Seat-caps, joined together by yoke with yoke flap extending to center console of automobile, fit snuggly over headrest portion of seats. Auto safety glass, held in place by snaps in yoke fitted through holes in safety glass, is suspended between seats deflecting and rerouting normal airflow between, around and over seatbacks. Application is for all open-air/convertible automobiles. Variations of original include: factory/custom built seats with permanent caps fitted with snaps/zippers for installation/removal of yoke/safety glass wind deflecting device.

Abstract: A system for automatically detaching a windshield from a vehicle cab comprises a pressure applying device mounted between a windshield and a frame element, a roll-over condition sensor, and a controller connected to receive a signal indicating a roll-over condition from the roller-over condition sensor and connected to activate the pressure applying device responsive to receiving said signal. The pressure applying device may be one or more pyrotechnic devices. The system includes a delay function to delay activating the pressure applying device to allow the vehicle to come to a rest.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air scoop device for installation on a windshield header member of an open top vehicle, for example, convertible cars, water boats, water crafts and the like. The air scoop device has a scoop body configuring a hollow interior space capable of receiving air through a first area into the hollow interior space and directing the air out of the hollow interior space through a second area towards a foot-well area of the open top vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle immobilisation device (60) is provided for securing to a vehicle windscreen, comprising screening means (46a; 46b) which is changeable from a first, more compact configuration to a second configuration and which, when the device is in an in-use disposition on the vehicle windscreen, serves to impair a driver's view through the windscreen. Suction grip means (40a; 40b) are provided for holding said screening means in the in-use disposition on the windscreen by suction. Release means (51) are also provided to enable release of the suction of said suction grip means so as to allow removal of the device from the windscreen.

Abstract: A wind deflector assembly attachable to the exterior, front or side surface of a vehicle windshield or body, adaptable to be connected to differently shaped and contoured windshields and bodywork, tunable to obtain the desired wind deflection effect and, in some embodiments, removable and reattachable to the vehicle windshield or other aerodynamically desirable locations on the vehicle body. The exterior surface mounted adjustable wind deflector of the present invention comprises a transparent, flexible shield along with two integrated mounting assemblies in the preferred embodiment. The mounting assemblies employ a clamshell type connector adapted for adhesive attachment to the exterior front surface of a windshield without having to drill or otherwise alter the windshield.

Abstract: A retractable windshield and collapsible console apparatus can be raised and the windshield extended when needed to afford additional protection to persons from conditions due to environment, and to allow for convenient and safe stowing of the apparatus in the same location without causing an obstruction. The console can be collapsed and stowed into a position which is substantially parallel relative to a base on the floor or other surface of a boat, other vehicle or other structure when not in use.

Abstract: A wind screen for a golf cart. The wind screen is comprised of a frame which defines an opening and screen material is attached to the frame so as to fill the opening. The screen material is selected so as to allow air to travel therethrough while inhibiting the passage of bugs, dust and debris. The wind screen is adapted to be positioned adjacent a windshield of the golf cart such that the passengers in the golf cart can be cooled by air travelling through the wind screen but not have dirt, debris or insects hitting the passengers in the face. In one embodiment, the wind screen is attached to the golf cart through the use of hook and loop fastener material.

Abstract: A windshield assembly for a motorcycle. The shield includes a fixed portion and a movable portion. The movable portion moves within slots in the frame and the movable portion. A compressive force is releasably applied to hold the movable part in place, and to allow it to be moved. The assembly is held in place by mounting brackets which cooperate with locking brackets, and these attach to docking points on the cycle. The brackets or parts thereof may be frangible, wholly or in part.

Abstract: A wind deflector adapted for selective attachment to a support frame is disclosed. The wind deflector includes an elongated fin body having a longitudinal axis, a top side and a bottom side. The bottom side defines a concave arched surface adapted for controlling the flow of air passing thereby. A first mounting clamp and a second mounting clamp are selectively attached to the fin body. Each of the first and second mounting clamps include means for selective attachment to the support frame. The first and second mounting clamps support the fin body for selective rotation about an axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fin body such that the fin body may be readily secured to support frames with a variety of profiles.
