Abstract

A cantilevered umbrella having a base, a mast, a cantilevered arm, a canopy, and a rotation system. The mast has a first end connectable to the base and a second end. The cantilevered arm has a first portion pivotally connected to the second end of the mast and a second portion rotatably connected to the first portion. The canopy is connected to the cantilevered arm and has a covering and a frame. The frame is moveable between an inflated position and a deflated position. The rotation system includes a handle, a first pulley operable by the handle, a second pulley connectable to the second portion of the cantilevered arm, and a cable connecting the first pulley to the second pulley. Rotation of the handle rotates the second portion of the cantilevered arm with respect to the first portion of the cantilevered arm.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cantilevered umbrella, comprising:
 a base;   a mast having a first end connectable to the base and a second end;   a cantilevered arm having a first portion pivotally connected to the second end of the mast and a second portion rotatably connected to the first portion;   a canopy connectable to the cantilevered arm and having a covering and a frame, wherein the frame is moveable between an inflated position and a deflated position; and   a rotation system having a handle, a first pulley operable by the handle, a second pulley connectable to the second portion of the cantilevered arm, and a cable connecting the first pulley to the second pulley, wherein rotation of the handle rotates the second portion of the cantilevered arm with respect to the first portion of the cantilevered arm.   
     
     
         2 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a cover at least partially surrounding the rotation system to protect the rotation system from contaminants.   
     
     
         3 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the first pulley is smaller than the second pulley. 
     
     
         4 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the cable is a chain. 
     
     
         5 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 1 , wherein the cable is a flexible belt. 
     
     
         6 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 2 , wherein the first pulley is smaller than the second pulley. 
     
     
         7 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 6 , wherein the cable is a chain. 
     
     
         8 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 6 , wherein the cable is a flexible belt. 
     
     
         9 . A cantilevered umbrella, comprising:
 a base;   a mast having a first portion connectable to the base and a second portion rotatable with respect to the first portion;   a cantilevered arm pivotally connected to the mast;   a canopy connectable to the cantilevered arm and having a covering and a frame, wherein the frame is moveable between an inflated position and a deflated position; and   a rotation system having a handle, a first gear connectable to the handle, and a second gear connectable to the second portion of the mast, wherein rotation of the handle rotates the second portion of the mast with respect to the first portion of the mast.   
     
     
         10 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 9 , wherein the first gear and the second gear interlock one another. 
     
     
         11 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 9 , wherein the first gear is smaller than the second gear. 
     
     
         12 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 9 , wherein the first gear is protected by a first cover. 
     
     
         13 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 9 , wherein the second gear is protected by a second cover. 
     
     
         14 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 13 , wherein the second cover is connected to the second portion of the mast. 
     
     
         15 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 10 , wherein the first gear is smaller than the second gear. 
     
     
         16 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 15 , wherein the first gear is protected by a first cover. 
     
     
         17 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 16 , wherein the second gear is protected by a second cover. 
     
     
         18 . The cantilevered umbrella of  claim 17 , wherein the second cover is connected to the second portion of the mast.
