Abstract (en)

Improved umbrella, formed by a shaft (1) fitted with a number of articulated ribs (3,4) on two rings (7,8), one fixed (7) and another movable (8) on a fixing, the ribs being able to be folded on the shaft, and presenting over these ribs a covering (5) of waterproof material, characterised because the ribs (3,4) are suitable for folding on the shaft (1) towards the opposite end from the handle, this end being prolonged beyond the ends of the folded ribs (3), noting that at the end of the shaft opposite to the handle there is a cap (2) whose inner edge is open preferably in a conical trunk shape and which forms a receptacle to receive the water dripped from the umbrella, the umbrella being in the folded position with the ends of ribs (3) pointing towards the interior of the receptacle (2) formed by the cap around the end of the shaft, the umbrella also presenting finally, attached over the articulated ribs, a second protective covering (6) over the said ribs (3,4). <IMAGE>
