ABSTRACT:
The SUNSHADE according to the present invention includes a floor and a canopy attached to the floor which extends over the floor for protecting the occupants from sun and wind. The canopy and the floor are connected to each other along one end. The SUNSHADE also includes a self supporting support structure which includes two long flexible support rods and one or more, preferably three, shorter cross rods attached to the flexible support rods. The flexible support rods connected by the cross rods form an arch shape which supports the canopy in tension. The SUNSHADE according to the present invention addresses the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a sun and wind shelter which does not require attachment by stakes to the ground and which may be collapsed into a lightweight and compact configuration for carrying.
