Compact collapsible sunshade

摘要

A collapsible sunshade includes a sheet with a central horizontal fold line dividing it into upper and lower portions, and vertical fold lines forming accordion pleats. In a first embodiment, the upper portion includes a large cutout spanned by a flexible material. In a second embodiment, the center of the upper portion includes an inverted T-shaped cut that follows the fold lines. The cutout and the T-shaped cut further divide the upper portion into left and right portions. The sunshade is compacted by collapsing the sheet inwardly horizontally, and folding the left and right portions outwardly and downwardly. The flexible material of the first embodiment and the T-shaped cut of the second embodiment enable the left and right upper portions to be folded against the lower portion. A pair of wings extending from the left and right portions serve as handles to facilitate opening, installation, removal, and folding of the sunshade. Triangular cutouts arranged along the lower edge of the sunshade and in registration with alternate fold lines enable the lower edge of the sunshade to be positioned close to the base of a windshield during folding and unfolding.
