An adjustable mount and handle to support an umbrella onto a tube is disclosed. The present invention permits a user attach the umbrella to a tube or post and quickly and easily adjust the angle at any time. Thus, an individual can be shaded by the umbrella without having to manually hold the umbrella themselves.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An umbrella mount comprising:
 a first clamp arm;   a second clamp arm pivotally coupled to the first clamp arm about a first axis, the second clamp arm defining at least one clamp arm hole, and the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm being configured to compressibly couple to a post;   a swivel plate pivotally coupled to the second clamp arm about a second axis, the swivel plate defining a plurality of swivel plate holes along a perimeter thereof; and   a handle post integral with the swivel plate, the handle post defining an opening configured to receive an umbrella handle that supports an umbrella.   
     
     
         2 . The umbrella mount of  claim 1 , wherein the first axis and the second axis are perpendicular to one another. 
     
     
         3 . The umbrella mount of  claim 1 , wherein one swivel plate hole of the plurality of swivel plate holes to angularly position the swivel plate relative to the second clamp arm. 
     
     
         4 . The umbrella mount of  claim 3 , further comprising a first quick release pin extending through the one swivel plate hole and the at least one clamp arm hole. 
     
     
         5 . The umbrella mount of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjustable handle that releasably couples a distal end of the first clamp arm and a distal end of the second clamp arm. 
     
     
         6 . An umbrella mount system comprising:
 an umbrella;   an umbrella handle coupled to and supporting the umbrella; and   an umbrella mount comprising:
 a first clamp arm; 
 a second clamp arm pivotally coupled to the first clamp arm about a first axis, the second clamp arm defining at least one clamp arm hole, and the first clamp arm and the second clamp arm being configured to compressibly couple to a post; 
 a swivel plate pivotally coupled to the second clamp arm about a second axis, the swivel plate defining a plurality of swivel plate holes along a perimeter thereof; and 
 a handle post integral with the swivel plate, the handle post defining an opening that receives an umbrella handle that supports the umbrella. 
   
     
     
         7 . The umbrella mount system of  claim 6 , wherein the first axis and the second axis are perpendicular to one another. 
     
     
         8 . The umbrella mount system of  claim 6 , wherein the handle post defines a detent, and the umbrella handle comprises a nub that engages the detent to position the handle post. 
     
     
         9 . The umbrella mount system of  claim 8 , further comprising a first quick release pin extending through the one swivel plate hole and the at least one clamp arm hole. 
     
     
         10 . The umbrella mount system of  claim 9 , further comprising a second quick release pin, and wherein the umbrella handle defines a transverse hole extending therethrough, the transverse hole being receiving the second quick release pin therethrough.
