ABSTRACT:
An automatic close umbrella is disclosed. As folding an umbrella, the user presses a control device on a handle by one finger so that a tenon is released from a buckle and thus the buckle unit of the lower rib collector is separated from the lower central pole. Furthermore, the lower rib collector descends due to the elasticity of a first elastomer disposed between the upper rib collector and lower rib collector further addition of impacting the hook device of the central pole. Thereby, two central poles are separated from each other and the hook device of each central pole will be released. Therefore, each multi-section central pole is telescopic automatically. Furthermore, as the hinged ribs are folded, the canopy arranged on the hinged ribs will be closed. Thus, as the user enters into a room or a car, the user may close the umbrella easily by only one hand.
