Abstract

A platform supports a sun shade that can keep a user cool in the sun. The platform comprises a sun shade mechanically coupled to four rods by a series of rod connections. Each rod is inserted into a separate tube with its movement restricted by rod lock. Two tubes are mechanically coupled to a right adjustable shoulder strap. Two tubes are mechanically coupled to a left adjustable shoulder strap. A user can place the left adjustable shoulder strap and the right adjustable shoulder strap on shoulders of the user to provide increased stability to the sun shade.
