A device supported by a vertical support and vertical support frame including an upper section that is configured to engage the vertical support. The upper section includes an opening segment configured to encircle a vertical support, pocket with cinching device and a tab implement configured to secure said upper section to the vertical support, and a first closure mechanism that is configured to close a divide(s)/open side(s) on said upper section. A lower section is configured to extend a coverage of the upper section including a closure mechanism that is configured to close an open side(s) of said lower section(s). A closure/connection mechanism that is configured to connect said upper and lower sections together and a rib pocket segment disposed on an outside edge of the lower section for engaging an end portion of a rib section of a support frame.

An umbrella has a plurality of ribs attached to a runner by main struts. The umbrella has an anti-inversion mechanism formed of a plurality of anti-inversion struts. Each anti-inversion strut is pivotally coupled to one respective main strut and is pivotally connected to a floating joint member that is freely movable along a length of one respective rib. The anti-inversion mechanism also includes a stop that is fixedly attached to the rib and restricts the degree of travel of the floating joint member along the rib and is positioned to prevent the respective rib from inverting in response to an applied force.

An umbrella frame bending structure for two-fold inverted umbrella includes an umbrella shaft assembly, an umbrella frame and bending devices. The bending devices are arranged on the umbrella frame such that when the main ribs and auxiliary ribs of the umbrella frame are opened, the auxiliary ribs limit the opening distance of the main ribs, causing the main ribs to curve. The umbrella frame bending structure has the advantages of low cost, simple structure and ease of installation.
