Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for operating the opening and closing of a parasol.
  • the locking system of the sliding sleeve in the high position is not very practical or easy to use.
  • This system has the drawback of not allowing the parasol to be opened and closed without being hampered by the movement of the whales.
  • the user is forced to pass under the ribs to release the cord from the jamming device.
  • FR-A-2 520 211 describes a deployable parasol which can be controlled by a hoist. In this parasol, the user is also hampered by the deployment or folding of the whales when the parasol is opened or closed.
  • the present invention aims to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device intended mainly for parasols used by individuals, in particular for garden, which allows the parasol to be easily and quickly maneuvered, by providing a completely secure holding of the parasol in position. open and being simple, light, inexpensive, easy to set up even on parasols not originally intended to receive it and very easy to use.
  • the device according to the invention is of the aforementioned type comprising two added parts, one on the sleeve which slides along the mast and the other on the mast, at the top of the latter, provided with pulleys around which a cord is intended to be engaged to form a hoist, and a cord clamping device.
  • At least the lower part comprises a groove for wedging the cord, of vertical axis and situated in the extension of one of the pulleys of this part, this groove being arranged in such a way that it allows free sliding of the cord when the latter is held in a substantially radial direction relative to the parasol mast, and that it jams the cord when the free end thereof is brought into a substantially vertical position, that is to say -to say in the extension of the hoist strands that form the cord.
  • the cord is engaged around the pulleys that the parts comprise to form said hoist and is then engaged around the pulley of the lower part opposite which the wedging groove is arranged.
  • the user need only grasp the free end of the cord which protrudes from the lower part of the canvas and pull it in a substantially radial direction relative to the mast.
  • This traction allows the user to move away from the parasol during the opening movement thereof, and therefore, not to be hampered by the deployment of the whales and the canvas.
  • the hoist that forms the device allows very easy opening of the parasol, by anyone, even when it is large enough.
  • the cord When, at the end of the opening, the traction exerted on it is released, the cord naturally engages in the groove that the lower part comprises, this engagement being favored by the height position of the sleeve. It then suffices for the user, to achieve a completely reliable locking of the parasol in the open position, to push the cord completely into the groove, bringing the latter in a vertical position, in line with the strands of the hoist. For safety, the end of the cord is then moored to a cleat that includes the lower part.
  • the user can, thanks to the invention, keep away from the parasol and is not hampered by the movement of the whales.
  • the upper and lower parts of the device are identical and attached to the parasol while being arranged head to tail relative to each other.
  • the groove in the upper part allows the cord to be trapped. If the pulleys include mooring cleats, the cleat on the upper part is used to secure the cord. Thanks to this wedging, this cleat does not itself undergo the forces generated by the weight of the whales and the canvas and only serves to hold the end of the cord in the wedging groove.
  • the walls of the part delimiting the groove comprise ribs arranged angularly with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cord, to increase the jamming effect of the latter.
  • each cleat is shaped to be able to wedge the cord between it and the wall of the room to which it is attached.
  • FIG. 1 represents a device 2 for operating the opening and closing of a parasol 3.
  • This device 2 comprises two identical parts 4, attached, being arranged head to tail relative to one another, one on the sleeve 5 which slides along the mast 6 of the parasol 3 and the other on the mast 6, at the top of it.
  • the parts 4 are provided with pulleys 10, around which a cord 11 is engaged to form a hoist 12, and cleats 13 for mooring the ends of the cord 11.
  • Each part 4 further comprises a groove 15 for wedging the cord 11, with a vertical axis and situated in the extension of one of the pulleys 10 of the parts 4.
  • the walls of the parts 4 delimiting the grooves 15 comprise ribs 16 arranged angularly relative to the longitudinal axis of the cord 11.
  • each cleat 13 has inclined lower edges, so as to be able to wedge the cord 11 between it and the wall of the part 4 to which it is attached.
  • the cleat 13 of the upper part 4 is used for fixing by jamming one of the ends of the cord 11, the latter comprising a stop knot 11a.
  • the cord 11 is then engaged in the groove 15 of the upper part 4 and then around the pulleys 10 to form the hoist 12.
  • the groove 15 makes it possible to wedge the cord 11 between the cleat 13 and the pulleys 10.
  • the cleat 13 does not itself does not undergo the forces generated by the weight of the whales 20 and the canvas 21 of the parasol 3 and only serves to hold the end of the cord 11 in the wedging groove 15.
  • the ribs 16 make it possible to increase the jamming effect of the cord 11 in the groove 15.
  • the cord 11 is, lastly, engaged around the pulley 10 of the lower part 4 situated opposite the wedging groove 15.
  • This traction allows the user to move away from the parasol 3 during the opening movement of the latter and, therefore, not to be hampered by the deployment of the whales 20 and the canvas 21.
  • the hoist 12 allows very easy opening, by any person, even when the umbrella is large enough.
  • the cord 11 When, at the end of opening, the action exerted on it is released, the cord 11 naturally engages in the groove 15 of the lower part 4, this engagement being favored by the height position of the sleeve 5. It suffices then to the user, to achieve a completely reliable locking of the parasol in the open position, to fully insert the cord 11 into the groove 15, bringing the latter in the vertical position, that is to say more or less in the extension of the hoist strands 12. For safety, the end 11b of the cord 11 is then moored to the cleat 13 that comprises the lower part 4.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to provide a device 2 intended mainly for parasols 3 used by individuals, in particular for garden umbrellas, which allows the parasol to be easily and quickly maneuvered, while ensuring that it is completely secure. in the open position and being simple, light, inexpensive, easy to set up even on parasols 3 not originally intended to receive this device, and very easy to use, by anyone.
  • the parts 4 have a very moderate cost price since, being identical, they can be obtained from the same mold.
  • the upper part 4 may not include a groove 15 and the cord 11 may simply be moored to the cleat 13, then disposed laterally with respect to it, the cord 11 going directly from the cleat 13 to the pulleys 10.
