  • Patent number: 5033786
    Abstract: A dashboard or side window mounted reflected glare shield to be positioned within the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle either adjacent to the windshield or attached to a vehicle door frame via a holder to absorb and intercept light rays or reflected glare. The glare shield is formed of a thin sheet, like cardboard that is inscribed with horizontal fold lines and reinforced with one or more malleable wires that are inserted into the sheet thus allowing the user to adjust the shield as desired for use so that it will hold the shape into which it is molded until it is readjusted. The shield may be inscribed with markings that are kept covered with a dark material that can be removed so that the shield may be used as an emergency road sign.
