Abstract: A stretchable bottle container comprising a stretchable bottle body, a bottle cap, and portable hanging accessories, useful as an umbrella accessory, or as a packaging and storage container. The body of the stretchable bottle is a cylinder which has one closed end and one open end, and the wall of the cylinder contains stretchable wavy structures. The open end of the stretchable bottle body is connected with the bottle cap through a detachable tightening seal connection which is airtight and waterproof. The size difference between diameters of the opening of the bottle and that of the body (1) is less than 10%.

Hanging accessories for portability are connectable with the bottle cap through a sectional structure with capability of repeated detachments and re-attachments or through a hanging carabiner which has open and shut configurations.

Abstract: An umbrella draining assembly mainly includes a cylindrical containing cistern body, a flinging device disposed in an inner section of the containing cistern body, and a bearing plate disposed at a bottom edge of the containing cistern body. A positioning component is disposed in the containing cistern body. The flinging device includes an embedding section, at an inner edge thereof is disposed a plurality of tapering serrated segments. A transmission component is disposed at a bottom edge of the embedding section. When the umbrella draining assembly is in use, a top shaft of an umbrella is inserted into the embedding section, with the positioning component fixing the position of the umbrella. The transmission component drives the embedding section to rotate quickly, causing rainwater on the umbrella to be flung outward due to centrifugal force and to fall on the bearing plate at a bottom edge of the containing cistern body.

Abstract: A splash-proof umbrella structure comprises a rod passing through a slide sleeve sliding up and down along the rod. The slide sleeve is coupled to support sticks. A piece of umbrella cloth is arranged on the support sticks. The upper side of the rod has a first rod sleeve and a second rod sleeve. The first rod sleeve has first link rods coupled to the support sticks. The second rod sleeve has second link rods coupled to the first link rods. The bottom of the rod has a handle. When getting off a vehicle in rain, the user can open the umbrella in a confined space to prevent from being wetted by rainwater via sliding the slide sleeve upward to stretch the umbrella cloth bottom-up. When not in use, the umbrella cloth can be collapsed via sliding the slide sleeve toward the handle. Further, the handle can collect rainwater.

Abstract: A safety umbrella comprising fluorescent fabric panels, of which, at least one panel is transparent, a skeleton, a shaft assembly, and a cover assembly. Interconnecting the skeleton to the shaft assembly is a runner, which allows a user to open and close the umbrella and elongated sleeves upon stretchers to prevent pinching or trapping the fingers of the users thereof.

Abstract: An inexpensive rain water collecting device which is easy to manufacture. The rain water collecting device provides an effective device which is adaptable to various umbrella tip sizes and avoids any bacterial growth problems. The rain water collecting device includes at least a reservoir having a first open end and a second open end, the first open end has an opening with an inner perimeter which is substantially equal to an outer perimeter of the umbrella tip, and the second open end has an opening with a perimeter which is greater than the inner perimeter of the opening of the first open end; a ferrule formed about the opening of the first open end; and at least one flow barrier about the second open end of the reservoir. After using an umbrella in the rain, it is collapsed. The rain water on the cloth of the umbrella then drains into the reservoir of the rain water collecting device.

Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a water collecting handle with a foldable sheath received therein which is engaged to the bottom of a folding umbrella. The handle is equipped with a downward movable cap that is provided with a cork-like element at the bottom thereof so that water collected in the handle can be discharged therefrom. The handle has room at the bottom thereof to receive the foldable sheath which is secured at one end to the inside of the handle and the other end thereof is opened with a pull cord attached thereto. An identification card is secured to the pull cord. When the received sheath is pulled out and extended upward to wrap the collapsed umbrella, the rain-dampened umbrella is completely enclosed in the sheath and the remaining rain water collected drip by drip in the cap.

Abstract: An inverted-frustoconical container houses a clamp for clamping the tip of an umbrella, and a rain-water drain valve. The drain valve is normally biased closed, but downward force on the container opens the valve. When the umbrella tip is held in the clamp and the umbrella is stood tip-downward in the container, any rain water accumulated on the umbrella cloth runs into and is collected within the container. To drain the collected water from the container, a user bears downward on the umbrella shaft to force the container against the floor or ground and thereby open the valve.

Abstract: An umbrella comprises a flexible water collecting device and a self-supporting device both provided generally within the upper portion of a stick member and controlled by a controlling device. When one releases the controlling device, the water collecting device and the supporting device will protrude out of the stick member a certain length by a spring mounted in a handle. The water collecting device can automatically open to form a small umbrella upon protruding out of the stick member.
