This umbrella is the obvious sample of the skin and bone structure. The umbrella fabric link with the umbrella stand by thread. They work together that without any of them would be rickety. At same time, the volume of the umbrella could be changed when the umbrella be opened and closed. This is one of the advantages of the skin and bone structure that the skin could be folded and the bone also could be adjusted.
