Umbrella with lazy tong structure

An umbrella comprising

• a lazy tong structure having struts interconnected at intermediate and end points and said struts forming said lazy tong structure;
• handle means connected to said lazy tong structure and including a handle at its lower end;
• a support arm pivotally connected to said handle means at the upper end of said handle means and with the opposite end of said support arm connected to said lazy tong structure;
• and a canopy attached to said lazy tong structure and draped over the end of said handle means pivotally connected to said support arm;
• said handle means further including
• a first arm pivotally connected at its upper end to said support arm,
• a first slide connected to said handle on one end of said slide and slidable relative to said first arm for at least a portion of the other end of said first slide,
• and a second slide slidable relative to said first arm and pivotally connected to said first slide.

• said handle means further including
• a first arm substantially U shaped with the open end of the U along an edge of said first arm and with said support arm pivotally connected at one end of said first arm,
• a first slide connected to said handle at one end of said first slide and having the other end of said first slide insertable slidingly in said first arm,
• a second slide pivotably connected to said first slide and slidably mounted in said first arm,
• a first block firmly attached to an end of said first arm opposite from the end to which said support arm is pivotally attached,
• a second block slidably mounted on said first arm,
• said lazy tong structure being a continuous structure of connected struts forming a substantially circular structure of connecting crossed struts connected at their ends to adjacent pairs of crossed struts,
• said lazy tong structure connected on one side of its periphery to the end of said supporting arm, and connected on the opposite side of its periphery to said second block and to said first arm between said first and seond blocks.
