Benefits of technology

The present patent provides a retractable sun-shield that provides protection from direct sunlight without the limitations of a brimmed hat. The sun-shield is easily erectable and collapsible, making it convenient for outdoor users and reducing the size of the sun-shield when not in use. Additionally, the sun-shield provides flexibility in blocking sunlight from any direction while minimizing obstruction of the user's vision.

Problems solved by technology

However the use of a brimmed hat for that purpose is ineffective because prevents the free flow of air between the head and the hat resulting in the accumulation of heat.
Other devices, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,112,957 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,657,037, disclose complexes and not easy retractable sun shields.
