a plurality of receiver gears molded to said pivotable pole receiver for adjusting said pivotable pole receiver;

a receiver-adjusting system comprising:
a rotatable receiver adjustor having an adjustor bottom, said rotatable receiver adjustor pivotably screwed to said pivotable pole receiver,
a plurality of adjustor gears molded to said rotatable receiver adjustor for engaging to said receiver gears to lock said pivotable pole receiver,
a central adjustor hole drilled through said adjustor bottom,
an adjustor-locking knob-screw screwed through said central adjustor hole, and
a plurality of bottom gears molded to said adjustor bottom;

a trailer-hitch-adapting system comprising:
a trailer-hitch-adapting tube
a trailer-hitch-adapting bolt hole drilled through said trailer-hitch-adapting tube,
at least one trailer-hitch-adapting peg hole drilled in said trailer-hitch-adapting tube, and
at least one trailer-hitch-adapting hook hole drilled in said trailer-hitch-adapting tube;

at least one curved-surface-adapting systems each comprising:
a curved-surface-adapting plate,
a plate-locking peg molded to said curved-surface-adapting plate for being inserted into said at least one trailer-hitch-adapting peg hole, and
a plurality of plate-aligning pegs molded to said curved-surface-adapting plate for straddling said trailer-hitch-adapting tube;

an umbrella-base system comprising:
a base body having a base bottom, said base body welded to said trailer-hitch-adapting tube,
a central base hole drilled through said base body for said adjustor-locking knob-screw to be screwed therethrough,
a plurality of base gears molded to said base body for engaging to said bottom gears to lock said rotatable receiver adjustor,
two double-function wrenching-and-strapping handles welded to said base body for wrenching said base body and for strapping said base body, and
a surface-conforming-and-protecting adaptor attached to said base bottom; and

at least one umbrella each comprising:
an umbrella canopy, and
an umbrella pole attached to said umbrella canopy, said umbrella pole
for being inserted through said pole-centering sleeve to be centered therein and
for being inserted into said pivotable pole receiver to be pivotably, adjustably, and lockably attached to said pivotable pole receiver.

2. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one strapping system, wherein each of said at least one strapping system comprises:
a plurality of hooks
for hooking in said at least one trailer-hitch-adapting hook hole in said trailer-hitch-adapting tube or
for hooking on said two double-function wrenching-and-strapping handles on said base body,

a strap attached to said hooks, and
a ratchet attached to said strap
for ratcheting said strap.

3. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , further comprising a separation-assisting spring disposed around said central base hole for assisting the separation of said base gears from said bottom gears.

4. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , wherein said umbrella pole is telescopic.

5. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , wherein said umbrella pole is tiltable.

6. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , wherein said trailer-hitch-adapting tube has a square cross-section.

7. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , wherein said trailer-hitch-adapting tube has a square-tube shape.

8. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , wherein said surface-conforming-and-protecting adaptor is made of rubber.

9. The multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of screw holes drilled through said base body and a plurality of attaching screws for being screwed through said screw holes.

10. A multi-application rotatable and pivotable umbrella system comprising:
at least one pole-receiving system each comprising:
a pivotable pole receiver having a receiver end,
a pole-centering sleeve slid on said receiver end,
a pole-locking hole threadedly drilled through said pivotable pole receiver,
a pole-locking knob-screw screwed through said pole-locking hole, and
a plurality of receiver gears molded to said pivotable pole receiver for adjusting said pivotable pole receiver;

a receiver-adjusting system comprising:
a rotatable receiver adjustor having an adjustor bottom, said rotatable receiver adjustor pivotably screwed to said pivotable pole receiver,
a plurality of adjustor gears molded to said rotatable receiver adjustor for engaging to said receiver gears to lock said pivotable pole receiver,
a central adjustor hole drilled through said adjustor bottom,
an adjustor-locking knob-screw screwed through said central adjustor hole, and
a plurality of bottom gears molded to said adjustor bottom;
