The invention discloses a cantilever parasol with reduced maintenance workload. When the reel mechanism requires maintenance, one only needs to detach the reel housing from the inclined rod, without a need to perform a separate disassembly operation to the cord spool assembly or a need to change a connection relationship between the inclined rod and the post, avoiding difficulty in re-assembling the inclined rod. The cantilever parasol includes a post, an inclined rod and a reel mechanism. The reel mechanism includes a reel housing is detachably connected with the inclined rod, and a cord spool assembly is rotatably installed in the reel housing and located on an outer side of the inclined rod. One end of the inclined rod is connected with the post, the inclined rod is provided with a cord hole, and a cord is passed through the cord hole and connected with the cord spool assembly.

A sunshade device and sunshade management system for mitigating the effects of climate change and direct and prolonged exposure to the sun, the sunshade device including a canopy attached to a collapsible web or frame structure. The frame structure can be collapsed or opened by operation of an electric motor. The sunshade device is positioned above the ground by electrically powered lifting devices that are powered by a battery system that is charged by solar cells. A sunshade management system controls the status of the sunshade device, and can collapse the frame and activate the lifting devices to position the sunshade in the sky, and open the frame and deactivate the lifting devices to allow the sunshade device to slowly descend while providing shade to areas below the sunshade device.

The invention is a shading structure (10) having an open state and a closed state and comprising a canopy (12), wherein the canopy (12) is affixed to further components of the shading structure (10) at at least two attachment places (18), wherein the two attachment places (18) define an axis of rotation (21), and at least two stiffening sections (14) arranged along a periphery of the canopy (12), wherein adjacent stiffening sections (14) are coupled to each other by a respective articulating member (16), and wherein the canopy (12) is stretched in the open state of the shading structure (10) by means of the stiffening sections (14) coupled to each other by the articulating member(s) (16).

The shading structure is characterised in that in the open state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) are skew with respect to the axis of rotation (21), and in the closed state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) extend in the direction of the axis of rotation (21), and the canopy (12) is rolled up around the axis of rotation (21).

A movable umbrella base comprises a housing (1), a wheel frame (2) disposed under the bottom of the housing (1), at least three wheels (3) connected at intervals to the wheel frame (2) and located partially under the wheel frame (2), a plurality of air bags (4) located inside a space defined by the wheel frame (2) and the housing (1), and a plurality of elastic members (6) limit displacement of the wheel frame (2) and the wheels (3) from the housing (1); when the air bags (4) are inflated, the housing (1) is lifted up relative to the wheel frame (2) and the wheels (3) from the ground; when the air bags (4) are deflated, the housing (1) is lowered relative to the wheel frame (2) and the wheels (3) and contacts the ground. The umbrella base can be moved by the air bags (4), the whole operation process is easier, and it saves more time and effort.

A protection and/or charging assembly includes a power apparatus, a protection housing, a charging apparatus and/or a locking assembly. The power apparatus provides electrical power to components of the protection and/or charging assembly. The protection housing houses one or more personal belongings and/or electronic devices. The charging apparatus receives power from the power apparatus and charges the one or more electronic devices. The locking assembly locks and/or unlocks the protection housing and allows the one or more personal belongings to be stored in an interior of the protection housing.

The above ground solid pool cover is the only product of its kind that is exceptionally crafted with mechanisms that support pool cover removal and placement all while guaranteeing that little to no debris comes into contact with the pool water. This unprecedented product is uniquely designed with a lighter and more resistant material than any other average pool cover to ensure users are able to easily maneuver, store, and clean the cover for efficient maintenance.

The sand-filled umbrella holder with tabletop comprises a base, a table top, and an umbrella. When deployed, the base may be operable to hold the umbrella in an upright position and may be operable to support the table top above the ground. The base may be deployed by filling the base with a filler material to give weight and form to the base. As non-limiting examples, the filler material may comprise sand, dirt, or water. The base may collapse when not deployed for easier transportation and storage. The umbrella may provide shade when open for use. The umbrella may close for easier transportation and storage when not in use.

An angle-adjustable umbrella has a column; a transverse rod; a tilted rod; an umbrella frame; a clutch mechanism; wherein, the tilted rod comprises a first tilted rod and a second tilted rod, and the top end of the first tilted rod is hinged to the top of the column, the bottom end of the first tilted rod is rotatably connected to a connector on the second tilted rod through a tilted rod joint, the bottom end of the second tilted rod is hinged to the lower nest in the umbrella frame; the transverse rod comprises a first transverse rod and a second transverse rod which are connected each other by connecting pieces, and the connecting pieces are coupled to the tilted rod, the bottom end of the transverse rod is connected to a slider joint through the clutch mechanism, the slider joint is rotatably connected to the sliding block slidably sleeved on the column, and the top end of the transverse rod is rotatably connected to the upper nest in the umbrella frame.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a portable shelter, whether being of the type having a floating canopy or an umbrella. The shelter includes a support including an upright. A canopy is supported by the support. The canopy includes an expandable frame, and a sheet of material supported by the frame. The frame includes retractable ribs supporting the sheet. The frame also includes a stretcher arrangement for stretching out each rib from the support. The shelter further includes a line arrangement extending between the stretcher arrangement and each rib.

An umbrella assembly with a drive module assembly that comprises a plurality of modularized units, including a separate power supply unit and a separate drive unit. The modularized units are removably/detachably attached in a stacked structure of the overall drive module using quick connect couplings. The interfacing top and bottom sides of the adjacent modularized units are provided with complementary electrical connection terminals. The drive module is structurally and operatively coupled to the frame structure of the canopy of the umbrella assembly to operate to open/extend or close/collapse the canopy between an opened configuration and a closed configuration, by varying the distance between the upper hub and the lower hub of the frame structure.
