Garden umbrella

The invention relates to a garden umbrella or parasol, whose shaft stands upright on the ground and carries a canopy made of fabric or plastic, which is secured by means of ribs and stiffening members with accessories can be brought from a folded position surrounding the upper part of the shaft to an open position in which they have the shape of a weak has domed dome or a mushroom.

An umbrella of the type described can be used in the garden of a residential building can be held in an upright position if its shaft is provided by an approximately centrally located in a table opening is inserted through it into the ground. One sufficient Great stability can also be achieved by a heavy holder made of concrete, in the center of which arranged opening inserted the lower end of the shaft will.

These devices generally work satisfactorily the task of setting up the umbrella in the garden of a residential house. However, if such an umbrella from home Taken with the car and when storing in the area or To be used on the beach, it is not practical to use a specially shaped table or one on the trip Take a heavier holder with you, just to hold the lower part of the umbrella shaft firmly on the ground.

However, simply inserting the shaft into the ground would not produce the desired stability, especially not if the ground is hard and dry. The invention ψ should therefore fulfill the task of keeping the screen stable in such cases even without the known holding tables and concrete holders.

According to the invention is therefore the lowest for a garden umbrella - the tapering end of the shaft with a screw thread provided that spirals in accordance with its taper. The shaft is also in this version can be screwed into the earth as far as the conditions require in harder soil, and after use the The screen can then be unscrewed again.

fe Further features of the invention consist in devices with which the shaft of the screen can be screwed into the ground or unscrewed from it.

Using the drawing, examples are described in which the practical implementation of the invention is explained in more detail.

The shaft of the umbrella is denoted by 1. The canopy 2 is shown in the open position. The ribs and stiffeners and the other accessories for holding the canopy are not shown as they are generally known.

In the example in FIGS. 1 to 3, the shaft 1 consists for the most part of a cylindrical metal tube, into the lower end of which the head part of a plug-in body J made of solid metal is inserted. This also has a circular cross-section, abuts with its shoulder 4 (Fig. 2) against the lower end of the tube and is firmly connected to this by means of a rivet 5 that goes transversely through the tube and connector head. The outer diameter of paragraph 4 on connector J> is the same as the outer diameter of the tube to which the connector head is connected. The plug-in body below the paragraph 4 tapers downwards so that its extreme lower end forms a point. The jacket of the plug-in body 4j below the shoulder 4 is provided with a screw thread 6, which extends spirally according to the narrowing of this part.

The screw turn 6 can be attached in various ways. For example, a solid piece of metal is processed in such a way that that it is the shape of the plug-in body just described with the screw turn 6 receives. Or a piece of solid metal is turned in such a way that both the plug head extends to the Paragraph 4 as well as the tapering end of the shaft results, on the then square or rectangular metal wire

moved up or down and possibly also completely pulled out of the lower part can.

The embodiment described in FIGS. 4 and 5 can also be used like the first according to FIGS. 1 and 3 with an arrangement be provided, which facilitates the screwing of the shaft into the ground, i.e. the one provided with the screw thread Screws the lower end of the shaft into the ground or pulls it out again later.

For this purpose, the lower part 12 of the shaft 1 is provided with) two handles 20, which are horizontal and radial depart from this shaft part and face one another, the handles being provided again at waist height will.

The two handles 20 according to FIG. 5 are expediently made of metallic tube or solid material and have a horizontal part, which forms the actual handle and is welded to the side of the shaft 12 or soldered on and bent downwards and then attached to the shaft 12 with its part 21 downwards is. With such an arrangement, the inclined parts of the handles act as supports for the parts 20 and take one "large part of the pressure that is exerted on the handles and thus prevent them from bending or breaking off.

In some garden umbrellas of the type described above, the actual canopy is on the shaft with a hinge attached, which can then be held at an angle to the horizontal normal position. Can also be used on such umbrellas the present invention find application.
