An umbrella mounting system for PURPOSE includes a cart that may be urged along a support surface. The cart has a plurality of horizontal members. An umbrella is provided that has a shaft and a canopy. A mounting unit is removably coupled to the cart. The mounting unit insertably receives the shaft such that the canopy is positioned over the cart. Thus, the umbrella shades an area around the cart.

A portable shade assembly for use in providing shade and sun protection, and thus substantially cooler temperatures, to an outdoor environment. More particularly, a shade assembly for use in providing sun and Ultraviolet (UV) protection for a variety of different industrial uses and for use in being transported to a variety of different locations. More particularly still, a portable shade assembly comprising a spring-loaded frame, a shade screen, and a continuous cable, wherein said cable is run throughout said frame, thereby being able to extend and retract said shade screen, as needed.

An expandable shelter includes a canopy adjustable in length along a longitudinal axis. Legs support the canopy in an A-frame configuration defining an apex angle along an upper ridgeline. A shaded or sheltered area that is variable in length and width is defined. A mobile shelter includes multiple protective structures, each supported by a respective generally vertical supporting column having a lower handle configured to be gripped and supported by a respective bearer. Each handle may be toroidal in shape for use at any angle. Non-level terrain may be traversed by coordinated movements of bearers with regard to each respective handle such that the protective structures are maintained in a desired configuration.

A magnetic umbrella swivel holder system comprising a swivel umbrella holder, further comprising an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion is a first tube with a diameter sized to hold an umbrella pole, the lower portion is a second tube. Preferably, the upper portion is connected to the lower portion with a pivot device. A magnet is preferably removably attached to the lower portion using a fastener that threadably attaches to a receptacle fitted within the lower portion such that the magnet forms a bottom surface.

The invention is an umbrella-like canopy assembly and the container in which it can be stored. The resulting apparatus can be secured to a hand-controlled mobile carrier. The canopy assembly can be moved from a storage position within the container and then opened to cover, in the least, a portion of the container and preferably one or more areas designated by the user of the mobile carrier. With the apparatus secured to the mobile carrier, for instance, the user and also preferably the contents of the carrier can be shield from the sun and other environmental elements (e.g., rain, snow, and wind). The main parts of the apparatus are the canopy assembly, which is attached to the inside of the container, and means for securing the container to the mobile carrier.
