Protection apparatus for infants

In apparatus for protecting an infant in a forwardly facing infant's seat, in a vehicle, from direct exposure to sun rays, the combination comprising:

• a) a generally horizontally forwardly extending frame having multiple frame sections, with pivot means connecting adjacent sections, so that the sections extend above the infant's seat,
• b) a foldable canopy carried by the frame to extend protectively above said seat, and to be folded as the frame sections are relatively pivoted,
• c) and support means connected with the frame and extending generally downwardly to in turn be supported rearwardly of the infant's seat,
• d) said frame including a first section pivotally carried by the support means, and a first stop shoulder on the support means to limit downward pivoting of the frame relative to the support means at a position in which said first section extends generally horizontally,
• e) said frame including a second section pivotally carried by the first section, and a second stop shoulder on the first section to limit downward pivoting of the second section relative to the first section at a position in which the second section extends generally horizontally,
• f) the second frame section having an alternate position swung upwardly and rearwardly of the first section,
• g) the first frame section having an alternate position swung upwardly and rearwardly of the support means, at which time the second section extends beneath the first section,
• h) said support means including a support which extends generally downwardly from a rearward portion of said frame, said support having a channel-shaped connecting portion projecting rearwardly to forwardly interfit with structure at the rear of the infant's seat, and below said first frame section in its alternate rearwardly swung position.
