 said handle extends from a front side of said outer perimeter of the umbrella.    
   
   
       4 . An umbrella according to  claim 1 , further comprising 
 a shoulder support extending from one of said plurality of support members.    
   
   
       5 . An umbrella according to  claim 4 , wherein 
 said shoulder support includes a main portion coupled to one of said plurality of support members and first and second straps coupled to another one of said plurality of support members.    
   
   
       6 . An umbrella according to  claim 1  wherein 
 said handle pivots with respect to said one of said plurality of support members about a pivot point.    
   
   
       7 . An umbrella according to  claim 1 , further comprising 
 a second pivot assembly located opposite said first pivot assembly, and coupled to each of said support members.    
   
   
       8 . An umbrella according to  claim 1  wherein 
 a canopy is supported by said plurality of support members; and    a front extension of said canopy extends lower than a horizontal, extending coverage of said canopy.    
   
   
       9 . An umbrella according to  claim 1  wherein 
 a canopy is supported by said plurality of support members; and    a back extension of said canopy extends lower than a horizontal extending coverage of said canopy.    
   
   
       10 . An umbrella according to  claim 1  wherein 
 said handle is disposed opposite said first pivot assembly, and axially aligned with said first pivot assembly.    
   
   
       11 . An umbrella according to  claim 1  wherein 
 said handle is mounted to said first pivot assembly.    
   
   
       12 . An umbrella, comprising of: 
 first and second pivot assemblies;    a plurality of support rods extending from said first and second pivot assemblies and defining an outer perimeter of the umbrella, and said plurality of support rods being pivotable with respect to said first and second pivot assemblies between open and collapsed positions;    a canopy supported by said plurality of support rods.    
   
   
       13 . An umbrella according to  claim 12  further comprising 
 a handle that extends from one of said plurality of support rods along said outer perimeter and offset from a center of the umbrella.    
   
   
       14 . An umbrella according to  claim 13  wherein 
 said handle pivots with respect to said one of said plurality of support rods about a pivot point.    
   
   
       15 . An umbrella according to  claim 13  wherein 
 said handle is disposed opposite said first pivot assembly, and aligned with said first pivot assembly.    
   
   
       16 . An umbrella according to  claim 12 , further comprising 
 each of said first and second pivot assemblies being spring loaded.    
   
   
       17 . An umbrella according to  claim 12  further comprising
