Abstract:
A modular umbrella includes a fixed hub device mounted on a top end of a post and a runner device slideably mounted to the post. The fixed hub device is detachably coupled with four, six, or eight rib seats for coupling with a corresponding number of ribs. A corresponding number of stretchers is detachably mounted between the ribs and the rib seats. Thus, the modular umbrella can be assembled to include four, six, or eight ribs and can be arranged to support a square or rectangular canopy.

Claim (Index 8):
A modular umbrella comprising:\n a post including a top end; a fixed hub device fixed on the top end of the post, wherein the fixed hub device includes a plurality of rib seats, a first upper fixing member, and a second upper fixing member spaced from the first upper fixing member along a longitudinal axis of the post, wherein at least one of the first upper fixing member and the second upper fixing member is detachably mounted, and wherein some or all of the plurality of rib seats are selected and detachably mounted between the first upper fixing member and the second upper fixing member; a plurality of ribs, wherein each of the plurality of ribs is pivotably connected to a respective one of the selected ones of the plurality of rib seats; a runner device mounted on the post and slideable along the longitudinal axis of the post, wherein the runner device includes a plurality of stretcher seats, a first lower fixing member, and a second lower fixing member spaced from the first lower fixing member along the longitudinal axis of the post, wherein at least one of the first lower fixing member and the second lower fixing member is detachably mounted, wherein some or all of the plurality of stretcher seats are detachably mounted between the first lower fixing member and the second lower fixing member, wherein a number of the selected ones of the plurality of stretcher seats is equal to a number of the selected ones of the plurality of rib seats; and a plurality of stretchers, wherein each of the plurality of stretchers includes a first pivotal end and a second pivotal end, wherein the first pivotal end of each of the plurality of stretchers is pivotably connected to a respective one of the plurality of ribs, and wherein the second pivotal end of each of the plurality of stretchers is pivotably connected to a respective one of the selected ones of the plurality of stretcher seats.
