ABSTRACT:
A self-supporting umbrella has a handle at a base end portion of a front shank and a ferrule at a front end portion of said shank. The ferrule includes a plurality of legs which are capable of being opened and closed. A projection which extends inward is formed inside a base end of each of the leg portions so as to pivotally mount the base end of each of the legs on a ferrule base portion. A resilient member is fitted into a front end portion of the shank such that a leg operating member having a restricted section in an axially intermediate portion thereof can be disposed on a front end of the resilient member. The restricted section is adapted to pinch therein the projection. The leg operating member is urged by a resilient force of the resilient member toward the front end of the umbrella. An adjusting device is provided in the handle, and a connecting member is provided to connect the adjusting device and the leg operating member together such that the legs are opened and closed by moving the leg operating member by the adjusting device via the connecting member.
