An adjustable non-view obscuring umbrella having a canopy and a support structure. The support structure having a support post, a plurality of non-articulating umbrella ribs, and at least one articulating umbrella rib. An articulating umbrella rib having an upper rib member, a lower rib member, and an umbrella rib articulation mechanism. An umbrella rib articulation mechanism having an upper bracket and a rotation actuation member, wherein the rotation actuation member is rotationally coupled to the upper bracket.

This disclosure provides a system and method for limiting a swing angle of a jib crane, the jib crane having a jib rotatably mounted to a mast. The device can have a collar having a collar height and a collar width, the collar being configured to be fit to the mast at a stop height. The device can also have one or more stopping tabs enagagable with the collar and configured to be positioned on the collar at one or more points about a circumference of the mast. The stop height can place the one or more stopping tabs in a position coincident with the jib to interfere with the swing angle of the jib. The method can use the device to limit the angle through which the jibe crane can swing unimpeded.

A hinge includes internal on-axis stopping mechanisms that cause the hinge to shear and break at an on-axis weakened region of the hinge when rotation of the hinge reaches a predetermined angle with a specified torsional load. The on-axis configuration is compact, has minimal impact on the outer mold line (OML) of the object to which it is mounted both pre and post detachment and allows for accurate tailoring of the torsional load that will detach the hinge.

A rotatable assembly includes a rotatable collar, a rotatable stopper and a fixed stopper. The rotatable collar has a first slide groove. The rotatable stopper includes a first slider and a second slider which are opposite to each other. The first slider slidably is installed in the first slide groove. The rotatable collar is rotatable relative to the rotatable stopper within a first rotatable angle by the first slider. The fixed stopper has a second slide groove. The second slider is slidably installed in the second slide groove. The rotatable stopper is rotatable relative to the fixed stopper within a second rotatable angle by the second slider. A sum of the first rotatable angle and the second rotatable angle is 360 degrees.
