Large parasol, comprising spreading mechanism working with radial acting pulling forces and specifically designed upper ring

摘要

A first ring (18) holding eight ribs (20) is attached to the upper pipe (16) of the central column (10) of the parasol and a second ring (26) also holding eight ribs (28) to the lower segment (12). The upper ring (18) is made of two star-shaped metal elements positioned on top of one another and provided with rib insertion gaps. When a band (38) is removed from the folded cover the upper area of the parasol is moved halfway downwards by the forces of gravity. The spreading process is completed by pulling at a handle (36) until the upper ring (18) touches a stop (32) at the column (10).
