Abstract (en)

An automatic umbrella has a signaling device (100) including sensor and alert units (10,20). The sensor unit (10) has a first sensor (11) mounted on one of a handle (400) and a lower end (2301) of a central shaft (200), and a second sensor (12) which is movable with a runner (300) and which is configured to activate the sensor unit (10) to emit a signal once a predetermined spatial relationship is established between the first and second sensors (11,12) as a result of movement of the second sensor toward said first sensor (11) once the runner (300) is moved to reach the handle (400). The alert unit (20) is mounted on the handle (400) to receive the signal and generate an alert indication to indicate that the umbrella is in a closed state.
