An umbrella having a pet waste bag dispenser is provided. The umbrella includes a canopy mounted to a post, a handle at a lower end of the post. The handle has a first end attached to the post and a second end having a cap member which is a removably attachable on an open bottom of the second end. The handle further defines a cavity therein and an opening formed on a side of the handle. The plurality of bags are in a rolled-up configuration and positionable within the cavity. Each bag of the bag module is accessible through the opening when the bag module is positioned within the cavity.

Introduced here is an umbrella stand capable of securely holding umbrellas of various sizes, shapes, and weights. The umbrella stand includes a base and a holder portion. The base includes mechanisms to secure the umbrella stand to a surface such as ground spikes or suction cups. The holder portion is connected to the base via abutments that protrude up from the periphery of the base. The holder portion and the base are separated by a gap. The holder portion includes tightening mechanisms and a door. The tightening mechanisms help securely hold an umbrella handle or shaft and can adjust the angle at which the umbrella is held. The door, in combination with the gap, allow a user to use the umbrella stand with umbrellas with handles of various shapes and sizes.

An intelligent shading umbrella comprises a base assembly, an umbrella support assembly coupled to a base assembly, a first memory, a first processor coupled to the first memory, and a computing device, wherein the computing device has a non-volatile memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, a second memory, and a second processor. A first processor communicates commands and/or signals to the umbrella support assembly to cause movement of the umbrella support assembly. A second processor, of the computing device, is enclosed within the intelligent shading object fetches computer-readable instructions from the non-volatile memory, loads the computer-readable instructions from the non-volatile memory into the second memory, and executes the computer-readable instructions to communicate with external computing devices and/or to generate commands and/or signals to the first processor to request movements of the umbrella shading assembly.

An intelligent umbrella includes a base assembly, a center support assembly having one or more arm support assemblies, and one or more arms coupled to the one or more arm support assemblies. The center support assembly is a tubular structure to house electrical and mechanical components. The umbrella includes a computing device, the computing device integrated inside the center support assembly. The computing device includes one or more memory devices, one or more processors and computer-readable instructions stored in the one or more memory devices and executable by the one or more processors. The intelligent umbrella includes a shading fabric. The intelligent umbrella includes a camera, the camera to capture images of an area in proximity to the intelligent shading umbrella, the camera integrated inside the center support assembly.

An intelligent shading charging system, includes a housing having a rechargeable battery installed therein, a lower support assembly connected to the housing and an upper support assembly, the upper support assembly including one or more arm support assemblies. The intelligent shading charging system further includes a hinging assembly connecting a lower support assembly to an upper support assembly to allow an upper support assembly to rotate with respect to the lower support assembly, one or more arms connected to the one or more are support assemblies, a shading fabric; and one or more solar cell arrays mounted on or integrated within the shading fabric.

A wearable canopy shade is provided. The wearable canopy shade includes a canopy secured a frame, wherein the frame includes a bulbous first end and a narrower second end. The frame is movable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the open position, the second end is perpendicular to the first end, such that the second end is configured to rest parallel to a back of a user wearing the shade and the first end rests above a head of the user, providing shade to a user positioned thereunder. The shade includes a pair of shoulder straps that can secure the frame to the user. A cord is securable between the first end of the frame and the pair of shoulder straps in order to prevent the rotation of the first end of the frame relative to the second end when the shade is in use.

A device supported by a vertical support and vertical support frame including an upper section that is configured to engage the vertical support. The upper section includes an opening segment configured to encircle a vertical support, pocket with cinching device and a tab implement configured to secure said upper section to the vertical support, and a first closure mechanism that is configured to close a divide(s)/open side(s) on said upper section. A lower section is configured to extend a coverage of the upper section including a closure mechanism that is configured to close an open side(s) of said lower section(s). A closure/connection mechanism that is configured to connect said upper and lower sections together and a rib pocket segment disposed on an outside edge of the lower section for engaging an end portion of a rib section of a support frame.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) configured to be carried on a vehicle and a method and a system for holding umbrella using the UAV are disclosed. The UAV and the vehicle are communicated with each other wirelessly. The UAV can be used for providing the service of holding umbrella for the occupant getting on/off the vehicle. The occupant does not have to manually hold the umbrella, so as to effectively solve the problem of getting wet when getting on/off the vehicle due to holding umbrella manually.

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.

Disclosed is an anchoring umbrella stand with a manually extendable drill bit. In certain exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, the anchoring umbrella stand includes a drill bit that can be manually extendable from and manually retractable into an elongate housing body by use of a crank handle. Manual operation of the crank handle rotates and translates the drill bit between a retracted position within the elongate housing body and an extended position outside the elongate housing body. In certain embodiments, the anchoring umbrella stand further includes a gear train assembly and/or a stabilizing plate to further aid a user in anchoring the umbrella stand. The anchoring umbrella stand facilitates umbrella anchoring by providing a more stable anchoring mechanism that requires less strength, less coordination, and no electric power to operate.
