What was the name of the person who invented the umbrella?

The basic umbrella was invented over four thousand years ago. We have seen evidence of umbrellas in the ancient art and artifacts of Egypt, Assyria, Greece, and China. These ancient umbrellas or parasols, were first designed to provide shade from the sun. The Chinese were the first to waterproof their umbrellas for use as rain protection. They waxed and lacquered their paper parasols in order to use them for rain. The word "umbrella" comes from the Latin root word "umbra", meaning shade or shadow. Starting in the 16th century umbrella became popular to the western world, especially in the rainy weather of northern Europe. At first it was considered only an accessory suitable for women. Then the Persian traveler and writer, Jonas Hanway (1712-86), carried and used an umbrella publicly in England for thirty years, and he popularized umbrella use among men. English gentleman often referred to their umbrellas as a "Hanway." The first all umbrella shop was called "James Smith and Sons". The shop opened in 1830, and is still located at 53 New Oxford St., in London, England. The early European umbrellas were made of wood or whalebone and covered with alpaca or oiled canvas. The artisans made the curved handles for the umbrellas out of hard woods like ebony, and were well paid for their efforts. In 1852, Samuel Fox invented the steel ribbed umbrella design. Fox also founded the "English Steels Company", and claimed to have invented the steel ribbed umbrella as a way of using up stocks of farthingale stays, steel stays used in women's corsets. African-American, inventor, William C. Carter patented an umbrella stand (U.S. patent#323,397 - see image left) on August the 8th, 1885. After that, compact collapsible umbrellas were the next major technical innovation in umbrella manufacture, over a century later.


What was it like before gunpowder was invented?

Before gun powder was made, there were knights and castles. Due to gunpowder, castles weren't made anymore because they couldn't stand cannon ball assaults. Knights didn't exist because after the gun was invented, there were no need for swords and jousts. Then came infantrys (soldiers on foot with weaponry).

Get the Most out of Your Umbrella Stand?

A great tip to get the most out of your umbrella stand is to take down the umbrella stand, along with your patio umbrella, when you are not using them. This will help keep the patio umbrella stand and your patio umbrella safe from damaging winds. When you are ready to use them, simply break them out and enjoy a nice day outside.


Can you get a patio umbrella that doesnt attach to a table?

I do believe you can find a patio umbrella that doesn't attach to a table. A good place to start looking would be your local discount store like Walmart. Where you place a patio umbrella has more to do with the umbrella base or stand than it does the table. A table does help to stabilize the umbrella but it is not necessary. By getting a heavier umbrella stand or even a rolling umbrella stand you can place your outdoor umbrella any where you want to.
