This application provides an umbrella including an umbrella frame, supporting members, rotating shafts, fixing members, and umbrella surfaces. The umbrella surfaces are installed at the umbrella frame through connections of the supporting members and the fixing members so as to form a layered structure with a beautiful appearance and good breathability and ventilation. Each of the supporting members has installation arms which can be directly installed at the umbrella rib through the rotating shaft. Each of the supporting members has a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface cooperating with the umbrella rib to achieve limitation, which can limit a rotation range of the supporting members and reduce members such as a bracket, a spring and so on. The structure is simpler, and the assembly is very convenient.

An umbrella includes an anti-inversion mechanism that is configured to apply to each rib assembly a force that counters an inversion force that is applied to the umbrella. The anti-inversion mechanism includes a first rib joint that is coupled to first and second ribs, a first elongated member that is coupled to the first rib joint and a second elongated member that is coupled to the first elongated member and to the distal rib. The first rib joint includes an inner slot and the first elongated member comprises a wire having a bent clip portion at a first end of the wire, the bent clip portion being received within the inner slot and being biased against a floor of the inner slot resulting in the wire being attached to the first rib joint.

An automatic non-collapsible umbrella includes a handle, a control mechanism, a center post, a detent mechanism, a runner assembly, and a skeleton. A cylindrical main seat of the control mechanism includes a spring biased open button for opening the umbrella, and a spring biased collapse button adjacent to the collapse button for closing the umbrella.

An anti-inversion apparatus for an umbrella may include a removable clasp having at least one movable appendage and at least one matching appendage configured to couple the movable appendage. A housing may be coupled to a top end of the removable clasp with at least one linking member at least partially contained within the housing and at least one ring coupled to an end of the at least one linking member.

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.

In an exemplary embodiment, a wind resistant parasol is disclosed which includes a pole and a rib mechanism attached to the pole. The rib mechanism includes a plurality of upper ribs configured to support an upper canopy, a plurality of lower ribs configured to support a lower canopy, and a rib connector connecting the plurality of upper ribs and the plurality of lower ribs together to form a closed loop. When the parasol is open, the upper canopy has a substantially flat profile and the lower canopy has a curved profile formed by the respective plurality of upper ribs and the plurality of lower ribs, wherein the lower canopy is configured to guide air pressure in a downward direction causing the parasol to stabilize.
