Abstract: In an umbrella, particularly a standing umbrella, sunshade, garden umbrella or similar, with a frame, a roof structure and a canopy, where the roof rods (5) are linked to a pole element (2) bearing a cap (3) and moveable in a telescopic manner relative to the vertical pipe (1), and a slide (4), on which stretchers (6) linked to the roof rods (5) act flexibly, is moveable along the vertical pipe (1), the cap (3) and the slide (4) moving in opposite directions during opening and closing of the umbrella, and with at least one additional stretcher (8) arranged flexibly above the slide (4) between the umbrella pipe (1) and a roof rod (5), the slide (4) being fitted with a locking device (12) with which it can be locked in its upper position and the canopy can be tensioned, it is envisaged that the locking device (12) works in conjunction with a retaining device (13) located on the cap (3) or the moveable pole element (2) to enable simple manual opening of the umbrella and stretching of the canopy, particularly for

Abstract: In the case of an umbrella, in particular a large umbrella, garden umbrella, stand umbrella and the like, having an umbrella pole (2), a pole part (3) which is displaceable telescopically with the umbrella pole (2) and on which roof rods (5) are articulated by means of a crown (4), and having supporting struts (7) between a runner (6), displaceable along the umbrella pole (2), and the roof rods (5), as well as having a roof covering (21), the movements of the displaceable pole part (3) and of the runner (6) taking place in forced dependence on each other and the displaceable pole part (3) being in connection with a threaded spindle mounted in the umbrella pole (2) and the runner (6) being connected to the pole part (3) by a flexible drawing element led over a deflection roller, to produce a kind of pagoda shape there is provided a further displaceable crown (20) as upper crown, on which the roof covering (21), fastened to the roof rod ends, is attached, and the upper crown (20) has stay crutches (22) or the l

Abstract: This disclosure relates to an umbrella having a support tube uppermost end portion into which is telescopically received an umbrella shaft carrying a crown to which is pivotally connected cover ribs, a sleeve in external telescopic relationship to the support tube, a plurality of struts pivotally connected between the sleeve and the cover ribs, a threaded spindle within the umbrella shaft threaded relative to a threaded nut fixed to the umbrella shaft, and a flexible element, such as a cable, rope or wire, having ends fixed to the sleeve and to the umbrella shaft and being guided over a pulley carried by the umbrella shaft.
