Question

Have you ever wished to have an umbrella that makes your hands free? Alan Kaufman has come up with the “Nubrella”, which means “new”＋“umbrella”. It is the first hands? free umbrella in the world. The inventor says that it stops rain, wind and snow and can keep your head, face and hair dry.

“I never planned to invent a product. I just noticed a problem and came up with a solution, ” said the inventor. The idea for the invention began on one rainy day. Mr. Kaufman was standing in one of his stores. He began to look at people's umbrellas. He found that they had to try very hard to keep their umbrellas in the right place. At that moment an idea came into his mind. He ran to his desk and drew a picture. In this way, the Nubrella was born.

One cool feature of the Nubrella is that you don't hold it like a normal umbrella; you wear it. The shoulder straps (肩帶)of the Nubrella allow people to be fully hands?free, so when walking in the rain with the Nubrella, you are able to use your cell?phone or drink a hot cup of coffee. Also, the Nubrella will never be inverted(顛倒)in the wind. The new umbrella is far safer than traditional ones, because it has no sharp points.
