The invention originates with a mast on the upper end of which a locking and tiltable jib support is arranged. A jib is guided in the jib support such that said jib can be slid and fastened and carries a roof construction on the outer end thereof, wherein said roof construction can be extended like a canopy, fan, or frame. To make the extension and retraction of the jib easier, it is proposed that the jib support be designed with at least four guide and locking rollers, of which at least two engage in a left-handed track and two in a right-handed track of the jib.

Free-arm canopy

The invention relates to a free arm parasol which comprises a pole () whereon an extension arm () is guided such that it can be extended and detracted in the direction of the axis thereof, and can pivoted about the axis thereof. The extension arm () supports a parasol () on the end thereof and is rotationally mounted on the other end in a bearing (). A carrier element (), which is connected in an articulated manner to the pole (), is connected to bearing. Also, a stopping device (), which is used to stop the pivotable positioning of the extension arm (), is provided on the bearing (). Said stopping device comprises a steering bar () which is arranged in the extension of the extension arm (), can be placed counter to the carrier element (), can be locked to the carrier element () and can be pivoted about the axis of the extension arm () when in the unlocked state in order to improve the handling of the free arm parasol. Said arm is coupled in a detachable manner to the extension arm by means of a coupling device, according to a selected rotational angle in relation to the extension arm ().

Free arm parasol

A large umbrella arrangement includes a stand (2) having a mast (10) to which an extendable and retractable support arm (4) is connected. A connecting member (12) is pivotally connected to the middle area of the support arm (4) and at its other end is pivotally connected to the upper end of the mast (10). One end (26) of the support arm (4) engages the mast (10) by means of a roll (32). This end (26) is further provided with a fork (28) whose arms (30) overlap and receive the mast (10). The support arm (4) is fixable by means of the fork (28) at different height positions on the mast (10), with such fixing in different heights involving the use of an arresting bolt (36) insertable in a bore (34) in the mast (10). At the free end of the support arm (4) is a pin (20) protruding from the support arm from which the umbrella (8) is hung through a hanging means (6).
