<p>An umbrella cover (10, 100) is provided in which a sleeve (10, 100) contains a substantially rigid telescoping support rod (20) which enables the cover (10, 100) to be readily mounted on an umbrella canopy (12) while facilitating compact storage of the cover (10, 100). The lower end of the sleeve (10) may include a flap portion (16) which is folded back to form a cuff (24) prior to lifting the cover (10) over the umbrella (12) or the sleeve (100) may include a partial triangular cut out (104) in the front side (106) which has as its backing, a portion (114) of the interior of the rear side (112) of the cover (100) in place of the cuff arrangement (24). In either instance, the rigid rod (20) is retained in a pocket (22, 124) formed in the sleeve (10, 100). The pocket (124) extends along one edge of the backing member (114) to add rigidness while the cut out (104) facilitates mounting of the sleeve (100) over the umbrella canopy (12). The sleeve (100) may be made from a single blank (102) of material with appropriate cutting, folding and stitching.</p> |
