Brighten Your Backyard with a Patio Umbrella
In any tropical country, when the sun is harsh even during winter or cold seasons, people run for shades and covers to escape from the scorching sunburn nature. When no covers are in sight people started to think of primitive covers which developed into umbrellas.
Kings and queens of the royal families in India, in ancient time of imperial regime, used ornamental umbrellas to escape scorching sun rays, which also became their status symbol.
With the technology development, easy to carry light umbrellas are evolved that can be carried wherever they want besides some portable heavy type to fix in a place. Such heavy type developed became Patio Umbrellas.
They made a heavy base with stem that can be grouted to the ground to keep the patio umbrella stable as a temporary foundation. Over this base, the umbrella is fixed and the base along with the grouted stem held the patio umbrella to the ground that gave a good stability from toppling, against mild wind.
Focus was given to the temporary stability of these portable patio umbrellas by providing a heavy base along with a sharp stem that can get into the soil to keep the base in place. Patio umbrella is fixed over this strong base, which held it to the ground stable from toppling even against mild winds.
The large heavy base with its sufficient area gave a strong base taking care of the point of center of gravity to fall within itself thus providing the stability. The grouted stem that went into the ground in support of the base gave that anchoring reinforcement.
The fixed umbrella will not have the provision to cover from the moving rays at an angle. The person will be disturbed to move his position to the area of the shade. This could be prevented by providing a knuckle at the top area of the holding stem that will give the tilting mechanism to move the canopy of the umbrella to the direction of the sun to provide the cover.
While someone rests under the umbrella, the sun rays will creep through in a slanted angle, as it is moving towards the west. At this point fixed canopy of the umbrella will not be able to give the cover, as the shade would have already moved out. A knuckle with a tilting mechanism at the top stem of the umbrella enables the canopy tilted against the sun to resume the shade. This joint should be sturdy enough to support the canopy of the umbrella as well as the additional load that will be imposed because of the mild wind or the water of the drizzle.
An additional swivel mechanism will give a complementary ease of movement against the current of the wind, the rain or the sun rays with the changing direction, without dislodging the resting person.
