The second connecting hole 52 and the first connecting hole 61 are connected together by rivets, screws, pins, etc.
[0044] In this embodiment, the fourth rib 4 and the elastic tie rod 5 are tied together by a fixing ring 8. The fixing ring 8 can be an elastic rope, a cable tie, or formed by bending the upper part of the fourth rib 4.
[0045] In this embodiment, the elastic rod 5 can also be formed by bending steel wire. When bending steel wire, the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 52 of the elastic rod can be omitted. Instead, the two ends of the steel wire can be bent to form hooks, and the hooks at both ends can be directly attached to the third connecting hole 23 of the second limb and the first connecting hole 61 of the fifth limb.
[0046] This utility model also protects an umbrella that includes the multi-fold umbrella ribs described above. Typically, multiple of the aforementioned multi-fold umbrella ribs are installed on the upper and lower fins of the umbrella handle. The middle of the umbrella fabric is fixedly installed together with the top of the umbrella handle, and the edge of the umbrella fabric is disposed together with the second connecting hole 62 of the fifth rib. Preferably, the middle position of the umbrella fabric is disposed together with the first umbrella fabric fixing position 26.
[0047] When this utility model is in normal use, during the opening of the umbrella, the first rib 1, the second rib 2 and the fifth rib 6 extend under the action of the third rib 3. When the first rib 1 moves under the action of the third rib 3 to the recess 14 on the first rib 1 and is engaged with the fixing point (fixing rivet 14) on the second rib, the umbrella surface is fully opened.
[0048] When the umbrella is fully opened and the outer end of the fourth rib 4 is turned outward, the inner end of the fourth rib 4 generates an upward force and turns upward. At this time, the concave position 14 on the first rib 1 and the fixing point on the second rib 2 engage, and the first rib 1 stably pulls the inner end of the fourth rib 4, which increases the wind resistance of the entire umbrella.
[0049] This invention features recesses at the ends of the umbrella ribs, which, when used in conjunction with fixing points on other ribs, enhance the overall wind resistance of the umbrella. When the umbrella is fully opened and the canopy flips outward, the outer end of the fourth rib moves downward, while the inner end moves upward. At this time, the recesses on the first rib engage with the fixing points on the second rib, allowing the first rib to stably hold the inner end of the fourth rib, thereby increasing the overall wind resistance of the umbrella.
