Prop for objects such as sunshades

Abstract

A prop for objects such as sunshades, information signs, advertisement boards or rotary clothes dryers includes an upper part ( 1 ) for receiving a shaft pertaining to the object, and a lower part ( 2, 2 ′) facing the ground. In order to fix the prop to the ground, a central connecting element ( 3, 3 ′), e.g. a screw, is arranged in the region of the lower part ( 2, 2 ′) and can be connected to a holding element ( 11, 11 ′) which is firmly fixed in the ground, e.g. a screw anchor, in a positively locking manner.
