ABSTRACT:
An umbrella includes an elongate handle, a canopy mounted on an upper end of the handle, and a rib assembly for supporting the canopy. A tubular runner is slidably sleeved on the handle and is movable between upper and lower positions for spreading and collapsing the canopy, respectively. A stretcher assembly is disposed to stretch or retract the rib assembly. A resilient tongue member is secured on the upper end of the handle, and has a distal hook end which is biased away from the handle in a lateral and transverse direction. An annular inner wall of the runner defines a guideway to receive the tongue member and retain the hook end during upward movement of the runner to the upper position.
