Also, the Nubrella is safer than traditional ones and will never be inverted(颠倒) in the wind.
The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in his shop amd began to look at people’s umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew pictures.
