The pushing portion 2231 of the sliding pole 223 moves towards the first placement region 212 along the fastening hole 2221. The fastening plate 222 is supported by the compression spring 221 in the second placement region 213 to push upward the pivot clamping portion 23. So the pivot clamping portion 23, the first clamping portion 21, and the second clamping portion 24 are released from clamping. Therefore, a cylinder with a covering cloth can be mounted between the pivot clamping portion 23, the first clamping portion 21, and the second clamping portion 24. After the cylinder with a covering cloth is mounted, the pivot clamping portion 23 is pivoted reversely to release downward clamping of the fastening plate 222. The fastening plate 222 and the sliding pole 223 are pushed to the original position by the two compression springs 221. The cylinder is clamped securely by the pivot clamping portion 23, the first clamping portion 21, and the second clamping portion 24. So the covering cloth is unfolded to shield the vehicle top.

(14) The present invention combines an adsorbing assembly 10 and a clamping assembly 20. The adsorbing assembly 20 can be mounted securely on a wall, a ground, a table, or a vehicle top. The adsorbing assembly 20 can accomplish or release the adsorbing effect by pressing the handle, and the present invention has the advantage of easy disassembly and storage. So the present invention is suitable for applications in daily use and has improved utility in practice.
