Abstract
The folding umbrellas are widely loved by consumers because of their small size, light weight and easy carrying. And the comfort of use of folding umbrellas is inseparable from the study of human factors engineering since the folding umbrellas have the most direct contact with the human body. There are many different kinds of folding umbrellas on the market, but almost for commercial purposes, which has led to an increasingly terrible experience of the inconvenience of existing folding umbrellas. Consequently, in order to let consumers get a better experience during the use of the folding umbrellas, this paper, from the perspective of the human factors engineering, attempts to find out the deficiencies of the folding umbrellas design and the possible design breakthroughs, and propose innovative ideas for folding umbrellas design.
