Abstract
It is an integrated pole unit that is connected to a patio umbrella canopy that allows it to be raised by a pump (foot, hand or low psi) and lowered by releasing air via an air pressure valve. The external umbrella pole is hollow with a slit at the top and contains an "internal pole mechanism" with a metal insert attached to the base of the canopy and moves up the slit with increased air pressure in the pole raising the umbrella canopy.
There is an air pressure valve that, when closed, keeps the umbrella canopy in the full open position, when open, releases the air, resulting in the umbrella canopy closing automatically in a slow and controlled manner.

Description
Patent Application: Patio Umbrella with Air Pump C. SPECIFICATION
This invention relates to any function that raises and lowers umbrella canopies.
Common mechanisms that are used to raise and lower umbrella canopies include the push, crank and rope methods. The "push" method uses manual power with a person literally pushing up the umbrella canopy up until it locks into place. The "rope" method requires that an individual pull on a rope that is attached to the canopy causing it to open and then locking it into place with a pin. The "crank" method uses a mechanism that is attached mid way up the umbrella pole and when turned either raises or lowers the umbrella canopy depending on the direction it is turned. Although these are all effective methods of raising, and lowering an umbrella canopy, they are cumbersome for the person completing the task as these methods often require standing, leaning over the patio table, significant arm strength and a person of good height to easily secure the umbrella in place.
This can be difficult for individuals with ailments, such as arthritis, or people with little upper body strength or the disabled. Repairs on these systems are also inconvenient.
The disadvantages of the other methods have been overcome with the invention of the patio umbrella with manual air pump. It raises and lowers any patio umbrella easily with the use of either a foot or a hand pump or a low psi compressor. This is a versatile system that can be utilized by anyone with use of their hands or feet and can be completed in either a sitting or standing position. The canopy automatically locks into place when the air pressure relief valve is closed, so individuals do not need to reach or stretch to lock the canopy in place. As long as a person can close and open the air pressure valve they will be able to utilize this umbrella. It also minimizes maintenance issues as there are minimal moving parts and all parts comprise an integrated unit that will function as long as it is regularly lubricated.
Patent Application: Patio Umbrella with Air Pump Description Patio Umbrella with Air Pump The technical field related to this invention is mechanical engineering. This product will allow a person to raise a patio umbrella through the use of an air pump and lower the umbrella by releasing the air via a valve; therefore, making a laborious task easier. Others have tried to modify the process of opening and closing large umbrellas;
however, previous efforts have proven to be too complicated in design which detracts from their function.

Patent Application: Patio Umbrella with Air Pump Definition:
"internal pole mechanism" - this refers to all the parts that make up the internal pole which include, but are not limited to, Figures 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10.
A detailed description of the invention is as follows:
This patio umbrella pole is an integrated unit that allows for a person to easily, and effortlessly, raise and lower a patio umbrella with the use of an air pump (hand, foot or low psi compressor).
The final product is assembled by modifying Figure 1 the hollow umbrella pole to incorporate the requirements of Figure 2.
Manufacture all elements of the "internal pole mechanism" by completing the details outlined in Figures 4, 5 and 7. Insert completed pole into Figure 1 until the plug for metal insert indicated in Figure 5 is observable at the bottom of the slit shown in Figure 2. Install the metal insert indicated in Figure 6. After the above steps are complete, attach Figure 8 and connect Figure 9 and create an air tight seal. Connect Figure 11 to the tubing which will allow control of the air pressure and lower the canopy.
To raise the patio umbrella canopy, connect the manual foot pump, or any kind of low pressure pump to Figure 9. The pump is operated to pump air into the pole to lift the umbrella canopy. It does not take that much pressure to lift the umbrella canopy. The canopy will stay up until the air pressure is released via the valve shown in Figure 11 on the hollow tubing (Figure 9) which lowers the air pressure, causing the "internal pole mechanism" to fall and result in the umbrella canopy lowering. The canopy will fall with the metal insert outlined in Figure 6 and push the internal pole mechanism down to the lower half of the umbrella pole (Figure 1). The canopy lowers slowly and the speed of the fall can be controlled by the air valve (Figure 11) on hollow tubing shown in Figure 9.
The umbrella canopy is now in the closed position.
Patent Application: Patio Umbrella with Air Pump Figure 10 is used for maintenance to lubricate the interior of the umbrella pole when the canopy is in the full raised position.
Optional items include Figures 3, 12 and 13 which can be used if required.
