Description

Umbrella Dehydrator The present invention relates to an umbrella rainwater removal device. An umbrella used during rain or snowfall has a form in which metal or plastic spreaders and ribs are formed radially starting from a shank to which the handle is attached, and a canopy made of waterproof fabric or vinyl is placed over it, and may include a cap for securing the canopy to the shank. The umbrella needs to be formed so that snow and rain can easily flow down along the outer edge of the canopy when the canopy is opened, and to this end, the ribs are formed in a streamlined, curved, or inclined manner toward the tips centered on the umbrella cap. Although there may be slight variations depending on the material or coating, it is inevitable that moisture remains on the surface of the canopy after use. In particular, when the umbrella is folded immediately after use, a large amount of moisture seeps into the fold area and drips down. If the umbrella is handled indoors immediately after use in this manner, the moisture remaining on the canopy or dripping down can cause problems such as water seeping into clothing, causing discomfort, or wetting the floor, leading to slipping accidents. To resolve the above-mentioned problems, it has become common practice to place plastic bags for wrapping wet umbrellas at entrances; however, this is not desirable as it entails economic and environmental problems caused by the overuse of disposable plastic bags. Furthermore, since these plastic bags are easily damaged by the sharp caps or tips of umbrellas and are prone to losing their function, there are limitations in resolving the aforementioned problems. Meanwhile, examining the invention disclosed in Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0393832, it describes an umbrella rainwater removal device comprising a plurality of ultra-microfiber towels installed to absorb rainwater from an umbrella upon contact with it as it moves. In other words, the umbrella rainwater removal device described in the document consists of ultra-microfiber towels as a means of removing rainwater from an umbrella. However, this method removes rainwater by absorbing it during the movement of the umbrella; consequently, the effectiveness of the removal decreases once the towel has absorbed the water, resulting in the disadvantages of being unable to be used multiple times and prone to wear and tear. Additionally, if additional tasks such as washing and drying are not performed after use, there is a disadvantage of bacterial proliferation and the generation of unpleasant odors. FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 are perspective views showing the appearance of an umbrella rainwater remover in use according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an umbrella rainwater collector when stored according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a rotating module according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of an umbrella rainwater collector according to the present invention. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating the composition of an umbrella. Hereinafter, embodiments disclosed in this specification will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
