![]() ![]() An umbrella may also be called a brolly ( UK slang), parapluie ( nineteenth century, French origin), rainshade, gamp ( British, informal, dated), or bumbershoot ( rare, facetious American slang). Parasol may also be called sunshade, or beach umbrella ( US English). Larger parasols capable of blocking the sun for several people are often used as fixed or semi-fixed devices, used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or as points of shade on a sunny beach. Umbrellas are available in a range of price and quality points, ranging from inexpensive, modest quality models sold at discount stores to expensive, finely made, designer-labeled models. Hand-held umbrellas have a type of handle which can be made from wood, a plastic cylinder or a bent "crook" handle (like the handle of a cane). Another distinction can be made between manually operated umbrellas and spring-loaded automatic umbrellas, which spring open at the press of a button. Umbrellas can be divided into two categories: fully collapsible umbrellas, in which the metal pole supporting the canopy retracts, making the umbrella small enough to fit in a handbag, and non-collapsible umbrellas, in which the support pole cannot retract and only the canopy can be collapsed. The largest hand-portable umbrellas are golf umbrellas. Umbrellas and parasols are primarily hand-held portable devices sized for personal use. There are also combinations of parasol and umbrella that are called en-tout-cas (French for "in any case"). ![]() Umbrella canopies may be made of fabric or flexible plastic. Often the difference is the material used for the canopy some parasols are not waterproof, and some umbrellas are transparent. The term umbrella is traditionally used when protecting oneself from rain, with parasol used when protecting oneself from sunlight, though the terms continue to be used interchangeably. It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight.
