Pole caddy

Abstract

A pole caddy ( 10 ) has a planar table portion ( 12 ), a shaft-engaging portion in the form of a tubular projection ( 32 ) and a lateral surround ( 14 ) orthogonal to the planar portion ( 12 ), the lateral surround ( 14 ) including an indicia display area ( 15 ).

1 . A pole caddy comprising:
 a planar table portion;   a shaft engaging portion; and   a lateral surround orthogonal to the planar portion, the lateral surround including an indicia display area, said indicia display area being large enough to display illustrations of mascots or other logos.   
   
   
       2 . The pole caddy of  claim 1  wherein the planar table portion has a given width and the lateral surround has a height equal to 0.18 to 0.215 times the given width. 
   
   
       3 . The pole caddy of  claim 1  wherein the planar table portion includes an upper surface and a bottom surface and the upper surface is provided with a plurality of pockets. 
   
   
       4 . The pole caddy of  claim 3  wherein the plurality of pockets comprise at least two configurations. 
   
   
       5 . A kit comprising:
 a pole caddy comprising a planar table portion provided with a lateral surround orthogonal to the planar portion, the lateral surround including an indicia display area, said indicia display area being large enough to display illustrations of mascots or other logos; and   a mount for mounting the pole caddy upon an elongated shaft.   
   
   
       6 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein the mount comprises;
 a tubular projection formed with a bottom surface of the planar portion;   a pole caddy support having a central opening to receive the shaft and an annular receptor to receive the tubular projection;   a plurality of feet formed on a bottom of the annular receptor to support the tubular projection; and   an engager for fixing and releasing the pole caddy support to the elongated shaft.   
   
   
       7 . The kit of  claim 5  wherein said kit includes an umbrella having an expandable canopy and an elongated shaft; 
   
   
       8 . The kit of  claim 6  wherein at least one secondary bushing is provided, the bushing being formed to fit inside the central opening of the pole caddy support. 
   
   
       9 . The pole caddy of  claim 3  wherein at least one of said pockets has a depressed channel leading from the interior of a pocket to the lateral surround.
