Self Standing Umbrella
When you come out of that rainstorm with your trusty umbrella, there is always a problem just where to put the drenched thing. Well, here is a gadget that just might be the answer.
This Self Standing Umbrella is only a concept project right now. But I think it’s a great idea that will hopefully catch on. “Hironao Tsuboi, a creative designer, solved the third problem by creating an umbrella that stands on it’s own. That wasn’t as easy as it sounds; apparently he had to determine the center of gravity by a complex process by casting aluminum into different clay molds. Further series of tests were carried out to determine the optimal spread of the three legs.”
The gadget is made of ABS synthetic resin, which I think is a fancy word for plastic.
