US 2014/0349719 A1 · ADJUSTABLE FOLDING SHADE

Abstract

A folding shade used with a cell phone or tablet computer to improve visibility of the device's display in bright light environments. The shade includes a top panel, two perpendicular side panels, a top extension panel, and an optional rear edge lip. Disposed between the top panel and the side panels and between the extension panel and rear edge lip are living hinges that enable the shade to be shipped and stored in a flat configuration and selectively folded into a three sided structure positioned. During installation, the top panel extends perpendicularly outward from the device's front surface and aligned with the top panel. The two side panels are unfolded and extend downward perpendicularly aligned with the top panel. The extension panel is positioned over the top horizontal surface and the rear edge lip is extended around the back. Clamping surfaces are then used to hold extension panel against a top horizontal surface.
