[0002] Umbrella is an essential tool in rainy days, but when entering the room after using the umbrella, the storage of the umbrella is a big problem. When the rain falls on the umbrella surface, due to the limitation of the umbrella surface material, the water droplets are difficult to be completely absorbed or slide off, but will gather on the umbrella surface to form water droplets. These water droplets not only increase the weight of the umbrella, but also make the umbrella surface slippery, which brings inconvenience to the user. Although many new types of umbrella surface materials with good waterproof and drainage performance have been developed on the market, it is still unavoidable to stick rainwater. Secondly, when the umbrella is folded, the water droplets often fall to the ground, causing the ground to be slippery and increasing the risk of falling. Especially in crowded public places, the risk of falling is greater. Although disposable plastic bags are provided for storing umbrellas in public places, it is inevitable that the hands and clothes will be wet when the user folds the umbrella.
