Abstract
A foldable umbrella fan is constructed of a form-retaining pleated shield and a protective support binder. The pleated shield of the umbrella fan may be fanned open 360.degree. into a full circle for use as an umbrella. Alternatively, the pleated shield may be fanned partially open for use as a fan. The pleated shield also may be fully collapsed to store the closed umbrella fan in a briefcase, handbag, or pocket.
