An intelligent umbrella includes a light sensor to generate a light intensity measurement, a motor to move the light sensor about an azimuth axis, the light sensor generating a plurality of light intensity measurements and associated locations. The intelligent umbrella also includes a controller to receive the plurality of light intensity measurements from the light sensor, and to identify a highest light sensor measurement of the plurality of light sensor measurements and an associated location. The controller generates and communicates a command including the associated location to a motor, which receives the command and moves the light sensor to the associated location. The controller moves a light sensor about an elevation axis, determines a peak intensity value and corresponding elevation location, and moves the light sensor to the corresponding elevation location.

A weight system for supporting a free-standing object comprising first and second upper panels, a least one side panel, a lower panel, and a closure system. The panels are joined to define an upper wall and at least side wall, with the first and second upper panels defining a fill opening in the upper wall and a container defining an interior chamber. The closure system is arranged to allow the container to be configured in a closed configuration in which access to the interior chamber through the fill opening is substantially prevented and an open configuration in which access to the interior chamber through the fill opening is allowed.

Disclosed are example embodiments of a 5-device-in-one component box including a plurality of cranking-arm-wrench storage clips respectively molded onto said undersurface of a multi-function loss-preventing storing-and-organizing lid-tray. The box includes a multi-link crank control arm wrench snap, a plurality of ground-securing-and-leveling-screws storage cavities, a plurality of Allen-wrench storage cavities; a plurality of Allen wrenches; a plurality of screws respectively stacked inside a second base-plate cover; a compartmentalized loss-preventing storing-and-organizing inner-tray, a plurality of louver end-caps, a plurality of crank-handle-coupler storage-stem molded onto said compartmentalized loss-preventing storing-and-organizing inner-tray, a crank-handle coupler snap-locked onto said crank-handle-coupler storage-stem, a plurality of compression-locking-plates storage compartments, a plurality of compression-locking plates respectively inserted and secured to said compression-locking-plates storage compartments; a plurality of drill-bit clips respectively molded onto said compartmentalized loss-preventing storing-and-organizing inner-tray; a drill bit snap-locked between said drill-bit clips; and fourth base-plate cover stacked right side up on said third base-plate cover.

Disclosed are example embodiments of a device having at least one of a five-device-in-one anti-twisting anti-warping anti-vibrating cost-saving production-increasing corner and noise-canceling wind-dissipating louver, which is economical to produce and ship, and can be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled. Particularly, the present invention relates to a five-device-in-one anti-twisting anti-warping anti-vibrating cost-saving production-increasing corner and noise-canceling wind-dissipating louver (for being adapted to pergola, RV, house, solar panel, and concert stage), which includes at least one of anti-twisting anti-warping cost-saving production-increasing outer corner system, Leaf-filtering-and-breaking cost-saving production-increasing auto-centering inner corner system, Double-gutter-supporting-and-locking post system, Anti-twisting anti-warping 4-opposite-direction-securing post-plate system, Rainwater-shedding rainwater-directing louver systems, Cost-saving production-increasing noise-canceling wind-dissipating louver end systems, Automatic-multi-louver-shuttling system, and Cost-saving production-increasing rainwater-shedding leaf-filtering beam systems.

An umbrella with an adjustable canopy comprises a canopy adjustment device having a transverse rod connector, an upper clutch gear, a lower clutch gear and a handle; and a transverse rod rotation device disposed on the middle of a transverse rod; the front end of a tilted rod is rotatably connected to the transverse rod rotation device; the bottom end of the transverse rod is rotatably connected to a sliding block through the canopy adjustment device. The upper clutch gear is fixedly connected to the transverse rod; the bottom end of the transverse rod connector is rotatably connected to the sliding block; one end of the handle is rotatably connected to the periphery the upper clutch gear which is against the upper surface of the lower clutch gear. The invention has the advantages of simple and reasonable structure, convenient operation, stable and reliable positioning, and can realize the canopy adjustment only by operating the handle.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a sunshade lamp fixing device, comprising: a lower sunshade disc, a sunshade disc plug and a lamp fastener; wherein the lower sunshade disc is disposed below a sunshade canopy of the sunshade; the sunshade disc plug is fixed at a lower end of the lower sunshade disc; the lamp fastener is detachably mounted at a lower end of the sunshade disc plug, and the sunshade lamp is detachably fixed on the lamp fastener. The sunshade lamp fixing device according to the embodiments of the present invention is simple in structure, detachable and convenient in operation and use. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a sunshade having a sunshade lamp fixing device.

An umbrella base is provided that includes a first support, a second support and a control device, which can include a foot pedal. The second support is rotatably coupled with the first support. The foot pedal is coupled with the first support, e.g., at a pivot. The foot pedal has at least one lateral member. The lateral member projects downward from an arm. The lateral member is located on the same side of the second support as the foot pedal. Movement of the foot pedal downward causes lateral members to disengage from the second support permitting the second support to rotate.

A sun shield includes a base, a shield, an articulating arm assembly including first and second arm members, each of the arm members including proximal and distal end portions, the proximal end portions of each of the arm members being hingedly joined. The base is attached to the distal end portion of the first arm member, and the shield is attached to the distal end portion of the second arm member.

A rotary open-close type sun umbrella includes a standing post, umbrella ribs and umbrella cloths; an unfolding device is arranged at the upper end of the standing post, and the unfolding device is rotatably connected with the standing post; a plurality of umbrella ribs is arranged on the unfolding device, and the umbrella ribs are connected to umbrella cloths; each umbrella cloth is connected with two adjacent umbrella ribs, thus enabling the plurality of umbrella ribs and umbrella cloths to be sequentially connected to form an umbrella surface; the standing post is provided with a driving device, and the driving device is in transmission connection with the unfolding device, thereby allowing the umbrella surface to be unfolded or folded; the rotating arms are rotatably arranged on a mandrel; the mandrel propels one of the rotating arms and the corresponding umbrella rib to rotate.
