Solar powered umbrella

Abstract

A solar powered umbrella is disclosed for powering multiple components such as an automatic anchoring device, LED lights, a speaker and/or audio system and bug repeller and/or thermoelectric heating/cooling device. The umbrella includes a canopy, an auger, a solar panel or cell, a momentary 3-way/function toggle switch, and a charging and power socket. The auger is used to anchor the device into and out malleable surfaces such as earth, dirt, grass, etc. The umbrella also includes rechargeable batteries, an electric motor and a gearbox. The shaft from the gearbox protrudes thru and outside the housing of the bottom of the lower tubular member which adapts/connects to the helix/auger. When a waterproof 3-function toggle switch is pushed downward, the helix is driven into the ground and visa-versa. Additional methods of charging consist of an AC and/or DC adapter.

1 . A solar powered automatic umbrella comprising: 
 a telescoping pole having a upper and lower member;    a canopy attached to the upper member of said pole;    a rechargeable power source;    at least one solar cell attached to said canopy to recharge the power source;    an auger attached to the lower member of said pole;    accessories and electric motor powered by the rechargeable power source; and    a switch mounted to an exterior of said pole to manipulate said auger.
