The gap between the absorbers can be attached with a guide to prevent the umbrella from hanging on the annular frame when the umbrella is removed, in which case a large umbrella can be applied smoothly and water droplets can be effectively removed.

In addition, when a plurality of cutting surfaces are formed at predetermined locations at predetermined intervals to easily deform the absorber at the corner portions of the absorbers, the umbrella can be smoothly slid. It is preferable that the cut surface is deeply formed so that water droplets are easily absorbed from the end surface of the cut surface when the umbrella is inserted.

On the other hand, instead of the cut surface, each absorber may be divided into a plurality, so as to have a gap having the same size as the width of the cut surface.

The member for fixing the absorber to the frame may be made of metal such as stainless steel, plastic, or hard rubber so as not to corrode to water droplets. It is preferable to fix the circumference with a belt material.

When the drain pipe having a plurality of holes is formed inside the absorber so that the end thereof is exposed to the bottom or the bottom of the absorber, water droplets introduced into the absorber are introduced into the drain pipe through a plurality of holes formed on the outer circumferential surface, and again along the drain pipe. Since it will be discharged out of the absorber it is possible to maintain a constant absorption capacity. In this case, the drain pipe may be installed vertically, inclinedly installed, or bent.

In the lower part of the absorbent body, a plurality of absorbing rollers made of the same material as the absorbent body are arranged in a radial shape as if enclosing the umbrella and configured to be easily rotated, thereby absorbing even moisture adhered to the end of the umbrella.

Further, each absorbing roller is provided with a pressing plate for squeezing the absorbed droplets by pressing the absorbing roller at all times to maintain a constant absorbing capacity.

The lower part of the body may be installed to facilitate the withdrawal out of the body of the support dish for discharging the water supplied from the absorber to the outside, and in some cases may be used by connecting the drain pipe directly to the base plate.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail by the accompanying drawings.
