- auxiliary runner sleeve to have an inwardly directed release step equipped with camming slopes between the lower catch aperture which is made in the form ofa longitudinal slot.
- s satisfactory characteristic of the invention is that the release step cooperates with a control button on the spring of the catch in the stick.
- FIG. I is a side elevation of the opened umbrella
- FIG. 2 is a plan view of the umbrella cover

- FIG. 4 is a fragmentary side elevation of the umbrella in the open condition and in approximately actual size
- FIG. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the end of the umbrella stick provided with a handle
- FIG. 6 is a cross section through the handle end of the umbrella stick, with the stick in the shortened condition
- FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view similar to FIG. 4 showing the umbrella frame while it is being opened;
- FIG. 8 is a fragmentary enlarged view showing a detail of FIG. 7;
- FIG. 10 is a fragmentary view showing theumbrella stick with the main and auxiliary runners in a position corresponding to the open position of the umbrella;
- FIG. 11 is a longitudinal section through the handle end of the umbrella stick with the handle extended.
- FIG. 12 is a side elevation of the handle.
- the telescopic umbrella has a telescoping umbrella stick 1 consisting of tubular sections 2, 3 and 4.
- Section 4 has the smallest cross section.
- Section 4 is provided at its end with a generally cylindrical carrying handle 5. Its outer wall 5' is flared for the space-saving accommodation of ends 6 of dome ribs 6.
- Main runner 7 and auxiliary runner 8 slide on umbrella stick 1.
- Tubular section 2 carries a crown and cap 9.
- the dome ribs 6 are hinged to the crown 9.
- Each dome rib 6 consists of three sections of approximately the same length i.e. inner section 6a near the umbrella crown, center section 6b, and outer section 6c. These dome rib sections telescope into each other. Whereas a U-profile is preferred for sections 6a and 6b, section 6c is made of steel wire of circular cross section.
- each dome rib Associated with each dome rib is a support system consisting of the following components: auxiliary runner strut 10, main runner strut ll, auxiliary link 12, dome rib support strut 13. Parts 10, 11 and 13 haveU- shaped cross sections. Part 12 is made of steel wire.
- Strut 10 runs from auxiliary runner 8 and is hinged thereto.
- Strut 11 is hinged to main runner 7.
- the umbrella is provided with a locking device H in the stick 1. V
- the components of the locking device are the substantially lengthened auxiliary runner sleeve 17 and umbrella stick catch device 18 (FIG. 9).
- Sleeve 17 is provided with catch apertures lying linearly one behind the other, namely lower catch opening 19 towards the handle end and upper catch aperture 20 towards the umbrella crown. Both catch apertures are in the form of elongated slots. The lower slot is longer than the upper. All slot ends are rounded.
- a preferably hairpinshaped catch spring 21 Located in the interior of the umbrella stick is a preferably hairpinshaped catch spring 21, one leg of which lies against the inner wall of the relevant tube, while the other leg carries the two catches passing through the two tubular parts of the umbrella stick at that location, namely catch projection 23 and an additional control button 24 acting as a catch.
- the catch projections are of substantially cylindrical shape, but changes over at its end into a conical section. Parts 23 and 24 are of different lengths, catch projection 23 being longer.
- a release step 25 of sleeve 17 cooperating with the catches While it has the predominantly circular cross sectional shape of bush 17,it is pressed slightly inwards. It is also provided with camming slopes 26,27.
- the umbrella stick In order to open the umbrella, the umbrella stick is extended and the main runner is moved towards umbrella crown 9. The auxiliary runner accompanies this movement for a very short distance, until edge 28 of the upper catch aperture strikes catch projection 23.
- the locking device also has an advantageous action during the opening cycle.
- the auxiliary runner sleeve is also provided with a longitudinal slot 31, so that button 30 and nose 32 of this button can enter the relevant catch aperture in the umbrella stick, since the auxiliary runner sleeve passes through the main runner.
- This longitudinal slot 31 is offset by about one quarter of a circle from catch apertures 19 and 20.
- Umbrella handle is seated on a pin 33 which may be pushed into the hollow end of the umbrella stick.
- a guide piece 34 rigidly connected to tubular part 4, ensures parallel movement.
- the extended position is secured by means of a hairpin spring 35 having projections 36,37 staggered in the vertical plane, and snapping into the recesses 38 in the umbrella stick.
- the interior of the handle holds the telescoped support system to the umbrella stick.
- a telescopic umbrella having a stick made up of a plurality of telescoping sections, dome ribs hinged to a crown at one end of the stick, a handle at the other end of the stick, auxiliary and a main runner slidable on the stick, the auxiliary runner having an elongated sleeve portion adapted to pass through the main runner, spaced-apart axially aligned first and second closed slots provided in the sleeve, 2.
- An umbrella as defined in claim 1 wherein there is a hairpin spring provided in the stick mounting first control projection and a second abutment projection, spaced apart and aligned, the control projection being of smaller and shorter extent than the abutting projection and being on the side of the spring closer to the crown whereby when the umbrella is being closed, the closed end of the first slot and the second slot. easily ride over a control button causing the abutment projection to be pressed to pass over the projection.
