Abstract: The invention relates to a folding reflector (1) having shade spokes (5) that are annularly hinged on a bearing body (7), by which spokes a reflecting cover (3) can be mounted. The reflector is characterized in that the ends of the shade spokes (5) that turned toward the linkage thereof extend beyond said linkage respectively and in that, due to the effect on said sections (9) of the shade spokes (5) extending beyond the linkage, said sections can be moved into the mounting position and back.
