Pavilion

Abstract: The invention relates to a pavilion, particularly for protection from the sun, light, wind and rain and for providing privacy. In contrast to conventional awnings or beach tents, the size and inclination of the transportable pavilion can be altered. To this end, a dome-like roof element is mounted in an articulated arrangement situated on both sides of the roof element in such a manner that the tensioning braces that tension the roof element are accommodated in accommodating shafts, which are mounted in a manner that enable them to rotate individually, thereby enabling the inclination of the roof element to be altered relative to the surface upon which the pavilion is placed. By moving the tensioning braces relative to one another, the tensioning angle and thus the size of the roof element can be altered. (end of abstract)
