Abstract
An umbrella table cover formed generally of a sheet of flexible material sized to usefully cover an umbrella table and including a flexible, expandable, elastic collar secured to the mid-portion of the flexible material. The collar is adapted to receive and elastically bias against the umbrella pole passed therethrough so as to properly orient and retain the table cover atop the umbrella table, prevent debris from dropping through the central aperture in the table, and restrict billowing of the table cover in a breeze. The collar may include additional flexible material which is extendable upwardly along the umbrella pole to decoratively enhance elastically securing the collar around the pole. The collar may also include a close-fitting resilient ring closely yet slideably mating against the umbrella pole. Further, the collar may retain and conceal an annular-shaped container or foam retainer also apertured to receive the umbrella pole passed therethrough, the container for holding water and cut flowers or artificial flowers for decoration.
