Abstract
An umbrella cover assembly includes a truncated conical cover made from felxible water repellent material and closed at its upper end has a longitudinal slit extend from its open lower end toward its upper end. Elongate battens made from resilient flexible material and having arcuate transverse cross-sections are contained within pockets in the cover extending along opposite sides of the slit. The battens impart longitudinal stiffness to the flexible cover in the region of the slit and are used to raise the cover to position it on a tall article. Both the cover and the battens contained in it are foldable to a compact storage condition.
