Abstract: A folding umbrella includes multiple sets of rib members, each of which includes pivotally connected connecting element, inner, middle, and outer main ribs, stretcher, and inner and outer links. Since the inner link is a round-sectioned rib, and the inner main rib and the stretcher are U-sectioned ribs, the inner link is received in the inner main rib, and the inner main rib with the inner link received therein along with the connecting element are received in the stretcher when the folding umbrella is fully collapsed, allowing the collapsed folding umbrella to have a further reduced volume. The folding umbrella also includes a lower hub having an inward curved waist portion and a conic lower wall portion that provide an increased contact area for a user to comfortably and easily move the lower hub upward or downward to open or collapse the folding umbrella.

Abstract: A ferrule for umbrella is made of a light-transmissible material and defines an internal space for accommodating a light-emitting element mounted on a top of the umbrella. The ferrule is fixedly connected to a top of a shaft or an upper hub of the umbrella and is characterized in that at least a part of outer and inner surfaces of the ferrule is provided with a plurality of protrusions. The protrusions function like lens to diffract and scatter light emitted from the light-emitting element to create an enhanced illuminating effect, enabling the umbrella to have a bright illuminating source that provides good visually warning effect.

Abstract: A wind-stable umbrella includes structurally enhanced connectors for connecting ribs to an upper hub and pull cords extended between a middle hub and near-outer ends of the ribs. Each of the connectors includes a forward extended lug portion that is connected to the upper hub, and two shoulder portions extended from two lateral sides of an upper outer end of the lug portion. The shoulder portions increase a structural strength of the lug portions and press against an outer surface of the upper hub when the umbrella is stretched, so that the ribs are more stably connected to the upper hub via the connectors. The pull cords pull outer portions of the ribs inward when the umbrella is stretched, preventing the ribs from turning outward under a strong wind. The wind-stable umbrella therefore has solid overall structure to avoid twist and deformation due to the strong wind.
