Abstract

The present invention Universal extra shade tent structure to hand held umbrella refers to a shelter from a folding hand umbrella and a double version combination of separated additional tent sections that may be connected to the umbrella skeleton arms at several end points of the umbrella, when the umbrella is in open form. The first version of the separated additional tent section consists of several telescopic or other types of poles, soft light walls, and an underlay. The hard poles are joined to the umbrella skeleton arms by a sliding, or other type of connectors and connect to attach by the other end to natural soil, ground, grass, sand, or an underlay that provides fixation or to any outdoor beds, or to other objects for tent stability. When the shelter is in standing form, the lever handle of the umbrella can be removed by twisting off or otherwise removing from the structure, or minimized by sliding upward, or bending horizontally to the side into a compact position. The second version of additional tent sections is comprised of telescopic or other extensions to the umbrella hand lever to form a central supporting pole, several soft pulls, soft light walls, ground anchors, and an underlay. The standing form of the tent structure consists of a lever extension connected to the umbrella hand lever that reaches to the ground, and of soft pulls connected to the umbrella skeleton and at the other end are joined to ground, ground anchors, outdoor bed, an underlay, or to other objects or places, which help maintain the umbrella-tent structure in a vertical position. In both variations, the umbrella and the affixed tent poles or pulls combine to create the skeleton of a tent structure wherein portable side walls from flexible materials can be optionally affixed to the tent poles or pulls on one, two, three, four, or more sides to provide desired amounts of enclosure, shade, or protection from the elements, allowing the user to regulate the desired amount of structural enclosure. The variation of a Hand held umbrella to universal extra shade tent structure wherein the umbrella skeleton consists of three or more telescopic arm-pole combinations made from collapsible materials that can turn and come back to departure, wherein the telescopic pole is inside arms in the umbrella unfolding position, and outside arms, when telescopic poles support the tent structure in the unfolding umbrella-tent position, herewith soft walls and a soft umbrella roof can be separate or as one product, and walls slide-connected to telescopic arm-poles can partly or fully cover the unfolding umbrella-tent structure. The present invention has universal uses as a hand umbrella, beach umbrella, shelter, canopy, tent, and group hand held umbrella that give full or partial protection that can be carried by one or a few people.
