SUN SHADE ASSEMBLY
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates to shade devices and more particularly pertains to a
new shade
device for providing shade for a driver of a vehicle.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally
comprising a first visor structured to have a front side and a back side. The
first visor is
movably coupled to a vehicle. The first visor is positionable in front of a
driver of the
vehicle the first visor may provide shade for the driver. A second visor is
structured to
have a forward side and a rearward side. The second visor is movably coupled
to the first
visor. The second visor is positionable beside the driver of the vehicle. The
second visor
may provide shade for the driver. A window is movably coupled to the first
visor. The
window is positionable in a stored position so the window is concealed within
the first
visor. The window is positionable in a deployed position so the window extends
outwardly from the first visor. The window may provide additional shade for
the driver.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of
the
disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be
better
understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be
better appreciated.
There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described
hereinafter and
which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty
which
characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims
annexed to and
forming a part of this disclosure.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set
forth above will
become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed
description
thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sun shade assembly according to an
embodiment of the
disclosure.
FIG. 2 is a top view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 3 is a bottom perspective view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 5 is a right side view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 6 is a front view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 7 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 7
thereof, a new
shade device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the
disclosure
and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.
As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 7, the sun shade assembly 10 generally
comprises a
first visor 12 structured to have a front side 14 and a back side 16. A rod 18
is provided.
The rod 18 extends laterally through the first visor 12. Additionally, the rod
18 is
positioned proximate to and is coextensive with a top edge 20 of the first
visor 12. The
first visor 12 is hingedly coupled to the rod 18.
The rod 18 is bent such that a first end 22 of the rod 18 is directed upwardly
from the rod
18. The first end 22 of the first rod 18 is coupled to an interior of a
vehicle 24. The
2

=
vehicle 24 may be a passenger vehicle of any conventional design. The first
visor 12
extends laterally in front of a driver 26 of the vehicle 24. Additionally, the
first visor 12 is
positionable in a stored position so the first visor 12 is removed from the
driver's 26 line
of sight. The first visor 12 is positionable in a deployed so the first visor
12 may provide
shade for the driver 26.
A second visor 28 is structured to have a forward side 30 and a rearward side
32. A hinge
34 is coupled between the top edge 20 of the first visor 12 and an upper edge
38 of the
second visor 28. The second visor 28 is hingedly coupled to the first visor
12. The second
visor 28 is positionable in a stored position so the forward side 30 of the
second visor 28
abuts the front side 14 of the first visor 12. Moreover, the second visor 28
is positionable
in a deployed position so the forward side 30 of the second visor 28 lies on a
plane that is
perpendicular to the front side 14 of the first visor 12. The second visor 28
may provide
shade for the driver 26.
A window 40 is provided. The window 40 is slidably coupled to the first visor
12. The
window 40 is positionable in a stored position so the window 40 is concealed
within the
first visor 12. The window 40 is positionable in a deployed position so the
window 40
extends downwardly from a bottom edge 42 of the first visor 12. The window 40
may
provide additional shade for the driver 26. Finally, the window 40 is
coextensive with the
bottom edge 42 of the first visor 12.
The window 40 may be comprised of a translucent material. The window 40 is
additionally tinted. The window 40 reduces an amount of sun light directed
toward the
driver 26.
In use, the first visor 12 in positioned in the deployed position to provide
shade in the
driver's 26 line of sight. The second visor 28 is positionable in the deployed
position if
the driver 26 needs shade from the side. The window 40 is deployed if the
driver 26
needs additional protection from sun light when the first visor 12 is in the
deployed
position. The window 40 may be deployed regardless of the positioning of the
second
visor 28.

CA 02935239 2016-07-07
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the
optimum
dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the
disclosure, to
include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of
operation,
assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in
the art, and
all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and
described in the
specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the
disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles
of the
disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily
occur to those
skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact
construction and
operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and

equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In
this patent
document, the word "comprising" is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that
items
following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not
excluded. A
reference to an element by the indefinite article "a" does not exclude the
possibility that
more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires
that there be
only one of the elements.
