| 20110048478 | Automatic Umbrella with a Closing Signaling Device - An automatic umbrella has a signaling device including sensor and alert units. The sensor unit has a first sensor mounted on one of a handle and a lower end of a central shaft, and a second sensor which is movable with a runner and which is configured to activate the sensor unit to emit a signal once a predetermined spatial relationship is established between the first and second sensors as a result of movement of the second sensor toward said first sensor once the runner is moved to reach the handle. The alert unit is mounted on the handle to receive the signal and generate an alert indication to indicate that the umbrella is in a closed state. | 03-03-2011 |
