    Abstract: A vehicle venting assembly includes a panel that has an outer surface, an inner surface and a perimeter edge extending between the outer and inner surfaces. The perimeter edge includes a top edge, a bottom edge, a forward edge and a rear edge. The top edge has a shape matching a contour of an upper edge of a vehicle door window opening. The top edge is removably extendable into a window receiving slot of the upper edge. The panel has a vent opening therein extending through the outer and inner surfaces. A tube is coextensive with a peripheral edge of the vent opening and extends outwardly away from the outer surface.

  • Patent number: 5797645
    Abstract: A visor attachable above a side window of a vehicle with a portion curving and extending outwardly and in accordance with the configuration of the forward and top edges of the window opening to shield and deflect rain, snow and noise from entering the passenger compartment through a partially opened window and a wall forming a recessed area in a portion of the visor to reduce air pressure therein as the vehicle travels forward, the wall also forming an inner pocket on the inside of the visor and the wall provided with a plurality of spaced apart small round holes extending through the wall to cause a venturi effect which ventilates stale air from the passenger compartment through the round holes. A rib extends generally horizontally from the wall and divides the depression into two parallel low pressure channels and an outwardly projecting lip is formed along the outward edge of the visor.
