Automatic umbrella

With the help of an automatic umbrella, you can escape from direct sunlight and shelter from any precipitation in bad weather. Back in the 17th century, residents of hot countries used an umbrella as a shield from a scorching sun. It was called then "parasol".

In Europe, it was believed that tanning is a sign of non-aristocratic origin, so representatives of a noble family covered their faces with such an accessory, and in bad weather they were at home at all. But soon the tradition of hiding from the sun was broken: the parasol began to be used as a shelter from snow and rain. He could tell a lot about his owner: made in tiers, decorated with stones and embroidered with gold threads, he emphasized the status of a person.

Over time, the parasol from a "noble" item turned into a fashion accessory that anyone could afford to buy. One had only to look into any grocery store, purchase a wonderful thing - and ordering a carriage for the trip was not at all necessary.

Modern umbrellas, like their predecessors, also save in sunny and rainy weather. Today, in shopping centers and boutiques, a huge variety of products are presented, which differ from each other in material color, design and folding method.

Before heading to the store for a new item, you need to familiarize yourself with some tips and characteristics. There are 2 types of umbrellas:

• The cane umbrella is large, strong, elegant, with a round dome. It doesn't fold in seconds. It often has to be carried in the hands, as it does not fit in a bag;

• Foldable model: this umbrella is convenient, compact and fits easily into a small handbag.

The first models of umbrellas were a monolithic structure consisting of a fixed one-piece frame and a stretched dome. Gradually, each unit became mechanized. This was done to make the accessory easy to use. The simplified unfolding system of the device allows it to be placed not only in a purse, but also in a drawer or closet: the umbrella does not take up much space, it is convenient to carry and store.

According to the method of folding, an important household item is of 3 types:

• Mechanical;
• Semi-automatic;
• Automatic and double automatic.

As a rule, reed models are opened mechanically, that is, manually. It takes some time, and you have to act with both hands. In some cases, this is just inconvenient. When unfolding the cane, you do not need to use force to avoid breakage of the knitting needles and fasteners.

They have many distinctive qualities:

• Special frame design;
• You can rely on such an accessory;
• It has a large canopy area compared to other umbrellas - it cannot be hidden in a bag, since it is large.

Models with a semi-automatic mechanism are easily opened using a button located on the handle. At the same time, the umbrella shaft extends all the way, and the canopy must be opened manually. This is a quick and easy way compared to mechanics. Such umbrellas are also closed manually. Some of them are protected from strong wind gusts.

A household item with a semi-automatic mechanism has a number of features:

• Incomplete accelerated disclosure;
• Insufficient economy of effort during operation.

With an umbrella with an automatic opening mechanism, you can instantly hide from unwanted rainfall. This is especially convenient if you have important items in your hands, for example, documents, money, a mobile phone or keys.

The vending machine opens quickly and easily by lightly pressing the button located on the handle. In this case, one by one, in a matter of seconds, the stem extends and the dome opens. To prevent the umbrella from opening instantly, when folded, it has a lock. Closing of the accessory is also done automatically. A special spring available in the design of a full automatic machine serves as a good protection for the spokes against whirlwinds and hurricanes. In addition, these umbrellas have two, three or 4 folds, which is very convenient and practical.

Products have many advantages:

• They save a lot of time and effort;
• You don't need to use your second hand;
• It is a modern accessory that makes it easy to quickly hide from the rain caught by surprise;
• Convenient in a crowded crowd: they can be raised and opened over your head.

An important part of the automatic umbrella design is the fabric that covers the dome. To determine the quality of an item, you need to take into account some of the features of the materials:

• Nylon accessories are durable and resistant to external harsh factors. Most automatic models are made from this material. They are unpretentious and can last for a long time, so such products have rightfully earned the title of a favorite.

• Polyester umbrellas are sleek and durable. The material perfectly repels water droplets, thanks to a special impregnation and withstands the sun's rays well. Sometimes this fabric is mixed with cotton - it turns out to be softer and more pleasant to the touch.

• A good option is a pongee umbrella.This fabric resembles a raincoat. Due to the rough surface, water does not linger on it and rolls down, which is quite practical when drying.

• Some household items are made of rubberized satin. The material is of high quality: it combines the qualities of pongee and polyester.
• Recently, Teflon fabric has been used for umbrellas. It is thinner and softer than pongee, and depending on the light, it changes the color shade.

The choice of color, pattern and ornament depends on tastes and preferences. People with a classic look usually want to buy a solid color umbrella. Black and gray colors are considered male models. Women tend to like subtle pastels, teals, oranges, or reds. Bright options with pictures or inscriptions are suitable for young ladies.

When choosing a rain protection accessory, pay special attention to its handle. It should be comfortable and not slip out of your hands. Most automatic models have a wooden handle, which is more durable than a plastic one.

Fiberglass and steel are reliable, resilient and durable. The ideal solution would be to choose an umbrella with titanium-plated knitting needles. Even strong hurricanes will not be afraid of such a product.

When considering and choosing an umbrella with an automatic opening mechanism, it is important to consider the following details:

• Check several times if the opening mechanism is in good working order. They should be easy to open with one hand movement.
• Twist the object in different directions: do the needles dangle and parts fly off? The needles should be at the same angle and not bent.
• Look at the fabric: the upholstery should be well-taut and not loose.
• Pay attention to the details: so that the seams are neat, with constant stitching, without gaps.
• Open the umbrella and stop looking at the dome. At the top there is a cap, which should fit snugly against the fabric and be attached to the structure.

In order for your favorite household item to last a long time, there are a few simple rules on how to take care of it:

• The automatic umbrella must not be dried open near heating appliances. This can damage the fabric and knitting needles. Better to hang it somewhere and leave it half-open.
• Periodic cleaning is required, especially after heavy soiling. This can be done in a container of warm, soapy water. It is enough to place an umbrella there for 10 minutes and then rinse it with a shower. Stains can be removed with a solution of ammonia.
• A vinegar solution is applied to the dome with a soft sponge to freshen the color of the fabric.
