Abstract
The free-arm shade has radial shade ribs (6), support ribs (7) attached to the latter, and a shade rod slide (8) that is freely attached to support ribs (7). It also has a decentral pole (1) standing outside the shade. One of the shade ribs is vertically displaceably attached to pole (1) by its outer end, and functions as a side arm (2). On its top side, it is connected to pole tip (11) via an articulated rib (4), with this shade rib (2) having a pivot joint (13) between the edge of the shade fabric and the pole. Articulated rib (4) is connected to shade rib (2) via a pivot hinge (12). Shade rib (2) can therefore be pivoted around the axis between pivot joint (13) and pivot hinge (12) so that the entire shade can be tilted sideways in relation to pole (1).
Claims5
A free-arm shade, comprising:
- a decentral pole having a tip;
- an articulated rib;
- a sliding sleeve;
- and,
- radial shade ribs with one of said radial shade ribs being a side arm, said side arm being vertically displaceably attached to said decentral pole by an outer end of said side arm and connected to said tip of said decentral pole on its top side via said articulated rib, with said side arm being attached to a pivot hinge and sitting in a pivot joint, which is articulated to said sliding sleeve and vertically movable along said decentral pole, said articulated rib being connected to said side arm via a pivot hinge, so that said side arm is pivotable around a longitudinal axis of said side arm between said pivot joint and said pivot hinge.
