Abstract: A combined portable umbrella and air blower comprising an elongate shaft, an umbrella canopy coupled to the elongate shaft for providing protection from adverse weather conditions, and an air propulsion mechanism operably coupled to the elongate shaft for enabling a clearing of debris from an external surface. Air may be propelled through an air conduit that comprises an elongate hollow tube that is devoid of air-conveying openings therealong, that is disposed within the elongate shaft, and that has an air outlet coincident with a first end of the elongate shaft. A nozzle may be disposed at the first end of the elongate shaft for focusing and directing propelled air. A removable, protective cap with a ground-engaging spike may be attachable to the air outlet and retained by a tether.
