Abstract: A sunroof air deflector and adjustable hold-down and latching system. The main body portion of the deflector includes a pair of opposed pockets each including bottom and side wall portions. The bottom wall includes portions defining an elongated transverse slot, a fastener received in the slot and a hold-down hook having an upper portion adjustably secured to the fastener. The pockets include removable covers having cover retainers received in the pocket walls, and the outer margins of the covers overlie the pocket-forming areas. In one form, the retainers are received in slots extending outwardly as narrower continuations of the fastener receiving slots.

Abstract: An air deflector for a roof opening has an upper shield unit and a lower mounting strip. The mounting strip has a narrow portion to allow flexibility in conforming to the roof surface.

Abstract: An air flow control device for attachment to a window frame of a vehicle door. The device includes a flow deflector element mounting clips and fasteners securing the clips to the deflector element. The deflector element has an upper margin adapted to contact the outer surface of the window frame and the clip element lies between a part of the window frame and a dual channel insert, one channel of which receives a window frame-forming seam and the other of which receives the window glass. The clips lie between the insert and the window frame and bias the upper margin of the deflector into or toward contact with the window frame such that the clip itself does not contact the outer window frame surface.

Abstract: A shield assembly for attachment to the hood of the road vehicle wherein the shield assembly includes a one-piece deflector unit with a principal section adapted to protect the exterior surface of the vehicle hood and a rearwardly extending mounting section, a plurality of mounting brackets, each including hood attachment and shield attachment sections, with the mounting brackets being secured to the shield by frangible fasteners having an ultimate yield strength such that forces tending to separate the deflector unit from the brackets will cause the fasteners to break before the elastic limits of the deflectors unit are reached or exceeded.

Abstract: This invention relates generally to windshield assemblies and windshield mounting systems for motorcycles, and in particular, to a manually adjustable and readily removable windshield system primarily intended for use with motorcycles, scootors, and the like.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to windshields and fairings for motorcycles and the like, and more particularly, to an improved motorcycle windshield which is secured to a portion of the motorcycle or like supporting structure in a novel manner so as to provide reduced breakage, improved safety, and other desirable advantages and characteristics.

Abstract: A safety mirror for cycles which includes a stem having a reduced diameter or breakaway portion lying adjacent the mounting portion of the stem and remote from the mirror head. The reduced diameter or breakaway portion preferably lies closely adjacent the upper surface of the locking nut.

Abstract: A safety-type improved motorcycle windshield assembly is described. The windshield panel has lower, central, and upper portions, with at least the upper portion thereof being transparent. The lower portion of the windshield panel is attached to a first part of a motorcycle with which the shield is to be associated in use, and mounting rods attach a part of the windshield panel disposed above the lower portion of said panel to the same or to another part of the motorcycle which is fixed with respect to the first motorcycle part. The mounting rods each include an end portion disposed remotely of the windshield panel, and end portion disposed proximate to the windshield panel, and an intermediate portion extending between the end portions thereof. The proximate end portions include means attaching the windshield panel to the proximate end portions.
