Sprout Umbrella by Matthew Swinton
The canopy and all the hardware is enclosed in the handle. A knob on its face turns to unlock the inner mechanism. The knob slides down the umbrella, forcing the canopy arms out through the top of the shaft. The flexible plastic arms are bent as the exit the handle, pulling the canopy with it. When fully open, the knob is turned back to lock the umbrella open.
Designer: Matthew Swinton

This design looks very similar to the umbrella conceived by Andy Wana (from Australia) “Lotus 23″ http://www.gizmag.com/go/3967/
Patrick says
yep, sure does…..and the funny thing is that he won the award for that design in 2005. I designed that back in 2004 and sent it into an invention company, but just couldnt get a patent on it yet bc it costs money. WHAT A COINCIDENCE. After all of these years that we have had the same umbrella design, i think of a new one, send it in, dont get it patented, and the next year it’s on market…..

Ingenious design. Is it better, or cheaper, or more durable, than traditional umbrellas?
Wouldn’t rain collect in the depression in the center of the umbrella top? Wouldn’t that water flow down the handle?
Makz says

Hi, just wondering if this umbrella has solved the common problem of umbrellas turning inside out?
Would love to know if would like to wholesale?
Thanks

Hi. This msg is probably coming really late. But once you publicly disclose a design you can no longer patent it.
