| 20080223423 | Umbrella and umbrella canopy - An umbrella canopy having one or more single-canopy panels and one or more double-canopy panels. An umbrella having a central shaft, a spindle slidably disposed on the shaft and movable between a first position and a second position, a first plurality of radially extending ribs hingedly attached at first ends thereof to the shaft and terminating at second ends, a second plurality of radially extending ribs secured at first ends thereof hingedly to the spindle and secured at second ends thereof to respective ones of the first plurality of ribs and an umbrella canopy supported by the first plurality of ribs, wherein the canopy includes one or more single-canopy umbrella panels, and one or more double-canopy umbrella panels. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090235965 | Umbrella and Umbrella Canopy - An umbrella having a central shaft, a spindle slidably disposed on the shaft, a first plurality of radially extending ribs hingedly attached to the shaft, a second plurality of radially extending ribs secured at first ends thereof to the spindle and secured at second ends thereof to respective ones of the first plurality of ribs and an umbrella canopy supported by the first plurality of ribs, the canopy secured to the first ends of the first plurality of ribs adjacent to the second end of the central shaft and secured to the second ends of the second plurality of ribs at an outer perimeter of the canopy, wherein the canopy includes one or more single-canopy umbrella panels, and one or more double-canopy umbrella panels and wherein the double-canopy umbrella panels includes an upper canopy and a lower canopy, and wherein only the lower canopy is secured directly to the ribs. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20120073617 | Umbrella Having An Improved Locking Mechanism - An umbrella including a tube, a whale bone device, a barrel slidably engaged on the tube, means for coupling the barrel to the whale bone device, and a latch slidably received in the channel. The tube includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion includes a handle provided thereon. The upper portion includes an upper locking point formed within the tube. The lower portion includes a lower locking point formed within the tube. The whale bone device is pivotally secured to the upper portion of the tube and is movable between an open position and a folded position. The barrel includes a channel formed therein. The latch includes a support element and a locking element. The support element is slidably received in the channel of the barrel for slidably receiving the tube therein. The locking element is supported by the support element and adapted to engage with the upper locking point and the lower locking point when the channel is aligned with one of the upper locking point and the lower locking point. When the locking element is engaged with one of the upper locking point and the lower locking point, the locking element restrains the barrel from sliding along the tube. When the locking element is not engaged with one of the upper locking point and the lower locking point, the barrel slides freely along the tube. | 03-29-2012 |
