After the last review, the tutor suggested me
to find a way to remove the umbrella handle or
to avoid it in a good way during the use,
because the umbrella handle will be very
obstructed and interfere with the normal rest
when people lie on the blanket.
Iron frame, put the outside of the umbrella,
the umbrella to hang up.The idea came from a titration rack in
a chemical experiment.However, after
many experiments, I found that the
drawback was that such an iron frame
was too heavy to fit the theme of portable.
Make a semi-circular stand out of
cardboard to hold the umbrella up.
This was inspired by a handmade piece.However,
after the experiment, it was found that the paper
ring could hardly bear all the weight of the umbrella.
After repeated thickening, the paper ring was tested
again. The good news was that the paper ring could
bear and stand.
Use wire to make a stand and place
it on either side of the umbrella.
Inspired by the garden rack, it is easy
to make and has a unique way of
standing.And very heavy.
After I prepared the tools, I began
to make the wire.Because the iron
wire is not heavy enough, after
many experiments to thicken the
iron wire, finally made can
withstand the weight of the
umbrella.
Iron wire making processThe single wire
was too thin to support the weight of the
umbrella, and even the wire itself could
not stand.After four or five times of
thickening, and also with the color of
the wire in the periphery of the winding
again, so that the thickness of the
wire increased.
With the support of the iron frame on both sides,
I made the handle of the umbrella the shortest,
so that it would not be affected when the user
lay down.
