1. A deployable frame for a bad weather and/or sun protection device, comprising:
a mast with a longitudinal axis on which a runner is mounted so as to slide between a first position in which the frame is closed and a second position in which the frame is open;
at least one rib connected by a stretcher to the runner, the rib comprising an end connected to a notch carried by one end of the mast,
wherein
the rib comprises a first segment formed of a first part and a second part that are movable relative to each other about the extension axis of said first segment,
the first part of the first segment of the rib is connected to the notch by a pivot connection about an axis which is perpendicular to a plane inclined obliquely to the longitudinal axis of the mast so that in the first position of the frame the first segment of the rib extends along the mast and in the second position of the frame the first segment of the rib is moved away from the mast.
