The history and design of umbrellas

Even before our earliest ancestors had the idea to wear this “roof” over their heads.

Now it is difficult to find out exactly where and when the ancestors of modern umbrellas appeared, but most likely it was the eastern countries.

Made the very first umbrellas from bamboo and large palm leaves.

In the beginning, they had only a practical purpose: to protect us from the rain or the sun. At first it was only one kind of umbrella, but later they were divided into those that carry separately the function of protection from the sun and separately the function of protection from rain.

When the umbrella moved to Paris, it began to be made from a variety of materials, including silk. After all, the French try to make even practical things as aesthetically pleasing as possible. There were even special people who, for a fee, carried umbrellas during rainy weather.

The part by which we hold an umbrella has its own separate history. This was the strap secured with a hinge, the knob, and the handle.

Several centuries ago in England was created the closest relative of modern umbrellas – an umbrella on metal spokes – such a design we use now.

What are modern umbrellas made of?? These are the rod base, the frame, the covers, the handle, and the tips.

For the manufacture of small parts of the frame are used wire along with steel tape. The rod is a hollow metal tube.

At the top of the rod is the crown, with which the bars of the framework are connected. At the ends of the bars are plastic or metal tips, to which the tire is sewn. The stops are also attached to the bars.

The rod at the top is the tip, and at the bottom is what we hold in our hand. Handles can be very diverse in shape, design, material of manufacture.

The number of tires from eight to fourteen – they are cut by wedges, which are sewn and welded.

The cover is a shaping factor in the appearance of an umbrella. It is made of specialized fabrics. What are these fabrics, which do not let water in?? They are composed of polyamide filaments.
