Abstract

For swivel-assistance to a roof-skin holding bow forming the lower end of a folding canopy, lateral limbs of the holding bow being affixed to associated canopy struts of a main hoop, there is provided a rod element, the length of which can be altered, which is articulated at both ends and is arranged in the side wall region of the folding canopy. Since on end of the rod element is connected to the facing lateral limb of the roof-skin holding bow and the second end of the rod element is connected in articulated fashion to the associated canopy strut, the rod element can be arranged in space-saving manner in the side board.
