INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Engage the button or slide lever near the handle of your umbrella as if you were going to open it all the way, but stop short of letting it lock in the open position. You'll have a smoother time fixing your umbrella's ribs while there's a little slack in them. The "ribs" are the slender metal spokes that support the canopy of an umbrella while it's open. Prop your umbrella upside down or clamp it upright between your knees so you'll be free to work on it with both hands. In this position, the ribs will still be slightly bent, which will make it easier to manipulate the main connector pieces. On a standard metal umbrella, you'll see two holes at the site where each rib joint connects with the one beside it. Pinch the ends of both ribs close together so that you can see through both holes. If the problem is not a dislocation but an actual break, you may have no choice but to throw your umbrella out and buy a new one. Use a wire cutter to snip a piece of small-gauge wire to the desired length. Slip one end of the wire through the aligned rib holes. Continue pushing the wire through until it's centered, with 12in (2.55.1cm) of wire hanging out on either side. It may help to hold the rib ends together with the fingers of your free hand while you focus on guiding the wire through. If you don't have anything else on hand, a bit of wire taken from a spare coat hanger may do the trick. Bend the ends of the wire toward one another so that they cross. Then, pinch both ends between your thumb and forefinger and twist them 4-5 times to tighten them down. Before you proceed, take a moment to make sure the wire is nice and secure. If your makeshift wire connector is too loose, your umbrella may not open correctly. Reconnecting the separated rib ends repairs the joint, allowing the umbrella to open and close properly once again. Clip off the long, jagged wire ends near the base of the twist. That way, they won't accidentally poke you or get in the way while you're opening the umbrella. Consider yourself rain-ready! Be sure to snip the wire straight across rather than at an angle. You could cut or scratch yourself on an angled wire end, if you're not careful.

SUMMARY: Open your umbrella halfway so that the ribs stick out at an angle. Line up the small holes on the ends of the rib. Insert a 24in (5.110.2cm) length of wire through both holes. Twist the wire tightly into place around the rib ends. Snip off the excess wire using your wire cutters.
