  • Patent number: 5921607
    Abstract: A sun visor extension includes a base and an extension member connected to move relative to the base. Once the base is attached to a surface of an existing vehicle sun visor, a user selectively slides the extension member between a stowed position either in front of or behind the sun visor and a deployed position extending laterally from the sun visor. One embodiment of the base includes a channel for receiving an edge of the extension member, and the extension member includes opposing ends having stop members to prevent the extension member from being separated from the base. The position of the base relative to the sun visor is adjustable to allow the position of the fully deployed extension member to be adjusted.

  • Patent number: 4777746
    Abstract: A laminated mount for standard sized photographs including a backboard covered on one surface thereof with a mounting adhesive, to which mounting adhesive are secured two concentrically aligned release sheets, and a separate photographic mat. The backboard is of rectangular configuration sufficiently larger than the rectangular configuration of the standard sized photograph to provide a border around the standard sized photograph. The two release sheets are separated by a score line. The first release sheet is of substantially identical dimension to the standard sized photograph to be mounted. The second release sheet is of substantially identical dimension to the mat to be mounted to the backboard. Removal of the center section release sheet allows for adhesive contact with and virtually automatic alignment with the standard sized photograph. Removal of the second release sheet framing the first release sheet provides an adhesive area to which the mat can be applied.
