Description

Technical Field

[0004]

[0001] This application relates to the field of folding umbrella technology, and particularly to a special-shaped automatic folding umbrella.

Background Art

[0002] A folding umbrella is an umbrella tool that realizes portable storage through a foldable design of the umbrella ribs and the umbrella surface, and can be classified into a manual folding umbrella and an automatic folding umbrella according to its functions. An automatic folding umbrella is an umbrella that combines an automatic opening and closing function with a folding design. Generally, it realizes one-touch opening and closing with a button or a switch, which is convenient for daily use.

[0003] Conventional folding umbrellas mainly include an umbrella handle, umbrella ribs, and an umbrella surface. The umbrella surface usually adopts a regular polygon structure. The lengths of each umbrella rib connecting the umbrella surface are the same and are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. When the umbrella surface is unfolded, the distances from the front, rear, left, and right ends to the central axis of the umbrella handle are equal. Such a folding umbrella is suitable for use in a normal walking state and can provide uniform rain protection. However, when the user carries luggage, a backpack, or other items on the back, the back area is not completely shielded, so there is a possibility that the items on the back get wet in the rain or the items are damaged.
