An umbrella system includes a support pole connected to a rotating tube positioned around a center tube that extends between the support pole and a center support that is connected to an umbrella frame. The rotating tube has one or more helical grooves therein that are engaged by teeth of a hub which is connected to the umbrella frame. As the rotating tube is rotated, the hub is driven along the length of the rotating tube thereby opening and closing the umbrella frame. In one arrangement system includes a motor housing assembly including a plurality of batteries and a motor that includes a driven gear that meshes with a stationary gear which causes rotation of the rotating tube.

An assembly for an umbrella, wherein the umbrella comprises (i) a first pole and a canopy coupleable to the first pole and (ii) a second pole to which the assembly is coupleable, wherein the assembly includes a collar securable about the second pole; an arm coupled to the collar, wherein the arm is rotatable relative to the collar between at least a closed position and an open position; at least one tab depending from the arm; at least a first opening associated with the collar; wherein in the closed position the at least one tab is positioned in the at least first opening and wherein in the open position the at least one tab is not positioned in the at least first opening. The invention is also directed to an umbrella including the aforementioned assembly.

A sunshade device and sunshade management system for mitigating the effects of climate change and direct and prolonged exposure to the sun, the sunshade device including a canopy attached to a collapsible web or frame structure. The frame structure can be collapsed or opened by operation of an electric motor. The sunshade device is positioned above the ground by electrically powered lifting devices that are powered by a battery system that is charged by solar cells. A sunshade management system controls the status of the sunshade device, and can collapse the frame and activate the lifting devices to position the sunshade in the sky, and open the frame and deactivate the lifting devices to allow the sunshade device to slowly descend while providing shade to areas below the sunshade device.

This disclosure provides a multi-functional safety umbrella comprising a main pipe. An umbrella tail is fixedly disposed on an upper side of the main pipe, and a safety structure is disposed on a lower side of the main pipe. The safety structure comprises a safety hammer, and an umbrella head is disposed on an outside of the safety structure. The umbrella head is detachably connected with the safety structure. When the umbrella head and the safety structure is fixed together, the safety hammer of the safety structure is hidden in the umbrella head. A safety hammer structure is disposed at a lower position of the main pipe, and then the umbrella head is disposed on the outside of the safety hammer, so that without affecting the overall appearance and use of the umbrella, the safety hammer can be hidden.

The umbrella for pets comprises an umbrella, a front support, and a rear support. The umbrella may be adapted to shield a pet from weather. As non-limiting examples, the weather may comprise rain, snow, sleet, sunshine, or combinations thereof. The front support and the rear support may be adapted to removably couple to the pet and may hold the umbrella above the pet. The front support and the rear support may pivot up against a canopy of the umbrella for storage and transportation. In some embodiments, a left side panel and a right side panel may detachably couple to the sides of the umbrella to provide additional shielding from wind-blown weather. In some embodiments, a carrying bag may be uniquely adapted to transport the umbrella when not in use on the pet.

A beverage holding support structure, for use in a pool, includes a base configured to be disposed at a non-equilibrium sloped position within a pool relative to a horizontal plane and parallel to a sloped bottom surface of the pool, a base connector connected to the base, an articulating mechanism adjustably coupled to the base connector and extended upwardly therefrom, at least one extension pole aligned with a centrally registered longitudinal axis and statically affixed to an upper portion of the articulating mechanism, and a cup holder tray attached to the at least one extension pole. The beverage holding support structure has a center of gravity configured to prohibit the base from being tipped over from the non-equilibrium sloped position while the cup holder tray is maintained at a horizontal position parallel to the horizontal plane above a top water level surface of the pool.

The present disclosure proposes a multipurpose floating weather canopy. The multipurpose floating weather canopy comprises of an inner gas tight hollow body, an outer gas tight hollow body, a mesh and plurality of ropes. The multipurpose floating weather canopy aids to shield and protect homes, vehicles and thereof from adverse effects of weather conditions such as sunlight and snow. The size of the multipurpose floating weather canopy is variable based on object size that includes either house or vehicle or factory and thereof. The multipurpose floating weather canopy can be manufactured with required mesh material to protect from heat or snow based on the weather condition.

The umbrella with heater includes an umbrella, a heating subsystem, an air moving subsystem, a recharging subsystem, and one or more operator controls. The umbrella may be a collapsible cover adapted to keep rain, snow, and sunlight off of a user. The heating subsystem may produce warm air that may be released from a plurality of ribs of the umbrella during cold weather. The air moving subsystem may move the warm air into the plurality of ribs. The recharging subsystem may recharge a battery located within a handle of the umbrella. A canopy of the umbrella may comprise a waterproof coating. The one or more operator controls may be adapted for the user to enable and disable the heating subsystem, the air moving subsystem, or combinations thereof.

An umbrella acoustics lamp includes a housing, an acoustics device mounted in the housing, and a lighting device mounted in the housing. The housing has a receiving space. The acoustics device is mounted in the receiving space and includes a battery, a circuit board, a speaker, and a speaker rack. The speaker rack is secured in the receiving space. The speaker is mounted on the speaker rack. The lighting device is mounted in the receiving space and includes a base, a light source, a reflector, a light output board, and a washer. The base is secured to and located under the speaker rack. The base is provided with a receiving chamber. The light output board, the washer, and the reflector are in turn received in the receiving chamber. The light source is located above the base.

The formation of dynamic, micro-climate groups consisting of passive and active weather collecting devices is provided. Such devices may collect weather information in real-time. The collected information may be distributed weather information and or forecasts to individuals in a particular geographical area or to other subscribers.
