Abstract:

A safety umbrella comprising fluorescent fabric panels, of which, at least one panel is transparent, a skeleton, a shaft assembly, and a cover assembly. Interconnecting the skeleton to the shaft assembly is a runner, which allows a user to open and close the umbrella and elongated sleeves upon stretchers to prevent pinching or trapping the fingers of the users thereof. A telescopic cover assembly collects water when the umbrella is closed, and the telescopic cylindrical are in the extended position engaged contiguously to each other's cooperating upper and lower flanges resulting in a substantially water-tight disposition. A removable cap mounted to a sleeve member that includes a thorough passage allows for the ready drainage of the water collected by the canopy, reducing the probability of water damage or accidents to the user or others, resulting from slippage upon water.
