ABSTRACT:
A window-blind for use in vehicles which includes a suction-cup for removably attaching a window-blind to a window of the vehicle and a plurality of elongated slats, each of the slats having one end pivotally connected to the suction-cup. The plurality of slats are stacked one on top of another when the window-blind is in a closed position, and are opened into a fan-shaped blind when the window-blind is in an open position. A connecting tape connects adjacent slats to each other and retains the window-blind in the fan-shape when the window-blind is in an open position. Each slat includes six apertures. The apertures are spaced approximately equi-distant from one another across the width of each slat. The connecting tape is wound through the apertures such that the tape is fed from a first side of a slat through a sixth aperture to a second side of the slat, through a fifth aperture back to the first side, through a fourth aperture back to the second side, through a third aperture back to the first side, passing over a second aperture along the first side, through a first aperture back to the second side, through the second aperture back to said first side, through the third aperture, adjacent to itself, back to the second side and to a first side of an adjacent slat. Such construction provides a strong bond between the slats, making the window-blinds extremely durable.
