  • Patent number: 6135193
    Abstract: A sunscreen having a plurality of hinged panels deployed with respect to one another in order to provide an elongated integral panel in an operative position installable across an auto or dwelling window. The external surface of the sunscreen carries a reflective and heat absorption foil surface which carries translucent and opaque portions formed by the presence of graphic subject matter. The graphic subject matter of pictorial indicia determines the areas of density for determining the translucent and opaque portions. The foil composition carrying the pictorial subject matter is of heat absorption materal so that temperature reduction within the interior of a dwelling or automobile is lessened through the reflective and heat absorption characteristics of the composition itself. The screen has a stabilizing central base with a plurality of foldable panels on either side of the central portion that are extendable.
