  • Patent number: 4580829
    Abstract: A vehicle windshield visor affording adjustable protection from the sun and glare ahead and from the side of the vehicle is disclosed. An opaque first visor has a second similarly shaped but transparent and tinted visor supported in a pivotal relationship to the first visor. A hinge assembly sleeve supports the second visor along an edge of the first visor. A hinge assembly shaft supports the sleeve which is rotatable and extendable with relation to the shaft. Detents on the shaft engage longitudinal channels formed in the sleeve to permit selective rotation and extension of the sleeve with respect to the shaft. In one embodiment, the hinge assembly and second visor are removably attached to the first visor. In a variation of this first embodiment, the hinge assembly and second visor are permanently attached to the first visor pivotal support member. In a second embodiment, the first and second visors are both mounted on the sleeve.
