ABSTRACT:
An umbrella is provided that includes a support pole, at least a portion of which extends upwardly in use, a suspending pole, a canopy, and a mechanism for rotating the suspending pole about its longitudinal axis. The suspending pole is mounted transversely to the support pole and has first and second ends and a longitudinal axis. The canopy is suspended in use from the second end of the support pole. The mechanism includes a plurality of gear teeth coupled with the suspending pole to cause the suspending pole to rotate in either direction about said axis upon movement of the gear teeth and to thereby cause the canopy to tilt in either direction about said axis.
