An outdoor sunshade umbrella and a method for using the same are provided. The outdoor sunshade umbrella includes: a supporting portion; a sunshade umbrella main body pivotally connected with the supporting portion; and a control portion. The control portion is used to control the supporting portion to automatically adjust a position of the sunshade umbrella main body according to a direction of sunlight and position information of an obscured object.

A hand-operated cantilever umbrella includes a vertical column (1), a transverse rod (2), a drawing rod (3), an umbrella frame (4) and an umbrella adjustment mechanism (5). The bottom end of the transverse rod (2) is hinged to the slider disposed on the vertical column (1), the umbrella frame (4) hinged to the top end of the transverse rod (2), a large rib connector (470) and a drawing rod connector (30) are rotatably disposed on the middle portion of the transverse rod (2). The large rib connector (470) has a stopper (471) resisting against the drawing rod connector (30). The present invention is simple and rational in structure, and the open and fold operation is more convenient and quick, moreover, since the product does not need any rope to withstand wind in the open process and the subsequent use stage, it is more labor-saving to open, higher in strength and more stable in structure.

A novel umbrella includes a support post, a housing supported thereby, spokes pivotally disposed about the housing, a canopy, and an actuator. The housing has a top hub and a bottom hub. The actuator slides the hubs together to pivot the spokes away from the housing, whereby the umbrella moves from a closed position to an open position. Rollers are retained within the top hub, and each spoke has a spoke cam attached to one end. The spokes pivot away from the housing by having a roller surface of each spoke cam slide along each respective roller. The actuator may include a beam pivotally disposed about the support post, a strut pivotally disposed about the support post and coupled to the beam, a car slide slideably disposed within the beam, and a cable coupled to the strut and the housing.

A wind-lift-eliminating self-adjusting self-stabilizing arthritic-aiding umbrella comprises: a flow-directing chapeau attached to a chapeau crown, an upper cone rotatably attached to a cable conduit for preventing the umbrella from radially twisting clockwise and counterclockwise out of shape, a lower tube for centering the upper cone, a stanchion, an intersector bolted to the stanchion, a supporting-arm intersector, a top-hub, a canopy-height-and-tilt-adjusting arthritic-hand-aiding handle slidably connected to the stanchion, a height-adjusting arthritic-hand-aiding trigger springably and pivotably attached to the handle for providing aid to arthritic hands to operate the handle without discomfort and for providing means to slidably lower and raise the handle to adjust the umbrella, a supporting arm pivotably attached to the lifting-arm intersector and the supporting-arm intersector, a lifting arm pivotably attached to the handle and the top-hub intersector, the supporting-arm intersector pivotably attached to the lifting arm, a deploying cable, a cable spool molded into the handle and attached to the cable, an arthritic-hand-aiding crank, an arthritic-hand-aiding-crank paddle rotatably connected to the crank for providing aid to arthritic hands to operate the crank providing means to deploy and retract the umbrella without discomfort, a reversible wind-pressure-releasing and cooling-funnel canopy for providing a cover to protect users from weather elements and for releasing air pressure below the umbrella, an opening is cut into the canopy, a top-hub-ring, the cable conduit rotatably attached to the top-hub-ring, the top-hub intersector pivotably attached to the top-hub-ring, a bottom-shuttle-hub-ring, the lower cone rotatably attached to the bottom-shuttle-hub-ring, the cable connected to the bottom hub-ring, upper-ribs, wind-lift-eliminating self-adjusting funnel-and-canopy-tension-adjusting springs for adjustably tensioning the canopy and for customizingly relieving air pressure below the umbrella to stabilize and to eliminate lift and vibration from wind gusts, adjustable-tension-canopy-spring brackets springably securing the wind-lift-eliminating self-adjusting funnel-and-canopy-tension-adjusting springs to the upper-ribs, lower-ribs pivotably screwed to the bottom-shuttle-hub-ring and the upper-ribs, a stanchion base-mounting plate attached to the stanchion, and base-stabilizing feet bolted to the base-mounting-plate.

A sunshade mounting mechanism comprises a first connecting sleeve (3); a second connecting sleeve (4) disposed on the top of the bearing rod (2); a pin shaft (5); the first connecting sleeve (3) is rotatably connected to the second connecting sleeve (4) through the pin shaft (5), and a center line of rotation of the first connecting sleeve (3) intersects with the transverse direction of the main rod (11); the bearing rod (2) has a first through hole (20) for allowing the pin shaft (5) to pass through. In this mounting mechanism, the mounting angle and position of the main rod relative to the bearing rod can be freely adjusted. The pin shaft is allowed to pass through the periphery of the top of the bearing rod on the basis of connecting the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve. In this way, the connection of the three components, i.e., the first connecting sleeve, the second connecting sleeve and the bearing rod can be achieved by only one pin shaft. The mounting mechanism is simplified, the connection strength can be greatly increased, and the service life is greatly prolonged.

A cantilevered umbrella, including a stand column, an umbrella tent and a cantilever is disclosed. One end of the cantilever is connected to the stand column through a shell in a rotating mode, and other end is connected with the umbrella tent. Rotation of the cantilever drives the umbrella tent to rotate, with opening of the umbrella tent rotating to a certain angle in a relatively horizontal direction. The cantilevered umbrella further includes a positioning part. One end of the positioning part is connected to the cantilever in a fixed mode, and other end extends into the shell. A first positioning portion is arranged on an inner wall of the shell, a second positioning portion is arranged on the positioning part, and the first and second positioning portions limit the cantilever in a circumferential rotating range through coordination.

An outdoor sunshade umbrella and a method for using the same are provided. The outdoor sunshade umbrella includes: a supporting portion; a sunshade umbrella main body pivotally connected with the supporting portion; and a control portion. The control portion is used to control the supporting portion to automatically adjust a position of the sunshade umbrella main body according to a direction of sunlight and position information of an obscured object.

A cantilevered umbrella assembly with an arcuate guide track comprises a support column, a cantilever arm attached to the support column, and an at least partially arcuate configured guide track attached to the cantilever arm that defines a sweep axis and a plane. The guide track defines a first free end, a second free end and an apex between the first end and the second end along the sweep axis. The sweep axis defines a first tangent to the sweep axis at the first end, a second tangent at the second end, and a third tangent at the apex, wherein a first line drawn perpendicularly to the first tangent and a second line drawn perpendicularly to the third tangent form a first included angle in the plane of the guide track that ranges from 10 to 45 degrees.
