Rest the umbrella on any vertical surface, compress the power spring by lowering the umbrella fixation sleeve.

Loosely disconnect all hooks from the rods.

For children's umbrellas of full automata, it happens that it stops returning to its original position. This is due to the fact that the protrusion of the latch hook could change its shape or break. If the integrity of the protrusion of the latch is violated, the umbrella will no longer fold.
