An umbrella frame having two collapsibly protractable structures defining ear-like projections. The umbrella frame has a plurality of ribs and associated pivotally attached struts extendable to define a characteristic dome shaped umbrella. The struts are further attached to a runner axially slidable on a central shaft of the umbrella that causes the outward extension of the struts to push the ribs outwardly when the runner is upwardly moved. In addition, two pairs of braces are respectively pivotally attached on one end to opposing struts either at the same point or at separate locations thereon, and extend through respective guide brackets fixedly attached to respective outer ribs. The other ends of the braces extend beyond the outer dome of the umbrella and are pivotally attached to a swivel coupling that causes loop shaped bending of the braces to define outwardly projecting ears from the characteristic dome shaped umbrella when the struts are extended by upwardly moving the runner.

An improved cutting mechanism for a pole pruner; the cutting mechanism includes a head mounted on the upper end of an elongate vertical pole. The head has an upwardly, radially forwardly and downwardly turned, recurvant, work-engaging hook defining a downwardly and laterally opening hook opening with an inner shearing edge. An elongate normally vertically extending cutting blade is normally positioned adjacent one side of the hook and is pivotally mounted at its upper end to pivot forwardly and upwardly across the hook opening. The cutting blade has an elongate actuating lever normally projecting upwardly and rearwardly from its upper end. The lever arm is pivoted rearwardly and downwardly by manually applied force to pivot the blade from its normal position across the hook opening. The cutting blade has a lancet blade with a substantially vertical forwardly disposed primary cutting edge, a substantially horizontal upwardly disposed secondary cutting edge and a forwardly and upwardly disposed tip normally projecting into the lower rear portion of said hook opening and engaging work moved up into engagement in said hook opening and preventing displacement of said work from said hook opening in advance of said cutting blade.
