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 truly 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 anything. Ijust noticed a problem and came up with an idea,” 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 thing about the Nubrella is that you don’t hold it like a normal umbrella; you wear it. When walking in the rain with the Nubrella, your hands are free, so you are able to use your phone or drink a hot cup of coffee .Also, the Nubrella is much safer than old ones.
