Umbrella with repositionable grip

摘要

Improved gripping structures for a hand-held umbrella are provided. In one example structure, a first grip (14) is fixedly attached to an end of a shaft (12) of the umbrella, such as the end located distally away from a canopy (26) of the umbrella. A second grip (16) is coupled to the shaft. The second grip may be slidably repositionable along the shaft. The second grip may include an interlocking device (42) to lock the second grip at a desired location along the shaft. The second grip may further include a runner interface (46). A coupling member (80) may be disposed at the first grip to couple an accessory, such as a camera, at the end of the shaft distally away from the canopy of the umbrella.
