ABSTRACT:
An umbrella holder comprising a clamp mechanism; a right/left angular adjustment mechanism, a forward/rearward angular adjustment mechanism; a length adjustment mechanism; and an umbrella shaft and handle securing mechanism. The clamp mechanism includes an upper and lower jaw member, an upper and lower resilient clamp pad, and a clamp screw mechanism. Each upper and lower jaw member is provided with a clamp channel that is covered with the upper or lower resilient clamp pad, respectively. The clamp channels are oriented in opposed relationship and the clamp screw mechanism threadable engages the lower jaw member and rotatably engages the upper jaw member in a manner such that rotation of the clamp screw mechanism causes the upper and lower jaw to be forced together or apart depending on the direction of rotation of the clamp screw mechanism. The umbrella shaft and handle securing mechanism includes a shaft channel clamp and a handle strap assembly positioned below the shaft channel clamp. The shaft channel clamp includes a channel member having an elongated channel that is covered with resilient padding and sized to receive therein a portion of the shaft of an umbrella. A compression member rotatably connected to a shaft clamp screw mechanism is positioned within the elongated channel. The compression member has a resilient pad covering the compression surface thereof. The compression member is preferably elongated and can also have a curved channelized surface if desired. The handle strap assembly includes a flexible strap having an adjustable securing mechanism.
