The free-arm canopy comprises a mast (2), on which an extendable and retractable jib (10) is arranged, with a transverse fitting (34) at the end thereof on which a canopy (12) is arranged on a canopy pole (30) by means of a joint (32). The canopy (12) comprises a slider (36), connected in a jointed fashion to top ribs (44) by means of support ribs (40) which are further jointed to a crown (48) connected to the canopy pole (30), wherein the canopy (12) may be opened and closed by means of a tensile line (70) connected to the slider (36) and displacing the canopy pole (30) against the fitting (34) and thus locking the joint (32) on opening. According to the invention, the free-arm canopy may be improved, whereby the crown (48) of the canopy (12) is arranged on the upper end of a pole piece (52) in the form of a sleeve which may be displaced over the fitting (34) such that with an open canopy (12) the crown (48) goes over the joint (32) and is at least almost in contact with the jib (10).
A cantilever parasol, having a mast on which a retractable and extendable arm is arranged, this arm having at its free end an attachment, projecting transversely thereto, on which a parasol is arranged by means of a parasol stick and via an articulation means, the parasol having a sliding part that is connected to canopy ribs in articulated manner via support rods, and these canopy ribs are in turn articulated to a crown that is connected to the parasol stick, it being possible to open and close the parasol by a tensor member, which acts on the sliding part, with the parasol sliding the parasol stick in relation to the attachment when it is opened and hence locking the articulation means, characterized in that the crown of the parasol is arranged at the upper end region of a sleeve-shaped stick part that is slidable over the attachment such that the crown rises above the articulation means when the parasol is opened and is at least approximately adjacent to the arm.
