Definitions
- the invention relates to a sail umbrella such as the one known from US5642747, apt to be utilized on the beaches, in the gardens, in the bar-restaurants in the open and in the places by hawkers, therewith a place can be sheltered from the sun and rain.
- the umbrellas currently known have sizes which vary upon varying the use thereof and they can have a covering which can reach the size of few squared metres.
- Such covering can be circularly shaped, polygonally shaped and, in case of bigger umbrellas, they are usually rectangularly shaped with four stretching ribs.
- the known umbrellas have the covering structure similar to a dome or recalling the pyramidal shape.
- the bigger ones are frequently equipped, towards the ends of the stretching ribs, with hooking points whereon some cords are fastened to be anchored to the pedestal, to the floor or to the ground so as to prevent the umbrellas from lifting when they are stressed by the wind.
- the bigger umbrellas the ones adopted by some bars, restaurants and hawkers, apart from the rope with pulley for lifting the collar, the ribs-counteribs and the covering canvas, have also auxiliary ropes for anchoring to the ground both because beneath them there can be products and goods which cannot easily be put back in protected rooms in short time, thus requiring that the umbrella be left open to protect the products for a prolonged time, and because the wind, even when low, exerts on the same considerable stresses which could cause the lifting thereof and, considering the weight, a disastrous fall-down.
- Such coverings are not suitable to be utilized by hawkers too, each thereof has his/her own available limited space which has to be uniformly protected by a single covering canvas.
- An object of the present invention is to implement a structure shaped like an umbrella with a single covering canvas, able to have different widths in order to cover reduced surfaces, as it is required on the beaches, and bigger surfaces up to the ones required by the hawkers.
- Another object of the invention is to implement a covering structure which could have a single supporting pole, in one case suitable to be supported by a pedestal, without requiring hooks or ropes for anchoring to the ground, in another case suitable to be supported by high structures thereto the supporting pole would be appended.
- Still another object is to implement a covering structure very resistant to the wind action, even when it is relatively strong, so as to suggest to close the covering only when the wind becomes intense.
- Another object is to implement a covering structure the activation thereof, in order to bring it from the closed state to the open state and viceversa, is relatively simple and the operation thereof can be executed even by a single person.
- the invention which has allowed obtaining such results implements in a structure comprising:
- the canvas upward folding, at the folding rib inflected by the activation stay rod, allows the continuous exhaust of the air which is pushed by the wind under the covering itself.
- the covering orients so that its jib, acting as rudder, arranges in a direction parallel to the wind.
- the covering is stressed by the wind with two forces, one thereof pushes the umbrella towards the ground, the other one pushes the umbrella in the direction of the wind itself so that it bends until reaching the new equilibrium state, without exerting violent stresses and vibrations on the structure supporting the covering.
- Another advantage of the described structure derives from the fact that it does not require additional ropes anchoring to the ground (floor), therefore the space around the pole, when it is fastened to the ground, does not require additional anchoring.
- Another advantage derives from the fact that the exhaust of the air pushed under the covering canvas is continuous, therefore if the wind is constant, the covering does not oscillate, thus allowing to place such coverings even very near between them, as it is requested during summer on the beaches and in the places or streets wherein the hawkers' markets take place, without said coverings bump one into each other or damage mutually.
- Another advantage derives from the fact that the wind action compresses the canvas towards the ground, by averting the danger of detaching the umbrella from the seat supporting it and thus the dangerous fall-down thereof to the ground, thus allowing the users having many umbrellas to start closing them with much tranquillity.
- the invention consists in an umbrella therewith open spaces are sheltered mainly from the sun and the rain. It comprises a supporting pole 1, a plurality of ribs 21 converging onto a point 3 of the pole 1 and to which the covering canvas 4 is anchored, means 5 apt to bring the ribs 21 from the closed state, that is from the position wherein they are almost parallel to the pole 1 or however oriented towards the floor, to the open state wherein they spread the covering 4 to cover a space and protect it from the sun and the rain.
- orienting jib 9 fastened to the covering canvas 4 at the rib 21 destined to inflect upwards and to the stay rod 6.
- Such functional structure comprises the supporting pole 1 characterized in that it is usually axially revolving on the means supporting it to facilitate the orientation of the umbrella when it is in the open state and in presence of wind 10.
- the ring nut 3 or other equivalent means, thereto the ribs 21 are hinged whereon the covering canvas 4 is fastened, is fastened onto said pole 1, at an appropriate distance from the top thereof. Therefore, the ribs 21 rotate on said ring nut 3 when they pass from the open state to the closed state and viceversa.
- Said pole 1 in the preferred embodiment solution in the case wherein the umbrella is used on the beach, is destined to couple on the lower side to supporting means on the ground, not reproduced in the drawings, thus it has a length appropriate for the purpose, usually around 200-230 centimetres.
- the pole 1 is coupled on the upper side to the supporting means, not reproduced in the drawings, for example to cantilever bars at 250-300 centimetres from the ground.
- the umbrella is widely used in bars and restaurants on the open.
- the pole 1 has a length suitable for receiving the sliding ring nut whereon, in the example of figure 6, the counter-ribs 11 are hinged, or in another solution the inflection points wherefrom the stay-rods 5 emerge which stress the ribs 21, towards the middle 2 thereof, in order to pull them towards the open state or to release them towards the closed state.
- the means 15, thereto the stay-rods 5 are clamped which support the said ribs 21 in the open state, as well as the activation rope or stay rod 6 are placed.
- the ribs 21 are made of wood or metal and at least one thereof is able to inflect upwards to create the orienting rudder and the escape route of the air pushed under the umbrella itself, as reproduced in the figures 3, 4 and 5.
- Said sliding point 8 is placed at a level at least higher than the intersection point of the axis of the pole 1 with the line tangent to the rib to be inflected when it is in open position, but not inflected, with the tangent point on the attachment point 7 of the activation stay-rod 6, placed towards the end of the said rib to be inflected.
- the activation rope 6 is leaning downwards in order to be grasped and activated by the user.
- Said rope 6 is suitable to be anchored in a stretched position onto the pole 1 in a clamping point 15 which can be reached by the user.
- the jib 9 is placed, that is a voile fastened to the covering canvas 4 and, on the free side, coupled at least in some points to the activation stay-rod 6 in order to be brought and kept in a stretched configuration, particularly with the corresponding rib 21 bent upwards.
- the orienting jib 9 is shaped so as to recall the triangular shape and, thus, it is so as to create a surface resistant to the wind, until arranging parallel thereto, by making the covering to rotate.
- the covering canvas 4 has a prolonged shape, that is it recalls the rectangular shape.
- the umbrella has four ribs 21, with an almost equal length between them.
- the orienting jib 9 causes the umbrella to rotate as long as the jib is oriented in the wind direction.
