  • Vehicle sunshade structural assembly
    Patent number: 4626019
    Abstract: A two-piece structural assembly for a vehicle sunshade includes a lightweight laminate sunshade body with a low density central portion and an integral outer skin. The outer skin and central portion structurally cooperate to give sufficient rigidity that the sunshade body may be grasped to move the sunshade, but insufficient rigidity to allow it to be directly joined to the vehicle. A sunshade body support clampingly engages the sunshade body in such a way as to distribute the clamping force over the outer skin, allowing the sunshade body to be joined to the vehicle indirectly, while maintaining the structural integrity of the outer skin.
