A backpack with an integral umbrella that enables a user to be protected by an umbrella without the necessity of having to hold it during use, thus leaving one's hands free for other tasks is herein disclosed. A smaller vertical compartment within the backpack houses the umbrella which is deployed by an actuator mechanism on a shoulder strap portion of the backpack. When deployed, the umbrella extends upward over the top of the user via a sectionalized shaft. In such a manner the user is protected from rain and other elements while walking and wearing the backpack, leaving both hands free to perform other tasks. |

An apparatus for preventing a closed outdoor table umbrella from opening. To attain this, a continuous ring fixably attached to a distal end of a long handle is placed around the body of an umbrella. In use, a user extends the ring above the umbrella, and lowers it until snug about the umbrella. In an embodiment, the long handle includes a hand-hold at its proximal end. Such a hand-hold may rest upon an outdoor table-top while an attached ring is in place about an umbrella extending up from the center of the table. Also, a method of retaining an umbrella. |

The present invention provides for an umbrella with an elastomeric tie strap. The tie strap is capable of stretching in length upon pressure by the user applied to the strap to lengthen it while securing the umbrella cover folds and rib linkages around the centerpost of the umbrella. The present invention also provides for an umbrella with an elastomeric carrying strap. |

A golf umbrella case is designed for positioning in a golf bag between two transverse partitioning strips at a top opening of the golf bag for receiving a golf umbrella therein, so that the golf bag has an integral and valuable appearance without an outward protruded portion to collide or interfere with external things and cause discomfort to a person carrying the golf bag on shoulder. Any rainwater remained on the golf umbrella is collected in the golf umbrella case without internally wetting the golf bag, and the golf umbrella case may be easily removed from the golf bag to clear rainwater and dust accumulated therein. |

A catch-free umbrella includes: a central shaft, a rib assembly pivotally secured to the shaft and an umbrella cloth secured on the rib assembly; with the rib assembly having a plurality of top ribs pivotally secured between an upper notch formed on the shaft and a plurality of stretcher ribs pivotally inclinedly secured to a runner slidably held on the shaft; and the top ribs radially arcuately bent to form a lotus-shape arrangement when opening the umbrella to form an upward force fraction acting on the runner for lifting the runner and the rib assembly without gravitational descending; whereby upon closing of the umbrella by initially lowering the runner, the top ribs of lotus-shape arrangement will serve as closing springs for closing the umbrella automatically. |

Umbrella opening and closing device without use of spring latches |

Shih-Chen Huang |
An umbrella opening and closing device adapted for a non-foldable umbrella and is particularly characterized in its simple structure and the lack of conventional spring lactches used to support the main runner in place when the canopy of the umbrella is opened. The present opening and closing device is made up of a first retainer extended from a fixed upper mounting member and a second retainer secured to the slidable main runner that are able to be tightly engaged with each other when the umbrella is opened and can be forced to separate when the umbrella is to be collapsed. A rib fixing ring having a plurality of securing recesses disposed on the periphery thereof is located just below the second retainer for the catching of the ribs of the closed umbrella. The first retainer is provided with a number of female cavities and the second retainer is provided with a number of male protrusions; each male protrusion and each female cavity is made integrally complementary in shape to each other so that each protrusion can be tightly fitted in the corresponding cavity when the first retainer and the second retainer is engaged with each other so as to firmly keep the main runner in place for opening the umbrella. |

Tilmann Schultes; Klaus Stiller |
A mechanism for releasing the slider (4) of an umbrella frame, has a trigger sleeve (8), which cooperates with a locking member (6) of the slider and is axially movable in or on a handle (2) of the umbrella against spring action to move the locking member out of its locking engagement with in the slider. In order to simplify the release for clumsy or ignorant umbrella users or for foolproof operation, there is arranged on the trigger sleeve a secondary trigger which may be pressed radially inwards either manually or upon axial displacement of the trigger to move the locking member out its locking engagement with the slider. |
