Standing parasol with hand crank device

Abstract

A standing parasol has a parasol mast ( 2 ) and an actuating device ( 4 ) arranged thereon, which actuating device cooperates with a connecting organ ( 6 ) for moving a parasol part. The actuating device comprises a hand crank device ( 8 ) with an associated crank handle ( 10 ) which is rotatable about a substantially horizontal crank axis of rotation (A) and is coupled to the connecting organ ( 6 ), wherein the crank handle ( 10 ) is formed in two parts with an inner handle portion ( 12 ) which is arranged substantially transversely to the crank axis of rotation (A), and with an outer handle portion ( 14 ) which is pivotable with respect to the inner handle portion ( 12 ) between a substantially coaxial resting position and an angled functional position about a handle pivot axis (G). In the functional position, the hand crank device ( 8 ) can be brought into rotational engagement with the connecting organ ( 6 ), whereas in the resting position, the hand crank device ( 8 ) is rotationally disengaged from the connecting organ ( 6 ).

1 . A standing parasol having a parasol mast and an actuating device arranged thereon, which actuating device cooperates with a connecting organ for moving a parasol part, wherein the actuating device comprises a hand crank device with an associated crank handle which is rotatable about a substantially horizontal crank axis of rotation (A) and is coupled to the connecting organ, wherein the crank handle is formed in two parts with an inner handle portion which is arranged substantially transversely to the crank axis of rotation (A), and with an outer handle portion which is pivotable with respect to the inner handle portion between a substantially coaxial resting position and an angled functional position about a handle pivot axis (G), characterized in that, in the functional position, the hand crank device can be brought into rotational engagement with the connecting organ, and wherein, in the resting position, the hand crank device is rotationally disengaged from the connecting organ. 
     
     
         2 . The standing parasol according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hand crank device comprises a restoring means, by means of which the outer handle portion is urged into the resting position, whereby the rotationally connected engagement is released. 
     
     
         3 . The standing parasol according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the hand crank device is configured as follows:
 the outer handle portion is articulately connected, via a lug member, to a pin member of the inner handle portion, wherein the lug member is pivotable, with respect to the outer handle portion, about a first pivot axis (G 1 ) which is displaced parallel to the handle pivot axis (G) and is pivotable with respect to the pin member about a second pivot axis (G 2 ) which is displaced parallel to the handle pivot axis (G) in such manner that, during the transition from the resting position to the functional position, the pin member is pushed from a basic position into a position protruding towards the crank axis of rotation (A),   the pin member is provided with a follower pin pointing to the crank axis of rotation (A) which is urged by a first spring means into a position protruding with respect to the pin member;   a rotary drum rotatably connected to the connecting organ is provided with at least one cam opening for the follower pin;   
       in such manner that, in the protruding position of the pin member, the follower pin rests against a side surface of the rotary drum or penetrates into the cam opening ( 28 ), and that, in the basic position of the pin member, the follower pin lies outside of the cam opening. 
     
     
         4 . The standing parasol according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the outer handle portion comprises a pivot member connected to the handle pivot axis (G), and further comprises a grip sleeve arranged concentrically and longitudinally displaceable thereto, which is urged against the handle pivot axis (G) by a second spring means. 
     
     
         5 . The standing parasol according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the hand crank device is substantially free-rotating in the resting position and thereby spontaneously assumes a downward orientation parallel to the parasol mast. 
     
     
         6 . The standing parasol according to  claim 5 , characterized in that magnet means are present, which cause a soft securing of the downward pointing orientation. 
     
     
         7 . The standing parasol according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the actuating device is integrated into an operating unit for further parasol functions. 
     
     
         8 . The standing parasol according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the hand crank device is substantially free-rotating in the resting position and thereby spontaneously assumes a downward orientation parallel to the parasol mast. 
     
     
         9 . The standing parasol according to  claim 8 , characterized in that magnet means are present, which cause a soft securing of the downward pointing orientation. 
     
     
         10 . The standing parasol according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the hand crank device is substantially free-rotating in the resting position and thereby spontaneously assumes a downward orientation parallel to the parasol mast. 
     
     
         11 . The standing parasol according to  claim 10 , characterized in that magnet means are present, which cause a soft securing of the downward pointing orientation. 
     
     
         12 . The standing parasol according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the hand crank device is substantially free-rotating in the resting position and thereby spontaneously assumes a downward orientation parallel to the parasol mast. 
     
     
         13 . The standing parasol according to  claim 12 , characterized in that magnet means are present, which cause a soft securing of the downward pointing orientation. 
     
     
         14 . The standing parasol according to  claim 2 , characterized in that the actuating device is integrated into an operating unit for further parasol functions.
