Article- The Reason Asians Carry Umbrellas In The Sun
What I learnt
1. What’s 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.
2. Umbrella for sun protection
There is evidence of umbrellas in the ancient art and artifacts of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and China. These ancient umbrellas or parasols were first designed to provide shade from the sun.
3.Invention of umbrella
The basic umbrella was invented more than 4,000 years ago. The word “umbrella” comes from the Latin root word “umbra,” meaning shade or shadow. Starting in the 16th century the umbrella became popular in the western world, especially in the rainy climates of northern Europe. At first, it was considered only an accessory suitable for women. Then the Persian traveler and writer Jonas Hanway (1712-86) carried and used an umbrella publicly in England for 30 years. He popularized umbrella use among men. English gentleman often referred to their umbrellas as a “Hanway.” Another fun fact: Umbrellas have also been crafted into hats as early as 1880 and at least as recently as 1987.
Modern Times
In 1928, Hans Haupt invented the pocket umbrella. In Vienna, she was a student studying sculpture when she developed a prototype for an improved compact foldable umbrella for which she received a patent in September 1929. The umbrella was called “Flirt” and was made by an Austrian company. In Germany, the small foldable umbrellas were made by the company “Knirps,” which became a synonym in the German language for small foldable umbrellas in general.
In 1969, Bradford E Phillips, the owner of Totes Incorporated of Loveland, Ohio obtained a patent for his “working folding umbrella.”
