<p>A tilting umbrella frame includes an upper shaft part (3) and a lower shaft part (1), the two parts being connected by a tilting joint to enable the upper part to tilt about an axis (11) with respect to the lower. A runner (5) slides on the lower shaft part, for spreading the cover of the umbrella into its unfurled configuration, and, once the umbrella is unfurled, for tilting the upper part. To this end a lever (21) connected to and arranged outside the upper shaft part is arranged to transmit a pushing force from the runner (5) to the upper shaft part under (3) as the runner is pushed beyond a certain point at or near the point corresponding to the completely unfurled configuration. The lower end of the lever (21) is held captive in the runner during tilting to enable the runner to pull the shaft back to the straight configuration.</p> |
