Abstract

A retractable sunshade cap (40) includes a crown (52) having a forwardly extending visor (54), three sunshield members (118)(160)(200), and fastening members. The bottom end of the sunshield members are attached to the base of the crown using detachable or permanent fastening members. Left and right sunshield members (118)(160) are disposed with their front ends attached near the front centerline (74) of the crown so that they drape forwardly down the side of the visor. Rear sunshield member (200) is disposed so that it drapes down from near the rear crown portion. Detachable fastening members are deployed to secure angled folded flaps that reduce the size of the sunshield members for storage and can serve as earflaps (274) to shade the ears, and are also deployed to secure portions of the sunshield members onto the crown near its vertex (72) for independent retraction and targeted shading of the face and neck. Another embodiment includes a front sunshield member (284) for shading the front of the face, comprising a visor sleeve (285), a sleeve flap member (290) disposed inside the sleeve that swings out, and detachable fastening members for securing the front sunshield member to the left and right sunshield members for shading and for refraction onto the visor.
