Abstract

A jib (8) can be extended and retracted on the mast (2) and supported by means of mutually parallel connecting struts (16, 18). The struts are articulated secured to the mast (2) and the jib (8), while the jib can be secured in the extended position by means of a first clip (36) and bears a folding canopy (10) at the end away from the mast (2). The jib (8) is guided on the mast (2) and the struts (16, 18) so as to swivel, and can be secured in the swiveled position by a securing device (26, 28).
