A sunshade umbrella with a hand-held portable rotatable base mechanism includes a base assembly, a support assembly arranged on the base assembly and a canopy assembly arranged on the support assembly. The base assembly includes an upper base plate and a lower base plate which are disposed in a center of the base assembly, and are fixedly fitted up and down. The support assembly includes a support column and a support tube. The support column is insertedly and fixedly connected to the upper and lower base plates, and the support tube is rotatably sleeved outside the support column.

An intelligent shading umbrella comprises a base assembly, an umbrella support assembly coupled to a base assembly, a first memory, a first processor coupled to the first memory, and a computing device, wherein the computing device has a non-volatile memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, a second memory, and a second processor. A first processor communicates commands and/or signals to the umbrella support assembly to cause movement of the umbrella support assembly. A second processor, of the computing device, is enclosed within the intelligent shading object fetches computer-readable instructions from the non-volatile memory, loads the computer-readable instructions from the non-volatile memory into the second memory, and executes the computer-readable instructions to communicate with external computing devices and/or to generate commands and/or signals to the first processor to request movements of the umbrella shading assembly.

Provided is an automatic umbrella. The middle rod structure comprises an outer sleeve; a movable sleeve; a first elastic element; a locating element; an adjustment element; and a long rod comprising a long rod upper end and a long rod lower end; wherein the long rod upper end is abutted against the adjustment element, and the long rod lower end is located inside the movable sleeve for limiting the first elastic element from moving along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

The present invention is an anchor for a beach umbrella or the like. The umbrella anchor of the present invention includes generally an anchor bag configured to receive the end of a conventional beach umbrella shaft and an upper harness provided for securing the upper end of the umbrella shaft to the anchor bag. The anchor bag is filled with sand or other earthen material removed from a hole into which the anchor bag is placed while the umbrella anchor of the present invention is being deployed. An upper harness is mounted on the umbrella shaft and then releasable connected to an anchor bag harness fixed to the anchor bag. The umbrella anchor may further include a storage bag for receiving the anchor bag and proximal end of the beach umbrella when the umbrella is closed for storage, or for holding miscellaneous items when the umbrella is opened and anchored.

A system to secure a patio umbrella to a table, the system including a band clamp having a band, the band clamp including a handle disposed on a surface of the band, and a sliding portion disposed within the band to reciprocally move inside the band in response to a manipulation of the handle to reduce or expand a circumference of the band clamp, and a patio umbrella fastener disposed below the band clamp to be inserted into a table aperture of a patio table and to receive a pole of a patio umbrella therein, such that the patio umbrella is stabilized.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for providing directions haptically such that sight and hearing can continue unimpeded. In one exemplary embodiment, a wearable device (such as earphones, ear rings, gloves, glasses, or other wearable objects) configured as disclosed herein receives directions to an intended destination for a user, the directions comprising a movement action and a distance to the movement action. The wearable device has multiple haptic output units and generates, through one of those units, a haptic output based on the directions. This allows the user to receive the directions through touch rather than looking at their mobile device or from audio.

This invention provides a removable sunshade base and a sunshade including the removable sunshade base. The removable sunshade base includes a sunshade base body and a pull rod. A bottom of the sunshade base body has a sliding groove and first sliding wheels. One end of the pull rod has a second sliding wheel, and the pull rod is movably connected with the sliding groove of the sunshade base body such that the pull rod is accommodated in the sliding groove or is pulled out from the sliding groove. When the pull rod is pulled out from the sliding groove, both the first sliding wheels and the second sliding wheel contact one supporting plane to move the sunshade base body.
