An umbrella replacement base assembly includes a table portion; a stem or support portion; a base portion; a tubular support assembly to receive an umbrella through an opening the table portion; and a plurality of extension assemblies, the extension assemblies extending from the base portion to provide support to the umbrella replacement base assembly. The tubular assembly passes through the table portion and the stem or support portion, and the tubular support assembly connects to a base assembly or passes through the base assembly and connect an interior bottom side of the base assembly.

Cooling units are provided. The cooling units include a base having a housing with control components and a cooling tower attached to the base having an inner flow path and an exterior surface. An air distribution system is attached to the cooling tower and includes an air distribution chamber defined between first and second enclosures, air dispensers are configured in the first enclosure, and air flowing through the cooling tower mixes within the air distribution chamber to form a single stream of air to be dispensed through the air dispenser. The control components are configured to convey air through the base, the cooling tower, and the air distribution system to dispense air through the air dispenser.

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.

Disclosed is an anchoring umbrella stand with a manually extendable drill bit. In certain exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, the anchoring umbrella stand includes a drill bit that can be manually extendable from and manually retractable into an elongate housing body by use of a crank handle. Manual operation of the crank handle rotates and translates the drill bit between a retracted position within the elongate housing body and an extended position outside the elongate housing body. In certain embodiments, the anchoring umbrella stand further includes a gear train assembly and/or a stabilizing plate to further aid a user in anchoring the umbrella stand. The anchoring umbrella stand facilitates umbrella anchoring by providing a more stable anchoring mechanism that requires less strength, less coordination, and no electric power to operate.

An air blowing device includes: an air blower provided in connection with a support stand, the air blower being configured to generate rising air; a support frame attached to the support stand; and a wind-direction changing device configured to change a wind direction to a direction crossing a direction of the rising air upon receipt of the rising air, wherein descending air blown to periphery around the air blower is generated by the wind-direction changing device, and the wind-direction changing device is supported by the support frame.

A novel umbrella is disclosed with a simplified structure that creates a clean, elegant profile. The umbrella includes a support post, a top housing supported by the post, and a bottom housing supported by the post. Spokes are pivotally disposed about the top housing. Struts are pivotally disposed about the bottom housing, wherein each strut is pivotally connected to a respective spoke. A canopy is disposed about the plurality of spokes. A first and second set of rollers may be retained with the top housing. A third set of rollers may be retained within the bottom housing. A rope raises and lowers the canopy. A lever lock is disposed about the bottom housing to retain the rope when the umbrella is in an open position. The umbrella also has a rope storage slot within the support post for retaining any excess rope.

A solar power conversion kit allows converting of a standard umbrella into a solar charging umbrella, which can then use solar power to charge electronic devices. The solar charging umbrella is self-sustained, capable of charging electronic devices in locations away from electrical outlets. The umbrella has a rechargeable battery that is recharged by sunlight. When charged, the umbrella's battery can charge devices when sunlight is not available. The umbrella supports simultaneous charging of higher power devices such as tablet computers.

A parasol includes a stand column and an umbrella cover assembly which includes a tilt strut. A sliding block is installed in cooperation with one end of the tilt strut. A chute is disposed on the stand column, and the sliding block is for sliding up and down along the chute. The chute is provided with a shading device. A collecting mechanism is coordinately arranged in the stand column, and includes a drive assembly, a clutch fork assembly and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a collecting and supporting transmission assembly and an inclination transmission assembly. The drive assembly is able to be in clutch cooperation with the collecting and supporting transmission assembly or the inclination transmission assembly under action of the clutch fork assembly.

A free arm standing parasol comprises a mast, on which an arm with its end of the arm facing towards mast is guided extendably and retractably via a mast slide and is thereby held by a supporting element between the arm and mast while the end of the arm facing away from the mast carries a parasol part with a crown, the parasol part comprising main struts which are radially hinged to the crown and associated supporting struts which are hinged to a corresponding main strut and a parasol slider. The parasol part is connected, via actuating organs, to a drive unit at the mast, a first actuating organ being connected to the mast slide via first deflection rollers for moving the mast slide up and down across a first functional distance, and a second actuating organ being coupled to the actuating organ via an action coupling and being connected to the parasol slider via second deflection rollers for moving the parasol slider across a second functional distance. To improve operability and stability, it is proposed that the second actuating organ be provided with a transmission unit configured in such manner that the first functional distance and the second functional distance have different lengths.
