DESCRIPTION

parasol base

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention relates to a base for umbrellas, of the type designed to be removable but stable, depending on the changing position of the sun, usually used in hotels, although it is applicable at home and any other area in who require this type of benefit.

The object of the invention is to provide a base for umbrellas that can be stacked in an inoperative situation with other bases of the same type, in order to minimize the storage space of these elements when they are not being used.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, one of the most common types of bases, due to its low cost and lower weight, is the one in which the base is constituted from a laminar body of a metallic nature, with dimensions according to to define a stable base for the umbrella, from the center of which emerges a tubular neck intended to receive within it the mast of the umbrella that is stabilized by means of a stud or equivalent mechanism.

The problem with this type of bases is that they lack the ability to be stacked and are stored by overlapping the bases with each other, hindering their storage due to the central neck, thus occupying a larger surface.

This problem is significantly increased in the field of hospitality, where currently, with the increased use of terraces due to the climate and health restrictions, which limit consumption inside the premises, greater use is made of outdoor spaces. , having increased the use of outdoor furniture including bases and parasols.

This complicates the previously described storage problem, and there is a latent demand for optimizing space in warehouses.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The base for parasols that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the aforementioned problems, based on a simple but extremely effective solution that gives it a stackable character, significantly reducing the volume of the bases when they are stored in an inoperative situation.

For this, and more specifically, the basis of the invention is based on the conventional structure of this type of device, in which a laminar body in the form of a plate, normally circular or quadrangular, participates, without ruling out any other plan design, and from whose central zone a tubular neck emerges integral to it, destined to receive the mast of the umbrella within it, which is stabilized by means of a stud or equivalent mechanism.

Well, in accordance with the invention, provision has been made for the base plate itself to include a slot with a width according to the diameter of the tubular neck of the base arranged in a radial direction, and extending from the edge of said base. iron up to the vicinity of said tubular neck.

This notch practically does not affect the stability of the assembly, given its narrow width and radial disposition, but it allows some bases to be stacked with others by inserting the tubular neck of the immediately lower base into the groove of the plate acting as the base of the immediately higher.

From this structure, it is possible to store a large number of bases in a minimum space.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that will be made below and in order to help For a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of its practical embodiment, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where the following has been represented for illustrative and non-limiting purposes:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of a parasol base made according to the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a perspective view of how to stack several bases like the one in figure 1 with a minimum volumetric occupation.

Figure 3.- Shows a perspective view of a second embodiment variant of the base of the invention.

Figure 4.- Shows, finally, Shows a perspective view of how to stack various bases like the one in figure 3 with a minimum volumetric occupation.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the base for umbrellas of the invention is constituted from a laminar body (1), preferably of a metallic nature, without ruling out other resistant materials, such as fiber, plastics, etc. that in the example of practical embodiment of figures 1 and 2 it has a quadrangular plan configuration, although it could have other configurations, such as the circular configuration that it adopts in the embodiment variant of figures 3 and 4, polygonal, in flower shape, etc, without affecting the essence of the invention.

As is also conventional, from the laminar body (1) emerges, in correspondence with its central area, a tubular neck (2) integral with said laminar body (1) intended to receive within it by plugging into the mast of the corresponding umbrella, not represented in the figures, a neck that is usually complemented with a grub screw (3) that ensures correct stabilization of the aforementioned parasol mast.

In accordance with the essence of the invention, it has been foreseen that the laminar body (1) includes a groove (4) of width according to the external diameter of the tubular neck (2) that participates in the base, groove (4) that will extend from the edge of said laminar body to the vicinity of the neck (2), in such a way that, as shown in figures 2 and 4, other bases can be stacked on a first base by inserting the neck (2) in the slot (4) of the immediately superior base, leaving the slots (4) and the necks (2) aligned with a small horizontal offset according to the thickness of the neck (2), which represents a very considerable space saving, especially when it comes to to store multiple umbrella bases.

It only remains to point out that this type of stacking will be extremely stable, since the thickness of the laminar bodies (1) is usually very small, so the lateral offset that accumulates between laminar bodies (1) does not become a problem. taking into account the number of umbrellas that are usually used on terraces.

Claims (1)

1§.- Base for parasol, which being of the type constituted from a laminar body (1) that determines the means of support and stabilization on the ground, from whose central area a neck emerges in solidarity with it (2 ) tubular intended to receive within it by plugging into the mast of the corresponding umbrella, and may include locking means for said mast, is characterized in that the laminar body (1) includes a slot (4) with a width according to the external diameter of the neck (2), slot (4) extending from the edge of said laminar body to the vicinity of the neck (2), said slot defining a stacking means between bases.
