Abstract

A sunshade comprises a canopy including a first gore piece and a second gore piece. The first gore piece has a first edge and the second gore piece has a second edge. The first edge of the first gore piece and the second edge of the second gore piece are adjacent to each other without being sewn together, thereby defining a passage. A mesh is sewn to and thus covers each passage, allowing wind to pass through the mesh. When the sunshade is subject to a wind flowing upward from an underside of the canopy, at least a portion of the wind passes through the mesh, thereby reducing the force exerting on the canopy.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A sunshade comprising a canopy including a first gore piece and a second gore piece, said first gore piece having a first edge, said second gore piece having a second edge, said first edge of said first gore piece and said second edge of said second gore piece being adjacent to each other without being sewn together, thereby defining a passage, a mesh being sewn to and thus covering the passage, allowing wind to pass through said mesh.  
     
     
         2 . A sunshade comprising a canopy including a plurality of annularly disposed gores, each said gore including an upper gore piece and a lower gore piece, each said upper gore piece having a lower edge, each said lower gore piece having an upper edge, said lower edge of each said upper gore piece and said upper edge of an associated one of said lower gore pieces being adjacent to each other without being sewn together, thereby defining a passage, a mesh being sewn to and thus covering each said passage, allowing wind to pass through said mesh.  
     
     
         3 . The sunshade as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said meshes on said gores together form a polygonal mesh area.  
     
     
         4 . A sunshade comprising a canopy including a plurality of annularly disposed gores, each said gore including an upper gore piece, an intermediate gore piece, and a lower gore piece, each said upper gore piece having a lower edge, each said intermediate gore piece having an upper edge and a lower edge, each said lower gore piece having an upper edge and a lower edge, said lower edge of each said upper gore piece and said lower edge of an associated one of said intermediate gore pieces being adjacent to each other without being sewn together, thereby defining an upper passage, an upper mesh being sewn to and thus covering each said upper passage, allowing wind to pass through said upper mesh, said lower edge of each said intermediate gore piece and said upper edge of an associated one of said lower gore pieces being adjacent to each other without being sewn together, thereby defining a lower passage, a lower mesh being sewn to and thus covering each said lower passage, allowing wind to pass through said lower mesh.  
     
     
         5 . The sunshade as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said upper meshes on said gores together form a polygonal mesh area.  
     
     
         6 . The sunshade as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said lower meshes on said gores together form a polygonal mesh area.  
     
     
         7 . The sunshade as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said upper meshes on said gores together form an inner polygonal mesh area, and wherein said lower meshes on said gores together form an outer polygonal mesh area surrounding said inner polygonal mesh area.
