  • Patent number: 11452347
    Abstract: A personal fogging umbrella having a handle, a head, and a pressurizer is disclosed. The handle includes a hollow cavity that is watertight. The head is coupled to the top end of the handle and comprises a plurality of two-stage fogging nozzles feed pressurized air and water from the hollow cavity of the handle through conduits. The head is pivotally coupled to a plurality of ribs connected to a flexible canopy. The pressurizer is releasably coupled to the bottom end of the handle and has a one-way valve connected to a pump to pressurize the air inside the hollow cavity. The handle has a shoulder rest, the handle extending upward from the shoulder rest toward the top end and extending outward to curve downward toward the bottom end. The handle above the shoulder rest is substantially linear, and the handle below the shoulder rest is at least partially curved.

  • Publication number: 20080179426
    Abstract: The Rainmaker is a personal umbrella combined with a pressurized misting system. Misting nozzles attach directly to the ribs of the canopy, using the ribs as an avenue for pressurized liquid. These objects do not hinder the ability to operate the opening and closing of the umbrella. The shaft of the umbrella acts as a reservoir and contains the water for misting. The handle doubles as a hand pump, creating the necessary pressure needed to create a proper mist. This self-contained unit promises a mobile, self-reliant, ecology minded, personal cooling, and humidified surroundings.
