Abstract

The shield has a mast (1) with an end region (2) at which shield roof rungs (3) hinged by joints (4). A shield roof covering (5) is centrally held at the joints. A circumferentially elastic impact damper (6) is arranged at an end (2.1) of the mast by the shield roof covering, where the impact damper projects the joints. The impact damper is formed from a rigid carrier disk (7). The carrier disk has a circumferential edge (7.1) fitted with an elastic ring (8). The shield roof covering is fixed by a hole frame.

Description

The invention relates to a large umbrella according to the preamble of claim 1.

Apart from the fact that umbrella of the type mentioned are well known and in use, is after the DE 203 14 899 U1 a large screen of a special kind is known, as provided on this so-called, provided with vents string holder, which is also equipped with respect to the mast end with a vertically movable lid, so as to equalize the pressure between the top and bottom of the canopy cover to care. The clothing holder and also the lid project radially beyond the joints of the mast in a suitable manner hinged umbrella roof rungs.

After FR 2 869 509 A1 is a large screen according to the preamble of claim 1 is known.

The invention is based on the object to improve large umbrellas of the type mentioned in that after removal of such located in the closed position screens from their mast holder damage to the mast end is largely prevented.

This object is achieved with a large screen of the type mentioned according to the invention by the features cited in the characterizing part of claim 1.

In other words, according to this solution, the mast end is provided with a shock absorber, which, seen in plan view, the rung joints projecting radially, so that in case of impact on the ground, the mast end and thus the immediate No splinters in his area experienced any damage and they can not penetrate the textile umbrella fabric. Such giant umbrellas have not only a considerable weight, but these are also because of their mast length to a certain extent bulky, so after their removal from the mast holder top-heavy and beat careless and rough handling very often with her mast on the ground on what then in the course of time to damage the usually attached to a special retaining ring joints and the fabric can lead. When large umbrella after the above DE 203 14 399 U1 Incidentally, such impact loads are particularly critical because the telescopically guided in the mast end lid is a particularly vulnerable to lateral shock loads element for which there is a risk that it loses its function after any obliquely oriented impact deformation.

In concrete embodiment, the impact damper according to the invention is formed from an inelastic carrier disk whose peripheral edge is equipped with an elastic ring.

In addition, the impact damper can also form the hole holder for the canopy cover, taking into account that, apart from other possible configurations of the centric attachment of the canopy coverings, these usually have a central hole.

Under Lochfassung here is, if the hole edge of the fabric is not fixed in any other way to understand a mast end festlagerender support ring and a gegenzuspannender retaining ring whose function from the shock absorber in the aforementioned second embodiment is advantageously taken over.

The large umbrella according to the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing of exemplary embodiments.

It shows schematically

FIG. 1

on average, an embodiment of the large umbrella limited to the representation of the interest here end of the mast;

FIG. 2

a special embodiment.

The large screen consists in a known manner from a mast 1, at the end region 2 several umbrella roof bars 3 are hinged by means of joints 4 and on which the umbrella cover 5 is kept centrally taken. The joints can, as usual, be formed on a ring R fixed to the mast 1.

For such a large screen is now with reference to the FIG. 1 provided that at the end 2.1 of the mast 1 on the captured umbrella roof covering 5 a circumferentially elastic trained and, in particular, the joints 4 superior shock absorber 6 is arranged.

The FIG. 1 shows the embodiment of the invention, in which the impact damper 6 from an unelastsichen carrier disk 7 (for example, made of metal or suitable hard plastic) and their grooved peripheral edge 7.1 is equipped with an elastic ring 8, for a rubber ring in particular comes into consideration.

The in FIG. 1 illustrated profile section of the impact damper is not binding, that is, this can also be differently, erfindungsgemäβ profiled molded.

FIG. 2 shows the end of the closed screen in an inclined position, in which the end portion can hit the ground.

Incidentally, it is assumed that the canopy cover 5 has a central hole and the impact damper 6 belongs to the hole holder for the canopy cover 5 and this is clamped against a support plate 9.2.
