Descricption
The umbrella-grip is a detachable grip of umbrella which is grasped over the
Palmsonar in palm to extend shaft, to isolate vibrations and to scan without
rotating the umbrella. You can use the Palmsonar and an umbrella together
with a long cane. It is useful to walk in the rain under an umbrella when the eholocation
by ears is not sure.
Features
* It has a 33 mm diameter and 6 cm long cushion-part under a 18 mm diameter extension-shaft
which has a screw hole to an umbrella. The extension-shaft is made of beige ABS plastic.
The cushion is made of black rubber foam. It is 25 cm long and 90 grams.
* The extension-shaft extends the shaft of umbrella to position the Palmsonar
correctly.
* The cushion-part isolates vibrations to feel the vibration of the Palmsonar
better.
* The cushion-part rotates to let scan the beam of Palmsonar freely.
* It is replaced with the one of a common collapsible umbrella which has a screw-style
grip end.
How to use
* Support the bottom of the cushion-part by your middle and ring fingers, put the
side of cushion-part to the Palmsonar around the switch, and grasp both by
your thumb. Put the shaft of the umbrella on your shoulder to hold it.
* The cushion-part can be hung upside down on the edge of tables and such.
