Abstract

A sunshade arrangement includes first and second pairs of telescopically retractable spaced posts, first and second tubes respectively mounted to upper ends of the first and second pairs of posts, a reel assembly, and a screen. Each post includes a device for controlling telescopical movement. The reel assembly is mounted adjacent to the second tube and includes a reel axle which extends in a direction parallel to the second tube, a torsion spring mounted in each of two ends of the reel axle, an axle coupler mounted to each of the ends of the reel axle to rotate therewith and having a protrusion to which a first end of the torsion spring is securely attached and a through hole extending along a direction parallel to a longitudinal direction of the reel axle, and a U-shaped member having a first end attached to each of the ends of the second tube and a second end passing through the through hole of the axle coupler into an interior space of the reel axle and to which a second end of the torsion spring is securely attached. The screen has a first end securely mounted to the reel axle and a second end securely mounted to the first tube, the screen being spread when in use and being wound around the reel axle by the torsion spring when the sunshade assembly is not in use.
