ABSTRACT

An umbrella holding device for securing an umbrella in a patio hole includes a
grip nut with a threaded interior and a shoulder, a base with a threaded grip
portion and a patio extension, a removable thread sleeve that slides over the
patio extension, and a ferrule. The ferrule is inserted into the grip nut and,
when the grip nut engages the base, the ferrule is compressed into the
funnel-shaped base interior to grip the umbrella shaft. The removable thread
sleeve, made of pliable material, slides over the patio extension and
compresses against the patio hole when threaded in, creating a friction hold.
Multiple thread sleeves of different dimensions and materials can be provided
to accommodate various patio hole sizes and conditions.
