| 20100258151 | WIND-RESISTANT UMBRELLA - A wind-resistant umbrella is disclosed. The wind-resistant umbrella includes a canopy having one or more cutout sections. Each cutout section is covered by a flap. The flap is attached to the canopy at an upper edge. The flap is held in place by a limiting element such as an elastic strip. Ideally, the flaps cover and overlap the cutouts. Thus, when wind blows, air flow can take place through the cutout sections from the underside of the canopy. The flaps will be displaced by the air flow. Once the air flow dips below a threshold level, the flaps return to their closed position. Thus, the umbrella functions to provide shade or rain protection, but will not be damaged or blown about with a gust of wind as the cutout sections allow air to flow through the canopy. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110088735 | WEATHER-RESISTANT UMBRELLA OR PARASOL HAVING EXTENSIBLE COMPARTMENTED AND INDEPENDENT OPENINGS - A system such as a foldable and unfoldable umbrella, sunshade, or parasol for protection against bad weather, includes: a pole ( | 04-21-2011 |
| 20140326284 | UMBRELLA COVER AND BEACH UMBRELLA - An umbrella cover includes: a main umbrella cove provided with a vent; and a shading portion arranged at the vent and adapted to shade sunshine from the vent. When wind blows toward the umbrella cover, a part of the wind may blow through the vent and take away hot inside the umbrella, thus achieving the ventilation of the umbrella. In addition, since the main umbrella cover is provided with the vent, the area of the umbrella cover subjected to the wind force is reduced and the wind force subjected by the umbrella cover is reduced further, thus improving the stability of the umbrella, and thereby decreasing the risk of the umbrella blown down by the wind. Furthermore, since the umbrella cover is the umbrella cover of one layer constituted by the main umbrella cover and the shading portions, the hot inside the umbrella is easy to be dissipated. | 11-06-2014 |
| 20150083173 | PRIVACY UMBRELLA - A privacy umbrella includes a canopy, and at least a portion of the canopy includes a section made of a one-way material that allows an individual under the canopy to see outward through the one-way material, but which prevents people outside the canopy from obtaining a good view through the one-way material into the interior of the canopy. The canopy could have only a single panel of one-way material, multiple panels of one-way material, or one or more windows of one-way material. Alternatively, the entire canopy could be formed of a one-way material. The one-way material could be formed from various different materials or layers such that the one-way functionality is obtained. | 03-26-2015 |
