Abstract
This invention relates to an improved umbrella design, the cover of which is of a transparent, as opposed to opaque, material. The umbrella is in the shape of a dome-topped cylinder, the diameter of which approximates the width of an average person's shoulders. In one embodiment, the umbrella cover encompasses the torso of the user; in another, only the head and upper body. The umbrella further includes a DC motor and a wiper blade for wiping precipitation from that segment of the cover immediately in front of the user's face, to enhance vision.
