BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to the field of umbrellas, more specifically, misting umbrellas.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a handle coupled to an umbrella. The handle may be gripped by a user. A reservoir is coupled to the handle. The reservoir contains a fluid. A pump is coupled to the handle. The pump is operationally coupled to the reservoir. The pump urges the fluid outwardly from the reservoir. A shaft of the umbrella has a fluid aperture extending therethrough. A tube is coupled to the umbrella. The tube is operationally coupled to the pump. The pump urges the fluid through the tube. The tube is operationally coupled to the fluid aperture extending through the shaft of the umbrella.

An object of the invention is to provide a device that is misting umbrella.

These together with additional objects, features and advantages of the misting umbrella will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the following detailed description of presently preferred, but nonetheless illustrative, embodiments of the misting umbrella when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENT

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 5, the fluid misting assembly10generally comprises a handle12that has a first end14and a second end16. The first end14of the handle12is open and the handle12is substantially hollow. An outer wall18of the handle12is curved between the first14and second16ends of the handle12so the handle12has a J-shape. The first end14of the handle12insertably receives a bottom end20of a shaft22of an umbrella24. The handle12may be gripped by a user.

A reservoir26is provided. An external side28of an outer wall30of the reservoir26extends between a top side32and a bottom side34of the outer wall30of the reservoir26. The external side28of the outer wall30of the reservoir26is curve so the reservoir26has an ovoid shape. The top side32of the outer wall30of the reservoir26is coupled to a bottom side36of the outer wall18of the handle12. The reservoir26contains a fluid38. Finally, the fluid38may be water.

A fill spout40is coupled to and extends upwardly from the top side32of the outer wall30of the reservoir26. The fill spout40is in fluid communication with an interior of the reservoir26. Additionally, the fill spout40is positioned proximate a back side42of the reservoir26. A cap44is removably coupled to an open top end46of the fill spout40. Lastly, the fluid38is poured through the open top end46of the fill spout40to fill the reservoir26.

A pump48is coupled to an inside surface50of the outer wall18of the handle12. The pump48may be a fluid pump of any conventional design. The shaft22of the umbrella24has a fluid aperture52extending through an outer wall54of the shaft22of the umbrella24. The fluid aperture52is positioned proximate a top end56of the shaft22of the umbrella24. The umbrella24may be an umbrella24of any conventional design.

The fluid aperture52is one of a plurality of the fluid apertures58. The plurality of fluid apertures58is evenly spaced apart and distributed around an entire circumference of the shaft22of the umbrella24. Moreover, the plurality of fluid apertures58comprises a pair of sets of the plurality of fluid apertures60. A top one of the pair of sets of the plurality of fluid apertures62is positioned between a plurality of ribs64of the umbrella24and a plurality of stretchers66of the umbrella24. Moreover, a bottom one of the pair of sets of the plurality of fluid apertures68is positioned between a runner70of the umbrella24and the plurality of stretchers66of the umbrella24.

An actuator72is coupled to the handle12. The actuator72is electrically coupled to the pump48. Additionally, the actuator72selectively actuates the pump48.

A tube74is coupled to the umbrella24. The tube74is one of a pair of the tubes76. An intake one of the pair of tubes78is fluidly coupled to a bottom80of the pump48. The intake tube78extends downwardly into the reservoir26. A free end82of the intake tube78is positioned in the fluid38. The pump48urges the fluid38upwardly through the intake tube78.

An outlet one of the pair of tubes84is fluidly coupled to a top86of the pump48. The outlet tube84extends upwardly through an interior of the shaft22of the umbrella24. The outlet tube84is fluidly coupled to the plurality of fluid apertures58. Additionally, the fluid38is sprayed outwardly from the shaft22of the umbrella24.

A power supply88is coupled to the handle12. The power supply88is electrically coupled to the actuator72. Additionally, the power supply88comprises at least one battery90. The power supply88may have an operational voltage between 6 VDC and 9 VDC.

In use, the umbrella24is positioned in a deployed position to create shade for the user. The user actuates the actuator72so the pump48urges the fluid38upwardly through the outlet tube84and outwardly through the plurality of fluid apertures58. The fluid38is sprayed downwardly onto the user so the user is cooled. Finally, the reservoir26is re-filled when the fluid38is depleted.
