The present disclosure relates to a responsive umbrella with a hands-free mechanism that allows a user to operate and hold the responsive umbrella without requiring the use of their hands. In some aspects, the hands-free mechanism may comprise a wearable strap or harness. In some embodiments, a responsive umbrella may be adjustable for the angle of extension from the hands-free mechanism, which may allow a user to adapt the responsive umbrella for different ambient conditions.

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.

A two-stage folding structurer for two-fold inverted umbrella includes an umbrella shaft assembly consisting of an inner shaft tube, an outer shaft tube and a handle, and a control device set including a release mechanism mounted in the outer shaft tube, a positioning device mounted in the inner shaft tube, a spring member connected between the release mechanism and the positioning device and a control device mounted to the handle. When the outer shaft tube is received to the inner shaft tube in the received position, the release mechanism is moved close to the positioning device, and a hook of the positioning device is forced to hook in a retaining notch of the release mechanism to lock the outer shaft tube and the inner shaft tube in the received position.

An umbrella is provided that has a support pole, a canopy frame, and a set up assembly. The canopy frame is coupled with the support pole. The set up assembly is coupled with the canopy frame. The set up assembly is configured to open the canopy frame. The set up assembly has an actuator handle, a recess disposed on or in the support pole, and a locking pin. The locking pin is coupled with the handle and is moveable by the handle along a first direction between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the locking pin is disposed in the recess. In the second position the locking pin is spaced away from the recess. Movement of the locking pin along the umbrella pole adjacent to the recess in a second direction transverse to the first direction moves the locking pin between the first position and the second position in the first direction without moving the actuator handle in the first direction.

Systems and methods for transitioning a portable weather canopy between at least two states are described, where a first state provides flexible shaft portions that can be worn on a user's body or wrapped about an object and a second state reversibly couples the flexible shaft portions to provide a rigid shaft to support the canopy. In an aspect, a collapsible, portable weather canopy includes, but is not limited to, a foldable canopy; and a collapsible shaft coupled to the foldable canopy.

A personal fogging umbrella having a handle, a head, and a pressurizer is disclosed. The handle includes a hollow cavity that is watertight. The head is coupled to the top end of the handle and comprises a plurality of two-stage fogging nozzles feed pressurized air and water from the hollow cavity of the handle through conduits. The head is pivotally coupled to a plurality of ribs connected to a flexible canopy. The pressurizer is releasably coupled to the bottom end of the handle and has a one-way valve connected to a pump to pressurize the air inside the hollow cavity. The handle has a shoulder rest, the handle extending upward from the shoulder rest toward the top end and extending outward to curve downward toward the bottom end. The handle above the shoulder rest is substantially linear, and the handle below the shoulder rest is at least partially curved.

The present disclosure relates to a responsive umbrella with a hands-free mechanism that allows a user to operate and hold the responsive umbrella without requiring the use of their hands. In some aspects, the hands-free mechanism may comprise a wearable strap or harness. In some embodiments, a responsive umbrella may be adjustable for the angle of extension from the hands-free mechanism, which may allow a user to adapt the responsive umbrella for different ambient conditions.

The present disclosure provides generally for an adjustable venue seating apparatus that may provide covering from ambient conditions. According to the present disclosure, an adjustable venue seating apparatus may allow a user to have flexibility for protection in a range of ambient conditions without having to change the type of covering device. In some aspects, an adjustable venue seating apparatus may be integrated temporarily or permanently into venue seating, such as a sports stadium or concert amphitheatre. In some embodiments, adjustable venue seating may need to be customized to the specifications of a venue, allowing for the enjoyment and safety of a user of the adjustable venue seating apparatus and surrounding attendees who may or may not have the adjustable venue seating apparatus on their seat.

An umbrella is provided that has a support pole, a canopy frame, and a set up assembly. The canopy frame is coupled with the support pole. The set up assembly is coupled with the canopy frame. The set up assembly is configured to open the canopy frame. The set up assembly has an actuator handle, a recess disposed on or in the support pole, and a locking pin. The locking pin is coupled with the handle and is moveable by the handle along a first direction between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the locking pin is disposed in the recess. In the second position the locking pin is spaced away from the recess. Movement of the locking pin along the umbrella pole adjacent to the recess in a second direction transverse to the first direction moves the locking pin between the first position and the second position in the first direction without moving the actuator handle in the first direction.
