Abstract
A clamp assembly for an umbrella tarp as applied on an umbrella frame comprises a two piece end cap and jaw assembly. A first, top section is comprised of a beam having a laterally extending flange therefrom. On the underside of the flange is a series of ribs or teeth forming the top half of the jaw assembly. Also extending laterally from the beam, and below the flange, are a pair of flanges that can be fit within the end of an extension member of an umbrella, forming an end cap. A second, bottom section has corresponding ribs to interconnectedly mate with the ribs of the top section. The bottom section has itself a bottom which conforms to the shape of the extension member of an umbrella frame. The umbrella tarp is placed between the first and section sections and the assembly is secured by screws or rivets into the umbrella frame's extension member.
