Bumpbrella Hi-tech Umbrella At RKS Design
The "Bumpbrella concept" of an umbrella is a worthwhile idea since there will always be instances of persons "bumping" into each other with their umbrellas opened. The Bumpbrella seems to offer users a chance to smile when these incidents occur rather than evoke hostile reactions when pricked by exposed "metal ribs" of traditional black brollies.
'The Bumpbrella is an inflatable umbrella that utilizes a bicycle pump mechanism in the center for the arm. By pumping, it inflates into an umbrella that one can see through, thereby protecting you against the elements and from getting poked by another umbrella. By turning the handle backwards, it would deflate the umbrella. The markings on the umbrella are illumined by three super-bright LEDs, which creates a very unique look.'
