Abstract: Attenuating or blocking light in a vehicle includes a rotatingly connected first and second sheet each with a plurality of holes and apertures, respectively. During use, a hole of the first sheet is registered with an aperture of the second sheet and both the hole and aperture are securely fitted about a support arm of a rear view mirror in the vehicle. Because the sheets are tinted or opaque, and fitted to eliminate space gaps, light incoming to the vehicle is attenuated or blocked. To adjust positioning, users realign a second hole of the first sheet with a second aperture of the second sheet and fit both about the support arm. Because of the arrangement of the sheets relative to one another, and their relative pivot point locations, the sheets hang in a different position on the support arm, after adjustment, higher or lower than before.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle visor that may be used on either the right side or the left side of a vehicle without the need for side specific parts. The vehicle visor has a textured outer surface requiring no additional finishing covering. The vehicle visor may also provide for the mounting of a vanity mirror or a vanity mirror and light. Thus, the vehicle visor of the present invention is non-handed resulting in cost savings and simplified assembly.

Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a polarized filter film having a plurality of light-filtering layers 20, 22, 24, each having a different polarization aperture and tint hue that can be selectively combined to form a polarized filter film having a combined opacity rating of 5% to 55% when applied to a transparent medium 18 such as a window. The combined polarized filter film 10 is comprised of a plurality of layers 20, 22, 24 of light-filtering material wherein each layer has a plurality of apertures 26, 28 positioned either vertically 36 or angularly 38 so that the horizontal rays associated with glare are reduced dramatically. Each layer of film has a plurality of slotted apertures 36, 38 that is biased or offset from the overlaying light-filtering film apertures whereby varying degrees of light-blocking properties can be achieved by using the light-filtering films in conjunction with additional layers.

Abstract: To provide a quite novel automotive vehicle floor mat and an automotive vehicle floor mat retainer unit, in which retainer pins and retainer holes are provided at two positions to make it possible to positively perform the positioning upon laying the mat, and in addition, the positions and the arrangement interval of these retainer pins and the retainer holes are suitably selected to thereby dispense with using a structure for adjusting the interval between the retainer pins, also to cope with change of the hole positions due to the aging change, to make it possible to use the mat for a long period of time without a fear that the retainer pins could not be fitted into the retainer holes, to narrow the interval not too much to thereby make it possible to perform the positive positioning upon laying the mat, i.e.
