Umbrella facts
- It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight
- The word "umbrella" typically refers to a device used for protection from rain
- The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun
- Often the difference is the material used for the canopy; some parasols are not waterproof
- Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic
- Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use
- The largest hand-portable umbrellas are golf umbrellas
- Umbrellas can be divided into two categories: fully collapsible umbrellas, in which the metal pole supporting the canopy retracts, making the umbrella small enough to fit in a handbag, and non-collapsible umbrellas in which the support pole cannot retract; only the canopy can be collapsed
- Another distinction can be made between manually operated umbrellas and spring-loaded automatic umbrellas which spring open at the press of a button
- Hand-held umbrellas have some type of handle, either a wooden or plastic cylinder or a bent "crook" handle (like the handle of a cane)
