An umbrella includes a shaft, a top cap and a runner. Multiple rib units and multiple stretchers are pivotably connected to the top cap and the runner. The rib units each have a first rib, a second rib and a third rib. The first, second and third ribs are pivotably connected in sequence. A canopy is mounted to the rib units. The second ribs each have a first connection portion on one end thereof, and the first connection portion has a seat which is connected to a link unit. The link unit has a joint which is connected to the third rib. The third rib has a positioning member to position the joint. The third rib and the joint are connected with each other to bear wind force applied to the second rib and the third rib, such that the second and third ribs do not deform.

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.

A mount for a shade structure, in particular a collapsible pavilion. The mount has a base and a cover. The base has a space formed therein configured to receive a ground support of a shade structure. The cover has a top surface and a bottom surface to be secured to the base. A groove is formed in the mount and is configured to pivotably receive a rib. The groove is disposed between opposed walls of the mount. A pin retention recess is disposed on each side of the opposed walls in one of the cover and the base. A plurality of projections are provided that each have a first end fixed to one of the cover and the base in which the pin retention recess is not formed and a second end disposed away from the fixed end. One of the projections is configured to enclose a portion of the retention recess when the cover and the base are secured together.

An improved umbrella frame comprising a four-rib canopy frame comprising only five parts plus a simplified four-panel canopy that greatly reduces manufacturing costs. The frame comprises four arms that snap together with a tool-less tongue and groove connection around a central shaft, allowing the four-panel canopy to be stretched over top. The tongue and groove assembly forms an improved runner that gently slides up and down the central shaft to provide open and close functions. The improved umbrella frame is lightweight and may-be quickly and easily assembled and disassembled for packing or storage.

An umbrella hub is provided that includes an inner portion, an outer periphery, a lower portion and an upper portion. A plurality of vertical grooves is disposed in the outer periphery and is configured to receive umbrella ribs or struts. A plurality of grooves extends transverse to the plurality of vertical grooves. A retention member is disposed in each of the transverse grooves. A first configuration of the hub permits deflection of the retention member such that a transverse pin coupled with the umbrella ribs or struts can be inserted into the transverse groove in which the retention member is disposed. A second configuration of the hub prevents deflection of the retention member such that inadvertent withdrawal of the pin from the transverse groove in which the retention member is disposed is prevented.

A cantilever umbrella, including umbrella cloth, an umbrella rod, a top notch with a guide sleeve, a runner, umbrella ribs and stretchers is disclosed. The umbrella rod contains an inner section and a cantilever section; the umbrella rob passes through the guide sleeve and the top notch in sequence with the end of the inner section hinged to the runner. The cantilever section can be extracted from the guide sleeve to open the umbrella ribs and stretch the umbrella cloth into place. The cantilever section can be moved laterally and fixed into position at the end of the guide sleeve to stabilize the open state of the umbrella ribs.
