ABSTRACT:
A sun screen includes a plurality of sections adapted to assume a generally planar configuration when extended and a compact configuration when folded in an accordion-like manner. Adjacent sections are coupled in a hinge-like manner by linear arrays of perforations to facilitate folding of the sun screen, which may then be retained in the folded configuration by an elastic strap disposed thereabout. An upper, median portion of the sun screen includes a narrow slot extending downward from an upper edge along the center, linear array of perforations and terminates in a circular aperture. A second plurality of linear arrays of perforations are disposed radially about an upper portion of the aperture, terminating in the upper edge of the sun screen. The circular aperture is adapted to receive a rearview mirror support member mounted on or adjacent to the windshield by inserting the mirror support through the aforementioned slot. The radial perforations allow the sun screen adjacent to the aperture to flex for insertion of the mirror support through the slot and into the aperture, then allowing the sun screen to assume its generally planar configuration following mirror support insertion such that the slot again narrows. The mirror support is thus securely engaged by the aperture for maintaining the sun screen disposed over and in close proximity to the inner surface of the windshield. The sun screen is preferably compirsed of a lightweight, opaque, semi-rigid material such as cardboard.
