ABSTRACT:
The accessory carrier is mountable on a window visor of an automobile. The visor has a predetermined thickness and the accessory carrier is a three layer, generally planar, composite carrier having a thickness substantially the same as the visor thickness. One outer layer of the carrier has a longitudinal slot therein through which a tinted, planar viewing screen is laterally extendable. In another embodiment, an opaque sunscreen is stored in the carrier. The viewing screen or sunscreen has opposing sawteeth laterally extending from opposing sides thereof such that the sawteeth interact and coact with the terminal ends of the longitudinal slot of the outer layer of the carrier. The sawteeth provide digital or precise positioning of the screen with respect to the accessory as well as the window visor since the carrier is mounted on the visor itself. The accessory carrier also includes a closeable, longitudinal slot in the opposite outer layer. This layer is normally exposed to the occupant of the automobile. An intermediate layer between the two outer layers divides the interior space of the accessory carrier into two compartments. The closeable longitudinal slot defines a mouth for one interior compartment in the carrier. The tinted viewing screen or sunscreen is disposed in the other compartment formed by the intermediate layer. The accessory carrier is mounted to the window visor by at least one strap large enough to encircle the visor. The carrier also includes pocket flaps on the exposed outer layer which define at least two pockets for the storage of accessories by the occupant. In another embodiment, the viewing screen is replaced with a plurality of dividers. The dividers cooperatively define interior spaces which contain information that they may be useful to an occupant of the automobile. In a further embodiment, the carrier has CD pocket flaps to store CDs.
