Collar tilt is a type of tilt mechanism commonly found in outdoor sun umbrella. It allows you to adjust the angle of the umbrella canopy to block the sun from different directions, providing flexible shade coverage throughout the day. The term "collar tilt" refers to the design of the mechanism, where a collar or ring is used to control the tilt of the umbrella.
Here's how the collar tilt mechanism typically works:
Collar or Ring: Near the top of the umbrella pole, there is a collar or ring that encircles the pole.
Tilt Adjustment: To adjust the canopy's tilt, you rotate the collar or ring in the desired direction. By turning the collar, you can tilt the umbrella canopy to block the sun and provide shade where needed.
Locking Mechanism: Once you achieve the desired tilt angle, the collar tilt mechanism typically has a locking feature that secures the canopy in place. This ensures that the canopy stays at the chosen tilt position and doesn't move unintentionally.
The collar tilt mechanism offers more precise control over the angle of the canopy compared to some other tilt mechanisms. You can adjust the tilt incrementally, allowing you to fine-tune the shade direction based on the sun's position.
One advantage of the collar tilt mechanism is that it is relatively easy to operate. Users can adjust the tilt without much effort, making it a convenient choice for those who frequently need to adapt their shade coverage throughout the day.
As with any adjustable umbrella, it's essential to use caution when adjusting the tilt to avoid any potential entanglement with the mechanism and ensure safe operation.
