Abstract: A sun visor to be used in a vehicle has a sun visor body with an opening; at least one punched plate having a front side and a back side and a plurality of holes opened between the front side and the back side, which is fitted in the opening of the sun visor body; and at least one light-attenuation plate for attenuating incident light horizontally passing through the holes of the punched plate, which is placed on at least one of the front and back sides of the punched plate. Therefore, the vehicle can be operated safely under the incident morning or evening sunlight.

Abstract: A side window vehicle shade including: (a) a sectorially deployable element having an axis of deployment and being spreadable from a folded configuration into a spread configuration and foldable from a spread configuration into a folded configuration; (b) a securing mechanism for securely yet detachably attaching the sectorially deployable element onto a portion of a vehicle, such that by spreading the element from a folded configuration into a spread configuration a sector of the window is shaded and further such that by folding the spread configuration into a folded configuration, the sector is unshaded; and (c) a mechanism having a rotatable disk for spreading and folding the sectorially deployable element, and designed to self retain a partial spread configuration.

Abstract: Method and device for avoiding reflections and contrasts in vehicle dashboards, wherein the dashboard 1 has one or more ventilation openings 3,4 along and at a distance from the lower edge of the vehicle windshield 2. Each ventilation opening 3,4 is covered by an air permeable cover 8, having a surface structure giving a low or insignificant contrast relative to the upper surface of the dashboard 1.

Abstract: A variable shade sun screen having first and second relatively movable sheets with alignable or offsetable matrices of translucent and opaque portions to selectively vary the opacity of the sun screen. The invention can be used in a sun visor, a sunroof, or adjacent any vehicle surface.

Abstract: A vehicle sun visor provided with two pair of elongated semi-flexible light color panels. The two may overlap one another, or be used separately, to permit the necessary variation in transparency required for day and night time driving The vehicle sun visor can reduce glare from the sun's rays and from the headlights of an oncoming vehicle.

Abstract: A supplemental sun shield for use on a motor vehicle's windshield visor effectively blocks out sun rays which the visor itself is not capable of blocking. The supplemental sun shield comprises a clip member and a glare reducing polymeric sheet element rotatably mounted on the clip member. The clip member has two elongated legs joined at lower terminuses. A front elongated leg has a hook-like arm extending from a front face. The glare reducing polymeric sheet element is generally rectangular-shaped with a slot in an upper area. The slot is shaped to fit over the hook-like arm of the clip member. The sheet element can be moved laterally as needed. The supplemental sun shield can also be moved laterally on the windshield visor as needed by moving the clip member with its attendant glare reducing polymeric sheet element. Further, the sheet element can be radially rotated on the clip member to an angle as needed depending on the driver's seat height and sun's position in the sky.

Abstract: An automobile accessory for use by a driver at night to filter and dim the view of all headlights ahead as they approach and pass by. This simple easy to use glare visor has an unusual shape comprising a predetermined sloping bottom edge which from a driver's view seated behind the steering wheel follows the relative path of all headlights in the opposite lane. A driver always looks under the bottom edge of this glare visor for an unfiltered normal view ahead while simultaneously receiving a filtered view of all headlights. This glare visor frictionally rotates independently on conventional hinge type clips that easily slide onto and grip a vehicle sun visor.

Abstract: A visor extension for an automobile has a clamp with an elongate slot which allows for frictional engagement with the top edge of the existing visor. The clamp is spring loaded to provide sufficient pressure on the visor extension to firmly secure it in position while allowing for adjusting the horizontal position of the extension relative to the existing visor. The extension has an opaque overlapping portion and a tinted extending portion. The opaque portion extends over the existing visor and the tinted portion extends outwardly and downwardly from the opaque portion. The tinted extending portion is shaped to provide coverage especially for the side window to shield the driver from excessive radiation coming through the side window of the vehicle.

Abstract: A sun visor with a plate member disposed within the visor's shell. A vanity mirror is disposed within an opening in the shell and attaches to the plate member via heat stake technology. The plate member doubles as a conventional “core member,” thereby obviating the latter. The plate member is slanted relative to the shell and creates a cavity into which the vanity mirror fits. The vanity mirror is thereby attractively recessed within the opening. No adhesives or fasteners are used to secure the upholstery cover to the visor shell around the opening. Instead, the upholstery cover partially covers the opening and is stretched and securely held in place between the back of the vanity mirror and the plate member.

Abstract: A sun visor for vehicles having a visor body, a recess in a broadside of the visor body, and a mirror unit which is placed in the recess. The mirror unit features a plane mirror, a concave mirror, and a slide cover, and a covering material surrounding the visor body with an opening exposing a mirror field. The arrangement is struck in such a way, that the plane mirror, the concave mirror, or alternatively the slide cover is visible in the mirror field. The slide cover can slide over one of the two mirrors, that is rigidly connected with the mirror unit in the region of the mirror field. The other of the two mirrors can slide over the slide cover.

Abstract: An improved sun visor with a sucker and a Velcro tab is disclosed. The sun visor comprises a reel having a curtain extensively received within the reel. The curtain has a channel along through the bottom thereof and a notch defined in the channel. The sucker and the Velcro tab are located in the notch. The Velcro tab includes an adhesive tape formed on a first face and a hole defined therein. The sucker comprises a suction cup, a protrusion formed on the back of the suction cup, and an aperture defined in the protrusion. The protrusion is inserted into the hole of the Velcro tab via the first tab. A bar is inserted through the channel of the curtain and the aperture of the sucker. The sucker pivots about the bar enabling a user to select the sucker or the Velcro tab to retain the curtain at a desired position.

Abstract: An auxiliary sun shield for use on a motor vehicle's windshield visor effectively blocks out sun rays which the visor itself is not capable of blocking. The auxiliary sun shield comprises a clip member and a glare reducing polymeric sheet element rotatably mounted on the clip member. The clip member has two elongated legs joined at lower terminuses by a connecting leg. The connecting leg has two opposed side wall recesses. The glare reducing polymeric sheet element is generally rectangular-shaped with a notch in an approximately centered upper edge. The notch is shaped to have two inwardly extending opposed ears. The notch and the opposed ears are dimensioned to fit over the connecting leg of the clip member and extend into the recesses of the connecting leg.

Abstract: A shade assembly for a vehicle windshield includes an axle secured at its ends to two side brackets attachable at the windshield top at two opposite sides of the windshield. The axle is also supported at its middle portion by an intermediate bracket secured to the top of the windshield. Two hollow cylindrical shafts are arranged between the intermediate bracket and the two side brackets, respectively, for rotation about respective sections of the axle. Two flexible shade members made of a tinted and polarized flexible plastic material are secured to the two hollow shafts, respectively, at one of their opposite longitudinal edges so as to be unwound and rewound upon respective rotation of the hollow shafts.
