Abstract:

The Sprouting Umbrella sets itself apart from any other umbrella by the way it is designed to open and close. With it rib structure contained inside the shaft, the Sprouting Umbrella is able to open conversely instead of convexly, like most normally designed umbrella's. Due to this design of the rib structure, the umbrella has the ability to be opened using less space in the middle of the umbrella. It also allows the user to place the umbrella in a tighter spot than a normal umbrella, which in turn will keep the user more dry while entering and exiting their vehicle in the rain.
