Abstract: A vehicle shield device is provided for mounting on a front of a vehicle. The vehicle shield device has a hood protector portion and a fender protector portion for protecting portions of the hood and the fender from contact with airflow. The vehicle shield further includes an airflow deflector portion extending from a back edge of the hood protector portion for deflecting airflow away from a windshield of the vehicle. The hood protector portion, the fender protector portions, and the airflow deflector portion cooperate to form a continuous airflow engaging surface extending across a portion of the front of a vehicle.

Abstract: A protective cover (13) for windscreens of vehicles comprises a single layer polypropylene base sheet (16) and an acrylate adhesive layer (18). The cover extends over the glazed windscreen and at least a portion of the surrounding frame. The film (13) serves to protect the windshield against damage during transport from factory to showroom and can be easily removed on arrival.

Abstract: A visor 10 which can be installed over an automobile windshield and a visor housing 20 which can house the visor 10 on a roof 31 of an automobile 30 are employed. A pair of visor holders 40 connected to the front end of the visor 10 protect the visor 10 from the air pressure created when the automobile 30 is in motion.

Abstract: A deployable windshield sun visor made of tinted plastic, or tinted safety glass is retracted and stored in the roof of the vehicle. The shield is deployed upon the activation of a switch and will then move down upon the windshield to thereby lessen glare and otherwise operate to decrease the brightness of the sun's effects. The panel or visor may be either on the outside or inside surface of the windshield and is in close connection to it. Optionally the panel may be constructed as a pair of panels so that the driver and passenger may choose whether the panel should be deployed on their side or not.

Abstract: An apparatus for use with an automobile having a windshield includes a screen member and an actuator mechanism. The screen member is sized to substantially cover the windshield and to be stored within a housing defined by the automobile.

Abstract: A structure and method for protecting a windshield from damage and therefore the development of cracks due to stone or other impact on windshields around the peripheral area. An impact resistant barrier is placed around the periphery of the windshield. The barrier is preferably a clear polymeric film, but could be opaque, rubber, plastic or metal. The barrier is placed on the glass surface and in contact adjacent to the windshield molding. The width of the barrier is selected to eliminate the higher incidence of damage to the peripheral area. The barrier can be combined with a sunlight blocking ingredient to reduce degeneration of urethane which is used in mounting the windshield to the vehicle. A kit can be assembled with the elements needed to place the barrier on a windshield. The barrier can be applied in fluid form which achieves a film. The barrier can extend not only over the front surface, but also over the edge surface and the back surface.

Abstract: A device for protecting a windshield of a motor vehicle against adverse weather comprises a cover so dimensioned to at least substantially cover the windshield and a plurality of straps extending from the cover for securing the cover against the windshield. A plurality of fibriles extend from a front side of the cover facing the windshield. In a preferred form, a waterproof backing material is adjoined along a back side of the cover opposite the fibrous side to display an image visible from the exterior of the motor vehicle. The cover is secured to the motor vehicle by engaging the hook and loop fastening material on the free ends of the straps with complementary fastening material in the interior of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A roller sunshade for mounting on a car roof mainly includes an automatic sunshade winding mechanism and a plurality of adjustable sucker sets. Each of the two adjustable sucker sets includes two adhering sucker mechanisms and a long metal member. The adhering sucker mechanism each includes from bottom to top a sucker main body, a supporting board that is rotatable by up to 360 degrees relative to the sucker main body, a locating block, a buffer washer, a ring member, and a bolt. These two adjustable sucker sets are symmetrically attached by vacuum suction to predetermined positions at two sides of the car roof. Thereafter, the automatic sunshade winding mechanism is connected to tops of the two adjustable sucker sets to provide a shady place for use outdoors.

Abstract: A hail shield which consists of a laminated design, having multiple layers of resilient shock-absorbing material for padding, strength and shape. An outer layer of high density polyethylene (“HDPE”) mesh is layered with closed cell foam to produce a 2-ply covering material. In a preferred embodiment, a thin vinyl scrim or polyethylene sheet is layered between the HDPE mesh and the closed cell foam to provide a 3-ply covering material. The shield is constructed of two generally rectangular top panels affixed to each other along their common longest sides, each top panel being flanked by generally trapezoidally-shaped side panels. The seams between the panels are preferably constructed using a sewing technique which produces a reflexive joint between the panels, tending to fold the panels towards each other, and giving the over all hail shield a reflexive tendency to “grip” the car to increase the attachment security of the shield.

Abstract: A vehicle window shield system for preventing unauthorized access to the interior of a vehicle through the windows or windshields. The vehicle window shield system includes a plurality of flexible lining members adapted for positioning adjacent to an interior face of each window of a vehicle. Each lining member is retractable using a reversing motor and a pulley system coupled to the lining member. In an embodiment, a front lining member includes a central portion with side flanges inserted into slots of respective side portions. The side portions are pivotally coupled to the central portion and include slits in the side portions to permit positioning of the front lining member adjacent a curved window.

Abstract: A retractable automobile shade device having a pair of sun shade panels for covering the front and rear of the vehicle which retract within a rectangular housing. The housing is mounted on the roof of the vehicle via special clamps which attach to the luggage rack or the rain gutters. Each shade panel has a pull handle located on the end for manual deployment. An optional privacy screen that surrounds and encloses the vehicle adds further protection.

Abstract: A apparatus for covering automobile windshields includes a housing adapted to be secured to an automobile roof and a canopy movable between a retracted position substantially aligned with the housing and an extended position substantially aligned with the windshield.
