Abstract

Beach sun protection with a stand device formed from two identically constructed feet, each comprising a plastic box half (1), as well as an attached to it, consisting of two identically constructed, multi-part fabric holding rods (7), a sunscreen fabric (8) and two identical, multi-part tubes (5, 15) Existing sun protection device as connecting elements (7), characterized in that the plastic box halves (1) of the feet are each assigned a precisely fitting plastic body (3) at the middle of the long side, which together with a sheath (4) to be placed over it, form a stable base forms for the device, whereby a slightly oblique hole (20) in the plastic body (3) and in the casing (4) enables the reception of one tube element (5) of the multi-part tube (5, 15), which in turn due to the slight inclination Outward stability guaranteed, regardless of whether the stand ß is weighted or not.

Description

The present invention relates to a beach sunscreen with one of two identically constructed, each one plastic half enclosing feet formed stand device and attached thereto, consisting of two identically constructed, multi-part fabric support rods, a sunscreen and two identical, multi-part pipes as a connecting element between the feet and the fabric support rods existing sun protection device.

Such a beach sunscreen is already in the British patent application GB 2 372 700 A previously known. He has two standpipes, which in the midst of a plastic box prepared for this purpose, which is intended to prevent tipping over of the rods, has a hole through which the standpipes are to be rammed into the ground.

Sunshades of the usual kind are parasols, gazebos, beach shells, awnings, etc. Umbrellas of small to medium size do not provide enough shade (about 2 m ² at medium size) and are very susceptible to wind. Large umbrellas have sufficient support only with additional umbrella stand. Pavilions are elaborate to assemble and provide sufficient stability only when mounted in the ground. Beach shells offer very little shade and are therefore just suitable for children. Awnings usually have to be attached very complicated.

This invention makes it possible to donate sufficient shade for at least two adults with a device that is easy to set up and easy to adjust. The adjustment allows adaptation to the currently given solar conditions. The ease of transport and the simple and stable construction on the beach allow the beach sunscreen can be placed anywhere. Even on uneven ground and in strong winds, the device has sufficient grip. The stable hold is achieved by weighting the feet with various and widely available materials such as sand, gravel, stones, water or the like.

The beach sunscreen consists of a plastic box, consisting of two separate parts, a belt or the like, which allows the cohesion and carrying the plastic box, two plastic bodies, two rectangular body shells (for example, metal), two three-piece pipes, two adapters, two each three-piece rods, a sunscreen and two locking pins or the like.

The invention described above will be explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment.

1 shows the plastic box, which is held together by a belt, which allows the carrying.

2 shows how the stowage of the device is provided in the plastic box. The size of the box and the contents to be stowed must be adjusted in size to each other. In this example, the size is about 70 × 20 × 7 cm. The content consists of all parts of the entire sunshade device.

3 shows the empty plastic box half with a reinforcement (for example, a rubber pad) in the middle. The reinforcement 10 should prevent damage to the bottom of the plastic box through the screwed tubes. The plastic box half has small feet at the corners of its underside 11 , which are just as high as the thickness of the body casing requires to ensure a stable grip even on flat ground.

4 shows a rod consisting of three individual rod elements, wherein the middle element 12 something is stronger and over three centrally placed holes 13 features. The central hole is provided so that the pipe to be fastened therein can be mounted at 90 °. The two outer holes should allow the pipe to be fixed at an angle of 45 ° or 67.5 °. This middle bar serves as a connection for the two remaining, thinner bars 14 , The overall length of the bar can be varied by placing the outer bar elements further inward or outward, and the sunscreen to be applied can be adjusted accordingly, thus affecting the size of the shadow area.

5 shows the three individual tubes, which for example by means of a thread 15 can be connected to each other. If you want to reach a lower overall height due to the sun position, the adapter can 6 be taken to the rescue. In this variant, only two of the three available pipes are joined together. The design of the upper end of the pipe or the adapter should be chosen so that the pipe end or the adapter through the holes in the fabric holder rod 13 can be pushed through. Since the tube is narrower at the top, it prevents the attached rod from slipping down, instead it rests on top. The securing of the fabric bar can be done in various ways. In this example, the supernatant part of the Pipe (or adapter) over holes 16 to use a locking pin 9 to allow the attachment of the fabric support rod at the pipe end or on the adapter.

6 shows the sunscreen provided for the device. On the two outer sides and about each 30 cm offset inwards is ever a series of fabric ribbons 18 or the like - for example four pieces per row - to allow attachment to the upper bar. To vary the width of the sunscreen, the inner fabric straps can be used for fastening.

7 shows one of the two plastic box halves 1 as well as the base belonging to the body casing 4 with the associated plastic body 3 , On the underside of the plastic body is a recess 19 , which is the counterpart to the reinforcement 10 in the plastic box to allow for better fitting. The plastic body is with a hole 20 provided in the middle, which serves for screwing the tube. The execution of the hole in the plastic body is provided so that the tubes mounted therein are slightly inclined outwards. The body casing, which is slipped around one of the plastic box halves and around the plastic body described above, also has a hole 21 be provided to allow the joining of the foot. The slight inclination of the tubes to be fastened therein causes the tension of the sunscreen and thus the stability of the entire device, even if it is omitted due to no wind, to complain the feet. If you want to complain about the feet due to wind or uneven ground, this can be done by filling with water (salt / fresh water), sand, gravel, stones or the like. In addition, the foot can be buried in the sand or gravel to achieve even greater stability and more pleasing appearance.

8th shows the constructed beach sunscreen. The planned standing height is about 180 cm, in deep sun can be dispensed with the third pipe element, so that by the two remaining tubes using the adapter 6 a standing height of about 120 cm is reached. In this design, the sunscreen has a size of about 200 × 150 cm in size, resulting in a shadow area of up to 3 m ² can result. As a comparison: a medium-sized parasol offers a shadow area of about 2 m ² . The use of a larger sunscreen is possible. Only the distance between the two feet must be increased. If an extension in the depth is desired, the upper bars must be pulled out to the maximum, or be extended by additional rods.
