Abstract: Provided is an opening device mounted on a shank of automatic umbrella including a sliding sleeve having a lower extension and a slot on the extension. The device comprises an upper trigger mechanism lockingly engaged with the extension in a closed condition of the umbrella such that pressing the trigger mechanism will disengage the trigger mechanism from the extension prior to automatically opening the umbrella, and a lower, spring biased rib tip retaining mechanism put on the shank and disposed above the handle, the rib tip retaining mechanism adapted to contain tips of ribs therein in the closed condition of the umbrella. Thus, the tips of ribs are not tangled with foreign objects or other umbrellas when the umbrella is stored in, for example, an umbrella stand.

Abstract: A sunshade base comprises a base adapted to engage with a support tube of a sunshade and two wheel assemblies each having a mounting plate and at least one wheel. The mounting plate is pivotally mounted to the base. The wheel is rotatably mounted to the mounting plate. The mounting plate is pivotable between a storage position in which the wheel does not contact the ground and an operative position in which the wheel is located on the ground and thus raises the base above the ground.

Abstract: An improved walking aid tip that is easy to use and provides for better support on smooth or slippery surfaces. The tip combines the features of an enlarged base for better stability on sand and gravel, a combination of convex and flat base to provide support for the user when the walking aid is positioned at a wide variety of angles with the ground surface, where the user is walking or standing still, a base made of a non-flexible rubber material so that the cane does not wobble and become unstable when in use and so that the base does not crack easily and have to be replaced frequently, an enlarged rigid support member that entirely covers and supports the rubber base so that the cane is less apt to wobble and so that the base is less likely to crack and have to be replaced prematurely, and a socket, a threaded screw, and a threaded screw hole to allow for easy installation of the tip. The enlarged base also allows people who would normally have to use a more cumbersome quad cane (e.g.

Abstract: A portable shade umbrella comprises a weighted base having a supporting pole secured in it, with the supporting pole having a curved upper section with a downwardly depending stud attached to the outer end of the curved section for supporting a rib assembly and a canopy, each of which includes central apertures penetrated by the stud and secured to the stud with a nut, which stretches the flexible canopy into a traditional umbrella shape. The length of the supporting pole is adjustable. The canopy includes a plurality of insertion pockets about its perimeter for receiving and retaining the outer ends of the curved ribs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for securing umbrella material to an umbrella rib end. The device includes a cap member having an external wall and an internal wall, the internal wall defining an internal bore having an opening at a distal of the internal wall; a pair of cooperating jaw members pivotally attached to one another, the jaw members have opposing gripping portions, the jaw members movable between an open position in which the gripping portions are spaced from one another and a closed position in which the gripping portions are approximated; and a flexible cord slidably secured through the cap member, the cap member connected at one end to one of the jaw members and at the other end to the other jaw member.

Abstract: This invention is a device capable of repairing umbrellas which have suffered a separation of fabric from the supporting frame. The device has a housing for the naked support tip and several flaps to hold the umbrella's fabric. The tip of the support frame is pushed into the housing of the device, then the fabric is pulled down to the tip and the device's flaps are closed. The flaps sandwich the fabric and secure it with small teeth and adhesive.

Abstract: An inexpensive rain water collecting device which is easy to manufacture. The rain water collecting device provides an effective device which is adaptable to various umbrella tip sizes and avoids any bacterial growth problems. The rain water collecting device includes at least a reservoir having a first open end and a second open end, the first open end has an opening with an inner perimeter which is substantially equal to an outer perimeter of the umbrella tip, and the second open end has an opening with a perimeter which is greater than the inner perimeter of the opening of the first open end; a ferrule formed about the opening of the first open end; and at least one flow barrier about the second open end of the reservoir. After using an umbrella in the rain, it is collapsed. The rain water on the cloth of the umbrella then drains into the reservoir of the rain water collecting device.

Abstract: An umbrella ring which is used to position the tips which connect every corner of the canopy to the ribs of the umbrella which can not be telescoped and mainly consisting of a shank, a canopy, ribs, tips and a handle. The improved ring brings all the ribs together and has a sleeve wherein one or more slots are formed for positioning the tips which connect the canopy to the ribs so that the umbrella ring can slide along the shank to an appropriate position to place the ribs and the tips completely in the inner space of the umbrella ring effectively and easily.
