Abstract

An umbrella can include a handle forming a cavity within the handle, and a holder disposed within the cavity. The holder can have a first position within the cavity and a second position disposed telescopically from the handle. The umbrella may further include a replaceable power supply, a light source, and a set of cutoff switches disposed within the holder. The cutoff switches can be electrically connected to the replaceable power supply and embedded in the holder. What is more, the holder can be pulled telescopically out of the cavity to the second position to connect the light source to the power supply through the release of the cutoff switches and to automatically activate the light source. In addition, the holder can be pushed back into the cavity to the first position, thereby restoring the handle to its original state.
