Description
- This application is closely related to and claims benefit from U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/684,758 filed May 26, 2005.
- The present invention relates, in general, to an umbrella, and, more particularly, the present invention relates to an umbrella which is rectangular that is designed for furnishing protection for two persons.
- People of all ages enjoy going for walks, sporting events, outdoor concerts and a variety of other events taking place outdoors. Unfortunately, there is no predicting what the weather will be like for activities that are scheduled well in advance. Thus, many of outdoor events take place during inclement weather. Rain, snow, sleet and even harsh sunshine can make these outdoor activities uncomfortable and many times even unpleasant.
- To provide for these eventualities people are forced to carry at least two umbrellas and many times even more to provide cover for the family. This can completely bog down the family members who carry them. Those who may be forced to share one umbrella are generally squashed together under the umbrella. This can be uncomfortable for both parties and often exposes at least one of them, if not both, to the elements.
- Thus, it would be advantageous if there were an umbrella which could be shared by two persons and still be comfortable and protected under the umbrella.
- In a first aspect the present invention provides an apparatus for providing protection for two people from rain, snow, sleet and harsh sunlight. The apparatus comprises a shaft member having an upper end and a lower end and having a rib connector disposed on the shaft member closely adjacent an upper end thereof. A transfer sleeve is mounted on the shaft member for reciprocal movement along the shaft member for opening and closing the apparatus. There is a cover portion that is engageable with the rib connector and extending outwardly therefrom. The cover portion has a substantially rectangular shape and is formed from a predetermined material. Such predetermined material being a durable, lightweight material sufficiently strong to repel rain, snow and sleet. There is a rib structure for connection with the rib connector, the cover portion and the transfer sleeve. A tubular sleeve is mounted on the upper end of the shaft member intermediate the rib connector and the transfer sleeve and a handle member is disposed on a bottom portion of the shaft member.
- It is, therefore, one of the primary objects of the present invention to provide an umbrella which can be shared by two people.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella which is rectangular and has a pyramid shape.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide an umbrella which has an adapter that can attach to the handle so the umbrella can be attached to a predetermined object.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella which can be attached to a stadium bench or the back of a chair so the umbrella can be used as a hands free umbrella.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide an umbrella wherein the shaft is telescoping so it can be raised to a higher height when attached to a bench or chair.
- These and various other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent after a full reading of the following detailed description, particularly, when read in conjunction with the attached drawings as described below and the appended claims.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the apparatus according to an embodiment of the invention showing the pyramid shape of the open umbrella with a rectangular bottom. -
