Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides an umbrella that can be shared by two people. It is rectangular and has a pyramid shape. It has an adapter that can attach to a handle, allowing it to be attached to a predetermined object. It can also be attached to a stadium bench or the back of a chair, providing hands-free use. The shaft is telescoping, allowing it to be raised to a higher height when attached to a bench or chair. These and other technical effects make the invention convenient and useful in various situations."

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, there is no predicting what the weather will be like for activities that are scheduled well in advance.
Rain, snow, sleet and even harsh sunshine can make these outdoor activities uncomfortable and many times even unpleasant.
This can completely bog down the family members who carry them.
This can be uncomfortable for both parties and often exposes at least one of them, if not both, to the elements.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] Prior to proceeding with the more detailed description of the present invention it should be noted that, for the sake of clarity, identical components which have identical functions have been designated by identical reference numerals throughout the several views illustrated in the drawings.

[0018] The present invention provides an apparatus, generally designated 10, for providing protection for two people from rain, snow, sleet and harsh sunlight. The apparatus 10 comprises a shaft member 2 having an upper end and a lower end and having a rib connector 3 disposed on the shaft member 2 closely adjacent an upper end thereof. A transfer sleeve, generally designated 20, is mounted on the shaft member 2 for reciprocal movement along the shaft member 2 for opening and closing the apparatus. There is a cover portion 6 that is engageable with the rib connector 3 and extending outwardly therefrom. The cover portion 3 has a substantially rectangular shape and is formed from a predeter...

Abstract

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.
