Umbrella handle types

The types of handles used for umbrellas
We have grouped them below by style, material, and processing method.
We will introduce them in order.

① Umbrella handle style
Long umbrella handle
In many cases, the center rod and the handle are completely glued together. The most commonly used shape is the curved type.		 Two-fold umbrella handle
Many of them are removable with screws. There are also long cylindrical types and ones with curved handles.		 Mini umbrella handle
Many of them are removable with screws. Most of them are short and cylindrical, giving them a compact impression.

The handles of long umbrellas are generally curved.
To attach our handles, we use cotton thread and a special adhesive to firmly attach them to the main body.
The handles of folding umbrellas vary slightly in size between two-fold umbrellas and mini umbrellas, but the screw-type handle is commonly used.

② Handle material and material name
Plastics: Acrylic, polystyrene, etc. Natural wood: maple, oak, rattan, ego, bamboo, etc. Metals Brass, zinc alloy, aluminum alloy, etc. Synthetic leather made of vinyl chloride and polyurethane material. Core = wood, plastic, etc.

The handle materials are mainly plastic, natural wood, metal, and synthetic leather.
Plastic is easy to process and only requires painting once.
Another characteristic is that they often have a lightweight handle.
The appeal of natural wood is its natural texture and feel.
The handle is the most time-consuming part of the knife, as it requires 4 to 5 coats of paint to soak into the wood.
Metal can create a unique texture and a stylish look.
Synthetic leather allows for free design and is highly water-resistant.

③ Handle processing method
There are various types of processing, such as hand cutting, drawing, carving, and finishing (processing wood and plastic). Plastic processing (molding)
Plastic is poured into a mold to form the shape. High-precision design processing is possible.		 Metal processing (casting)
Molten metal is poured into a mold to create a slender relief pattern.		 Bending process: A processing method in which natural wood is bent using steam.

The main processing methods are as described above, and by combining these, a single handle is completed.
For example, the wooden handle is first bent, then carved.
It is completed after finishing processes such as painting.
If you want to attach a metal part to the bottom of the wooden handle,
The metal is processed into a shape, and then attached to a wooden handle to complete the product.
