Abstract (en)

A canopy comprising a plurality of ribs (10) extending from a hub (12) of the canopy and a membrane (14) attached to those ribs (10). The ribs (10) extend radially outwardly from the hub (12) when the canopy is in use so that the membrane (14) is stretched outwardly from the hub (12). The ribs (10) are held securely in their radially extending positions, against collapse towards one another, at their inner ends to avoid the need for a central pole and rib-supporting struts such as are present in a conventional umbrella.
