Quick-folding Umbrella
Umbrella
The handle and tips of the ribs are fitted with magnets so that when the umbrella is closed, the magnets at the tips are attached to the one at the handle, thus preventing the umbrella from unfolding. Also, by turning the handle, the ribs are moved along so that the umbrella can be folded without touching the wet ribs and fabric.
Innovative idea!
