Said umbrella comprises a runner (4) axially slidable along the umbrella pole (1) between a folded position in which the ribs (3, 3') can be folded against the pole, and an unfurled position in which the runner engages the ribs and holds them in the extended position. For this purpose, the runner comprises an upper frusto-conical portion (46) engageable with the ends (35) of the reinforcing portions (31) of the ribs.
