Sun and weather protection device

Abstract

A sun and weather protection device having fewer individual parts, a stronger clamping force and an operation which is as easy as possible and requiring only a single operating element (e.g. a clamping screw) for all adjustment directions, it is proposed to adopt a hinge combination comprising two hinge halves with rotating disks and integrated gripper clamps.

1 . A sun and weather protection device, particularly a parasol, with a standing rod, a support rod and a flexible protecting surface, wherein the flexible protecting surface is attached to the support rod and wherein the standing rod and the support rod are connected to each other by means of a hinge combination and wherein the protecting surface can simultaneously be rotated about and fixed to both the axis of the standing rod and the axis of the support rod by actuating a single clamping screw, and wherein furthermore also the angle between the standing rod and the support rod can be adjusted and fixed, characterized in that
 the hinge combination comprises two hinge halves with rotating disks and integrated gripper clamps.
