Imbali yeambrela yemvula eneneni ayiqali ngebali leeambrela zemvula kwaphela.Kunoko, iambrela yemvula yanamhlanje yayiqale yasetyenziselwa ukuzikhusela kwimozulu emanzi, kodwa ilanga.Ngaphandle kwezinye iingxelo zaseTshayina yamandulo, iambrela yemvula yaqala njengeparasol (igama elidla ngokusetyenziswa kwi-sunshade) kwaye libhalwe njengelisetyenziswa kwiindawo ezifana neRoma yamandulo, iGrisi yamandulo, iJiphutha yamandulo, uMbindi Mpuma kunye neIndiya kwangenkulungwane yesi-4 yeXesha Eliqhelekileyo.
Kwiimeko ezininzi i-sunshade okanye i-parasol yayisetyenziswa ngokuyinhloko ngabasetyhini kumaxesha amandulo, kodwa amalungu obukhosi, abefundisi kunye nabanye abahloniphekileyo badla ngokuboniswa kwimizobo yamandulo kunye nala manduleli ukuya kwiiambrela zemvula zanamhlanje.Kuye kwade kwafika kwezinye iimeko ukuba iiKumkani zibhengeze ukuba ngaba abalawulwa babo bavunyelwe ukusebenzisa i-parasol, enika olu zuko kuphela kwabancedisi bakhe abathandayo.
Kuninzi lwababhali-mbali, kubonakala ngathi ukusetyenziswa okuxhaphakileyo kweambrela yemvula (oko kukuthi ukukhusela imvula) akuzange kufike de kwayinkulungwane ye-17 (kunye neengxelo ezithile zasekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-16) kumazwe akhethiweyo aseYurophu, kunye namaTaliyane, isiFrentshi namaNgesi akhokelayo.Iiambrela ze-1600's zazilukwe ngesilika, nto leyo eyayinika ukuxhathisa okulinganiselweyo kwamanzi xa kuthelekiswa neeambrela zemvula zanamhlanje, kodwa ukumila kwecanopy okwahlukileyo akuzange kutshintshe kuyilo lwamandulo olubhaliweyo.Noko ke, kwanasemva kweminyaka yee-1600, iiambrela zemvula zazigqalwa njengemveliso yamabhinqa abalaseleyo kuphela, yaye amadoda ayegculelwa xa ebonwa enazo.
Embindini wenkulungwane ye-18, iambrela yemvula yafudukela kwizinto zemihla ngemihla phakathi kwabasetyhini, kodwa kwathi kwada kwada kwayila iNgesi uJonas Hanway wayilayo waza waphatha iambrela yemvula kwizitrato zaseLondon ngowe-1750 apho amadoda aqalisa ukuqaphela.Nangona wayegculelwa ekuqaleni, uHanway wayephatha iambrela yemvula naphi na apho wayesiya khona, yaye ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1700, iambrela yemvula yaba yinto eqhelekileyo kumadoda namabhinqa.Enyanisweni, ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1700 nasebutsheni beminyaka yee-1800, “iHanway” yaguquka yaba lelinye igama leambrela yemvula.
Ukutyhubela iminyaka yee-1800 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, izinto ezisetyenziselwa ukwenza iiambrela zemvula ziye zavela, kodwa kwaloo milo isisiseko yecanopy isahleli.I-Whalebones ithathelwe indawo ngamaplanga, emva koko intsimbi, i-aluminium kwaye ngoku i-fiberglass yokwenza i-shaft kunye neembambo, kunye neempahla ze-nylon eziphathwayo zanamhlanje zithathe indawo yesilika, amagqabi kunye neentsiba njengendlela yokukhetha imozulu.
Kwi-Ovida Umbrella, iiambrela zethu zemvula zithatha uyilo lwecanopy yemveli ukusuka ngo-1998 kwaye ziyidibanise neyona teknoloji yesakhelo sanamhlanje, ilaphu lakho kunye noyilo oluphambili kwifashoni kunye nombala ukwenza umgangatho ophezulu, isambulela semvula esihonjisiweyo samadoda nabafazi banamhlanje.Siyathemba ukuba uyayixabisa inguqulelo yethu yeambrela yemvula njengoko sikonwabela ukuzenza!
