ABSTRACT:
A privacy screen for tanning. The screen has a top screen panel and four vertical lateral wall screen panels, combining to form a canopy lowered over and covering a portion of a sunbather's torso. The screen panels are made from a material impervious to light in the visible spectrum and permeable to UV-A light. The top and two lateral screen panels are stored on reels enclosed in respective housings. The remaining two lateral screen panels are fastened, as by hook and loop material, to vertical legs holding the top screen panel above and spaced apart from the sunbather. Legs are adjustable as to height of the privacy screen. The two lateral screen panel housings are integral with two of four legs, which hold the canopy in its assembled configuration. The two remaining legs have external surfaces bearing hook and loop material for assembly of the canopy. The three housings are pivotally mounted to one another, so that when the canopy is disassembled, these housings fold parallel to one another, thus forming a compact configuration for stowage. In alternative embodiments, the legs include stakes for driving into the ground, or clamps, as for attachment to a beach chair. The novel privacy screen enables the user to sunbathe in public without clothing, the covered portions of the body being concealed to onlookers, while being entirely exposed to tanning rays.
