Abstract

In order to improve a free-standing parasol, particularly a large parasol, in which canopy rods of a canopy are supported through supporting struts on an accommodating collar ( 8 ) of a slider ( 2 ), which, with the canopy open, can be latched to a parasol pole ( 4 ) through a releasable pawl ( 26 ) and a catch ( 30 ), wherein the pawl ( 26 ) is arranged on a tilting lever ( 12 ), it is proposed that the tilting lever ( 12 ) be surrounded by a housing ( 20 ) that comprises bearings ( 22 ) for the hinge pin ( 40 ). The tilting lever ( 12 ) itself has an operating button ( 13 ). The housing ( 20 ) comprises an aperture ( 21 ), through which the the operating button is made accessible. The hinge pin ( 40 ) of the tilting lever ( 12 ) is oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis ( 42 ) of the parasol pole ( 4 ) and the hinge pin ( 40 ) is closer to the longitudinal axis ( 42 ) of the parasol pole ( 4 ) than the pawl ( 26 ).
