Abstract

An umbrella mount, and optional adaptor, a receiver for an umbrella pole and at least two pressure points that at least one strap and fastener can urge against a base support to securely position the mount.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A mount for holding an umbrella in position on a base support comprising:
 a base having a top side and a bottom side;   a pole receiver connected to and extending from the top side normal to the base; and   an angled base pole having a base portion received in the pole receiver and a pole section extending upward from the base portion at an angle of between 30° and 60°.   
     
     
         2 . The mount of  claim 1  further comprising an umbrella pole interfitting with the pole receiver, a lockably adjustable swivel joint, and a canopy. 
     
     
         3 . The mount of  claim 2  wherein the swivel joint is set at an angle opposite the angle of the angled base pole. 
     
     
         4 . The mount of  claim 1  wherein the angled base pole can be fixed in at least four different positions to change the outward angular orientation of the pole section. 
     
     
         5 . The mount of  claim 2  wherein the swivel joint is lockably adjustable in at least two increments of 22.5° in either direction. 
     
     
         6 . The mount of  claim 2  wherein the swivel joint is lockably adjustable in at least three increments of 15° in either direction. 
     
     
         7 . The mount of  claim 2  wherein the swivel joint is lockably adjustable in at least one increment of 45° in either direction. 
     
     
         8 . A mount for holding an umbrella in position on a base support comprising:
 a base having a top side and a bottom side;   a pole receiver connected to and extending from the top side normal to the base;   a plurality of openings passing through the base;   fasteners extending through the plurality of openings into the base support;   a base pole having a base portion received in the pole receiver and a pole section extending upward from the base portion;   an umbrella pole interfitting with the pole section;   an adjustably lockable swivel joint on the umbrella pole; and   a canopy connected thereto.   
     
     
         9 . The mount of  claim 8  wherein the plurality of openings pass vertically through the base and the fasteners extending through the plurality of openings are threaded. 
     
     
         10 . The mount of  claim 8  wherein the plurality of openings pass through the base at clockwise angles of approximately 45° relative to the bottom side of the base and the pole receiver and the fasteners extending through the plurality of openings are ground anchors. 
     
     
         11 . The mount of  claim 10  wherein the base support is grass covered ground. 
     
     
         12 . The mount of  claim 8  wherein the plurality of openings pass through the base at counterclockwise angles of approximately 45° relative to the bottom side of the base and the pole receiver and the fasteners extending through the plurality of openings are ground anchors. 
     
     
         13 . An umbrella and mount in combination comprising:
 a canopy;   a lockably adjustable swivel joint connected thereto;   an angled base umbrella pole extending from the swivel joint to a pole receiver;   the pole receiver being connected to a pipe mount having a reception end for reception in and fastening to a trailer hitch;   wherein a base portion of the angled base umbrella pole is received in the pole receiver.   
     
     
         14 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 13  wherein the angled base umbrella pole can be fixed in at least four different positions to change the outward angular orientation of the umbrella pole. 
     
     
         15 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 13  wherein the swivel joint is set at an angle opposite the angle of the angled base umbrella pole. 
     
     
         16 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 13  wherein the swivel joint is lockably adjustable in at least two increments of 22.5° in either direction. 
     
     
         17 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 13  wherein the pipe mount is a square pipe with a corner sleeve proximate to the reception end and spaced outwardly by proximately 0.25 inches from the square pipe to create an L shaped gap between the square pipe and corner sleeve. 
     
     
         18 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 17  wherein the angled base umbrella pole can be fixed in at least four different positions to change the outward angular orientation of the umbrella pole. 
     
     
         19 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 17  wherein the swivel joint is set at an angle opposite the angle of the angled base umbrella pole. 
     
     
         20 . The umbrella and mount of  claim 17  wherein the swivel joint is lockably adjustable in at least two increments of 22.5° in either direction.
