ABSTRACT:
A linkage device for an umbrella includes a pivot and a joint. A frame having an opening defined therein is integrally formed on a periphery of the pivot. A deformable leaf is provided to the joint and has a configuration to mate with a recess defined in the joint. Furthermore, a pivot rod is provided to the joint and functions as a pivot when the stretchers and the ribs are expand or folded. Therefore, when a portion of the frame is received within the joint, the deformable leaf is able to securely enclose the portion of the frame within the joint.
