a material to protect from direct sun heat, light, UVA, UVB, sun
rays or other rays or light reflections that may cause
inconvenience, harm or damage to the skin, hair, eyes, plants,
pets, equipment and electronics and may comprise a clamp, or other
system to keep the sunshade component all together, The arm may be
flexible but strong and steady to support the sunshade component
weight in multiple positions and withstand adverse outdoor and wind
conditions, included but no limited to gusted winds, and must have
at least one quick connector in one end, e.g. a female tread, and
configured to attach permanently or temporally to a support member
in the second end, to be able to attach the sunshade to another

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Umbrellas have traditionally being used to provide
protection from rain and sun in a variety of leisure and
work-related situations. i.e. personal umbrellas protects persons
from sun and rain. Other larger umbrellas are used on the pool,
patio and beach to protect from exposure to the sun while sitting,
eating or just relaxing.
[0002] Umbrellas conventionally have a center post with a free end
and an extendable canopy in the second. The canopy is generally
supported by ribs radiating from the post, and is generally made of
a material such as a cloth fabric or plastic with a fixed
orientation with respect to the post. The canopy in some designs
can extend up to eight feet for a larger beach or backyard [0003]
Umbrella. Such larger beach umbrellas typically have an elongated
post that can be insert into a base support such as the sand and/or
a heavy base to support the post vertically, keeping it steady,
especially during windy conditions-features that can effectively
stabilize an umbrella canopy, but which also make movement and
positioning of the umbrellas cumbersome.
[0004] Furthermore, Due to its static nature, patio, beach, and
pool umbrellas have limited flexibility to efficiently be re
position and follow the continue changing correlation of the earth
to the sun. for example where at noon in a 4 chair table with an
umbrella positioned on the center, 4 chairs may be shaded, at 7, 8,
9, 10 AM and 4, 5, 6, 7 PM. Just one or two of them may be shaded.
In this case the solution will be to move the chairs to the shaded
area, causing inconvenience to the users. a similar situation also
happen while lying in a lounge chair or other outdoor environment,
where in some hours of the day, sun, heat, and light hit areas or
elements we would like to protect. I.e. some parts of our skin, our
eyes, a baby, our hair, or a living organism; Furthermore, in
indoor environments, a bird cage, a computer next to a window, the
Electronic equipment of a boat or a tractor, the glare in the
computer screen, in this cases, umbrellas have limitations to be
placed in some particular or random positions, in order to achieve
that goal of protecting.
[0005] Other considerations are, the weight and bulkiness of
personal, patio, pool and beach umbrellas, which make them
inconvenient to be carried.
[0006] Accordingly, there remains a need in the art for improved
shades, which provide new and useful features to users.
