Inverted Umbrella with Integrated Carrying Case

Abstract

An inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case includes a tubular handle, a runner, a track, a plurality of stretchers, a canopy, and a spring-loaded locking mechanism. The runner is slidably engaged within the tubular handle by the spring-loaded looking mechanism and the track from a bottom surface and a lateral surface of the runner, respectively. The plurality of stretchers is radially and foldably connected to a top surface of the runner. The canopy is radially connected to the plurality of stretchers so that the plurality of stretchers and the canopy can be reciprocally move in between an opened configuration that radially positions the canopy and the plurality of stretchers around the tubular handle and a closed configuration that folds the canopy and the plurality of stretchers within the tubular handle.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case comprises:
 a tubular handle;   a runner;   a track;   a plurality of stretchers;   a canopy;   a spring-loaded locking mechanism;   a spring mount of the runner being slidably engaged within the tubular handle by the spring-loaded locking mechanism and the track;   the plurality of stretchers being radially and foldably connected to a hub of the runner; and   the canopy being radially connected to the plurality of stretchers, wherein the plurality of stretchers and the canopy reciprocally moves in between an opened configuration and a closed configuration.   
     
     
         2 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the spring mount and the hub being concentrically positioned with each other; and 
 the spring mount and the hub being adjacently connected to each other. 
 
     
     
         3 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the track comprises an alignment channel and an alignment rail; 
 the alignment channel traverses into the tubular handle from an internal surface of the tubular handle; 
 the alignment channel being extended from an opened end of tubular handle to a closed end of the tubular handle; 
 the alignment rail being adjacently connected to a lateral surface of the spring mount; 
 the alignment rail being extended from a bottom surface of the spring mount to an upper surface of the spring mount; and 
 the alignment rail being slidably engaged with the alignment channel. 
 
     
     
         4 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a grip; 
 the grip being adjacently positioned to a closed end of the tubular handle; and 
 the grip being laterally connected to an external surface of the tubular handle. 
 
     
     
         5 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 each of the plurality of stretchers comprises a proximal section, an intermediary section, and a distal section; 
 the proximal section being terminally connected to the hub; 
 the intermediary section being terminally connected to the proximal section, opposite of the hub; and 
 the distal section being terminally connected to the intermediary section, opposite of the proximal section. 
 
     
     
         6 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the spring-loaded locking mechanism comprises a compression spring, a lock release button, and a pull cord; 
 the compression spring being terminally connected a closed end of the tubular handle and a bottom surface of the spring mount; 
 the lock release button being flexibly connected to a lateral surface of the spring mount; 
 the pull cord being concentrically positioned within the compression spring and traverses through the closed end; 
 a first end of the pull cord being adjacently connected to the bottom surface of the spring mount; and 
 a second end of the pull cord being positioned external to the closed end. 
 
     
     
         7 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a device holder; 
 the device holder being adjacently positioned to a closed end of the tubular handle; and 
 the device holder being laterally mounted to an external surface of the tubular handle. 
 
     
     
         8 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the opened configuration; 
 a stop ring; 
 the stop ring being terminally positioned to an opened end of the tubular handle; 
 the stop ring being laterally connected to an internal surface of the tubular handle; 
 an upper surface of the spring mount being perimetrically engaged with the stop ring; 
 the hub being positioned adjacent to the opened end of the tubular handle; and 
 the plurality of stretchers and the canopy being radially positioned around the opened end of the tubular handle. 
 
     
     
         9 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 8  comprises:
 a cap; 
 the cap being externally tethered to the opened end of the tubular handle; and 
 the cap being adjacently positioned to the opened end of the tubular handle. 
 
     
     
         10 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the closed configuration; 
 a lateral opening; 
 the lateral opening being adjacently positioned to a closed end of the tubular handle; 
 the lateral opening traverses through the tubular handle; 
 the spring mount being engaged with the lateral opening by a lock release button of the spring-loaded locking mechanism; 
 the spring mount being positioned adjacent to the closed end of the tubular handle; and 
 the plurality of stretchers and the canopy being foldably positioned within the tubular handle. 
 
     
     
         11 . The inverted umbrella with an integrated carrying case as claimed in  claim 10  comprises:
 a cap; 
 the cap being externally tethered to the opened end of the tubular handle; and 
 the cap being perimetrically attached around the opened end of the tubular handle.
