  • Publication number: 20100258256
    Abstract: A sunshade assembly includes a housing, a roller, and a screen. The housing defines a space therein, and is formed with a slot. The roller is disposed rotatably in the space and has small-diameter and large-diameter end parts. The screen is wound on the roller and has a free end portion, and short and long lateral end portions. The free end portion extends outwardly of the housing through the slot. The short and long lateral end portions are connected to the free end portion and are adjacent to the small-diameter and large-diameter end parts, respectively. The screen is operable between a retracted state, where the free end portion is adjacent to the roller, and an extended state, where the free end portion is distal from the roller so as to unwind the screen. The long lateral end portion has a length longer than that of the short lateral end portion when the screen is at the extended state.
