Patent number: 10212997Abstract: A collapsible umbrella with automatic closing structure has an extendable rod automatically retracting toward a runner away from its users by pressing of a button. The extendable rod includes an outer tube, an intermediate tube, an inner tube and a first spring. The tubes respectively have one, two, and three groove sections along outer peripheries thereof. A runner of the collapsible umbrella has axial protrusion to release a resilient section of a first clip from a first slot hole, thereby retracting a first spring for the intermediate tube being retracted into the outer tube; then a resilient section of a second clip is released from a second slot hole, thereby retracting the inner tube into the intermediate tube. The structure enables the users to close and fold the collapsible umbrella with single hand and has the extendable rod closing in a direction away from the users, so as to prevent from splashes of the rain and potential injuries during the retracting and folding.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Inventor: Ming-Ta Hsieh
