A sunshade umbrella capable of rotating left and right includes a base, a vertical column, a transverse rod, a drawing rod, an umbrella frame, a rotating mechanism for controlling the umbrella frame to rotate left and right, and an adjustment handle for driving the rotating mechanism to rotate. The umbrella frame has a lengthened rib, and a bottom end of the lengthened rib is connected to the rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes an upper clutch tooth mechanism and a lower clutch tooth mechanism. The adjustment handle is disposed on the lower clutch tooth mechanism. The upper clutch tooth mechanism and the lower clutch tooth mechanism are respectively disposed at the top end and the bottom end of the transverse rod, and are connected with each other through a connecting rod.

Umbrella devices, assemblies, and systems are shown and described. In one embodiment an umbrella assembly includes an umbrella having an aperture along a distal portion of a canopy, and a flagstaff to removably mate within the umbrella.

A cantilevered umbrella assembly with an arcuate guide track comprises a support column, a cantilever arm attached to the support column, and an at least partially arcuate configured guide track attached to the cantilever arm that defines a sweep axis and a plane. The guide track defines a first free end, a second free end and an apex between the first end and the second end along the sweep axis. The sweep axis defines a first tangent to the sweep axis at the first end, a second tangent at the second end, and a third tangent at the apex, wherein a first line drawn perpendicularly to the first tangent and a second line drawn perpendicularly to the third tangent form a first included angle in the plane of the guide track that ranges from 10 to 45 degrees.

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.

A shading system includes a base assembly, core assembly, a sensor expansion module coupled to the core assembly module, wherein the sensor expansion module includes one or more arm support assemblies; one or more arms connected to the one or more arm support assemblies. The base assembly includes one or more motors, one or more processors; one or more memory modules; a base motor controller; and computer-readable instructions, which when executed communicate movement direction and distance instructions to a base motor controller. The base assembly includes one or more motors, wherein the base motor controller converts the received movement direction and/or distance instructions to movement direction and/or distance commands, and communicates the movement direction and/or distance commands to the one or more motors to physically move the base assembly.

The present invention relates to a novel solar powered patio umbrella device which provides users with an improved patio umbrella capable of automatically expanding and retracting when exposed to sunlight. The device comprises at least one rotating solar panel that powers an automated opening and closing system; and at least one battery that receives power from the at least one rotating solar panel. Thus, the umbrella opens when the battery is at full charge and lowers when the battery is at a lower percentage. In this manner, the device simplifies use of the umbrella and eliminates the need to manually crank the umbrella open to use it.

The invention features a dual shade apparatus adapted to provide shade to an individual or individuals while the individual(s) is/are outside and in need of shade from sunlight. Aspects of embodiments of the present invention contemplate a dual shade apparatus that is easily portable and easily adapted to the sun's changing positions, thereby providing the individual(s)/user(s) with shade from sunlight.
