Abstract
A removable window shade is secured adjacent a roll down vehicular window along the top edge by a pair of suction cups. At least one suction cup detachably secures the lower folded edge of the window shade to the window. The lower suction cup includes a pressure relief mechanism to permit facile detachment and reattachment between the suction cup and the window to permit displacement of the lower part of the window shade from the window prior to rolling down the window.
Claims2
A window shade for use with a roll down window of a vehicle, said shade comprising in combination:
- a) a flexible, resilient, self-supporting sheet of solar radiation filtering material generally conforming in planform with the window;
- b) at least one upper suction cup for securing the upper edge of said sheet adjacent the upper part of the window;
- c) a lower suction cup for securing the lower edge of said sheet adjacent the lower part of the window;
- d) an automatic release mechanism for detaching said lower suction cup from the window to permit displacement of the lower part of said sheet from the window to accommodate lowering of the window;
- e) a folded lower edge of said sheet for stiffening the lower part of said sheet;
- and
- f) means for deflecting said folded lower edge of said sheet away from the window upon lowering of the window.
