Definitions

  • the invention relates to a parasol comprising a column which is provided with a base and has attached thereto a collapsible canopy, provided with a heating device mounted on the column.
  • a patio umbrella with a column fixed in a dining table, provided with a radiant heater for patio heating fixed in the column.
  • the radiant heater in the known patio parasol is provided with a chimney on its upper side which extends through an opening in the top of the canopy.
  • the canopy is stiffened by ribs which are pivotally attached to a hood over the heater.
  • the heating device is displaceable along the column between a lowest position in state of rest, wherein the canopy is collapsed, and a highest position in operating state, wherein the canopy is opened out.
  • the heating device is manually displaceable along the column.
  • the parasol is preferably provided with displacing means for displacing the heating device.
  • the displacing means comprise a rotatable screw spindle which extends parallel to the column and which is mounted on its underside on the column and screwed into a spindle nut rigidly coupled to the heating device.
  • the displacing means comprise telescopic elements extending round the column.
  • the displacing means comprise a cable which is trained over a pulley at the top of the column and which is connected on its one end to the heating device and on its other end to a winding device which is connected to the column and which can be locked for instance with a ratchet.
  • the displacing means comprise a drive motor.
  • the heating device in a parasol according to the invention is optionally an electric heating element or a gas or petrol or oil heater, and will therefore be provided with respectively a flexible electricity cable or a flexible gas or liquid conduit.
  • the column is therefore provided at least partially with a slot in longitudinal direction for receiving a flexible conduit in the column.
  • the invention provides particular advantage in an embodiment in which the base comprises a housing for receiving the heating device in the state of rest.
  • the base comprises in a favourable embodiment a housing for receiving a gas tank.
  • a parasol according to the invention is preferably provided with switching means for switching off the heating device when the parasol is collapsed, so as to prevent unsafe situations in the case of improper use.
  • the parasol is provided with locking means for locking the canopy in the operating state of the heating device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a parasol 10 with a canopy 3 of a usual type on a column 2 which is inserted into a base 1.
  • a gas heater 4 which is slidable round column 2 and which is provided with gas from a gas tank 9 from which a conduit 14 is carried along column 2 to heater 4.
  • Heater 4 is locked with a pin 12 which protrudes through a transverse bore 13 in column 2. Since a plurality of transverse bores 13 are arranged in column 2, the height of heater 4 is adjustable.
  • Column 2 passes through a central opening in heater 4, wherein the cross-section of this opening is larger than that of column 2, so that a substantially free space is formed between heater 4 and column 2, thus preventing column 2 from becoming overheated.
  • Canopy 3 is manufactured from a strongly water-repellent material, for instance a 100% polyester cloth, which is protected from excessively high temperatures of heater 4 by a hood 11 over heater 4.
  • Fig. 2 shows a parasol 20 with a column 2 which is inserted into a base which forms the housing 8 (shown cut-away) for a gas tank 9.
  • Heater 4 is mounted on the top side of a number of telescopic elements 5 which extend round column 2.
  • the telescopic elements 5 are telescoped, and heater 9 rests with its concave-shaped underside 15 in a corresponding convex-shaped upper part 16 of housing 8, and the gas conduit (not shown) between tank 9 and heater 4, which in the operating state extends through hollow column 2, is accommodated wholly in housing 8.
  • the housing 8 is provided with handles 17.
  • Fig. 3 shows a parasol 30 with a column 2 which is inserted into a base which forms the housing 8 (shown cut-away) for a gas tank 9.
  • Heater 4 is displaceable along column 2 by means of a cable (not shown) which is trained over a pulley (not shown) at the top of column 2 and which is connected at its one end to heater 4 and at its other end to a hand winch 6 with ratchet connected to column 2.
  • a longitudinal slot 7 in column 2 enables the gas conduit to be carried between heater 4 and gas tank 9 through the interior of the column at any height of heater 4, wherein housing 8 provides sufficient space to accommodate the gas conduit in the state of rest, wherein heater 4 rests with its convex-shaped underside 15 in the correspondingly formed concave-shaped upper part 16 of housing 8.
  • the housing 8 is provided with wheels 18.
  • Fig. 4 shows a part of a column 2 to which respectively a gas heater 4 and a heater hood 11 are mounted using slippers 19.
  • Gas heater 4 takes the form of a flat cylinder with upper surface 21, a lower surface 22 provided with a gas connection 25 and a perforated outer cylinder casing 23, around which a web 24 of a nickel alloy is wrapped by way of glow body.
  • an opening is formed in the centre, this opening being bounded by an inner cylinder casing 26 which extends above and below heater 4 and which has a diameter which is greater than that of column 2 and is provided above and below heater 4 with a reflecting surface on its outside to prevent overheating of the column by the heater.
  • a hood 11 is fixed on column 2, likewise with slippers 19 on an inner cylinder casing 27 which extends above and below hood 11 and which has a diameter which is greater than that of column 2 and is provided with a reflecting surface above and below hood 11 on its outside, wherein cylinder casing 27 is bounded on the side directed toward heater 4 by a non-convex, in this case flat central surface 29 and a convex peripheral paraboloid 31.
  • the flat surface 29 protects the parasol (not shown) above hood 11 and particularly the column 2 against overheating, the paraboloid 31 reflects the infrared radiation emitted by the glow covering 24 of gas heater 4 in downward direction in an annular beam, the width of which is determined by the distance between heater 4 and hood 11 and by the height of both relative to the base of the column.
  • Hood 11 further comprises an insulating layer 28, for instance of rockwool, which is enclosed between the lower surface 29, 31 and an upper surface 32.
