ABSTRACT:
A combined sunbather shade and carrying case including two semicircular-shaped, stretchable panels of opaque material attached together along the arcuate portion of their perimeters, a semi-rigid semicircular tube of sufficient dimension for insertion between the two panels along their arcuate perimeters and for support thereof, easily releasable fastening means to retain the semicircular tube between the panels during use, and an elongated wire component smaller in diameter than the semicircular tube so that each of its ends can be inserted into one of the openings in each end of the semicircular tube, the wire component being made of a flexible material which can be reversibly shaped into different configurations but which is able to retain the configuration into which it is formed until reshaped, the wire component providing a support structure for the semicircular tube and panels, the attached stretchable panels having sufficient dimension for use in preventing solar radiation from reaching selected parts of the body such as the face and the head, as well as sufficient dimension for storing and carrying the semicircular tube, the wire component, and other objects when not in use as a sun shade. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use as a sunshade for a person lying on a flat surface such as a beach or a pool deck, or use as a sunshade by a person positioned on a lawn chair.
