Its original purpose was to shade a person from the sun, a function that is still reflected in the word "parasol," (derived from the French parare, " to shield" and sol, "sun") a smaller-sized one used primarily by women. There is an abundance of references to the usage of parasols in art and literature from ancient Africa, Asia, and Europe. For example, the Egyptian goddess Nut shielded the earth like a giant umbrella—only her toes and fingertips touched the ground—thus protecting humanity from the unsafe elements of the heavens. Among the qualities one might look for in an umbrella is the comfort of the handle, the ease with which it is opened and closed, and the closeness with which the canopy segments are connected to the ribs.Materials used to manufacture them have, of course, improved through the years. One of the most important innovations came in the early 1850s, when Samuel Fox conceived the idea of using "U" shaped steel rods for the ribs and stretchers to make a lighter, stronger frame. Previously, they had been made from either cane or whalebone and were bulky and awkward. Advancements in metal-producing technology have made rounded metal ribs and stretchers more feasible, however, and some manufacturers produce umbrellas with these components. Modern devices are made with fabrics (nylon, most commonly) that can withstand a drenching rain, dry quickly, fold easily, and are available in a variety of colors and designs.The application offers pictures of different types of umbrellas: automatic, compact, children, high fashion and artistic ones.
