Collapsible Hammock and Umbrella Assembly

Abstract

A collapsible hammock and umbrella assembly. The collapsible hammock and umbrella assembly has a hammock frame and an umbrella. The hammock frame includes a horizontal support, a pair of angled supports, a cross-brace, and a plurality of feet to provide a structure to which a hammock bed can be supported. The horizontal support and the pair of angled supports each further include a hinge at a midpoint thereof, and the cross-brace further includes a plurality of hinges, to enable the frame to fold and collapse into a storage configuration. A distal end of one of the pair of angled supports has an umbrella support ring which can receive a shaft of an umbrella to enable a user to removably secure the umbrella to the hammock frame.
