Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Therefore, there were the following problems. (a) The purpose was not to stabilize the fabric flapped by the wind. (b) It had to be significantly changed from conventional umbrellas. The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] Reinforcement is provided at the end of the umbrella fabric with a long-shaped equivalent material. An annular auxiliary handle that can be grasped by a finger is provided at the center of the end of the umbrella fabric on the reinforcement provided on the umbrella fabric. An umbrella with wind countermeasures characterized by the above

Effects of the Invention

[0006] Even when the wind is strong, the umbrella can be stably held and the damage to the umbrella can be reduced. In the case of a rain umbrella, it is also less likely to get wet in the rain.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described. (a) On the fabric end (1) on the inner surface of the umbrella fabric, a long-shaped reinforcement (2) made of the same material as the fabric is provided on the left and right from the main rib (3) to the center (4) of the fabric. (b) An annular shape serving as an auxiliary handle (5) is provided on the long-shaped reinforcement (2) on the side of the center (4) of the fabric. The present invention has the above-described configuration. When using the present invention, when the user holding the handle (6) of the umbrella is being blown by the wind or before being blown, hold the auxiliary handle (5), and if possible, use it with the side of the auxiliary handle (5) facing the direction from which the wind is blowing.

  • Up until now, the development of umbrellas has been driven by efforts to protect the body from strong winds and summer heat, with the pursuit of lightness, durability, heat insulation, and UV protection. However, there are naturally limits to completely conquering Mother Nature, and it cannot be said that this is an area where major technological innovations are expected in the future. Therefore, this invention does not simply remain a battle against nature through a showdown of strength, but attempts to harmonize with the forces of nature, and is a multi-functional umbrella that is characterized by using each other's strengths to overcome the other.
