The invention features a shade apparatus adapted to provide shade to an individual or individuals while they are outside and in need of shade from sunlight. Aspects of embodiments of the present invention contemplate a shade apparatus that is easily portable and easily adapted to the sun's changing positions, thereby providing the individual/user with shade from sunlight.

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.

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 intelligent shading object includes a base assembly, a support assembly coupled to the base assembly, a telescoping support rod housing coupled to the support assembly, a plurality of telescoping rods housed in the telescoping support housing, and a shading element, the shading element coupled to the plurality of telescoping rods. The intelligent shading object may include one or more photo cells installed on the shading element. The intelligent shading object may include comprising one or more light sensors installed on the shading element.

A shading object includes a base unit, one or more support units coupled to the base unit, a louver system coupled to the one or more support units, and a plurality of shading elements coupled to the one or more support units and the louver system. The one or more support units are positioned next to each other when the shading object is in a closed position. The plurality of shading elements are folded when the shading object is in a closed position. The one or more support units are moved apart from each other when the shading object is in an open position. The louver system adjusts a horizontal and/or a vertical orientation of at least one of the plurality of shading elements. The base unit further includes one or more weight compartments to provide stability to the shading object.

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.

A shading object includes a base unit, a support unit coupled to the base unit, and a rotation hub assembly, the rotation hub assembly coupled to the support unit and rotatable in a circular direction about the rotation hub assembly. The shading object also includes a control housing, the control housing coupled to the rotation hub assembly, the control housing having one or more motor assemblies installed therein. The shading object includes a pivot assembly, a shading element frame, and one or more shading elements, the shading element frame coupled to the pivot assembly, the pivot assembly to rotate the shading element frame and the one or more shading elements about the pivot assembly axis.

An intelligent umbrella includes a base unit, a central support unit, a shading element projection mechanism, one or more shading elements; and a GPS/GNSS receiver, the GPS/GNSS receiver to capture a latitude and/or longitude of the intelligent umbrella. The intelligent umbrella includes a controller, the controller to receive the latitude and the longitude measurement of the intelligent umbrella and to calculate an associated azimuth angle for the intelligent umbrella. The intelligent umbrella also includes a first motor, the controller to communicate the associated azimuth angle to the first motor to cause the intelligent umbrella to move to the associated azimuth angle. The controller receives an altitude measurement from the GPS receiver and calculates an elevation angle. The intelligent umbrella also includes a second motor, the controller to communicate the associated elevation angle to the second motor to cause the umbrella to the associated elevation angle.
