Filling the gaps in urban life: Automatic opening and closing with a flat structure changes your commute

Train station ticket gates, bus entrances, or building entrances. Have you ever felt incredibly frustrated when you were in a hurry and spent those few seconds folding your umbrella? You get your fingertips wet trying to gather the umbrella fabric, and you have to forcefully fold it while messing up your bag. A new folding umbrella that combines an automatic opening and closing function with a flat structure was created to eliminate these small everyday "noises."

From the perspective of an expert who has come into contact with many umbrellas, we will explore why this "flat, automatic opening and closing umbrella" has become an indispensable tool for modern urban dwellers. We will unravel its convenience and the features you should know about.

The liberation of being able to complete the process with one hand

The true value of an automatic umbrella is that it not only opens but also closes with the push of a button. Even if one hand is full with luggage, you can avoid the rain the moment you get out of the car and close the umbrella just before entering a building. Being able to perform this series of actions smartly not only saves time, but also gives you a sense of peace of mind.

Furthermore, this umbrella has undergone a unique evolution with its "flat shape." Conventional folding umbrellas are generally cylindrical, but the inside of the bag is basically a flat combination. Its thinness allows it to slip easily into the gaps between documents, just like a thick notebook or laptop, and is a logical answer for making the most of the limited space in a business bag without ruining its silhouette.

Characteristics as a tool and how to deal with it

The more advanced the functionality, the more unique characteristics it has. We'd like to share some points to keep in mind so that gadget lovers can make an informed choice.

• Weight and trade-off: The spring, which is the heart of the automatic opening and closing mechanism, and the sturdy frame structure that can withstand impacts make it certainly heavier than ultra-lightweight models. However, this is also a sign of reliability. Recently, with the use of carbon fiber and other materials, the weight barrier has been lowering year by year.

• The "etiquette" of retracting the shaft: Automatic umbrellas require a certain amount of force when pushing the shaft in after closing. This is the energy needed to charge the spring. Once you get the hang of pushing it in firmly from both ends in front of your belly button, it turns into a satisfying clicking sensation, like operating a machine.

• Value as an investment: Instead of throwing away cheap umbrellas, buy a well-constructed umbrella and maintain it. If it eliminates the stress of folding your umbrella every day during your commute, it's an extremely efficient investment that will improve your quality of life.
