Abstract: An automated umbrella assembly includes an umbrella that is positionable between a deployed position and a stored position. A worm gear is rotatably coupled to the umbrella for urging the umbrella between the deployed position and the stored position. A pole is provided and the umbrella is pivotally coupled to the pole. A base insertably receives the pole such that the umbrella is spaced from the base. A control circuit is positioned in the pole and a worm gear motor is coupled to the umbrella. The worm gear is rotatably coupled to the worm gear motor and the worm gear motor is electrically coupled to the control circuit. The worm gear motor rotates the worm gear in a first direction to urge the umbrella into the stored position. The worm gear motor rotates the worm gear in a second direction to urge the umbrella the deployed position.
