The umbrella is used to avoid rain and snow when it rains or snow. When you avoid the snow or rain from the outdoors, spread the umbrella. When you enter the room, fold the umbrella. When the umbrella used in rainfall and snowfall is taken into the room, rainwater or the like may fall on the floor of the room and pollute the room, causing safety accidents such as slipping due to the rainwater falling off. To solve this problem, install an umbrella packing machine at the entrance of a large-scale building or a public office with a large number of people in public places, cover the wet umbrella with a plastic cover, and carry the umbrella stand. do. However, once used vinyl covers are not recyclable, they cause environmental pollution problems due to waste of resources and wastes and cause pollution around the entrance of buildings. In the case of the umbrella stand, there are many problems such as the limited number of storable umbrellas and the risk of loss.

In order to solve these problems, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1355955 discloses an umbrella removing apparatus for removing water from the umbrella by rotating the umbrella several times while the umbrella is inserted. The present invention relates to an umbrella removing apparatus for absorbing moisture from an umbrella and twisting the absorbing member to discharge moisture to the outside. However, as described in the above-mentioned invention, it is considered that the method of dropping the water absorbed in the absorbing member downwardly will not be easy to discharge water on the structure of the vertically arranged absorbing projections. Accordingly, the inventor of the present invention intends to provide a method for solving such problems.
