Ah, the contribution!
The Kasapon dispenser, a device which automatically bags wet umbrellas,
has recently been improved with the addition of an “umbrella bag collection machine”—
an extension which cleanly removes water-filled umbrella bags no longer in use.
This lo-tech contraption comes with the hi-tech price tag of $1800,
but the pleasure of never again having to manhandle a cold,
clammy umbrella is surely priceless.
