Abstract: An umbrella handle adapted to be temporarily attached to the side window or to the roof of a vehicle to overlie a door opening and provide protection for the user and to enable the user to have both hands free to load or unload articles into or out of the vehicle. The handle includes a mounting portion that carries one or more suction cups, either alone or together with a magnet. The mounting portion can be at the base of the handle, for temporarily securing the umbrella to a vehicle roof. Alternatively, the mounting portion can be an attachment panel that is laterally spaced from that umbrella handle, either in a fixed inclined position relative to the umbrella handle, or it can be pivotally connected with the handle to swing inwardly and outwardly. The attachment panel carries one or more suction cups, a magnet or magnetic strip, or a combination of suction cups and magnets. The suction cups permit mounting of the handle to a non-metallic surface, such as a vehicle window.
