Abstract: The sun screen and console of the present invention provides a panel which is slideably mounted to the vehicle and movable fore and aft within the vehicle in a generally horizontal plane between a retracted position and a forwardly extended position which provides cover above the passenger's and/or driver's seat. To the forward edge of the sliding panel, there is pivotally mounted a visor which is movable between a raised stored position and a lowered use position. The invention also contemplates a console comprising a cantilever beam mount which, in the preferred embodiment, comprises a pair of parallel spaced beams which are mounted in a cantilevered fashion to the rear roof area of the vehicle and which extend forwardly under a transparent forward roof. In a preferred embodiment, the beams provide guide slots for the pair of sliding sun screen panels.

Abstract: A beverage container holder for a vehicle includes a housing having a recess for receiving a container holder member for storage. The container holder member includes foldable members which unfold to define the holder member when the holder member is extended from the housing for use. In another embodiment, the beverage container holder includes a support having a well formed therein with a vertically movable platform located in the well. A control structure is provided which extends between the support and the platform for controlling the motion of the platform as a container is placed therein to provide a vertically adjustable support floor for the container placed in the well.

Abstract: An interior light for a vehicle includes a lamp housing for attachment to a vehicle with a lamp positioned within the housing. A cover panel is coupled to the housing, and a light control panel is slidably mounted between the housing and cover panel. The light control panel includes at least a pair of spaced sections which can be selectively aligned with the lamp, with each of the sections uniquely controlling light from the lamp to provide a selectable lighting effect by movement of the light control panel.

Abstract: An indirect lighting system includes a housing which defines an outwardly facing reflector. Coupled centrally to the reflector and spaced therefrom is a removable shield which, in one embodiment of the present invention, covers a light mounted to the center area of the reflector, and in another embodiment of the present invention, includes the light source itself. The light positioned behind the shield in either embodiment is reflected by the relatively large area defined by the reflective housing.

Abstract: A collapsible visor is made of a flexible visor panel supported on a frame. In one embodiment, the flexible panel includes a plurality of interconnected panels which fold on one another in an accordion-like fashion for collapsing the visor into a housing mounted within a vehicle headliner. Guide and support means couple the flexible visor panel to the frame for supporting the flexible panel in its movement between a retracted stored position and an extended use position.
