ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a clear view hard curtain which is comprised of a plurality of separable frames, each frame including at least one semi-rigid clear, flat panel, and a flexible frame surrounding the panel. Each of a plurality of frames may be attachable to a vehicle to thereby form an enclosure protecting the interior of the vehicle from external natural elements. Finally, the enclosure may be maintained during operation of the vehicle with the flexible framing member absorbing shock to the semi-rigid panels which may be caused by the movement of the vehicle. Preferably, the clear view hard curtain may be utilized as a protective enclosure for the bridge of a boat.
