  • Publication number: 20120168598
    Abstract: The device is a portable umbrella attachment used to mount on the frame of any glass embedded automobile door. It is equipped to support the weight and torque of an umbrella during adverse weather conditions. The device extends the functionality of an umbrella to allow it to serve as a shield and limit weather elements like rain, hail, and snow from entering the user's open automobile door. It also protects the driver or passengers from bad weather elements while they enter, exit or stand by the automobile. The affixing mechanism is designed to apply enough forceful pressure such as a squeezing/gripping motion to secure the umbrella's handle into the device or securely attach the device to a glass embedded automobile door frame. Thus, the user can singlehandedly maneuver this motion. The device has an adjustable shaft; thus, the user can change the direction of the umbrella depending on the situation.
