Abstract: A rear view mirror with attenuation of glare from head lights of following highway traffic is the subject of this petition for letters patent. A tinted transparent shade piece is moved in its mounting attachment to swing over the face of the rear view mirror located outside the window on the driver's side of the motor vehicle. A more elaborate design model has a motor incorporated into the glare attenuating tinted transparent shade mounting to enable operation without opening the window and without manual input to move the shade into and out of shading position. Photo sensing device is used to detect glare from following highway traffic and in response, to move the shade into glare attenuation position. One claimed design flips the mirror over to the back side which has lower reflectivity. Another claimed design uses a dual face mirror array. The array is modeled after the common billboard advertising sign that rotates vertical slats to expose several different advertising displays within the same frame area.
