BACKGROUND
[0002] Umbrella is used to protect an entity from rain, snow, and sun rays from centuries. Conventional umbrellas generally include a pole, spines, and a cloth attached on the spines. The pole is strong enough to endure the weight of the spines and the canopy, and pole is hold by a user to use the umbrella. Although conventional umbrellas provides protection from rain/snow falling straightly, and only the top third part of a user's body is prevented. Accordingly, a large portion of the user's body may be exposed to the rain, also items such as backpacks, shopping bags, purses, and other valuable items, carried by the user may remain exposed. Moreover, conventional umbrellas may fail to protect users from heavy rain, particularly when rain is being driven by wind. In such circumstances, wind coupled with rain, snow, and hail may result in the user's lower body to become wet, and the user feels uncomfortable while walking, and sitting.
[0003] Efforts have been made in the related prior art to provide different solutions for protecting a large portion of the user’s. The arrangement disclosed in existing solutions provides the umbrella with a single curtain, and upon actuating a switch the curtain is opened up and provides full body protection. However, it’s a cumbersome task to walk properly while covered by the curtain with the umbrella, therefore, existing solutions fails to provide a complete comprehensive solution and does not create hindrance to the user while walking
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to overcome above mentioned problem of prior art by bringing a solution that facilitate in opening the curtain of required side only, and controls the length of the curtain according to user’s need.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
[0005] A general object of the present disclosure is to provide protection from rain, snow, hails and sun rays.
[0006] Another object of the present invention is to protect user’s full body along with items carried by the user.
[0007] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella which enables the user to open the curtain of umbrella of a preferred direction.
[0008] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella which enables the user to open preferred length of the curtain of umbrella.
[0009] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella which is user friendly, and easy to use.
