A support apparatus for a café umbrella has a support arm pivotally attached to a generally vertical pole. In a preferred uneven-arm arrangement, a canopy-supporting end of the arm is further to one side of the pole than a second, actuator-connected end of the arm is to the other side of the pole. An actuator mechanism connected between the pole and the shorter portion of the arm and can be used to raise or lower the canopy supporting end of the arm by moving the second end of the arm respectively toward or away from the pole. A cable assembly runs along the length of the support arm so that one end hangs beneath the canopy supporting end of the arm where it can retain a removable canopy. The other end of the cable assembly is attached to the pole so that when the actuator draws the arm toward the pole and raises its canopy-supporting end, the free end of the cable moves downward so as to collapse the canopy. |

An anti-slip opening and closing device for an umbrella is described, which comprises a rope reeled on a roller positioned on a pole of the umbrella. The roller is screwed with a reel having a friction disc. The friction disc is set inside a notch of a ratchet wheel. An elastic accessory is positioned between the roller and the ratchet wheel for pushing the friction disc to lean against the ratchet wheel. A block part is disposed to resist the ratchet wheel reversing. A bearing positioned at a side of the reel leans against beads of a cap positioned on the pole. When the reel is rotated clockwise, the roller and the reel are screwed together, and the rope is reeled by the roller. Hence, the umbrella is opened due to the pull of the rope, and the roller is not reversed by the obstruction of the block part. On the other hand, the reel is backed from the roller by rotating counterclockwise and leans against the beads. The friction between the friction disc and the ratchet wheel becomes minor if the reel keeps rotating. Then, the rope is released and the umbrella is folded gradually. If the reel stops rotating, the roller also stops rotating because of the friction produced between the friction disc and the ratchet wheel. Therefore, it is easy to operate the umbrella and to prevent the umbrella collapsing suddenly. |

A stand frame for an umbrella comprises a shaft, an umbrella frame, a foldable hanger arm hanging the umbrella frame, a height-adjustable device, and an angle-adjusting device. The stand frame for an umbrella utilizes the height-adjustable device and the angle-adjusting device to control the expansion/contraction and angular orientation of the umbrella frame thereof. The height-adjustable device provides a mechanism by which the middle section of the shaft can rotate horizontally, so as to move the umbrella frame about the shaft. A pull string extending from the shaft to the umbrella frame drives a vertical movement of the upper section of the shaft and the expansion of the umbrella frame simultaneously. A set of other pull strings are manipulated by the angle-adjusting device to vary the angular orientation of the umbrella frame in three dimensions. |
