A tilt device for an umbrella is a guide track assembly disposed in one of a first tilt member and a second tilt member. The guide track assembly has a first guide track member and a second guide track member. An enclosed guide track is within the guide track assembly. The guide track assembly is slideably received within the first tilt member. A driver that has an upper portion disposed in the second tilt member and a lower portion. The lower portion is disposed in the enclosed guide track. The enclosed guide track is configured to guide movement of the lower portion of the driver within the first tilt member. Movement of the driver causes the second tilt member to tilt relative to the first tilt member. The guide track assembly includes an open channel forming a part of a cord channel through the tilt device.

A cantilever umbrella including a frame having an upper tray and a lower tray is provided. Two first crossed rods, a transverse rod and a first long rib are articulated to the upper tray. Two second crossed rods and two first short ribs are articulated to the lower tray. One of the two first short ribs is articulated to a middle portion of the transverse rod and the other one is articulated to a middle portion of the first long rib. A middle portion of each second crossed rod is articulated to a middle portion of the first crossed rod on a same side. An end of each first crossed rod is articulated with a short-rib tray which is articulated to a short rib, and an end of each second crossed rod is articulated with a long-rib tray which is articulated to a long rib. The short ribs each has one end articulated to the short-rib tray and another end articulated to a middle portion of one of the long ribs. The upper tray and the two long-rib trays are each disposed with a cap thereon, and a canopy fabric is covered on the long ribs to form three canopies.
