ABSTRACT:
A folding umbrella for use in extremely gusty conditions includes spreaders extending between canopy supporting ribs and the umbrella pole which are longitudinally extensible against the action of a spring. The ribs and the spreader are linked to the pole for pivotal movement through one hundred and eighty degrees permitting a strong gust of wind to invert the canopy to extend with the spreaders above the pole thereby spilling the wind. The spreaders include cylinders formed by tubes receiving a helical compression spring and one end of each spreader is formed as a piston rod extending through the spring and having a head at the other end trapping the spring against an end of the tube.
