Abstract
An electronic umbrella is provided. The device includes a housing having a fastener disposed on a lower surface thereof. A motor is disposed within the housing, wherein the motor is operably connected to a power source disposed within the housing. A rod is affixed to an upper surface of the housing. An extendable arm is affixed to the rod, wherein the extendable arm is operably connected to the motor. Upon actuation of the motor, the extendable arm moves between an extended position and a retracted position. The device further includes an umbrella assembly having a central support, a plurality of ribs extending from the central support, and a canopy affixed over the plurality of ribs. The central support is pivotally affixed to a distal end of the extendable arm.
