  • Patent number: 11459784
    Abstract: The anchor disc device supports and anchors an umbrella and includes a tube post to receive the free end of the pole of a beach umbrella with an anchor disc portion attached to the free end of the tube post. An end cap is installed in the free end of an extension of the anchor disc portion. The anchor disc portion includes an outwardly extending flange for engagement with sand into which the device is buried to help avoid disengagement of the umbrella from the sand from wind and the like. For removal, the umbrella is rotated in large circular motions to form a cone-shaped hole after which the umbrella and connected anchor disc device can be removed. The anchor disc device can then be detached from the umbrella, if desired.

  • Patent number: 9285076
    Abstract: The anchor device includes a post movably connected to a base and is lockable in shovel, anchor and storage positions. First, it is locked in a shovel position and a hole is dug in beach sand. The anchor device is then disengaged from the shovel position and then locked into an anchor position and then inserted into the hole and then covered with beach sand to secure the post portion of the anchor device in a vertical position with a portion of the post exposed above the surface of the sand. A beach umbrella is inserted into and secured to the post. To remove the anchor device from the sand, the anchor lock position is disengaged from above the sand to permit the post and the base to freely pivot relative to each other so the base and post can be easily pulled from the sand.
