is that, in use, it necessarily occupies at least one of the user's hands.
Another disadvantage is that people regularly find themselves without an umbrella when it is most needed.
