Synthetic thatched umbrella

Abstract

A thatched umbrella, particularly, a weather resistant, synthetic thatched umbrella capable of being collapsed to a closed position. The thatching of the umbrella is constructed of synthetic fibers attached to an acrylic lining and the umbrella is capable of resisting a variety of weather conditions.

1 . A thatched umbrella, comprising: 
 a canopy wherein synthetic thatching is attached to an acrylic fabric lining in a layered pattern;    an umbrella pole; and    a frame composed of rib members, arm members and a hub member wherein the arm members connect the rib members to the hub member and the hub member slidably engages the umbrella pole to enable the canopy to open and close.    
   
   
       2 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the synthetic thatching is composed of acrylic and polypropylene material.  
   
   
       3 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 2 , wherein the synthetic thatching is solution dyed.  
   
   
       4 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the umbrella pole is made of aluminum reinforced fiberglass.  
   
   
       5 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the rib members and arm members are composed of fiberglass.  
   
   
       6 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the hub is composed of nylon.  
   
   
       7 . A synthetic, weather resistant, closeable thatched umbrella comprising: 
 a synthetic thatching attached to a fabric lined canopy;    an umbrella pole composed of fiberglass; and    a frame composed of rib members, arm members and a hub member; wherein the arm members connect the rib members to the hub member, the rib members attach the frame to the canopy and the hub member slidably engages the umbrella pole to enable the canopy to close.    
   
   
       8 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the synthetic thatching is composed of acrylic and polypropylene material.  
   
   
       9 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the synthetic thatching is solution dyed.  
   
   
       10 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the fabric lined canopy is composed of acrylic material.  
   
   
       11 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the synthetic thatching is attached to a fabric lining in a layered pattern.  
   
   
       12 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the umbrella pole is made of aluminum reinforced fiberglass.  
   
   
       13 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the rib members and arm members are composed of fiberglass.  
   
   
       14 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the hub is composed of nylon.  
   
   
       15 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the rib members attach the canopy to the frame by the canopy receiving a distal end of the rib members in a pocket structure.  
   
   
       16 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the umbrella is capable of withstanding winds in excess of eighty miles per hour.  
   
   
       17 . The thatched umbrella of  claim 7 , wherein the thatched umbrella is capable of withstanding a variety of weather conditions, including wind resistance and fade resistance.  
   
   
       18 . A weather resistant, closeable, synthetic, thatched umbrella comprising: 
 a synthetic thatching composed of polypropylene and acrylic materials attached to an acrylic fabric lined canopy in a layered pattern;    an umbrella pole composed of aluminum reinforced fiberglass; and    a frame composed of rib members, arm members and a hub member; wherein the rib members and arm members are composed of fiberglass, the hub member is composed of nylon, the arm members connect the rib members to the hub member, the rib members attach the frame to the canopy and the hub member slidably engages the umbrella pole to enable the canopy to close.
