An electrically-operated umbrella comprises a column (1), an upper tray (2), a lower tray (3), a plurality of long rods (4) and short rods (5); one end of each short rod (5) is hinged to the lower tray (3), while the other end of each short rod (5) is hinged to each long rod (4); a housing (30) is attached to a lower portion of the column (1); a rotatable rope shaft (8), a motor (10) and a transmission mechanism are placed inside the housing (30); a rope (80) is disposed on the rope shaft (8); a battery (40) and a circuit board are further disposed inside the housing (30); two control buttons (17,18) are disposed outside the housing (30). The present invention is rational and compact in structure, capable of electrically opening or folding the framework without manual operation, and low in cost.

A cantilevered umbrella, including a stand column, an umbrella tent and a cantilever is disclosed. One end of the cantilever is connected to the stand column through a shell in a rotating mode, and other end is connected with the umbrella tent. Rotation of the cantilever drives the umbrella tent to rotate, with opening of the umbrella tent rotating to a certain angle in a relatively horizontal direction. The cantilevered umbrella further includes a positioning part. One end of the positioning part is connected to the cantilever in a fixed mode, and other end extends into the shell. A first positioning portion is arranged on an inner wall of the shell, a second positioning portion is arranged on the positioning part, and the first and second positioning portions limit the cantilever in a circumferential rotating range through coordination.

A twist lock mechanism for easily achieving a secure locking relationship between an outer member and an inner member is provided for use on an umbrella with a ball-joint based for adaptive orientation, and a spike receiving base or anchoring base mechanism.
