    PARASOL BASE ASSEMBLY FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a parasol base assembly comprising a tubular bodyWith a first opening for receiving a parasol pole, means arranged to tightly fasten a polereceived in the first opening a base part comprising a socket, in the center of said base part, being arranged to interconnect With said tubular body.
    BACKGROUND ART Parasols and garden umbrellas are Widely used as sun and other Weather protection,frequently used at terraces, sun decks and other outdoor places. Ordinary parasol basesas concrete ballast elements or plastic holders filled With Water or sand are ordinarilyemployed. These ordinary parasol bases have several draWbacks. A concrete ballastelement is very clumsy and heavy to move since it often has a Weight of 40-50 kg,causing effort to move the ballast element and possibly damages. The plastic holders arelighter but still clumsy. To fill the holder With sand or Water is time-consuming andoften leads to spillage. Removal of a plastic holder filled With e. g. Water is also heavy.Additionally, a Water filled plastic holder needs to be constructed to prevent damage ifthe Water retained Within the plastic holder freezes and expands. Further, storage ofthese ordinary parasol bases require large available storage-room. Another draWback,especially With the plastic ho lders, is that in an heavy uplift by the Wind the Whole parasol With the parasol base can be throWn over.
    EP 0818594 discloses a combination of the two ordinary parasol bases mentionedearlier. A concrete ballast part and a holder that can be filled With Water or sand still gives the basically same problem as told above.
    None of the known parasol bases provides a solution to the above mentioned problems, therefore it is obvious that there is a need to find a better solution.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIt is an object of the present invention to overcome or at least minimize the draWbacksand disadvantages of the above described problems. This is achieved by a parasol base in accordance With claim 1.
    Thanks to this invention many of the above mentioned problems can be Solved. Theparasol base assembly with a fastening device according to the invention, protrudingfrom the underside of the parasol base, facilitates easy and secure anchoring, e. g. on aterrace or a sun deck. With just a few mounting steps it is quickly anchored or removed.Thanks to the new anchoring principle it will stand securely also in strong wind, i.e.sudden wind blows will no longer be a problem. Moreover the design principle allowsto make the parasol base relatively light weight and slim, and also facilitates costefficient production.
    According to a further aspect according to the invention the parasol base assemblycomprises a few parts that can be easily assembled and easily disassembled at storage.
    This gives the need of just a small storage-room.
    According to still another aspect of the invention, the base part comprises a frame whichmakes it light, low cost and not so bulky as a plastic holder or a homogeneous concrete base. Hence it will be easy to lift and move the parasol base assembly.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described in more detail with reference to the appended figures, inwhich: Fig. l shows a side view of a parasol base assembly according to the invention and Fig. 2 shows a parasol base assembly according to the invention, from above.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTSThe following detailed description and the examples contained therein, are provided forthe purpose of describing and illustrating certain embodiments of the invention only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
    Fig. l shows a parasol base assembly l comprising a tubular body 2 with a first opening2l for receiving a parasol pole (not shown), a second opening 22 in the opposite endand means 23, 24, 23°, 24” for fasten tight a pole received in the first opening 2l.Further according to the invention the parasol base assembly l comprises a base part 3,comprising a ring shaped base support 3l and a centrally positioned tubular socket 30.The base support 31 and the tubular socket 30 are interconnected by two supports 32 A,32 B, each presenting a kind of U-shape. The two supports 32 A, 32 B run from the basesupport 31 up and towards the socket 30 that are placed in the center of said base part 3.
    The base support 3l is in the form of a rod that is bent into a circle, e.g. a diameter of 250-500 mm; which is in close contact with an upper side 50 of a ground support, eg. alayer composed of floorboards 5. Between the floorboards 5 there are interspaces 53. Inthe lower portion, the tubular body 2 has a transverse through hole i.e. two bores 27 A,27 B facing each other. There is a gap, with a height X, between the second opening 22and the base support 31. Thanks to this gap X the parasol base assembly 1 can stand steadily even if the ground support is uneven, i.e. protruding at the centre.
    The tubular body 2 is releasably interconnected to the base part 3. The lower part of thetubular body 2 comprises outer threads 26 while the tubular socket 30 comprises innerthreads 33. Preferably the whole height h of the socket 30 is arranged with innerthreads, e. g. by means of cutting up a pre threaded longer (standard) pipe intoappropriate pieces. The height h of the socket 30 is indicative of how much the tubularbody 2 may be adjusted in relation to the base part 3, i.e. corresponding to the distanceof adjustability between a crosspiece 42 of a fastening device 4 and the base support 31.The outer threads 26 may preferably be arranged by welding a separate, relatively smallpiece (e. g. presenting a length of about 0,1- 0,5 h) of a (standard) pre threaded pipehaving outer threads matching the inner threads of the socket 30.
    The fastening device 4 has a portion protruding into the second opening 22 of saidtubular body 2. The fastening device 4 comprises a rod 41 with the crosspiece 42 at afirst end 44 of the rod 41. The second end 43 of the rod 41 is positioned inside thetubular body 2, by means of a transversal through hole 45 connecting it to the tubularbody 2 by means of a screw 28. The rod 41 protrudes through the inter space 53between two floorboards 5. The crosspiece 42 extends perpendicularly to the interspaces53 between the floorboards 5 and is in close contact with an underside 51 of saidfloorboards 5.
    The fastening device 4 has in a preferred embodiment the shape of a T-IRON. Thelength of the rod 41 is preferably in the interval 5-25 cm, more preferred 12-17 cm. Thecrosspiece°s 42 length is in the interval 10-30 cm, preferably 18-24 cm. Both the rod 41and the crosspiece 42 has a thickness T in the range of 2-12 mm more preferably 4-6 1'I11'I1.
    Fig. 2 shows the parasol base assembly 1 seen from above, clearly showing that the basesupport 31 is made from a metal wire forrning a circle. At approximately every 90degrees on said base support 31 the ends of said supports 32 A, 32 B are fixed e.g. by welding positioning the socket 30 in the centre of the base support 3. As seen from above inside the tubular body 2 is connected to the socket 3 by means of the screw 28that extends through the bores 27 A, 27 B, and through the rod°s hole 45. Pole fasteningmeans 23”, 24” in form of a fixing screws protrude at the outer side of the tubular body2. The base part 3 has a diameter in the interval 20-60 cm preferably in the interval 35-45 cm. The wire that forrns the base support 31 and the supports 32 A, 32 B has acircular cross section with an appropriate diameter depending on the purpose, preferably in the range 0,5-2 cm.
    When utilizing the parasol base assembly 1, the tubular body 2 is joined with the basepart 3 by means of the threaded parts 26, 33, by screwing the tubular body 2 a ratherlong distance into the socket 30. Thereafter the second end 43 of said rod 41 isintroduced through the second opening 22 of the tubular body 2 up to the level of thetwo bores 27 A, 27 B. Then the screw 28 is inserted it through one of the bores 27 A, 27B, further through the rod”s hole 45 and finally out through the second bore 27 A, 27 B,and preferably fixed by a nut (not shown). Thereafter the crosspiece 42 of the fasteningdevice 4 may be inserted in a gap 53 between two floorboards 5, moved below them andthen tumed 90 degrees, by rotating the whole assembly 1. To safely hold the crosspiece42 transversally in relation to the gap 53, the assembly 1 is lifted upwards to gentlypress against the underside 51 of the floorboards 5, i.e. maintaining it perpendicularly tothe interspaces 53. Now, by screwing down the base part 3 (e.g. by moving the supportlegs by use of a foot) against the floorboards 5, the base support 31 will contact theupper side 50 of the floor boards, thereby exerting a clamping force onto the floorboards5 in between the base support 31 and the crosspiece 42. The tubular body 2 is nowready to receive a pole e. g. a parasol pole, inserted in the first opening 21 until the polerests against the second end 43 of the rod 41. The pole is then fixed by fixing screws23°, 24” in the holes 23, 24.
    The invention is not to be seen as limited by the embodiments described above but canbe varied within the scope of the appended claims, as will be readily apparent to theperson skilled in the art. For instance, the base support 31 may have other shapes thanlike a circle, e. g. square shaped. The wire that forms the base support 31 and thesupports 32 A, 32 B may have other cross sections than circular and to reduce theweight even more, the base support 31 and the supports 32 A, 32 B may be made of aho llow pipe. The length and diameter of the tubular body 2 and the socket 30 can bevaried depending on the purpose. The socket 30 preferably comprises a piece of pipewith prefabricated inner threads, cut off into suitable length. Likewise the tubular body 2 preferably comprises an end piece of pipe with prefabricated outer threads, which end piece may be welded to the lower end of the major portion of the tubular body 2, whichaccordingly may be cut into appropriate length from a standard pipe. Of course otherconnection solutions may be used that can achieve the tightening of the fastening device4, as is evident for the skilled person. The parasol base assembly l is made of a strongmaterial eg. steel, but the material may vary and still fulf1ll the same basic function. Ina preferred embodiment the fastening device 4 is interconnected to the tubular body 2by a rod device 28, e.g. a screw fixed in the two bores 27 A, 27 B. However mayvariations may be used to achieve that function, e.g. merely one bore and a nut attachedon the opposing side, or a non threaded rod that is secured by means of a key-hole, etc.According to a modification the cross piece may be connected to a rope/flexible wirewhich may be fixed and tensioned by well known devices, e. g. used to tension/ fixdevices on boats. Moreover the anchoring means 45 of the fastening device 4 may be invarying forms, e.g. a hook which implies that it may be attached to the screw/pin 28 without removing the screw/pin 28.
