Abstract

The present invention is an aerodynamic sunshade that has a flat frame or rack made up of a series of radial or angular rods or arms, having the outermost ends of said arms joined to the perimeter of a hexagonal kite- or arrowhead-shaped cloth, said frame or rack being supported in an eccentric and articulated manner perpendicularly from a point between the leading edge of the kite or arrowhead and a third of its main centreline by a cylindrical element, stem or mast, which is embedded either in the sand, in a concrete base or a handle, with the addition of peripheral flounces or fringes at the sides or outside edge of the cloth.

Claims

1. A aerodynamic sunshade that consists of a flat frame or rack made up of a series of radial or angular rods or arms, having the outermost ends of said arms joined to the perimeter of a hexagonal kite- or arrowhead-shaped cloth, said frame or rack being supported in an eccentric and articulated manner perpendicularly from a point between the leading edge of the kite or arrowhead and a third of its main centreline by a cylindrical element, stem or mast, which is embedded either in the sand, in a concrete base or a handle, with the addition of peripheral flounces or fringes at the sides or outside edge of the cloth.

2. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms are extending or telescopic.

3. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms are extended to form an obtuse angle.

4. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms may be extended to form a complete circle in the form of a fan, the outermost radial arms of which are connected to one another laterally, either entirely or partly, in a dovetail joint, both when they are extended and when they are retracted.

5. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms are rotated and retracted attached along the support stem.

6. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the stem is made up of two telescopic sections connected by dovetailing and sliding in relation to each other, both on a longitudinal and a rotational basis.

7. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein a screw and a brake hold and brake the rotation between mast and its support.

8. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the hinged joint between the stem and the radial or angular arms may be executed at the centre or connection point of same.

9. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the hinged joint between the stem and the radial or angular arms may be executed at the mid-point of one of the arms.

10. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the hinged joint of the mast allows to be tilted sideways.

11. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods may be telescopic with the outermost or ancillary section running along the inside of the main tubular section.

12. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods may be telescopic with the outermost or ancillary section running along the outside of the main section.

13. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the outermost end of the radial or angular arms have a rounded, oval or arch shaped ring.

14. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the mast has a handle, rotary and retractable by means of a spring.

15. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms are rotated and retracted parallel to the stem or mast, while they are extended by means of a spring but with the special feature of the rods being extended perpendicular to the stem and the cloth flat and perpendicular to the stem.

16. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein the rods or arms are of varying length, securing the outside edge of the cloth in an oval form and with the rods and stem starting from their focal points approximately.

17. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein some of the rods or arms are extending.

18. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein an automatic extension system is used by means of a spring and the corresponding joint.

19. An aerodynamic sunshade according to claim 1, wherein it is used the stem attached to the middle of the sunshade and off-centred and articulated laterally in the form of a crank handle.
