The popularity of Taipei’s shared bicycle system led a student to create a similar system for umbrellas. It was one of nearly two dozen ideas from students at National Taipei University of Technology to be nominated for an upcoming design exhibition.

An assortment of innovative designs was nominated for the annual Young Designers Exhibition. This year, 23 nominees are from National Taipei University of Technology, with the most eye-catching invention being this public umbrella rental system.

To use the system, you swipe an Easycard and an umbrella is dispensed. The inventor says his upbringing gave him inspiration.

I grew up in the northern part of Taiwan, which experiences lots of rain. It can be quite troublesome to have no umbrella, so I thought that this design would help people who experience the same problem.

And there’s this plant hanger, which doubles as an emergency sandbag. When placed on the ground and folded it can repel water in the event of a natural disaster.

Manufacturers use this exhibition to find designs that have potential and make contact with these students. Instructors are here to help out so the products can be commercialized.

Enterprises have already discussed mass production with some of the students. The channel allows students to fulfill their dream of bringing designs to the world.


【記者張卓婷、吳宗哲報導】現在YouBike很夯,大家都可以用悠遊卡輕鬆租借,有北科大學生,還設計出「悠遊傘」。這套「公共傘租借系統」,研發學生家住基隆,每天出門回家常淋雨,因此想到如果搭捷運也可以比照刷悠遊卡借傘,即使忘記帶傘也不怕下雨了,設計獲得評審讚賞。

展場裡各類型創新的設計品,一字擺開,讓人看了眼花撩亂,一年一度的「新一代設計展」,公佈入圍名單,北科大入圍23件,其中最受矚目的就是這個公共傘租借系統。

民視記者張卓婷:「以後來到捷運站只要拿起悠遊卡,輕輕一刷雨傘就能馬上借出來。」

雨傘使用完畢後,只要到傘架的起點端,把傘推進卡榫,接著再刷一次悠遊卡,就能完成整個租借程序。設計的劉同學說,從小住在多雨的基隆,才有了這個構想。

北科大工設系學生劉庭瑋:「畢竟我是從小長大在很常下雨的北部,然後常常遇到就是下雨,然後沒有雨傘可以用這種尷尬情形,希望說能有這個設計,然後提供給遇到這種困擾情況的人,能有一個嶄新的選擇。」

下雨下不停,不只會用到雨傘,還可能要準備沙包防範淹水,這時沙包盆栽就能派上用場,平常是掉掛式的可愛盆栽,但只要把它折疊起來就能變身沙包,用來擋水防災。

北科大工設系主任黃啟梧:「廠商通常有時候透過這個展覽,他們來看了以後,發現這個產品有潛力,就會跟同學進行接觸,那我們老師從旁協助,讓它可以商品化。」

入圍的設計作品,許多都已經在申請專利中,更有不少廠商,看到商品的創意跟實用性,馬上進行接洽,計畫量產。學生們發揮創意,用嶄新的創作表現自己的設計功力。
