Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2005087036A1] An umbrella or display structure (40) includes a frame (42), having a shaft (44) upon which a runner (46) moves. The runner is attached to the ribs (48), and stretchers (52) are pivotally attached to these ribs in the usual way so that the end of the stretcher is attached part of the way along the respective rib (48). A cover (54) is fitted under the ribs, and is attached to the runner; hence the umbrella.

A cover (54) is fitted under the ribs, and is attached to the runner; hence the umbrella's configuration is "inverted" with respect to known umbrellas, allowing the underside to be used as a display surface. If the free ends of the ribs are tied to the shaft the stretchers can even be dispensed with altogether. A lamp can be mounted inside the umbrella, on top of the shaft, for additional effect.
