Abstract
A cantilevered umbrella includes a base, a mast, a cantilevered arm, a canopy, and an air shock system. The mast has a first end and a second end. The first end of the mast is connected to the base. The cantilevered arm has a first end and a second end. The first end of the cantilevered arm is pivotally connected to the second end of the mast. The canopy is connected to the cantilevered arm and has a covering and a frame. The frame is moveable between an inflated position and a deflated position. The air shock system has at least two gas springs and is at least partially deposed within the frame of the canopy. The gas springs assist with moving the frame of the canopy between the inflated and deflated position.

A cantilevered umbrella, comprising:
- a base;
- a mast having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the mast is connectable to the base;
- a cantilevered arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the cantilevered arm is pivotally connected to the second end of the mast;
- a canopy connectable to the cantilevered arm and having a covering and a frame, wherein the frame is moveable between an inflated position and a deflated position;
- and
- an air shock system having at least two gas springs and at least partially deposed within the frame of the canopy, wherein the gas springs assists with moving the frame of the canopy between the inflated position and the deflated position.
A cantilevered umbrella, comprising:
- a base;
- a mast having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the mast is connectable to the base;
- a cantilevered arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the cantilevered arm is pivotally connected to the second end of the mast and moveable between a raised position and a lowered position;
- a canopy connectable to the cantilevered arm and having a covering and a frame, wherein the frame having an inflated position and a deflated position;
- and
- an air shock system having at least two gas springs and at least partially deposed within the cantilevered arm and the frame of the canopy, wherein at least a first gas spring from the at least two gas springs assists with moving the cantilevered arm between the raised position and the lowered position and a second gas spring from the at least two gas springs assists with moving the frame of the canopy between the inflated position and the deflated position.

- a cantilevered arm having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the cantilevered arm is pivotally connected to the second end of the mast and moveable between a raised position and a lowered position;
- a canopy connectable to the cantilevered arm and having a covering and a frame, wherein the frame having an inflated position and a deflated position;
- and
- an air shock system having three gas springs and deposed within the mast, the cantilevered arm, and the frame of the canopy, wherein at least a first gas spring from the three gas springs assists with moving the cantilevered arm between the raised position and the lowered position and a second gas spring from the at least three gas springs assists with moving the frame of the canopy between the inflated position and the deflated position.
