ABSTRACT:
A water collector for umbrella includes: a catcher member having a plurality of resilient jaws radially secured to a central collar or a retainer fixed on a tip portion of the umbrella, an absorbent lining secured to an inner surface of the catcher member for absorbing rainwater or raindrops drained from a wet umbrella when retracted or closed, and a web member circumferentially disposed around an outer surface of the catcher member, whereby upon opening of an umbrella cloth as urged by the umbrella ribs and tensioning springs, the rainwater absorbed and held in the absorbent lining in the catcher member will be outwardly squeezed and stripped as the lining is pressed in between the opened umbrella cloth and the resilient jaws of the catcher member, thereby automatically squeezing and removing water from the umbrella as previously absorbed in the water collector of the umbrella.
