Abstract

A stretchable vehicle window shade that may have a panel and a positioning tab attached to the panel. The positioning tab may have a magnet disposed inside. The magnet may be adapted so that a magnetic force allows attachment to a metallic portion of a door frame of a vehicle.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A window shade comprising:
a panel;
a perimeter reducing mechanism attached to the panel, the perimeter reducing mechanism having at least one hook and at least one loop that is adapted to reduce a perimeter of the panel; and
at least one positioning tab attached to the panel, the at least one positioning tab having a magnet disposed therein,
wherein the magnet is adapted to attach to a metallic portion of a door frame.

2. The window shade recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is composed of at least two materials.

3. The window shade recited in claim 1 , wherein the the at least one hook is adapted to receive the at least one loop to reduce a surface area of the panel.

4. The window shade recited in claim 1 , wherein the panel is adapted to stretch to a larger surface area.

5. The window shade recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is adapted to provide shock absorption and a waterproof environment to the magnet.

6. The window shade recited in claim 1 , wherein the panel is adapted to fit an entirety of a vehicle window.

7. A window shade comprising:
a stretchable panel;
at least one hook and at least one loop disposed around the panel, the at least one hook is adapted to receive the at least one loon to reduce a surface area of the panel; and
at least one positioning tab attached to the panel, the at least one positioning tab having a magnet disposed therein,
wherein the magnet is adapted to attach to a metallic portion of a door frame.

8. The window shade recited in claim 7 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is composed of at least two materials.

9. The window shade recited in claim 7 , further comprising a frame disposed around the stretchable panel.

10. The window shade recited in claim 7 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is adapted to provide shock absorption and a waterproof environment to the magnet.

11. The window shade recited in claim 7 , wherein a perimeter of the frame is adapted to fit substantially a perimeter of a vehicle window.

12. A window shade comprising:
a panel having a frame, the frame having a perimeter;
a perimeter reducing mechanism having at least one hook and at least one loop, the perimeter reducing mechanism adapted to reduce the perimeter of the frame; and
at least one positioning tab attached to the panel or the frame, the at least one positioning tab having a magnet disposed therein,
wherein the magnet is adapted to attach to a metallic portion of a door frame.

13. The window shade recited in claim 12 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is composed of at least two materials.

14. The window shade recited in claim 12 , wherein the at least one loop is a buttonhole disposed around the panel.

15. The window shade recited in claim 14 , wherein the at least one hook is adapted to mate with the at least one buttonhole to reduce a surface area of the panel.

16. The window shade recited in claim 12 , wherein the at least one positioning tab is adapted to provide shock absorption and a waterproof environment to the magnet.

17. The window shade recited in claim 12 , wherein the perimeter of the frame is adapted to stretch to fit substantially a perimeter of a vehicle window.
