A support structure including an umbrella having an extension pole, and a base capable of being positioned on a bottom surface of a pool wherein the base has a through-hole. An umbrella base connector is seated within the through-hole. An articulating mechanism is adjustably coupled to the at least one extension pole of the umbrella and to the umbrella base connector, a first connector has a top end attached to the extension pole of the umbrella, and further has a first adjustable portion opposed from the top end. A second connector has a bottom end attached to the umbrella base connector, and further has a second adjustable portion opposed from the bottom end. The first adjustable portion is rotatably affixed to the second adjustable portion such that the umbrella and the extension pole of the umbrella are articulated relative to a stationary position of the base.

An intelligent umbrella includes a wireless communication transceiver to receive commands or messages from a mobile computing device and an integrated computing device, the integrated computing device including one or more memory devices, one or more processors and computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory devices. The computer-readable instructions are executable by the one or more processors to receive the commands or messages, via the wireless communication transceiver from the mobile computing device and to generate instructions, signals, commands and/or messages, based, at least in part on the received commands or messages from the mobile computing device. The computer-readable instructions are executable by the one or more processors to communicate the generated instructions, signals, commands or messages to one or more assemblies of the intelligent umbrella to cause the one or more assemblies of the intelligent umbrella to move in a specified manner.

An arm-held umbrella includes an umbrella and an arm connector. One end of a supporting rod of the umbrella is mechanically connected with the arm connector so that the umbrella can rotate at a certain included angle relative to the length direction of the arm; the arm connector can be wrapped and fixed on the arm, and can also be used as a handle for holding umbrella by hand. Exactly, the umbrella attachable to the arm is a multipurpose umbrella, which can not only be attached to arm but also be held by hand. Especially, holding the umbrella under the state of bent arm meets various demands of people, for example, playing a mobile phone with both hands, cycling or taking photos while holding the umbrella.

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 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.

An umbrella frame stabilizer system configured to maintain frame integrity of an umbrella is described. The system includes the umbrella, a removable light component configured to be housed in a shaft of the umbrella, and a removable stabilizer device coupled to a runner of the umbrella. The device includes a removable attachment that includes at least one movable appendage and at least one matching appendage configured to couple to the at least one movable appendage. The device also includes a housing coupled to the removable attachment, at least one deformable linking member comprises a stretchable material and is at least partially contained within the housing, and at least one ring coupled to a first end of the at least one deformable linking member.
