Definitions
- the invention relates to a standing umbrella for use as a parasol, garden umbrella, market umbrella, etc.
- This umbrella has a central standpipe with an umbrella frame, and an umbrella cloth as a roof covering that spans the roof struts in the open state.
- a particularly developed umbrella has become known from PCT / DE92 / 00155. It has three crowns, namely an end crown, which forms the tip of the umbrella and moves upwards when the umbrella is closed, a crown that is fixed in height and is firmly attached to the standpipe and for coordinating the closing and opening movements of the umbrella rod is necessary, as well as a rotor crown to which the shield struts are articulated and which can be moved up and down on the standpipe. Additional auxiliary struts are arranged between the roof struts and the fixed crown, which also take on a coordination task when opening and closing the umbrella. During the opening movement, the two movable crowns move towards each other, i.e.
- a standing umbrella with a standpipe, a umbrella rod made of roof struts, which are articulated on a movable end crown, which sits at the upper end of a draw tube, which is guided in the standpipe in a longitudinally displaceable manner, further with support struts, which have their upper end connected to the Roof struts are hinged to support them and are hinged at their lower ends to a rotor crown that can be moved on the standpipe, as well as auxiliary struts for coordinating the opening and closing movement of the roof and support struts, which are between a stationary crown, which sits at the upper end of the standpipe, and the support struts are arranged in an articulated manner,
- this standing umbrella being characterized by the fact that a steel or gas spring is present in the standpipe for the partially automatic opening and closing of the umbrella, such that the end crown is partially automatic, that is to say with little effort by moving a roof strut, by opening the umbrella in their under position and vice versa can
- Figure 1 The umbrella with umbrella rod and umbrella cloth seen from the side, in the open and closed state;
- FIG. 1 The umbrella linkage seen from the side, the screen is shown in the open state on the left side of the standpipe and in the closed state on the right side of the standpipe;
- Figure 3 A possible arrangement of the gas pressure spring in the standpipe
- Figure 4 A cross section of the standpipe at the level of the bolt which passes through the standpipe and gas spring;
- Figure 5 The knee lever for tensioning the umbrella cloth in a loose state
- Figure 6 The knee lever for tensioning the umbrella cloth in a tensioned state.
- the screen is shown seen from the side, once in the closed and once in the open position. It has a standpipe 1 which has a stationary crown 2 at its upper end. In the standpipe 1 there is a draw tube 3 which is displaceable in the standpipe 1 and carries an end crown 4 at the top.
- a running crown 5 is arranged on the standpipe 1, below the stationary crown 3, on which support struts 6 for the roof struts 7 of the screen are supported by being articulated on this running crown 5.
- the crown 5 moves upwards and at the same time the end crown 4, on which the roof struts 7 are articulated, moves downwards. This countermovement takes place due to the geometry of the umbrella rod, using auxiliary struts 8 are arranged between the stationary crown 2 and the support struts 6.
- the roof struts 7 carry the umbrella cloth 25.
- the umbrella rod of this parachute is shown more clearly. It consists of the standpipe 1, into which a pull pipe 3 is inserted from above, which is guided in the standpipe 1 so that it can be moved up and down. At the upper end of the standpipe 1, a stationary crown 2 is attached, on which auxiliary struts 8 are articulated. At the upper end of the draw tube 3 is the end crown 4, to which the roof struts 7 are articulated. The support struts 6 for supporting the roof struts 7 are articulated on a rotor crown 5 which can be moved up and down on the standpipe 1. To open and open the screen, the end crown 4 must be moved downwards, or the rotor crown 5 must be moved upwards.
- the geometry of the struts 6, 7, 8 causes the umbrella to close or the roof struts 7 to fold.
- the force can be applied, for example, by pulling the end crown 4 down by means of a rope, which results in the umbrella is opened, or one grips a single roof strut 7 at its end and swivels it outwards and upwards, whereby the end crown 4 moves downwards and the rotor crown 5 upwards.
- the rotor crown 5 can also be moved upwards.
- the roof struts 7 are spread outwards and the end crown 4 moves downward.
- REPLACEMENT SHEET (RULE 28)
- parasols are manufactured in diameters of 3.8m, 4.4m, 5m, 5.6m and larger, each in a gradation of 60cm.
- opening and closing the umbrella by hand is difficult. That is why the standing umbrella presented here has a steel or gas spring for partially or semi-automatic opening and closing.
- This semi-automatic standing umbrella works with a mechanical spring or a gas spring.
- the upper end crown 4 is actively pulled downwards in the direction of the standpipe 1, and as a result the rotor crown 5 moves upwards on the standpipe 1 and the roof struts 7 are spread apart.
- a gas pressure spring 9 is accommodated in the standpipe 1, as is shown in FIG. 3.
- the gas pressure spring 9 sits here with its cylinder 11 against the top and its piston rod 10 extends towards the bottom and is connected at its end to the draw tube 3.
- the gas pressure cylinder 11 is anchored to the standpipe 1 by means of a bolt 12.
- At the lower end of the piston rod 10 there is also a bolt 13, via which the piston rod 10 is firmly connected to the draw tube 3.
- a cross-section shows how this bolt 12 passes through the standpipe 1, runs through the slots in the drawtube 3 and holds the gas pressure cylinder 11 so that it is firmly connected to the standpipe 1.
- a toggle lever mechanism is provided for this purpose, which is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the crown 5 runs upwards and to tension the This skin 5 must be stretched a few centimeters further up the roof skin or the umbrella cloth.
- a lever 15 is articulated on this crown 5, which, viewed from the standpipe 1, is angled slightly outwards.
- the crown 5 is shown below the drawing as seen from above.
- this carries a grip ball 16.
- a toggle lever 17 is articulated, which is spring-loaded by means of a spring 18, so that it is always held in the angled position shown.
- this toggle lever 17 has a cam 19 which fits into a number of holes 20 which are provided in a vertically extending row on the standpipe 1. However, only a single such hole 20 is shown in the drawing. If the screen is practically open due to the gas spring or mechanical spring, you take it
- Standpipe 1 is applied. In this position, a split pin can be inserted into the hole 21 on the lever 15, which is also through a corresponding hole 22 on the
- the lever 15 can simply with its toggle lever 17 with a higher hole 20 on the standpipe 1 in
