I am the President of Duo LLC and the co-inventor of the patented dual-handle umbrella, a device that makes sharing an umbrella safe and simple. With "The Duo," we are reimagining the way people stay dry and safe in the rain with a new umbrella experience. The umbrella is among the oldest inventions in history, dating back 3,000 years to Chinese and Egyptian Days. Since then, very little has changed about the conventional umbrella, and it works perfectly fine when it was used by one person, but when you add another person of a different height, it no longer serves its intended purpose and function. "The Duo" conveniently and comfortably adds a second, hidden, adjustable, retractable handle that extends from the first handle to enable two people of different heights to walk and hold an umbrella at the same time. Our utility patents also covers a range of other ways to modify an existing conventional umbrella to add a second, adjustable handle.
