Abstract
An umbrella includes (a) a rod assembly including a plurality of rods; (b) a canopy connected to the rod assembly and movable between an open position in which the canopy is deployed and a closed position in which the canopy is retracted; (c) a stationary handgrip connected to the rod assembly for grasping the umbrella; (d) a trigger assembly that is releasably connected to at least one rod of the rod assembly, wherein, upon actuation of the trigger assembly, the trigger releases the at least one rod of the rod assembly which deploys and causes the canopy to move from the closed position to the open position; and (e) a handle movable with respect to the handgrip and connected to the rod assembly, the handle being translatable to move the canopy from the open position to the closed position.
Claims19
An umbrella comprising:
- a rod assembly including a plurality of rods;
- a canopy connected to the rod assembly and movable between an open position in which the canopy is deployed and a closed position in which the canopy is retracted;
- a stationary handgrip for grasping the umbrella, the handgrip being connected to said rod assembly;
- a ring assembly that is releasably connected to at least one rod of the rod assembly, wherein, upon actuation of a hook of the ring assembly, the hook releases said at least one rod which causes the canopy to move from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- a handle movable with respect to said handgrip and connected to said rod assembly, the handle being translatable from a retracted position to an extended position to move the canopy from the open position to the closed position;
- and
- a compression spring that is positioned to deploy said at least one rod of the rod assembly, which moves the canopy from the closed position to the open position upon activation of the trigger assembly.

An umbrella comprising:
- a rod assembly including a plurality of rods;
- a canopy connected to the rod assembly and movable between an open position in which the canopy is deployed and a closed position in which the canopy is retracted;
- a stationary handgrip for grasping the umbrella, the handgrip being connected to said rod assembly;
- a ring assembly that is releasably connected to at least one rod of the rod assembly, wherein, upon actuation of a hook of the ring assembly, the hook releases said at least one rod which causes the canopy to move from the closed position to the open position;
- and
- a handle movable with respect to said handgrip and connected to said rod assembly, the handle being translatable from a retracted position to an extended position to move the canopy from the open position to the closed position,
- wherein the ring assembly is translatable in a vertical direction with respect to at least one rod of the rod assembly as the canopy moves from the open position to the closed position.
An umbrella comprising:
- a rod assembly including a plurality of rods;
- a canopy connected to the rod assembly and movable between an open position in which the canopy is deployed and a closed position in which the canopy is retracted;
- a stationary handgrip for grasping the umbrella, said handgrip being connected to said rod assembly;
- a compression spring that is located within the handgrip and is biased to deploy at least one rod of the rod assembly and move the canopy toward the open position;
- a ring assembly that is releasably connected to said at least one rod of the rod assembly, wherein, upon actuation of a hook of the ring assembly, the hook releases said at least one rod of the rod assembly which deploys and causes the canopy to move from the closed position to the open position;
- a handle movable with respect to said handgrip and connected to said rod assembly, the handle being translatable from a retracted position to an extended position to move the canopy from the open position to the closed position;
- and
- a tension spring that is positioned to move the handle from the extended position back to the retracted position after the canopy is closed.
