DEVICE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THE SUN AND/OR AGAINST INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS SUCH AS RAIN, HAIL AND SNOW

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) for protecting against the sun and/or inclement weather conditions such as rain, hail and snow. It consists of a flat sheet of material within which is defined a protective surface (20) and which is provided with a handle means (30) allowing a user to hold said protective surface (20) above his head, and said handle means (30) being approximately perpendicular to the protective surface, at one end of the latter in the position of use. The invention consists in that the handle means is also defined in a flat sheet of material, the device, that is to say both the protective surface (20) and the handle means (30), being essentially flat in a position of non-use, and said handle means, furthermore being shaped so as to extend between two opposite edges of said protective surface, and so that its deployment relative to the protective surface (20) whereby it is extended approximately perpendicular to the protective surface (20), causes at least two opposite edges of said protective surface to slope and keeps them at this slope.
