Abstract
Abstract A portable sunshade comprising a disc having a surface area sufficient for shading a particular portion of a user's body, which disc is supported at its edge by a flexible extension that is connected to a rigid extension that in turn is connected to a lamp or suitable supporting device. The flexible section of the extension comprises innerconnecting, individual units; similar to pop beads, that provide a rotating, bendable gooseneck connection that may be lengthened and/or shortened, or that may be connected directly to the clamp. The clamp, clamps the sunshade to a lounge chair or the like, allowing the disc to be positioned to shade the user's face.
