ABSTRACT:
A combination umbrella and gazebo that can be used as an umbrella or a gazebo. The combination includes a frame, a canopy, and a side. The canopy is affixed to the frame and has an open position and a closed position. The side is affixed to the canopy and has an extended position in which the combination functions as the gazebo and a retracted position in which the combination functions as the umbrella. And, the side achieves its extended and retracted positions by turning a crank which causes a first cord that is operatively connected to eight second cords which are operatively connected to eight third cords which are operatively connected to the side to displace half as much as each of the eight third cords so as to reduce the amount of turning of the crank required to lower and raise the side.
