Description

SUNSHADE AND UMBRELLA SAFETY DEVICE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention to which the specification refers is for a safety device to prevent parasols and umbrellas from moving violently due to the effect of the wind.

The safety device thus devised is mechanical in nature, being simple, straightforward, practical, fulfilling the main objective, which is to prevent parasols and umbrellas from moving violently due to the effect of the wind.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The sector of the industry of the invention is the auxiliary industry of beach articles, umbrellas and parasols.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As background to the present invention we can cite the usual security and positioning elements until now, such as water-refillable plastic lower supports, cement lower supports, aluminum or plastic spikes, resin base supports, cement bases or aluminum anchors. or plastic, whose function is that the umbrellas and umbrellas are vertical and do not move due to the weight of their base.

But this has the problem that for static umbrellas and parasols it is well solved because counterweights can be added or the support bases can be filled with water until a certain security is achieved and in another embodiment the base can be anchored to the ground by conventional means.

But in portable umbrellas and umbrellas it is very difficult to anchor them correctly to the ground and it is even more difficult or impossible to carry weights for when you get to the right place to ballast the umbrella or umbrella.

The technical problem raised is to prevent the parasols and umbrellas from flying off when there is a strong gust of wind.

It is one of the most frequent problems that are occurring, especially on beaches, swamps, rivers or any other place where the soils are usually sandy and are not very compacted. The anchors used to hold parasols and umbrellas do not prevent them from flying off in a strong gust of wind.

To date, no system is known to prevent parasols and umbrellas from flying off.

To solve this problem, a simple fastening system has been designed by means of a cable and a counterweight that can be installed against the direction of the wind and that completely solves this problem.

On the part of the inventor, he does not know of any device equal to the one designed.

BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The safety device for parasols and umbrellas to prevent them from moving violently due to the effect of the wind would be constituted by a mast nailed to the ground that has a through hole made at the middle of the mast and which crosses it completely.

A steel cable with a stop element at one end is inserted through the through hole of the mast, while a loop closed by a prisoner is made at the other.

As a security element, a counterweight bag is used, consisting of a small bag or sack that is filled with sand, stones or the material that is closest, closing by means of a resistant cord that is tied to the loop of the steel cable.

If you want to give the device more security, another resistant cable would be used, either made of steel or suitable technical fibers of approximately 75 cm and at its two ends there would be two loops and two carabiners to join the steel cable that comes from the parasol or umbrella and It is attached to the counterweight and the other end would be hooked to a portable cooler or similar item, if any.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

The safety device for parasols and umbrellas and prevent them from moving violently due to the effect of the wind. It is characterized by being constituted by a mast (1) nailed to the ground (13) that has a through hole (2) made at the middle of the mast (1) and which crosses it completely.

A steel cable (3) is inserted through the through hole (2), placing a stop (4) at the end closest to the mast (1), while a 1.5 cm loop (6) is made at the other. , closed by a prisoner (5).

As a security element, a counterweight bag (7) is used, consisting of a small bag or sack that is filled with sand, stones or the material that is closest, closing by means of a resistant cord (8) that is tied to the loop (6) of the steel cable.

To give the device more security, another resistant cable (9) would be used, either made of steel or suitable technical fibers of approximately 75 cm and at its two ends there would be two loops (10) and two carabiners (11) to join the steel cable ( 3) that comes from the parasol or umbrella and that is attached to the counterweight and the other end would be hooked to a portable cooler (12) or similar element, if any.

In a second embodiment, the fastening to the mast would be carried out by means of a clamp, which, placed on the mast (1), would trap the steel cable (3) on the mast by the clamp. The rest of the elements would be the same.

In a third embodiment, the fastening element to the mast (1) would be made by means of a tube with a greater diameter than the mast (1), and a length of 5 cm and a through hole is made in the tube, the steel cable (3) is passed through the hole made in the 5 cm tube until it stops with the steel core and is inserted through the pole or mast, trapping the tube with the steel cable, the rest of the device being the same as the first embodiment.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way in which it is put into practice, it should be noted that the provisions indicated above and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter its fundamental principles, established in the paragraphs above and summarized in the following claims
