  • 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.

  • Patent number: 5791719
    Abstract: A system for mounting a front hood deflector to a vehicle does not require drilling of the hood to install fasteners. The molded plastic deflector body is retained on the hood by at least one mounting clip which adheres to the hood and includes biasing properties for maintaining solid contact against the vehicle body. The biasing clip also acts on the shield body to frictionally engage the shield retarding removal of the body from the clip. A tab formed in the mounting clip engages the plastic shield after closing the hood to prevent withdrawal of the shield after closing the hood.
