The invention is a shading structure (10) having an open state and a closed state and comprising a canopy (12), wherein the canopy (12) is affixed to further components of the shading structure (10) at at least two attachment places (18), wherein the two attachment places (18) define an axis of rotation (21), and at least two stiffening sections (14) arranged along a periphery of the canopy (12), wherein adjacent stiffening sections (14) are coupled to each other by a respective articulating member (16), and wherein the canopy (12) is stretched in the open state of the shading structure (10) by means of the stiffening sections (14) coupled to each other by the articulating member(s) (16).

The shading structure is characterised in that in the open state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) are skew with respect to the axis of rotation (21), and in the closed state of the shading structure (10) the stiffening sections (14) extend in the direction of the axis of rotation (21), and the canopy (12) is rolled up around the axis of rotation (21).

The present invention relates to a multipurpose shielding or attenuating fabric for blocking up to 99.9% of an electromagnetic field (EMF) and RFID radiating from 5G and other cellular towers. The fabric can be used in strollers, pet carriers, umbrellas, and other devices for protecting from 5G radiation. The fabric can also include an integrated 5G detection chip for detecting 5G radiation impinging on the fabric. The fabric includes shielding particles woven into the fabric for shielding from 5G radiation. The fabric, configured into various device embodiments, protects adults, children, and pets from the harmful effects of 5G radiation and eliminates the need to keep a child or pet indoors.

An umbrella comprising of a central support shaft that includes a proximal end and an oppositely disposed distal end. The proximal end is comprised of a handle portion, and the distal end is comprised of a concave canopy. The screen shield is operationally connected to the peripheral edge of the canopy and extends therefrom toward the proximal end. The screen shield is weighted and extends at least partially along the peripheral edge. A similar screen shield can be attached to a beach umbrella. One end of the screen shield is operationally connected to the umbrella while the other end contains tie down lines that are placed into the ground for support.

An umbrella repair assembly for reattaching a canopy of an umbrella to a rib of the umbrella includes a first shell that has a first slot integrated therein to accommodate a rib of an umbrella. A second shell is hingedly coupled to the first shell and the second shell is positionable in a closed position having the second shell abutting the first shell. The second shell has a second slot is integrated therein to accommodate the rib of an umbrella when the second shell is closed. In this way a canopy of the umbrella is compressed between the first shell and the second shell for reattaching the canopy to the rib.

A wind-resistant umbrella including a canopy attached to an upper end of a pole member, flexible ribs, and multiple load sensitive connectors (LSCs) is provided. The flexible ribs flex inwardly at a wind speed of more than about 10 miles per hour (mph) to preclude wind from traveling under the canopy. The LSCs detachably couple an upper canopy section to a lower canopy section of the canopy. The upper canopy section partially overlaps the lower canopy section along the LSCs. Upon impact from a wind gust that exceeds a speed of more than about 20 mph, at least one of the LSCs detach to allow wind to flow freely through one or more vents created between the upper and lower canopy sections, while providing warnings to a user, and to preclude wind-induced tilting and lifting actions on the wind-resistant umbrella, thereby precluding dislodgment thereof from an anchoring location.
