In a variation, the anchor member and hand wheel are connected to opposite ends of an elongated tubular leg to form a free-standing drink holder.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to beach umbrella anchoring devices and more particularly to a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Devices which serve the dual function of outdoor table and beach umbrella holder are well known in the prior art. These devices are designed to provide a table for outdoor use that can be supported on uneven surfaces and in addition support a beach umbrella. For example, the U.S. Pat. No. 4,920,897 issued May 1, 1990 to Reed et al teaches a beach and lawn table with umbrella holder. The table of Reed et al. has a hollow leg with a leg cap permanently bonded the upper end of the leg and a flanged table base permanently bonded to the lower end of the leg. An auger in the form of a steel rod with helical turns and a sharpened lower end is welded to a steel plate secured to the table base by pop rivets. The tabletop of the Reed et al. includes square axially disposed flange sized to fit over a lug on the leg cap. The tabletop is additionally used as a wrench to screw the auger into the ground. Reed et al. also shows that the hollow table leg is adapted to receive and secure the handle of a beach umbrella or other accessory.
- U.S. Patent No. Des. 366,372 issued Jan. 23, 1996 to Skarda, Jr. shows a ground inserted two-piece beach table design. The table includes a hollow table leg having an auger formed at the lower end of the table leg. The table top includes a circular axially disposed flange for receiving the table leg and an opening permitting the insertion of a beach umbrella handle into the hollow table leg. The tabletop includes radial ribs and drain holes in a manner similar to the teachings of Reed et al. but additionally designed with a smooth surface for the tabletop and recesses that appear to support glasses and drink containers.
- In U.S. Patent No. Des. 388,974 issued Jan. 13, 1998 to Piker an umbrella table designed with a hollow leg for receiving the handle of a beach umbrella is shown with a downwardly extending table skirt.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The present invention is a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly consisting of a hand wheel with cooperating drink retaining cups and an anchor member. Means are provided for securing the hand wheel and anchor member to the handle of a beach umbrella. The hand wheel is rotated to drive a spike and the helical thread on the anchor member into sand or loose soil to securely anchor the beach umbrella in place in an upright vertical position. Retaining rings connect a radial flange on the tubular hub of the hand wheel to the rim of the hand wheel. The retaining rings of the hand wheel cooperate with radially extending flanges or lips on drink retaining cups to retain the drink retaining cups on the hand wheel conveniently around the handle of the beach umbrella.
- In a variation of the invention, the anchor member and hand wheel are connected to opposite ends of an elongated tubular leg to form a free-standing drink holder adapted for removably receiving the handle of a beach umbrella.
- Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holding assembly, which securely anchors the umbrella in sand or loose soil and forms an upright stand for holding drinks around the handle of the umbrella.
- It is another object of the invention to provide a freestanding drink holder that may be driven into sand or loose soil that is adapted for removably receiving the handle of a beach umbrella.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view of a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the assembly according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of an alternative embodiment of the beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the alternative embodiment according to the present invention.
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a drink-retaining cup according to the present invention.
- Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
- The invention is a beach umbrella anchoring and drink holder assembly. The assembly, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, is made up of a
hand wheel 30 with co-operatingdrink retaining cups 36 and ananchor member 40, which can be rotatably driven into sand or loose soil. Structure is provided for securing thehand wheel 30 andanchor member 40 to thehandle 21 of abeach umbrella 20. - As FIG. 2 shows, the hand wheel includes a
tubular hub 31 with aradial flange 32 around the middle of thehub 31. A plurality of retainingrings 34 connects theradial flange 32 on thetubular hub 31 to the rim orouter ring 33 of thehand wheel 30. Theretaining rings 34 of thehand wheel 30 are sized to engage the radially extendinglip 37 of adrink retaining cup 36 set into the openings defined by theretaining rings 34. - The
anchor member 40 includes atubular receptacle 41 sized to receive an end of anumbrella handle 21. The closed bottom of thereceptacle 41 is attached to aspike 42 and the lower exterior surface of thereceptacle 41 is provided with a broad helical thread. The lower end of the receptacle thereby functions as an auger for driving theanchor member 40 into the sand or loose soil. - To set up the drink holder, the end portion of the
handle 21 of a beach umbrella is passed through thetubular hub 31 and into thetubular receptacle 41 of theanchor member 40. Theanchor member 40 is secured to the bottom of thehandle 21 of theumbrella 20 bysetscrews 44 passing through the cylindrical wall of thereceptacle 41. Thehand wheel 30 is adjustably positioned along thehandle 21 and secured at a selected location bysetscrews 35 passing through the cylindrical wall of thetubular hub 31. - The
hand wheel 30 is rotated to drive the anchor member into the sand or soil and firmly anchor theumbrella 20 in an upright position. Theretaining cups 36 are then placed in the openings defined by theretaining rings 34 of thehand wheel 30 for holding drinks conveniently around thehandle 21 of theumbrella 20. It is to be understood that the retaining cups and retaining rings can be constructed to accommodate variously sized beverage containers. - FIGS. 3 and 4 show a variation of the present invention. The hand wheel and anchor member integrally formed and connected by an elongated
hollow leg 45.Hollow leg 45 has an openupper end 46 and a closed bottom end that is pointed to define a ground-engaging spike 42. The lower exterior surface of thehollow leg 45 adjacent thespike 42 is provided with a broadhelical thread 43. The lower end of thehollow leg 45 functions as an auger for driving and anchoring the spiked lower end of thehollow leg 45 in sand or loose soil. A hand wheel in the form of a radially extending flange is secured to thehollow leg 45 adjacent the openupper end 46. - The hand wheel includes a radial array of
circular cutouts 48 for receiving the retaining cups 36 once the device has been securely anchored. The wheel is rotated to drive the spiked lower end of thehollow leg 45 and helical thread into sand or soil to anchor thehollow leg 45. Retainingcups 36 are set into thecircular cutouts 48 of the hand wheel to form a freestanding drink holder. The open end of thehollow leg 45 is sized to allow the handles of variously sized beach umbrellas to be removably received and supported in thehollow leg 45 of the drink holder. The umbrella handle 21 is secured within thehollow leg 45 by a pair ofopposed setscrews 35. - It is to be understood that the retaining rings34,
circular cutouts 48 and retainer cups can be modified to hold variously sized drink containers. - It is also to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
