    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-4, an umbrella in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a shank 10, a fixed ring 11 mounted on the upper end of the shank 10, a movable ring 12 movably mounted on the shank 10, a base 15 mounted on the lower end of the shank 10, a plurality of mounting brackets 24 secured on the fixed ring 11 and the movable ring 12 respectively, a plurality of ribs 13 each detachably connected with a respective one of the mounting brackets 24 on the fixed ring 11, a plurality of spreaders 14 each detachably connected with a respective one of the mounting brackets 24 on the movable ring 12, and a plurality of locking mechanisms 2 each mounted in a respective one of the ribs 13 and the spreaders 14 and each detachably locked onto a respective one of the mounting brackets 24 to detachably lock each of the ribs 13 and the spreaders 14 onto the respective mounting bracket 24.
  • The fixed ring 11 has a periphery provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 110 to receive the mounting brackets 24 respectively.
  • The movable ring 12 has a periphery provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 120 to receive the mounting brackets 24 respectively.
  • Each of the mounting brackets 24 is secured in the respective receiving groove 110 of the fixed ring 11 and the respective receiving groove 120 of the movable ring 12 by a plurality of locking screws 25. Each of the mounting brackets 24 has a substantially U-shaped profile and has an opening directed toward the respective rib 13 and the respective spreader 14. Each of the mounting brackets 24 is provided with provided with at least one locking hole 240. Each of the mounting brackets 24 has an inner portion provided with a receiving chamber 241 connected to the locking hole 240 to receive a respective one of the ribs 13 and the spreaders 14.
  • Each of the ribs 13 is attached to the fixed ring 11 by the respective mounting bracket 24. Each of the ribs 13 is pivotally connected with the respective mounting bracket 24 on the fixed ring 11. Each of the ribs 13 is pivotally connected with a respective one of the spreaders 14.
  • Each of the spreaders 14 is attached to the movable ring 12 by the respective mounting bracket 24. Each of the spreaders 14 is pivotally connected with the respective mounting bracket 24 on the movable ring 12. Each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 is provided with a receiving chamber 140 to receive a respective one of the locking mechanisms 2.
  • Each of the locking mechanisms 2 includes at least one locking stub 21 movably mounted in the receiving chamber 140 of the respective spreader 14 and the respective rib 13 and detachably locked in the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24 to detachably lock the respective spreader 14 and the respective rib 13 onto the respective mounting bracket 24, and at least one elastic member 22 mounted in the receiving chamber 140 of the respective spreader 14 and the respective rib 13 and pressing the locking stub 21 to push the locking stub 21 outwardly from the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24. Each of the locking mechanisms 2 further includes at least one housing 20 secured in the receiving chamber 140 of the respective spreader 14 and the respective rib 13 to receive the locking stub 21 and the elastic member 22, and at least one fixing plate 23 secured in the housing 20 and abutting the elastic member 22. The locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 functions as a pivot fulcrum of each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 relative to the respective mounting bracket 24. The locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 has a first end provided with an enlarged limit plate 212 movably mounted in the housing 20 and movable to abut a peripheral wall of the housing 20 to limit the locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 on the housing 20. The locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 has a second end provided with an arcuate guide portion 210 to guide movement of the locking stub 21 in the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24. The elastic member 22 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 is biased between the fixing plate 23 and the limit plate 212 of the locking stub 21.
  • In operation, referring to FIGS. 5-7 with reference to FIGS. 1-4, when the locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 is pressed to retract into the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24, the arcuate guide portion 210 of the locking stub 21 is moved to abut the inner wall of the respective mounting bracket 24, so that the locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 is unlocked from the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24, and each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 is unlocked from the respective mounting bracket 24. Thus, when each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 is pulled outwardly relative to the respective mounting bracket 24, the locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2 is detached from the locking hole 240 of the respective mounting bracket 24 by guidance of the arcuate guide portion 210 of the locking stub 21 and is retracted into and moved in the receiving chamber 241 of the respective mounting bracket 24, so that each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 can be moved outwardly and removed from the respective mounting bracket 24.
  • Accordingly, each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 can be detached from the respective mounting bracket 24, so that each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 can be removed for replacement, thereby enhancing the lifetime of the umbrella. In addition, each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 can be mounted on and detached from the respective mounting bracket 24 by operation of the locking stub 21 of each of the locking mechanisms 2, so that each of the spreaders 14 and the ribs 13 of the umbrella is assembled and disassembled easily and quickly.
  • Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the true scope of the invention.
