An umbrella is provided that includes a hollow pole, a shade assembly, a counterweight system, and a locking device. The shade assembly includes a guide rod coupled with an upper hub. The guide rod has a stop surface. The counterweight system has a ballast and a cord that has a first end coupled with the ballast and a second end coupled with a lower hub. The locking device has pushrod mechanism. When closing the umbrella, the pushrod mechanism moves upward disengaging a moveable locking surface from the guide rod to allow the lower hub to move downward and the ballast to move upward.

An umbrella is provided that includes a hollow pole, a shade assembly, and a lift assembly. The shade assembly is coupled with an upper portion of the hollow pole. The shade assembly includes an upper hub, a lower hub, and a shade structure coupling the upper hub to the lower hub. The shade structure supports a shade member and the lower hub is moveable along the hollow pole. The lift assembly is disposed within the hollow pole. The lift assembly includes a gas spring and a cord. The cord has a first end coupled with the hollow pole and a second end coupled with the lower hub. When closing the umbrella, the cord applies a load to compress the gas spring. When opening the umbrella, the gas spring applies a load to the cord, to cause the lower hub to be moved upward.

A rotation mechanism for an umbrella comprises a vertical columnar (1), a rotating shaft (2), a ratchet (3) having a plurality of ratchet teeth (30), a magnet block (4) a pressing assembly (5), a limiting room (10); wherein the magnet block (4) is movably located inside the limiting room (10); when the ratchet (3) rotates in a first direction, the magnet block (4) departs from the ratchet teeth (30); when the ratchet (3) rotates in a second direction, the magnet block (4) is attached and magnetically attracted to the ratchet teeth (30); the pressing assembly (5) is connected to the rotating shaft (2) and presses against the two side surfaces of the ratchet (3). The present application also discloses an umbrella comprises the rotation mechanism. The structure is simple and it is easy to assemble.

A novel umbrella is disclosed with a simplified structure that creates a clean, elegant profile. The umbrella includes a support post having a hole, and a top housing and an opposing bottom housing supported by the post. The bottom housing has a bottom hub, a top cap disposed about the bottom hub, and an opposing bottom cap disposed about the bottom hub opposite the top cap. The bottom cap has a lever lock receptacle. Spokes are pivotally disposed about the top housing, and a canopy is disposed about the spokes. Struts are pivotally disposed about the bottom housing. A lever lock is retained by the lever lock receptacle, wherein the lever lock has a pin adapted to fit within the hole of the post for retaining the canopy in an open position.

Struts are pivotally disposed about the bottom housing, wherein each strut is pivotally connected to a respective spoke. A canopy is disposed about the plurality of spokes. A first and second set of rollers may be retained with the top housing. A third set of rollers may be retained within the bottom housing. A rope raises and lowers the canopy. A lever lock is disposed about the bottom housing to retain the rope when the umbrella is in an open position. The umbrella also has a rope storage slot within the support post for retaining any excess rope.

The present disclosure provides a sunshade includes a honeycomb component, a first center rod, a second center rod and a locking device. The honeycomb component is connected with several umbrella ribs, and the honeycomb component is configured to control opening and closing of the umbrella ribs. The honeycomb component sleeves the first center rod, and the first center rod is provided with a first through hole. The first center rod sleeves the second center rod, and the second center rod can slidably expand to an extended position or a contracted position within the first through hole. The second central rod is locked at the extended position or the contracted position through the locking device. The sunshade can be used as a golf umbrella, which is very beneficial for a user in outdoor activities or any situation that requires shading and greatly improves the user experience.

The present invention provides a pole shaft device including an outer shaft (10); an inner shaft (20) which is disposed in the outer shaft (10) and slides along the inside of the outer shaft (10); a fixing member (30) which is fixed on the inner shaft (20) and has an inclined surface formed in the circumferential direction thereof; and an extension member (40) which is coupled to the outer shaft (10) so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction thereof, and is extended by friction with the inclined surface so as to fix the outer shaft (10) and the inner shaft (20).
