A person entering the automobile can experience an uncomfortable oppressive burning sensation. Another problem associated with an unattended automobile is the possibility that a person might look through one of the automobile windows in search of loose items that could be removed or stolen. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention is concerned with a curtain assembly installable on the window of an automobile for adjustment between an open position along side edges of the window and a closed position spanning the window surface. Such a curtain assembly will prevent solar rays from passing through the window to heat the interior space within the automobile. The curtain assembly will also conceal the automobile interior space from the view of persons passing by the automobile; items left in the automobile are less likely to be stolen. In a preferred practice of the invention, two curtain assemblies are used for the front window of an automobile.
Each curtain assembly comprises a tubular frame installable along one edge of the window, and a foldable accordian- type curtain having one edge secured to the tubular frame; a handle at the free edge of the curtain can be pulled to draw the curtain across the window. Each curtain assembly spans one half of the window area. Each foldable curtain is folded against the associated tubular frame by a retraction mechanism located within the frame. A tension spring is used in conjunction with a line- pulley system to move one set of pulleys away from a set of non- movable pulleys, whereby a flexible line (or cord) trained around the pulleys is drawn into the tubular frame to retract the curtain to a folded condition against the frame. In an extended usage of the invention, a foldable curtain structure according to the invention can be used on the window of a building for privacy or shade purposes.

FIG. 8 is a perspective view of a curtain assembly used on a building window. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a mounting device used on the FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTIONAs shown in FIG. The visor combination device consists of two separate but symmetric visor devices (1. L. One end of the foldable visor curtain (1. A or 1. 1B for mutual adhesion of the two visor devices (1.
Each curtain (1. 0) has a pull handle (1. A) designed for manually drawing the visor curtain (1. As shown in FIG. 2, the tubular frame (2.
The tube also has two sets of mounting holes (2. The holes (2. 1) are aligned with holes (1. L; as seen in FIG. L includes two parallel runs passing through the aligned holes 1. Referring to FIGS.
A) and a lower cover (3. B). The upper cover (3. A) comprises a rod(3. The other end of Spring (4. Two pulleys (6. 1,6. The lower cover (3. B) on tube (2. 0) carries a pin (3.
The aforementioned tractive tying line L runs back and forth around the four pulleys so as to actuate the foldable visor curtain (1. FIG. 4) and the collapsed condition (FIG. As shown in FIGS. Each pad (7. 0) is provided with a hook structure (7. Each pad (8. 0) forms two facing grooves or pockets (8. A flat outer surface on each pad (8.
As seen in FIGS. 6 and 7, each groove (8. As shown in FIGS. Each pad (8. 0) is pivotably adjustably connected to the associated pad (7. As shown in FIG. 2 and 3, when the visor device (1. L extends through holes (1.
Within tube (2. 0), the tractive tying line L is integrated into a single ply to wind around the pulleys (6. L are fixed or anchored in the grooves (2. FIG. 2). As shown in FIG.
However, as shown in FIG. F is applied to the pull handle (1. L is pulled out from tube (2. FIG. 4. The present invention consists of two symmetric similarly- constructed visor devices (1. A and 1. 1B can be adhered together to hold the two curtains in extended (closed) positions; patches 1. A and 1. 1B serve as latches to keep the curtains closed. The visor assemblies (1.
FIG. 8 shows a single curtain assembly installed on an indoor window (9. In such an installation it is not necessary to provide mounting pads (7. Instead, the covers (9. As shown in FIG. 9, a tube end cover (9. FIG. 8), whereby tube (2.
Alternately, a hook- and- loop fastener with a hook side (or loop side) can be adhered to the back of tube (2. When the visor device (1. A) on the pull handle (1. The mechanism for retracting the curtain to its folded (open) state can be the same as shown and described for the car window- curtain assembly.
