Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of devices for shelter against the sun's rays and relates more particularly to a parasol of the type with a folding head.
  • the invention also relates to a method of folding the head of such a parasol.
  • parasols are known, that is to say devices provided with a foot intended to be fixed to the ground, and bearing a head at a distance from the ground.
  • the head typically consists of a plurality of ribs extending radially around a central axis, to which is fixed a fabric capable of at least partially filtering the sun's rays when it is struck by said rays.
  • the ribs are generally fixed in an articulated manner, on the one hand, to the foot, and on the other hand, to a sliding ring, fitted on the foot, capable of occupying two extreme positions. According to a first extreme position of the ring, the ribs are folded over the foot, as is the canvas, and according to a second extreme position the ribs are deployed radially around the foot, exerting forces on the canvas in order to stretch it and to give it the shape of a spherical cap. When the canvas is stretched, it projects a shaded surface on the ground, thus forming a shelter from the rays of the sun.
  • wind resistance is meant the surface on which pressure forces are exerted by the wind. These pressure forces generate moments of force on the whales. These moments of force can generate mechanical stresses in the parasol head, and cause damage to said head due to the low resistance of the ribs to mechanical stresses.
  • the pressure forces exerted on the parasol's fabric can, if the mast is poorly fixed to the ground or if said forces are sufficiently large, generate a lift phenomenon displacing the pole. parasol in the direction of the wind, posing obvious safety problems.
  • Parasols are disclosed, for example, in documents WO 2005/084480 A1 , US 2011/099692 A1 , US 6,202,659 B1 , US 4 836 232 A or FR 2 700 802 A1 .
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a parasol suitable for use when the wind is blowing, without presenting danger problems or deteriorating.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a parasol capable of projecting a shaded surface onto the ground, which can be fully exploited by a user.
  • An additional objective of the present invention is to provide a parasol which is quick and easy to use.
  • the present invention relates, according to a first aspect, to a parasol comprising a foot comprising a mast, and a head, integral with one end of said mast, comprising a fabric capable of filtering at least part of the sun's rays and a support structure. of said canvas.

  • the support structure comprises a first arch closed on itself, called a “peripheral arch”, forming part of a plane in the deployed configuration of the support structure, and the canvas is fixed inside the peripheral arch. such that said canvas is stretched inside said peripheral arch in the deployed configuration of the support structure.
  • the support structure also comprises a second arch, called an “internal arch”, closed on itself, the internal arch being arranged inside the peripheral arch, contiguous at a point of internal tangency, and substantially coplanar with it. the latter when the support structure occupies its deployed configuration.
  • the parasol When the support structure occupies its deployed configuration, the parasol is in the position of use, that is to say the fabric is able to project a shaded surface on the ground.
  • the parasol head advantageously has a substantially planar geometric shape, capable of being placed substantially parallel to the direction of the wind.
  • the head thus placed therefore has little or no wind resistance, the wind pressure forces on said head are therefore absent or relatively low. Thanks to these characteristics of the parasol head, the parasol can be used when the wind is blowing, without presenting any danger problems or deteriorating.
  • the internal arch makes it possible to provide mechanical resistance against the forces exerted on the support structure, in particular generated by the wind following its direction.
  • the invention also meets the following characteristics, implemented separately or in each of their technically operative combinations.
  • the peripheral arch is elastically deformable between a position, called “free position”, in which it is deployed so as to stretch the canvas, and a position called “constrained position”, in which it is folded over on itself in a substantially planar conformation.
  • the free position of the peripheral arch corresponds to the deployed configuration of the support structure, and the constrained position of said peripheral arch corresponds to the folded configuration of the support structure.
  • the peripheral arch being elastically deformable, once deformed, it tends to resume the shape it occupied before deformation and generates forces for this purpose.
  • the mechanical stresses to which the peripheral arch is subjected in the constrained position oppose these forces so as to cancel them and to maintain said arch in the constrained position.
  • the peripheral arch is therefore adapted to resume its initial shape spontaneously when it is no longer subjected to mechanical stresses, and therefore to deploy and stretch the canvas. Therefore, it is easy and fun to put the parasol in the use position.
  • the canvas is deployed faster than that of state-of-the-art parasols.
  • the parasol is configured such that, when the peripheral hoop occupies its constrained position, said peripheral hoop is elastically deformed so as to fold the canvas back on itself and to have a substantially planar shape.
