## Abstract

To provide a light-blocking member that can be easily folded. Wire 12 is bendable and deformable, and is attached to sheet member 11 so as to surround an outer peripheral part of substantially rectangular sheet member 11. Handle members 14 and 15 are attached to both ends of one side of sheet member 11, and are fixed to wire 12.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A light-blocking member comprising:
a substantially rectangular sheet member;
a bendable and deformable wire that is attached to said sheet member so as to surround an outer peripheral part of said sheet member; and
handle members that are attached to both ends of one side of said sheet member and that are fixed to said wire.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The light-blocking member according to claim 1, wherein
said handle members have two engagement members that engage with each other while said sheet member and said wire are sandwiched between said two engagement members.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The light-blocking member according to claim 1, wherein
said handle members are each formed with a recessed part that specifies a position of a predetermined finger when a user holds the handle member.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The light-blocking member according to claim 3, wherein
on a surface opposite to the surface on which said recessed part is formed in each of said handle members, a protrusion part that specifies a position of another finger when said user holds the handle member is formed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The light-blocking member according to claim 1, comprising
locking parts that are provided on a first surface side of said sheet member in one of the handle members attached to said both ends, and on a second surface side opposite to said first surface of said sheet member in the other of said handle members, and that engage with each other.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The light-blocking member according to claim 1, comprising
a hooked protrusion part provided in one of the handle members attached to said both ends; and
a locking groove that is provided in the other of said handle members, and is locked to said hooked protrusion part by insertion of said hooked protrusion part into said locking groove.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

A light-blocking structure comprising:
the light-blocking member according to claim 5; and
a shelf part that allows said light-blocking member to be placed thereon, wherein
said locking part is used as a shelf positioning part that comes into contact with one end of said shelf part to determine a position of said light-blocking member on said shelf part.
