  • Patent number: 4066170
    Abstract: A wall-mountable umbrella holder comprising a hollow, essentially tubular casing having an opening at upper end and a perforated pan-like member connected at lower end for receiving and supporting a collapsed umbrella, means provided on the casing for mounting the casing against a wall, and a cup-shaped member threadedly detachably connected to the bottom of the perforated pan-like member whereby all of the perforations through the pan-like member are directed into the cup-shaped member, so that the water from a moistened umbrella disposed in the casing can drain through the perforations into the cup-shaped member for ready removal. The casing is preferably made up of two telescopic sections frictionally sliding one inside the other so that the length of the casing can be manually adjusted to various umbrellas. The pan-like member is provided with means for ventilation in order to insure air-drying and prevent mildew or mold.
