A thermal shade as defined by claim 1, for shielding a confined area from the sun's heat, further comprising:
Storage battery means connected to said motor by a circuit containing a first actuating switch for energizing said motor when said first switch is closed andĪn auxiliary battery-charging circuit for said battery, including which comprises:Ī solar cell battery for energizing said storage battery when said second actuating switch is closed.Ĥ. Said air blower being operatively connected to supply air to said air inlet means A thermal shade as defined by claim 1, wherein said means for circulating air through the shade further comprises:Īir inlet means and air outlet means located at opposite ends of the shade A thermal shade as defined by claim 1, wherein said means for circulating air comprises a blower for causing air flow through said longer air path from one end of the shade to the other thereby to improve the insulating ability of the shade.ģ. Means for circulating air through said air space to increase the insulative effect of the thermal shade, said air space being divided into a path for the flow of air provided between said panels, said path being longer than the distance from one end to the other of said panels, said path being provided by attaching each of said panels to its adjacent panel in parallel spaced lines to form air passages therebetween in such a way that each of said spaced attachment lines are terminated short of alternately opposite edges of the thermal shade, leaving openings for the passage of air from one said air passage to the next at alternating edges of the thermal shade.Ģ. Means for releasably mounting said plurality of panels in substantially parallel spaced relationship to the interior surface of the area to be insulated, so that one side of the thermal shade is insulated from the heat or cold prevailing on the other side thereof by reflection of said highly reflective surface, as well as by the insulating effect of said air space between said panels and Means for supporting said panels in spaced, substantially parallel relationship to each other to provide air space therebetween Thermal insulating shade to be placed adjacent to and substantially overlaying the interior surface of an area to be insulated, the exterior surface of said area being exposed to variable weather conditions including sun's heat and winter's cold, the thermal insulating shade being both reversible and removable and comprising:Ī plurality of panels, at least one of which has a highly reflective surface on one side thereof, said panels being shaped to conform in size and shape to the interior surface of the area to be insulated
