How to repair the auto tilt mechanism of my patio umbrella?

The wind hit the tilted umbrella so it became parallel to the pole. Something broke so that the pin that is positioned within a diagonal slot no longer stays within the slot. Cannot envision what is broken or missing that relates to the pin. Otherwise, the umbrella is in great condition. I want to surprise my husband by repairing the auto tilt. Can anyone provide the necessary information/solution? Thanks.
