Anchoring umbrella stand with manually extendable drill bit

An anchoring umbrella stand, comprising:

• a housing assembly comprising:
• an elongate housing body extending along a first axis;
• a threaded sleeve positioned within the elongate housing body;
• a bearing assembly positioned within the elongate housing body;
• and
• a stabilizing plate attached to the elongate housing body proximate a bottom of the elongate housing body, the stabilizing plate comprising a plurality of ribs radially extending at a bottom surface of the stabilizing plate;
• a gearbox assembly attached to a top end of the elongate housing body, the gearbox assembly comprising:
• a gearbox housing;
• an umbrella mount attached to a top of the gearbox housing;
• a crank handle rotatably attached to the gearbox housing, an axis of rotation of the crank handle being perpendicular to the first axis of the elongate housing body, the crank handle rotatable relative to the elongate housing body;
• a gear train assembly at least partially positioned within the gearbox housing, the gear train assembly comprising an input shaft attached to the crank handle, an input gear attached to the input shaft, an output gear mechanically coupled to the input gear, and an output shaft attached to the output gear;
• and
• a driving shaft attached to the output shaft, the driving shaft comprises a non-circular cross-section;
• and
• a drill assembly mechanically coupled to the gearbox assembly and at least partially positioned within the elongate housing body, the drill assembly comprising:
• a hollow drill shaft with a top end and a bottom end, at least a portion of the hollow drill shaft of the drill assembly positioned within and extending through the bearing assembly;
• a threaded lead screw attached to the top end of the hollow drill shaft and positioned within the elongate housing body, the threaded lead screw mechanically coupled to the threaded sleeve of the housing assembly, the threaded lead screw defining a channel with a non-circular cross-section, at least a portion of the driving shaft positioned within the channel of the threaded lead screw;
• and
• a drill bit attached to the bottom end of the hollow drill shaft, the drill bit mechanically coupled to the crank handle and translatable relative to the elongate housing body between a retracted position within the elongate housing body to an extended position outside the elongate housing body proximate the bottom of the elongate housing body;
• wherein manual operation of the crank handle rotates the driving shaft via the gear train assembly, which rotates and translates the threaded lead screw relative to the threaded sleeve, which rotates and translates the drill bit between the retracted position and the extended position.
