ABSTRACT:
A shield for facilitating ventilation of the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising a sheet of transparent semi-rigid plastic material with a flange along its upper edge containing sharp rib or barb-like protrusions near the top for fastening the upper edge of the sheet into a window trough, and a curved skirt with a flange extending outwardly from its lower edge. This keeps out rain and snow while allowing air to pass in and out of the vehicle by means of convection currents. The shield is preferably made of flexible material adapted to be cut with scissors to fit any sized window in the vehicle.
In one embodiment, the flange along the upper edge is U-shaped, and flat along the top. A plurality of small metal T-shaped locks are permanently held in the flat top to lock the device into a window trough upon rotation of the locks. This embodiment also includes a row of louvered openings spaced-apart along its length to allow air to pass in and out of the vehicle.
In another embodiment, the top edge has a slight inward bend with sharp ribs and is held in place in the window trough by a sponge-rubber cord. The louvers are also eliminated in this embodiment, which instead accommodates an inwardly-directed half-round sponge-rubber cord near its flanged lower end, which acts as a seal and anti-vibrator against the outer face of the window, when raised.
