Description

 DESCRIPTION @a present invention conce @@ e a device for fixing a parasol to the ground. In a simple, fast and effortless way, this device makes it possible to firmly anchor the parasol in the ground and to resist taking in the wind. Thus installed, it is also possible to support various accessories such as a camera, camera, clothing, etc. on the obtained ferrule mast.

Usually, when a parasol is installed on the ground by a stake butted by a point, penetration into the ground is more or less difficult, depending on whether it is loose or hard. Several methods are used: either dig a hole by hand, insert the parasol stake, then cover with sand, or strongly activate the rotating foot to try to make it penetrate, or even strike on its upper end with a hammer or a stone to push it ...
he methods require physical strength, time and fati c; in addition, the stake can be easily damaged.

 In addition, at the slightest gust of wind, the parasol, badly fixed in the ground, takes off, with the risk of injuring people or property in the vicinity.

 As for objects that have been brought, such as camera, camera, clothes, often placed on the ground, this can lead to damage to these precious objects.

The device according to the invention allows to overcome these disadvantages i ents. It comprises:
- A standard tube fitted with a special drilling tip, at the lower end,
- At the upper end, a retractable crank arm fitted with its knob fixed on a standard commercialized part,
- A ring of standard diameter, identical to that of the tube is fixed at a non-limiting distance of the order of 10 centimeters from the upper end. On this ring rests a crazy handle.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
- Figure 1 shows an overview of the device of the invention at rest.

 - Figure 2 rer) res-ente in overview the device of the invention in use.

 - Figure 3 shows the special drill tip.

 - Figure 4 shows the standard tube.

 - Figure 5 shows the fixed ring.

 - Figure 6 shows the crazy handle.

 - Figure 7 shows the standard part sold.

 - Figure 8 shows the retractable crank arm with its knob.

 With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a tube (2) fitted at the bottom with a special drilling tip (1) allowing the ground to be penetrated without difficulty.

The head consists of:
- a loose / loose handle (4) on the stake tube and resting on a fixed ring (3),
- a retractable crank arm (6) provided at the end with a knob (/).

To drive in the stake:
- One uses the crazy handle (4) in one hand and the retractable crank arm (6) placed horizontally while holding the knob (7) with the other.

 A-insi, by a crank movement, one pushes without difficulty the stake in the ground, until one obtains the necessary lich ai: good maintenance (fi g. 2).

- The drilling completed, we lower the crank arm
(6), which provided with a cam on the internal end to the tube (2) blocks the tube / rod of the parasol which has been previously penetrated into the ground stake.

 - In the lowered position, the knob (7) of the crank arm (6) placed horizontally can be used as an accessory holder.

 - The removal is carried out in the same way, in reverse.
