ABSTRACT:
An automobile windshield shade includes a substantially opaque, pleated sheet having a bottom end, a top end, and a pair of opposite sides. The pleats of the sheet have generally equal widths and are oriented substantially parallel to the sides so that the pleats fold one on top of another when the sides are moved toward one another to collapse the sheet and unfold when the sides are spread apart to expand the sheet. The pleats are prevented from unfolding adjacent the bottom end of the sheet such that the sheet arcuately expands and collapses. The shade further includes a base assembly for placement on the dash of the automobile, wherein the assembly is configured to hold the bottom end of the sheet at substantially the same degree of curvature as the windshield so that the sheet generally follows the curvature of the windshield when expanded.
