Folding umbrella for protecting user from e.g. rain, has median segment whose distal end is fixed at proximal part of external segment, where free end of external segment is pointed towards top part when umbrella is folded up
摘要
<p>The umbrella has a handle (1) whose sliding sleeve (4) is in contact with stretchers (3) to allow opening and closing of the umbrella. Each stretcher includes internal, median and external segments (5-7) successively starting from the handle. The internal segment is fixed by its proximal end to the sleeve and by its distal end (9) to a proximal part (10) of the median segment. A distal end (11) of the median segment is fixed at a proximal part (12) of the external segment. A free end of the external segment is pointed towards a top part when the umbrella is folded up.</p>
