  • Patent number: 4229035
    Abstract: An automobile windshield rain deflector which functions as a result of a mathematical relationship between rain deflector, forward velocity of vehicle windshield and downward velocity of rain drops; and comprises a shield arranged above the driver's line of vision and is positioned substantially in front of the windshield, with a substantial gap between the deflector shield and the windshield. The shield is connected to a support means for movement between an inoperative orientation to an operative orientation by which a substantially rain free clear vision zone is provided on the windshield. In addition, the support means is movable relative to the windshield to adjust the position of the shield in its operative orientation so that the substantially rain free clear vision zone always coincides with the driver's line of vision regardless of the vehicle's speed or rainfall quantity.
