Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément de protection contre le soleil ou les intempéries (1) en forme d'éventail, comportant des montants (2, 3, 7, 7') s'étendant radialement, les montants (2, 3, 7, 7') étant déplacés entre un état fermé et un état déployé de l'éventail (1) au moyen d'un élément de précontrainte (5). Lors de la fermeture (13) de l'éventail, une énergie d'entraînement est stockée dans l'élément de précontrainte (5) et est ensuite utilisée pour entraîner le déploiement de l'éventail (1). Un angle d'inclinaison de l'éventail (1) autour d'un axe de pivotement peut également être réglé par actionnement du dispositif de réglage (9), ce réglage étant précontraint par un autre élément de précontrainte (10).
