An extended umbrella providing a secondary canopy coverage area for a pet. The secondary canopy coverage area is supported by a secondary structure attached to a main umbrella shaft with a clamp. Alternatively, the secondary canopy coverage area is provided with no secondary shaft attached to the main umbrella shaft, with the extended canopy connected to a main umbrella by interlocking the ribs with the extension canopy. The secondary coverage area alternatively is formed by an extended umbrella forming a canopy that is continuous and supported with two sections of ribs that snap or hinge in place.

A rotary open-close type sun umbrella includes a standing post, umbrella ribs and umbrella cloths; an unfolding device is arranged at the upper end of the standing post, and the unfolding device is rotatably connected with the standing post; a plurality of umbrella ribs is arranged on the unfolding device, and the umbrella ribs are connected to umbrella cloths; each umbrella cloth is connected with two adjacent umbrella ribs, thus enabling the plurality of umbrella ribs and umbrella cloths to be sequentially connected to form an umbrella surface; the standing post is provided with a driving device, and the driving device is in transmission connection with the unfolding device, thereby allowing the umbrella surface to be unfolded or folded; the rotating arms are rotatably arranged on a mandrel; the mandrel propels one of the rotating arms and the corresponding umbrella rib to rotate.

A wind-resistant umbrella frame structure is applicable to an arrangement of dual canopies and includes a primary frame and a secondary frame. The primary frame has an inner end pivotally connected to a crown and an outer end connected to the annular lower canopy. The secondary frame is pivotally connected to the runner and has an opposite end pivotally connected to the primary frame. The primary frame includes an internal rib, an intermediate rib, an external rib, and a traction rib assembly, and also includes an intermediate rib return wire, an external rib return wire, and a collapse spring. The umbrella frame structure allows air flows to be readily conducted out and ensures the service life of the canopies.

A wind resistant umbrella includes an upper canopy that is attached to a lower canopy at select points. Elastic fasteners (e.g., elastic straps) elastically connect the upper canopy to the lower canopy. Flexible connectors that wrap around a peripheral edge of the lower canopy serve to both fixedly attach first ends of the elastic fasteners and provide pockets that receive free ends of the ribs to securely attach the ribs to the lower canopy.

A wind-resistant foldable umbrella includes a main shaft; a runner mounted around the main shaft and sliding between an opening position and a folding position; a first canopy and a second canopy with a central portion thereof fixed to the runner and the top end of the main shaft, respectively; a plurality of the umbrella ribs and a plurality of the pulling elements peripherally disposed around the main shaft and between the first canopy and the second canopy. Two ends of the pulling elements are connected to the corresponding umbrella rib and the runner, respectively. When the runner is at the opening position, the umbrella ribs expand toward the bottom end of the main shaft, so the first and the second canopy expand. Moreover, the umbrella ribs are pulled toward the main shaft by the resilient force from each pulling element.

An umbrella with a protective sheath assembly is provided. The umbrella can comprise a foldable canopy, a pole, a series of spokes extending from a hub slidable on the pole, the spokes supporting the canopy, a handle extended from the pole, and a foldable sheath selectively extendable from the canopy. A series of drawstrings can be provided for maintaining the sheath in a deployed state, the drawstrings connected to a cord for actuation of the drawstrings and consequently the deployment of the sheath. The protective sheath assembly provides partial to full body protection from inclement weather or natural elements including sun, wind, water, sand, mud, dirt, gravel, or other unwanted debris or dirt.

An adjustable, removable mesh canopy is adapted to fit umbrellas and parasols while providing a barrier to mosquitoes and other insects. A removable weight may be affixed to the bottom of the net to keep the net flush with the ground during movement and wind and to inhibit insect entry into the enclosed space. The top includes an adjustable drawstring opening which can be adjusted to fit umbrellas or parasols that vary in diameter. A closed seam runs down the side, and a resealable opening may be installed on the side of the net so that a user can temporarily extend a hand outside of the net through the opening.

The umbrella having an expandable canopy is an umbrella with a canopy of adjustable size. The umbrella having an expandable canopy is an umbrella that is further modified with a plurality of additional runners and stretchers which, when opened, are used to extend the effective diameter of the canopy to increase the protected area underneath the umbrella. The umbrella having an expandable canopy comprises a modified umbrella, a secondary canopy, a plurality of secondary stretchers, a plurality of modified ribs, a secondary runner, and a secondary top tip spring.

Umbrella devices, assemblies, and systems are shown and described. In one embodiment an umbrella visor includes an upper frame; a lower frame; a pair of distal hinges connecting the upper and lower frames; and an enclosure.

Embodiments of the invention provide a vented canopy system to keep umbrellas from flying away and becoming a safety hazard in strong winds. The system includes a trim that attaches to the umbrella support structure's outer edge, leaving an opening in the middle. A breathable support layer covers this opening, allowing air to pass through while still providing support. The umbrella may have several layered canopy sections disposed on top of the breathable support layer. Each section covers part of the open space in the middle, with upper sections overlapping lower sections. The inside edge of each section is attached to the umbrella frame, and the outside edge has a tether (like a string) that allows it to flip up in the wind but prevents it from flipping all the way over. This way, it flips back down when the wind stops.
