Abstract
An umbrella holding device designed for secure placement in a hole on a patio, porch, or pool deck. The device comprises a grip nut, a base, and a ferrule. The grip nut features a grip exterior and interior, with the interior partially threaded. The base has a grip portion and a patio extension, with the patio extension designed to fit into the patio hole and the grip portion configured to engage with the grip nut thread. The base interior is substantially funnel-shaped. The ferrule, which can be inserted into the grip hollow, has a top and at least one tang. When the threaded exterior portion engages the grip nut thread, the ferrule is pushed into the base interior, and the funnel-shaped base interior exerts inward pressure on the ferrule.
