Reminder device

Abstract

A reminder device attached to an umbrella that can be removed from the umbrella and stored in a conspicuous position when the umbrella is removed by a person using the umbrella or carrying the umbrella for later use. The reminder device reminds the umbrella user that the umbrella should be returned to its normally stored position when the user returns to the area in which the umbrella is normally stored to enable the umbrella user to retrieve the umbrella in the event it has been forgotten and not returned to its normally stored position. The reminder device is a panel having magnetic properties to enable it to be attached to the exterior of a vehicle door adjacent the door handle and lock assembly with the panel being detachably connected to the normally provided retaining strap on an umbrella so that the panel can be separated from the umbrella and mounted on the vehicle door when a person leaves an automobile and carries the umbrella to a destination. When the user of the umbrella returns to the vehicle, the reminder device will remind the person that the umbrella was taken out of the automobile thereby enabling the person to retrieve the umbrella in the event it has been forgotten. When the umbrella is returned to the automobile, the reminder device is reapplied to the strap of the umbrella.
