Abstract:
1. A device for removably securing a beach umbrella to a foldable chair with a tube-like frame comprising: a. a top mounting plate of substantially rectangular and planar shape with a first and second end; wherein said top mounting plates has a pair of holes drilled through the first end, a pair of holes drilled through the second end, and a pair of holes drilled in between the first and second end; said top mounting plate is adapted to be secured to a chair above a chair seat; b. a bottom mounting plate of substantially rectangular and planar shape and has a first and second end; wherein said bottom mounting plate has a pair of holes drilled through the first end, a pair of holes drilled through the second end, and a pair of holes drilled in between the first and second end; said bottom mounting plate is adapted to be secured to a chair below the seat of the chair; c. a first and second compression fitting mechanism; wherein the first and second compression fitting mechanisms are substantially cylindrical and hollow; wherein the first and second compression fitting mechanisms have a first and second open end; wherein a portion of an umbrella pole is adapted to be inserted through the compression fittings; d. six “U” bolts with two protruding threaded ends; wherein the each “U” bolt is sized to fit around the leg of a chair; wherein the ends of the “U” bolts are threaded; wherein the diameter of the “U” bolt is smaller than the diameter of the holes in the mounting plates; e. Twelve flat washers; f. Twelve lock washers; g. Twelve securement mechanisms; and h. Two clamp mechanisms; wherein the clamps are sized to fit around the compression fittings; wherein the clamp mechanisms secure the compression fitting mechanisms to the top and bottom mounting plates; said clamp mechanisms are secured to the top and bottom mounting plates using a plurality of said “U” bolts and securement mechanisms.
