ABSTRACT:
An automated umbrella assembly includes an outer housing having a bottom wall, a top wall and a peripheral wall. A tube is rotatably mounted in the housing. The tube extends upwardly toward an aperture in the top wall and has an open upper end. An inwardly extending threaded lip is attached to an inner surface of the tube. An umbrella includes a shaft having a top end and a bottom end. A plurality of gores is attached to the top end. The gores are selectively positioned in a collapsed position or in an extended position. The shaft has a threaded outer surface and is threadably coupled to the lip. The shaft is extended outwardly through the aperture when the tube is rotated in a first direction and pulled into the outer housing when the tube is rotated in the second direction. A motor is mechanically coupled to the tube.
