Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of the sunshade apparatus according to the invention. The sunshade apparatus 1 has amast 3 comprised ofmast elements 5 with a shaft-shaped module 7 connected to themast 3. The module is located in one of the receiving spaces which are found in the mast elements. To themodule 7 is connected amain arm 9 which is connected with afirst end 11 to themodule 7 hingeable around a horizontal axis. Inside the module can slide asliding element 13 to which anauxiliary arm 15 with anend 17 is hingeably connected. Theother end 19 of theauxiliary arm 15 is hingeably connected to themain arm 9. The main arm is connected to the module at a distance from the upper end of themodule 7 and thesliding element 13 is located above the link point of themain arm 9 and themodule 7. - A
sunshade 23 is suspended from the free,second end 21 of themain arm 9. The sunshade has a sunshade fabric (the sunshade fabric is not shown inFig. 1 for clarity) andsunshade ribs 25 connected to the fabric. At an end of one of the sunshade ribs the rib is connected to themain arm 9 by means of acoupling element 27. This prevents thesunshade 23 from turning and hinging relative to the main arm. - Inside the
module 7 there is a displacement mechanism for displacing thesliding element 13 in the module. The displacement mechanism has arotary spindle 29 with which the sliding element cooperates. The spindle can be operated at thebottom 31. By moving thespindle 29 in the right direction the slidingelement 13 moves downwards. As a result themain arm 9 is unfolded via theauxiliary arm 15. During the unfolding of the main arm thesunshade 23 will open. By turning thespindle 29 in the opposite direction themain arm 9 will be folded and thesunshade 23 will close. - The
sunshade 23 opens automatically because acable 33 is fixed with one end to themain arm 9 and with the other end to asub-crown 35 to which the sunshade rib supports 37 are hingeably connected with one end. The other end of the sunshade rib supports 37 is hingeably connected to thesunshade ribs 25. -
Fig. 2 shows a detail of thesliding element 13 of the sunshade apparatus. Thehinge axis 39 of theend 17 of theauxiliary arm 15 with thesliding element 13 passes through the centre line of thespindle 29 as a result of which the load on the mast element is minimised during the unfolding and folding action of the main arms. -
Fig. 3 shows a plan view of amast 3 comprised of fourmast elements 5 of the sunshade apparatus. Eachmast element 5 is formed by a section having a centre portion and two side portions, the side portions being at right angles to each other. Themast elements 5 are detachably connected to each other and each have areceiving space 41.Fig. 4 shows themast 3 with amodule 7 in one of thereceiving spaces 41, which module is connected to a respective mast element andFig. 5 shows themast 3 with amodule 7 in each one of thereceiving spaces 41. - In lieu of four mast elements the mast can also be comprised of fewer mast elements.
Figs. 6 and 7 show two examples of this.Fig. 6 shows amast 43 comprised of threemast elements 5, which mast is fixed to a corner of abuilding 45 andFig. 7 shows amast 47 comprised of onemast element 5, which mast is installed in a corner of abuilding 49. - A
plate 51, which is connected to abase plate 53 and can hinge around a horizontal axis, is fixed to the bottom of themast 3, seeFig. 8 . Thebase plate 53 is mounted on a base 55 which is placed in the ground. As a result, themast 3 can be lowered to the ground in order to simplify the fitting of a module or its exchange.Fig. 9 shows themast 3 in tilted position. - The sunshade apparatus further includes a
ground tube 57 which has a cylindrical hole, seeFig. 10 . Thebase 55 is inserted in theground tube 57 and is pivotable around a vertical axis. Themast 3 with the sunshades can thus be turned to follow the movements of the sun. - In order to keep the sunshade fabric taut, the free ends of the sunshade ribs have spring elements.
Fig. 11 shows the free end of asunshade rib 25 with a spring element in opened position. The spring element is comprised of apin 59 which is slidable into and out of a hole in the sunshade rib, thepin 59 having asphere 61 at the end as well as ahelical spring 63.Fig. 12 shows the end of thesunshade rib 25 with the spring element in contracted position. - Albeit the invention has been described in the foregoing with reference to the drawings, it should be pointed out that the invention is not by any manner or means restricted to the embodiments shown in the drawings. The invention also extends over any embodiments deviating from the embodiments shown in the drawing Figures within the spirit and scope defined by the claims. For example, the mast may also be comprised of a single mast element with the mast element being formed by a star-shaped section. Alternatively, it is possible for one or more other modules in lieu of sunshade modules to be connected to the mast, such as for example modules with a tabletop, dustbin or sound box fixed to it.
