Abstract

A simple, reliable and inexpensively manufactured sunshade for attachment to the interior surfaces of an automotive window is devised by providing a pair of ribs which are adhesively attached to the interior surface of the window. Each rib has a plurality of ring-shaped louver fixtures attached to the rib and aligned such that the pluarlity of ring-shaped fixtures attached to one rib substantially lie in a plane parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rib. The pair of ribs are aligned so that each ring-shaped fixture has its axis of symmetry approximately aligned with a corresponding ring-shaped fixture on the opposing rib. Elongated, resilient louvers are disposed through the aligned ring-shaped fixtures by the user so that the louvers are held by a pair of ring-shaped fixtures in a substantially parallel plane, perpendicular to the elongated axis of the ribs. The width of the resilient louver is slightly greater than the maximum diameter of the ring-shaped fixture and the side edges of the louver engage a plurality of teeth or indentions defined in the inside radial surface of the ring-shaped fixture. The smaller diameter of the ring-shaped fixture imparts a curvature to the resilient louver. The resiliency of the louver in turn serves to retain it within the fixture in the orientation selected by the user.
