The disclosure is directed at an umbrella including a canopy having a set of canopy portions; and a frame portion comprising a shaft portion; a sliding collar assembly coupled to the shaft portion and sliding along the shaft portion; and a set of ribs, each of the independent ribs attached to one of the set of canopy portions and to the sliding collar assembly, where each of the set of ribs move independently of each other when a high wind force is experienced by one of the canopy portions.

This application provides an umbrella including an umbrella frame, supporting members, rotating shafts, fixing members, and umbrella surfaces. The umbrella surfaces are installed at the umbrella frame through connections of the supporting members and the fixing members so as to form a layered structure with a beautiful appearance and good breathability and ventilation. Each of the supporting members has installation arms which can be directly installed at the umbrella rib through the rotating shaft. Each of the supporting members has a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface cooperating with the umbrella rib to achieve limitation, which can limit a rotation range of the supporting members and reduce members such as a bracket, a spring and so on. The structure is simpler, and the assembly is very convenient.

An umbrella includes an anti-inversion mechanism that is configured to apply to each rib assembly a force that counters an inversion force that is applied to the umbrella. The anti-inversion mechanism includes a first rib joint that is coupled to first and second ribs, a first elongated member that is coupled to the first rib joint and a second elongated member that is coupled to the first elongated member and to the distal rib. The first rib joint includes an inner slot and the first elongated member comprises a wire having a bent clip portion at a first end of the wire, the bent clip portion being received within the inner slot and being biased against a floor of the inner slot resulting in the wire being attached to the first rib joint.

A mount for a shade structure, in particular a collapsible pavilion. The mount has a base and a cover. The base has a space formed therein configured to receive a ground support of a shade structure. The cover has a top surface and a bottom surface to be secured to the base. A groove is formed in the mount and is configured to pivotably receive a rib. The groove is disposed between opposed walls of the mount. A pin retention recess is disposed on each side of the opposed walls in one of the cover and the base. A plurality of projections are provided that each have a first end fixed to one of the cover and the base in which the pin retention recess is not formed and a second end disposed away from the fixed end. One of the projections is configured to enclose a portion of the retention recess when the cover and the base are secured together.

An umbrella has a column, an upper nest, a movable lower nest, a plurality of long rods, a plurality of short rods. The upper nest has a plurality of first slots spaced apart on a periphery of the upper nest, a plurality of first pins is disposed on the upper nest respectively; each long rod has a first rod-hanging hook on the top end thereof, each first rod-hanging hook hooks on the corresponding first pin; the lower nest has a plurality of second slots spaced apart on a periphery of the lower nest, a plurality of second pins are disposed on the lower nest respectively; each short rod has a second rod-hanging hook on the bottom end thereof, each second rod-hanging hook hooks on the corresponding second pin. The structure of the present invention is simple and reasonable, the machining is convenient and the cost is low.

A hand-push rotating umbrella comprises extension springs at one side of the supporting ribs where an upward acting force can be produced by means of the pretension force of the extension spring when the moveable runner is pushed up so that the moveable runner and upper rib supporting rods would not fall down affected by gravity, thus a stable umbrella closing state able to be achieved without providing the engagement structure and solving the problems of the existing reversely-folded umbrella produced by only able to stably close the umbrella by using the engagement structure. Moreover, through the collocation application of the upper runner and moveable runner in the present invention, the umbrella canopy would rotate to offset the impact force caused by the wind resistance or collision in the case of strong wind or umbrella rib collision with some foreign object or person, thus able to avoid stabbing and hurting other people and improve the umbrella use safety.

A mount for a shade structure, in particular a collapsible pavilion. The mount has a base and a cover. The base has a space formed therein configured to receive a ground support of a shade structure. The cover has a top surface and a bottom surface to be secured to the base. A groove is formed in the mount and is configured to pivotably receive a rib. The groove is disposed between opposed walls of the mount. A pin retention recess is disposed on each side of the opposed walls in one of the cover and the base. A plurality of projections are provided that each have a first end fixed to one of the cover and the base in which the pin retention recess is not formed and a second end disposed away from the fixed end. One of the projections is configured to enclose a portion of the retention recess when the cover and the base are secured together.

An improved umbrella frame comprising a four-rib canopy frame comprising only five parts plus a simplified four-panel canopy that greatly reduces manufacturing costs. The frame comprises four arms that snap together with a tool-less tongue and groove connection around a central shaft, allowing the four-panel canopy to be stretched over top. The tongue and groove assembly forms an improved runner that gently slides up and down the central shaft to provide open and close functions. The improved umbrella frame is lightweight and may-be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled for packing or storage.

An umbrella includes an anti-inversion mechanism that is configured to apply to each rib assembly a force that counters an inversion force that is applied to the umbrella. The anti-inversion mechanism includes a flexible elongated structure that is disposed exteriorly along the second rib part and has a first bent end that is attached to the second rib part by passing through an opening formed in the second rib part and being anchored within a hollow interior of the second rib part. The mechanism further includes a flexible wire having a first end attached to the flexible elongated structure of the anti-inversion mechanism and a second end attached to a rib tip that is located at a free distal end of the rib assembly.

A frame for a shading product and a beach umbrella is provided. The frame for a shading product includes a central rod, a plurality of top frame units, a first slider arranged on the central rod and an extension rod. Each top frame unit includes a first top rod rotatably connected to the central rod and a second top rod. Each second top rod is rotatably connected to the first slider, and the first top rods, the second top rods, the central rod and the first slider form crank-slider mechanisms. The extension rod is pivotally connected to one top frame unit to allow the extension rod to flip upwards relative to the top frame unit when the frame for a shading product overturns on its side to the ground.
