ABSTRACT:
A shortenable umbrella has a frame with three part canopy-supporting rods 1, D2, D3) which are respectively associated with two interacting parallelogram linkage (P1, P2). A corner of one linkage (P1) is provided by a pin and slot (9,9a) of which the pin passes through a diagonal (Di) of the linkage to a stable over centre position, maintained by radial tension in a canopy cover (18), when the umbrella is opened. The over centre effect is automatically released by spreading of struts (3) at the beginning of closing of the umbrella.
