Original Abstract Submitted

An umbrella holding assembly includes a vehicle structure having a wall that defines an opening providing access to a receiving space, and a holder. The holder includes a receiving feature pivotably coupled to the vehicle structure and defining an inlet for receiving an umbrella. The receiving feature is operable to pivot relative to the vehicle structure through the opening from a first position to a second position. In the first position, the receiving feature is wholly within the receiving space. In the second position, the receiving feature is at least partially outside of the receiving space. The holder also includes a chute coupled to the receiving feature and operable to move relative to the receiving feature between retracted and extended positions. The holder further includes an end cap coupled to the chute distally from the receiving feature. The holder is movable between use and stowed conditions.
