Collapsible sunshade

摘要

A collapsible sunshade (1) that uses a simple support structure and anchoring system to simplify the carrying, assembly and disassembly of the sunshade. The collapsible sunshade of has a substantially-rectangular shaped canopy (3) with one or more pockets (9) located near a rear edge (6) of the canopy. The pockets may be filled with sand to anchor the rear edge of the collapsible sunshade to the ground. One or more air vents (10) may also be located proximal to the rear edge to allow wind to pass through, thereby lessening the pressure of the wind on a bottom surface (8) of the canopy. A front support structure (18) and optional rear support structure (2) in combination with wind supports the body of the canopy, which acts like a sail in the wind.

主权项

1. A collapsible sunshade comprising:
a substantially rectangular shaped canopy having a front edge, side edges, a rear edge, a top surface and a bottom surface; one or more pockets each having side edges attached to said canopy and a lower edge attached to said canopy to create an interior space accessible by an opening located on a top edge of said one or more pockets designed to receive weight to anchor the rear edge of the substantially rectangular shaped canopy; said one or more pockets each being located superior to the rear edge of the substantially rectangular shaped canopy in a manner in which the lower edge of each one or more pockets is parallel to said rear edge of the canopy so when the one or more pockets are filled with sand, the rear edge of the canopy is held down under the weight of the sand; and a front support structure attached near the front edge of the substantially rectangular shaped canopy; a front sleeve located along the front edge of the substantially rectangular shaped canopy; said front support structure further comprising a front crossbeam that is housed by the front sleeve of the substantially rectangular shaped canopy and a front support pole attached to a center of the front crossbeam to create a substantially T-shaped front support structure and said substantially rectangular shaped canopy being unsupported by any structure except along the front edge.
