Sun blind

A sun blind comprising:

• a first horizontal bar;
• a second horizontal bar adapted for movement with respect to the first bar;
• a foldable sun blinding member attached to said first and second bars;
• a third bar disposed below the second bar;
• first cord means for moving said second bar and said sun blinding member with respect to said first bar, said cord means coupled to and extending at least partly through said second bar in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of said second bar, said sun blinding member having a plurality of aligned openings disposed therein, said cord means extending through apertures in said second bar aligned with said aligned openings in said sun blinding member and further being disposed in said plurality of openings, said cord means extending through apertures in said first bar aligned with said aligned openings in said sun blinding member and further extending at least partly through said first bar in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of said first bar and exiting at a first end of said first bar and terminating in a pull cord operable to move said second bar, said first cord means comprising first and second cords and said plurality of aligned openings comprising first and second series of aligned openings disposed adjacent the ends of said sun blinding member, said first and second cords being disposed in respective ones of said first and second series of openings and coupled to one end of said second bar;
• second cord means for guiding said sun blinding member and said second bar during movement of said sun blinding member and second bar, said second cord means being coupled to a second end of said first bar opposite said first end and extending at least partly through said first bar in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of said first bar, through said apertures in said first bar and said plurality of aligned openings in said sun blinding member, through said apertures in said second bar in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of said second bar, and through apertures in said third bar and at least partly through said third bar in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of said third bar, said second cord means being coupled to said third bar, said second cord means comprising third and fourth cords disposed respectively in said first and second series of aligned openings, said tension means being disposed in said third bar, said third and fourth cords being coupled together by said tension means, said tension means maintaining said third and fourth cords in a taut condition, said second cord means further comprising fifth and sixth cords and said sun blinding member further including at least one third series of aligned openings disposed between said first and second series of aligned openings, said fifth and sixth cords being disposed in at least one of said third series of aligned openings, said fifth and sixth cords further extending through said third bar and being coupled together by said tension means;
• and
• means for providing tension on said second cord means during movement of said second bar and said sun blinding member, said second cord means comprising an even number of at least four cords, thereby allowing said tension means to provide equal tension on said cords of said second cord means and allowing said second cord means to provide sufficient guidance for said sun blinding member.
