Abstract:
A folding canopy comprises pillars, the two adjacent pillars are connected by an intermediate folding unit, an upper portion of the pillar is hingedly connected with a spoke with flexural elasticity, upper ends of the spokes are converged toward and hingedly connected with a hub to form a top supporting frame, a runner capable of ascending upward and descending downward is disposed below the hub, ribs of a same number as the spokes are disposed between the runner and the spokes, a first end of the rib is hingedly connected with the spoke, a second end of the rib is converged toward and hingedly connected with the runner, a locking structure capable of locking the runner on the hub is disposed between the runner and the hub, and the second end is higher than the first end of the rib when the runner is locked by the snap-on locking structure.

Claim (Index 1):
A folding canopy comprising:\n at least three pillars; an intermediate folding unit, two adjacent pillars being connected by the intermediate folding unit to form a lateral supporting frame; a spoke, connected with an upper portion of each of the pillars being hingedly connected and an upper end of each of the spokes being converged toward a hub and hingedly connected with the hub to form a top supporting frame; a runner, disposed below the hub and capable of ascending upward and descending downward; ribs disposed between the runner and the spokes, the ribs being in equal number to the spokes, a first end of each of the ribs being hingedly connected with one of the spokes, a second end of each of the ribs being converged toward the runner and being hingedly connected with the runner; a locking structure disposed between the runner and the hub and capable of locking the runner on the hub; wherein the spoke has flexural elasticity and the spoke comprises a first rod, a second rod, and a joint with a U-groove, an opening of the U-groove faces upward, and a second end of the first rod and a first end of the second rod are disposed in the U-groove of the joint and are hingedly connected with the joint; and wherein the second end of the rib is higher than the first end of the rib when the runner is locked by the locking structure.
