  • Patent number: 9629470
    Abstract: A canopy adapted to be mounted on a chair having a backrest. This canopy is supported by a frame including a closed loop rod and an open arc rod, each rod made of flexible material. The canopy also includes a first sheet secured throughout its entire perimeter to the closed loop rod and a second sheet secured along its back edge to the top edge of the first sheet and along its front edge to at least a portion of the open arc rod. The canopy also includes anchors configured to attach said canopy to said chair's backrest. The canopy can be compactly collapsed by folding the first sheet over the second sheet, thereby forming a stack, twisting the stack into three sets of loops, shifting the left loops in front of the right loops and folding the middle loops in front of the left loops.
