It is noted that, in the variant according to which the umbrella comprises a fabric and whales, this base is the central piece from which the whales extend radially to stretch the fabric. Of course, it is understood here that this opening in the base has dimensions slightly greater than the dimensions of the mast to allow the base (and therefore the umbrella) to slide along the mast.
  • the base is thus configured to slide along the mast between at least a first position, called sun protection, in which the base is located near the first end, and a second position, said object protection, wherein the base is located near the second end so that the umbrella is adapted to cover at least partially one or more objects placed on the ground.
  • the parasol according to the present invention comprises a locking means adapted to allow the blocking of the base relative to the mast, this locking being possible at any height of the mast, from the first end to the second end.
  • the umbrella according to the present invention comprises an actuating means adapted to mechanically actuate the locking means.
  • the actuating means is offset relative to the base of the umbrella to allow remote actuation of the locking means.
  • the user can operate the blocking means without having to stand near the mast.
  • the actuating means is accessible at the level of the upper part of the umbrella, the latter being able to access to the actuating means in particular without being in contact with the fabric.
  • the actuating means is an elongated rod and one end, said proximal, is fixed directly or indirectly with the locking means and the other end, said distal, is free and preferably exceeds the umbrella so that the user is easy to access.
  • this rod extends radially relative to the base.
  • the adjustment of the height is thus done by actuating (pushing or pulling the actuating means relative to the mast).
