Wet umbrella carrier

An umbrella carrier comprising:

• a first umbrella carrier arm adapted to secure an umbrella handle and having a predetermined cross sectional shape and length and selected from the group consisting of a strap carrier arm (1A), a stem-like carrier arm (1B), a hinged latching device carrier arm (1C), a hollow sleeve carrier arm (1D);
• and
• said first umbrella carrier arm being attached by a movable joint to an elongated substantially vertically extending first mounting pole, said first mounting pole having a predetermined length and cross sectional shape and being of sufficient thickness and strength to stay attached to a moving vehicle, and
• said movable joint allowing a minimal pivotal movement of 90 degrees and adapted to allow said first umbrella carrier arm to sequentially be placed in a substantially vertical position and in a substantially horizontal position, and
• a second umbrella carrier arm adapted to secure a closed umbrella canopy and having a predetermined cross sectional shape and selected from the group consisting of a strap carrier arm (1A), a stem-like carrier arm (1B), a hinged latching device carrier arm (1C), a hollow sleeve carrier arm (1D);
• and
• said second umbrella carrier arm being attached to an elongated substantially vertically extending second mounting pole, said second mounting pole having a predetermined length and cross sectional shape and being of sufficient thickness and strength to withstand speeds up to 70 miles per hour against a closed umbrella secured to said second mounting pole, and
• each first and second mounting pole being fastened to a corresponding first and second vehicle window support clip portion, each first and second vehicle window support clip portion having a flat support surface adapted to engage the exterior surface of a vehicle window and a clip adapted to engage the interior surface of a vehicle window, and each flat support surface having a predetermined shape and sufficient area and thickness to support said first and second mounting pole, and each clip having a predetermined shape to fit over the top of and engage the interior surface of the vehicle window and sufficient strength to hold up each flat support surface fastened to said first and second mounting pole, and
• said first and second mounting pole being joined to one another by an elongated substantially horizontally extending mounting pole connecting bar, said mounting pole connecting bar having a predetermined cross sectional shape and length and sufficient thickness to stabilize said first and second mounting pole, and
• each predetermined length of said first and second mounting pole being adapted to make each umbrella carrier arm, when in a substantially horizontal position, to lie immediately above or near a top edge of a vehicle door window frame, whereby the umbrella carrier arms can secure a closed umbrella's handle and the closed umbrella's canopy in a substantially horizontal position immediately above or near a top edge of a vehicle door window frame with a tip of the closed umbrella pointing the same direction as said vehicle, thereby minimizing wind resistance and allowing said closed umbrella to be transported outside of said vehicle.

An umbrella carrier comprising:

• two umbrella carrier units comprising:
• an umbrella carrier arm having a predetermined cross sectional shape and length and selected from the group consisting of a strap carrier arm (1A), a stem-like carrier arm (1B), a hinged latching device carrier arm (1C), a hollow sleeve carrier arm (1D);
• and
• said umbrella carrier arm being attached by a movable joint to an elongated substantially vertically extending mounting pole, said mounting pole having a predetermined length and cross sectional shape and being of sufficient thickness and strength to stay attached to a moving vehicle, and
• said movable joint allowing a minimal pivotal movement of 90 degrees and adapted to allow said umbrella carrier arm to sequentially be placed in a substantially vertical position and in a substantially horizontal position, and
• said mounting pole being secured to an exterior vehicle temporary mounting means comprising suction cups, magnets, mounting brackets, vehicle window support clips, and combinations thereof, and
• said predetermined length of said mounting pole being adapted to make said umbrella carrier arm, when in a substantially horizontal position, to lie immediately above or near a top edge of a vehicle door window frame, whereby said umbrella carrier arm can secure a closed umbrella in a substantially horizontal position immediately above or near a top edge of a vehicle door window frame with a tip of the closed umbrella pointing the same direction as said vehicle, thereby minimizing wind resistance and allowing said closed umbrella to be transported outside of said vehicle
• wherein a first umbrella carrier unit secures an umbrella handle and a second umbrella carrier unit secures a closed umbrella canopy, and the two umbrella carrier units are joined together by an elongated substantially horizontally extending mounting pole connecting bar, said mounting pole connecting bar having a predetermined cross sectional shape and length and sufficient thickness to stabilize the two umbrella carrier units.
