Abstract: A fan-type sunshade for protecting the interior of a vehicle against light radiation can be placed on the dashboard in the vehicle in close proximity to the windshield. The sunshade substantially covers the windshield in a single or mono-plane manner. The shade comprises a support by means of which it can be placed on the dashboard of a vehicle between a windshield and a driver but in close proximity to the windshield. The shade further comprises a plurality of slats connected at the support, with the slats being arranged in a first array and a second array, whereby the first array and the second array abut one another in the extended operative position at a common interface plane without creating an overlap and the two arrays are connected in the extended operative position. The support can be enhanced by suction cups for attachment to a windshield.
