Abstract: Described herein are securing devices configured to hold one object to another. In some embodiments the securing devices are specifically configured to connect an umbrella to a table. The securing devices can comprise a base component configured to receive a first object and one or more support components configured to connect the base component, and thus the first object, to a second object.

Abstract: Described herein are securing devices configured to securing hold of one object to another to mitigate the effect random forces such as adverse weather conditions have on the objects and prevent their disconnection. In some embodiments the securing devices are specifically configured to connect an umbrella to a table such that the umbrella will not be removed from the table by strong winds. This configuration also eliminates the need for an umbrella base and limits the effect of strong winds on movement of the table as well. The securing devices can comprise a base component configured to receive a first object and one or more support components configured to connect the base component, and thus the first object, to a second object.
