ABSTRACT:
A portable shade system includes a shade member for shading a user from the sun, an elongated member having proximal and distal end portions for supporting the shade member on an object, and a clamp attached to the proximal end portion of the elongated member for removably mounting the elongated member on the object. The shade member is arranged to fold from an open configuration to a closed configuration and to removable mount on the distal end of the elongated member to enable the user to remove the shade member. In one version, the shade member includes a suction cup member for enabling the user to mount the shade member on a car window apart from the elongated member. The shade member may include a sheet of foldable material (e.g., shade material of honeycomb construction) mounted between rigid end pieces with an elastic member that enables a user to rotate the end pieces from a closed configuration in which the sheet of foldable material is folded between the end pieces and an open configuration in which the sheet of foldable material is unfolded in a circularly shaped arrangement.
