The sunshade has an elongated minor segment and an elongated major segment with a seam or crease dividing the two segments.

  • Patent number: 6317229
    Abstract: An adjustable mirror device comprises a flexible mirror element mounted in a frame. The frame has a back plate normally parallel to the flexible mirror element and a handle extending from the bottom of the frame. Adjustment elements are located between the flexible mirror element and the back plate and are operatively connected to control means normally located at the junction of the handle to the frame. Actuation of the control means causes concomitant lateral movement of the associated adjustment element to flex or relax a portion of the mirror element so as to vary the contour thereof and hence an image received therefrom to achieve a modified or distorted image of a person viewing their image in the adjustable mirror device.
