Abstract: A steering wheel cover having an overlying front panel and a secondary rear panel attached thereto to form a pocket into which the associated steering wheel can be slidably and releasably received. The overlying front panel and seconary rear panel are each constructed from at least two sheets of metallized nylon having outer selvages bonded to each other to form at least one sealed air pocket. In the preferred embodiment, the overlying front panel also contains an intermediate insulating sheet completely contained within the two respective metallized sheets. The intermediate insulating sheet has a synthetic material base and an overlying layer bonded thereto. The overlying layer is attached to the base to form a plurality of individually sealed air pockets. The base of the intermediate insulating layer is attached to one sheet of metallized plastic, while the second sheet of metallized plastic overlays the intermediate insulating layer to form a large air pocket therebetween.

Abstract: A removable screen adapted to be attached to the interior of a vehicular windshield and configured to cover and correspond thereto for inhibiting the transfer of heat, solar energy, ultraviolet radiation and the like through the windshield into the interior of the associated vehicle. The removable screen includes a flexible sheet having dimensions corresponding to the vehicular windshield which is composed of a metallized plastic film, and means for removably mounting the flexible sheet of the interior of the windshield. The flexible sheet may be composed of multiple layers of the metallized plastic film which are joined to define at least one sealed air pocket. The metallized plastic film employed is essentially impervious to the transfer of air in addition to the transfer of heat and ultraviolet energy.
