ABSTRACT:
An inverted-frustoconical container houses a clamp for clamping the tip of an umbrella, and a rain-water drain valve. The drain valve is normally biased closed, but downward force on the container opens the valve. When the umbrella tip is held in the clamp and the umbrella is stood tip-downward in the container, any rain water accumulated on the umbrella cloth runs into and is collected within the container. To drain the collected water from the container, a user bears downward on the umbrella shaft to force the container against the floor or ground and thereby open the valve.
