Abstract
Abstract foldable sunblind essentially comprising a top bar 1, a band of sun-screening material 3 folded in zig-zag fashion and a lower bar 4 fastened to the underside of said band and suspended by means of two or more pull strings passed through the zigzag strip of the band and guided along the top bar, and wherein the top edge of the sunblind band 3 is inclined at an angle to be predetermined to the side edges and the top edge is connected with the top bar 1 at only one point and the remaining part of the top edge is freely displaceably guided along the top bar 1, whereby the lower bar 4 can be fully drawn against the top bar 1, whilst owing to the free guiding at the top side the band 3 still folds in the prescribed manner.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
111 words
A foldable sunblind essentially comprising a top bar, a band of sun-screening material folded in zigzag fashion and arranged below said bar and a lower bar fastened to the underside of the band and suspended by means of two or more pull strings passed through the zigzag strips of the band and guided along the top bar characterized in that the top edge of the band of material is inclined at an angle to be predetermined to the side edges of the band and the top. edge in connected with the top bar at only one point, the remaining part of the top edge being freely slidable along the top bar.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
111 words
A foldable sunblind essentially comprising a top bar, a band of sun-screening material folded in zigzag fashion and arranged below said bar and a lower bar fastened to the underside of the band and suspended by means of two or more pull strings passed through the zigzag strips of the band and guided along the top bar characterized in that the top edge of the band of material is inclined at an angle to be predetermined to the side edges of the band and the top. edge in connected with the top bar at only one point, the remaining part of the top edge being freely slidable along the top bar.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
A foldable sunblind as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the fastening point is located near the long side edge of the band.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A foldable sunblind as claimed in claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the guide of the top edge is formed by a cord threaded through openings in the tissue band.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A foldable sunblind as claimed in claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the guide is integrally formed with the top bar as a spray-casting or an extruded profile.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
