Provided is a portable compact umbrella including a case having an inner accommodation space and opened one side, a roller rotatably installed in the case, a support having a variable length and configured to support the case, and an umbrella part accommodated in the accommodation space by passing through an opening at one side of the case in conjunction with rotation of the roller, to reduce an accommodation volume and be easily accommodated and unfolded.

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.

The present invention relates to a portable shelter assembly. The assembly includes a support; and an expandable shelter for being supported by the support and expanding to shelter at least one person. The shelter includes ribs extending from the support. Each rib includes one or more proximal elements pivotally mounted to the support. Each rib further includes a distal element extending from the proximal elements and configured to move outwardly to expand the shelter when the proximal elements pivot in a first direction. Advantageously, the distal elements may be simply pulled down one at a time to lift the connected proximal elements and extend the ribs, which is advantageous in windy conditions, or pulled down together to lift the proximal elements and extend the ribs.

An umbrella pole adapter to convert boat dining table leg mounts into temporary umbrella stands is presented. The umbrella adapter is a tubular oval design shape member consisting of an upper end and a bottom end with a center opening running thru the length. The unique tubular oval design shape and the rubber material for the center opening, enables the umbrella anchor pole to be inserted and secured inside the adaptor without the need for any other parts. The same unique tubular oval design shape and rubber material for the exterior wall, enables the adapter to be inserted and secured inside the boat hollow dining table leg mount, without the need for any other parts.

The present invention provides a conveniently open and close sun umbrella, which includes a vertical pole, a connecting rod, an inclined rod, an umbrella frame and an umbrella opening mechanism. The two ends of the connecting rod are respectively hinged on the vertical pole and the inclined rod. The umbrella opening mechanism includes a first pull rope, a movable pulley, a second pull rope and a slide locking piece which is slidably mounted on the vertical pole. One end of the inclined rod is hinged on the slide locking piece, and the other end is hinged on a fixed umbrella disk. One end of the first pull rope is fixed on the movable pulley, and the other end is fixed on the movable umbrella disk. One end of the second pull rope is fixed on the vertical pole, and the other end is fixed on the slide locking piece.

A wind-resistant umbrella including a canopy attached to an upper end of a pole member, flexible ribs, and multiple load sensitive connectors (LSCs) is provided. The flexible ribs flex inwardly at a wind speed of more than about 10 miles per hour (mph) to preclude wind from traveling under the canopy. The LSCs detachably couple an upper canopy section to a lower canopy section of the canopy. The upper canopy section partially overlaps the lower canopy section along the LSCs. Upon impact from a wind gust that exceeds a speed of more than about 20 mph, at least one of the LSCs detach to allow wind to flow freely through one or more vents created between the upper and lower canopy sections, while providing warnings to a user, and to preclude wind-induced tilting and lifting actions on the wind-resistant umbrella, thereby precluding dislodgment thereof from an anchoring location.

An umbrella support apparatus is an adapter device for supporting the shaft of an umbrella or parasol in an upright position. A first jaw panel and a second jaw panel as clamping members to support the shaft within a weighted base, with the first jaw panel and the second jaw panel releasably mounted to the weighted base. A shaft of the umbrella positioned through a shaft aperture in the first jaw panel and the second jaw panel, extending into the attached weighted base. A hinge assembly rotatably connects the first jaw panel to the second jaw panel to enable a user to attach the weighted base or adjust the shaft of the umbrella. Opposite the hinge assembly, a locking mechanism releasably fixes the first jaw panel and the second jaw panel together to prevent the shaft of the umbrella from deflecting within the shaft aperture.

A beach umbrella anchoring and stabilizing device configured to stabilize a beach umbrella on a sandy surface includes an elongated support shaft, an anchoring container, and multiple gussets. The support shaft extends along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end and includes a hollow interior configured to receive a beach umbrella support post. An anchoring container is coupled to the distal end and includes an open top with an upper perimeter edge substantially surrounding the support shaft, a closed bottom defining a substantially planar surface, and at least one sidewall extending therebetween. Multiple gussets extend radially between the support shaft and the sidewall. Each of the gussets extends from the closed bottom in a proximal direction parallel to the longitudinal axis.

A standing parasol has a parasol mast (2) and an actuating device (4) arranged thereon, which actuating device cooperates with a connecting organ (6) for moving a parasol part. The actuating device comprises a hand crank device (8) with an associated crank handle (10) which is rotatable about a substantially horizontal crank axis of rotation (A) and is coupled to the connecting organ (6), wherein the crank handle (10) is formed in two parts with an inner handle portion (12) which is arranged substantially transversely to the crank axis of rotation (A), and with an outer handle portion (14) which is pivotable with respect to the inner handle portion (12) between a substantially coaxial resting position and an angled functional position about a handle pivot axis (G). In the functional position, the hand crank device (8) can be brought into rotational engagement with the connecting organ (6), whereas in the resting position, the hand crank device (8) is rotationally disengaged from the connecting organ (6).

A cantilevered umbrella comprising a mast, a cantilevered arm, a canopy, and a tilting assembly. The cantilevered arm defines a longitudinal axis and is rotationally fixed in relation to the mast. The canopy is supported by the cantilevered arm and is moveable between collapsed and expanded positions. The tilting assembly is operatively connected to the canopy to tilt the canopy along a tilt axis that extends in generally parallel relation to the longitudinal axis of the cantilevered arm.
