Abstract

An adjustable personal sun shelter (10) to overlie a free-standing or integrated sun lounge or deck chair of the kind commonly occupied by a user while sunbathing beside a swimming pool. The adjustable personal sun shelter (10) includes a base (18) and a support structure (22) that suspends a shade canopy (20) in a cantilevered state above an underlying sun lounge (11) at an optimal height to project shade over the sun lounge (11). The shade canopy (20) is adjustable by a user to vary the amount of sunlight or shade received when occupying the underlying sun lounge. The shade canopy (20) is adjustable by an extendable central member or by two or more parallel extendable side members (34, 35), to which shade material (32, 33) is fastened. The shade canopy (20) has a moveable leading end (30) and a fixed trailing end (31). In the operational condition of the sun shelter (10), the length of the shade canopy (20) can be increased by extending the leading end (30) of the shade canopy relative to the trailing end (31), or the length can be decreased by retracted the leading end (30).
