ABSTRACT:
A windshield shelter system for shading a windshield of a vehicle includes a shelter device, a pair of opposite guide tracks and a plurality of guiders. The shelter device, which is firmly mounted on a first side of the windshield, includes an elongated shelter sheet and a housing for receiving the shelter sheet therein. The elongated shelter sheet has a size adapted to cover the entire window area of the windshield. The pair of opposite guide tracks are firmly attached respectively along a second side and a third side opposing the second side of the windshield. Each of the guide tracks has a longitudinal guiding groove facing each other. The pair of guiding grooves are positioned along the pair of guide tracks respectively for guiding transverse movements of the guiders. The plurality of guiders are spacedly mounted along two opposite edges of the elongated shelter sheet. The guiders of the elongated shelter sheet are perpendicularly inserted into and slid along the corresponding guiding grooves of the pair of opposite guide tracks along the second and third sides of the elongated shelter sheet. Thereby, transversely moving the elongated shelter sheet, which is gathered within the housing while not used, toward an opposing fourth side of the windshield can allow the elongated shelter sheet to cover the entire area of the windshield, wherein the transverse movement of the shelter sheet is guided by sliding the guiders along the guiding grooves of the guide tracks.
