Abstract:
A stretching structure for a sunshade body, comprising a stem, an auxiliary lever, a push lever, an upper beehive, a lower beehive, a plurality of upper support ribs, a plurality of lower support ribs, a plurality of cock members, a plurality of pivot blocks, a plurality of arch fitting blocks, a plurality of L-shaped fitting blocks and two metal cords, a locating collar being fitted on the stem, a pivot member being disposed on one side of the locating collar, a locating handle having an eccentric wheel being disposed on the other side of the locating collar, a pivot section being fixed at a top end of the stem, a pivot member being disposed on one side of the pivot section, the upper beehive being a hoop body the center of which is fixed with an upper main rib, a middle portion of the circumference of the upper beehive being formed with an annular groove, a plurality of long splits with a certain depth being formed on the circumference of the upper beehive at equal intervals, a short spilt being formed between each two adjacent long splits, the lower beehive being a hoop body, a lower side of the center of the lower beehive being fixed with a lower main rib, a middle portion of the circumference of the lower beehive being formed with an annular groove, a plurality of long splits with a certain depth being formed on the circumference of the lower beehive at equal intervals, a short split being formed between each two adjacent long splits, each upper support rib being a hollow rectangular rib, a pivot member being disposed on a lower side of a middle section of one of the upper support ribs and pivotally connected with one end of one of the lower support ribs, each end section of the upper support rib being formed with a circular hole on one of the short sides, the lower support rib being a hollow rectangular rib, one end of the lower support rib being formed with a circular hole on one of the short sides, a pivot member being disposed on an outer side of a lower section of the lower support rib, the cock member being a semielliptic body, a rectangular block being disposed on a plane face of the cock member, the rectangular block is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper support rib, one of the short sides of the rectangular block being formed with a circular hole with a certain depth, the cock member being fixed to one end of the upper support rib by a screw;the pivot block is a semielliptic body and formed with a central through hole, a rectangular block being disposed on a plane face of the pivot block, the rectangular block is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper and lower support ribs, one of the short sides of the rectangular block being formed with a circular hole with a certain depth; the arch fitting block is a quarter-cylinder body, a corner of the arch fitting block being formed with a through hole, a rectangular block being disposed on a bottom face of the arch fitting block, the rectangular block is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper support rib, one of the short sides of the rectangular block being formed with a circular hole with a certain depth; the L-shaped fitting block is an L-shaped member, an outer corner of the L-shaped fitting block being formed with a through hole, a rectangular block being disposed at a top end of the L-shaped fitting block, the rectangular block is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the lower support rib, one of the short sides of the rectangular block being formed with a circular hole with a certain depth, a bottom face of the L-shaped fitting block being a slope face, one side of an inner corner of the L-shaped fitting block being also a slope face; and the pivot member of the locating collar is pivotally connected with one end of one of the upper support ribs, the pivot member of the stem being pivotally connected with one end of the auxiliary lever, the other end of the auxiliary lever being pivotally connected with one end of the push lever, a middle section of the auxiliary lever being pivotally connected with a middle section of the upper support rib connected with the pivot member of the locating collar in a cross-like pattern, a pivot member located on the lower support rib being pivotally connected with the other end of the push lever, the pivot blocks being respectively fixed on ends of the upper and lower support ribs by screws, the arch fitting blocks being respectively fixed on ends of the upper support ribs by screws, the L-shaped fitting blocks being respectively fixed on ends of the lower support ribs by screws, the pivot blocks fixed at the ends of the upper support ribs being received in the long splits of the upper beehive and the arch fitting blocks being received in the short splits thereof, one of the metal cords being passed through the through holes of the pivot blocks and the arch fitting blocks to fix the pivot blocks and arch fitting blocks on the upper beehive, the pivot blocks fixed at the ends of the lower support ribs being received in the short splits of the lower beehive and the L-shaped fitting blocks being received in the long splits thereof, the other metal cord being passed through the through holes of the pivot blocks and the L-shaped fitting blocks to fix the pivot blocks and the L-shaped fitting blocks on the lower beehive.
