Abstract: Provided is a windshield for a low speed vehicle such as a golf car. The windshield comprises a hinge and a top mount allowing the windshield to fold up for improved upper body safety and improved air circulation.
Abstract: A two-piece front windshield for a Utility Terrain Vehicle (UTV) has a lower section of the windshield having a forward lip at its upper edge. The lower windshield is attached to the front of the vehicle roll cage frame. A removable upper section of the windshield is attached to the front of the vehicle roll cage frame above the lower windshield supported by the forward lip and held in place by a quick disconnect clamp system with the ability to be quickly removed and repositioned into a rear storage channel behind the vehicle seats to be used as a rear window. The upper section of the windshield can be placed back into the front windshield position at anytime.
Abstract: A windshield system according to particular embodiments of the invention comprises: (1) a first windshield portion defining a windshield fastener receiving opening; (2) a second windshield portion connected to rotate between: (A) a closed position, in which the second windshield portion is substantially coplanar with the first windshield portion, and (B) an open position, in which the first and second windshield portions are spaced apart from, and co-facing, each other; and (3) a windshield fastener that is adapted for maintaining the second windshield portion in an open or a closed position. In particular embodiments, at least a portion of the windshield fastener is disposed within the windshield fastener receiving opening.
Abstract: A device for closing an opening formed through the bodywork of a vehicle, the device comprising a fixed panel and a panel that constitutes a moving panel relative to the fixed panel, the moving panel being connected to the fixed panel by functional elements providing the required mobility, the functional elements being fitted to the face of the fixed panel that is directed towards the inside of the vehicle.
Abstract: An improved split windshield-assembly of the type for attachment to a pair of laterally spaced and vertically extending front support posts of a recreation vehicle includes a lower windshield panel and an upper windshield panel. The upper windshield panel is pivotally connected along a top side edge of the lower windshield panel, and is movable from a closed position to an open position. The improvement in the windshield assembly includes a retainer clip and fastener located on an upper portion of a least one of the front support posts to releasably hold the upper windshield panel in the closed position.
Abstract: An improved split windshield assembly includes a retainer clip constructed of a flexible material, and a flexible, hollow clamp. The clip is for being attached to an upper portion of at least one of the front support posts of a recreation vehicle for releasably holding the upper windshield panel in a closed position. The hollow clamp has a base, and first and second hollow arms. The base is fixedly attached to the lower windshield panel at a lower portion thereof. The first and second hollow arms have opposed, closely spaced-apart inside surfaces which define a longitudinally-extending, windshield-holding channel. The windshield-holding channel engages and holds a curved top edge of the upper windshield panel when the upper windshield panel is in the open position.
