Abstract

Mast (1) of a side mast stand umbrella, comprising a connection joint to a side arm that carries the canopy, the side arm and the mast (1) each having means for fixing (2, 4) with which the side arm is in the rest position on the mast (1) can be locked.

Description

The invention relates to a mast of a standing umbrella with a mast arranged laterally to the canopy, in which the canopy is opened and closed via a side arm or bracket.

This so-called pendulum or cantilever umbrella is, for example, from the DE 10 2015 113 993 A1 known.

From there a standing umbrella with a laterally arranged mast is known, the umbrella of which can be opened via a first cable pull, the first cable pull being moved by lifting or raising a boom and raising or raising the boom by means of a second cable pull, in such a way that at least the second cable is partially housed in the mast of the umbrella. In the side arm standing umbrella disclosed there, the boom is moved via a remotely controllable motor.

The extension arm or side arm of a side-mast standing umbrella tends to move at a certain angle to the mast, even when the umbrella is folded, because of the load exerted by the canopy. This destabilizes the free-standing umbrella and the heavier the canopy, the greater the destabilization due to unwanted movement of the side arm or boom with canopy in the rest position of the free-standing umbrella.

This is a problem especially with large umbrellas.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a technique for locking the boom or side arm of a side mast free-standing parasol.

This object is achieved by the subject matter of the present invention as disclosed in the description, the figures and the claims.

Accordingly, the object and subject matter of the present invention is a mast of a side mast standing umbrella, comprising a connection joint to a side arm that carries the canopy, the side arm and the mast each having means for fixing with which the side arm is in the rest position on the mast is lockable.

As a side arm of the side mast standing umbrella, for example, a boom, as it is from the DE 10 2015 113 993 A1 is known, called. The side arm is attached to the top of the mast via a hinge and is displayed when the canopy is opened - that is, it is moved away from the mast and moved back towards the mast when the canopy is folded.

When the canopy is folded - as in the "rest position", the side arm is located directly on the mast, whereby it is not held in position by the weight of the canopy and the joint alone, but, as the invention suggests, by means of fixing the side arm to the mast is to be locked.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the “means for fixing” are a hook on the mast and an opening and / or loop on the side arm into which the hook is to be hooked.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a part of a lock, a latch bolt, a hook-loop arrangement is provided as the “means for fixing” on the mast, which is optically as inconspicuous as possible when the umbrella is open, so in particular an element that is in a hollow place can be pushed in, retracted, sunk, screwed in etc. on the mast. When the umbrella is folded up and the side arm is fixed, the means for fixing is then extended, unscrewed, etc. and introduced into a corresponding opening on the side arm for fixing the same to the mast.

For example, a retractable hook can be provided as a means for fixing, for example in the form that the hook can be screwed into a corresponding opening or slot in the mast and, if necessary, unscrewed in the rest position of the side mast stand umbrella and into the corresponding opening of the Hooks the side arm and thereby secures it.

The means for fixing can be expanded as required, in particular all forms of a latch bolt, a mortise lock connection, etc. can be used here as a means for fixing.

In the following, the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to two figures which show an example of an embodiment of the invention in which a rotatable and retractable hook is used as the means for fixing.

1 shows a section of the mast 1 a side arm stand umbrella that has a rotary knob 2 and a slot 3 shows. When turning the rotary knob 2 in the direction 5 will - see 2 - a catch 4th unscrewed from the mast, in which a corresponding opening on the side arm (not shown) is hung in the rest position.

The side arm has thus been fixed to the mast according to the embodiment of the invention shown here.

In the unfolded state, the hook is again in the opposite direction 5 in the mast 1 screwed in and thus optically sunk - see 1 .

The invention opens up a practical possibility of securing the heavy side arm in side mast standing umbrellas, especially large umbrellas, according to a drop bolt or hook and loop principle, which does not interfere with the open umbrella and the folded side mast in the rest position - Stand umbrella stabilized.
