ABSTRACT:
This glare-proof shield for the outside rear view mirrors of cars is made by using 6 mm thick piece of frameless metal coated reflective glass such as a glass available in the market having a trade name of SOLARFLEX, which has the property of 8% transmittance to visible light. It is designed to have a five-edged shape like this and about 10 inches.times.10 inches in size (see FIG. 1). Similar to the side windows it is installed within each of the front door frames on the interior side of the window glass near the lower front corner through which the outside rear view mirror is viewed. When in use at night, it is raised into position high enough to shield the outside rear view mirror completely (see FIG. 1). Because the anti-glare glass has the property of 8% transmittance to visible light, about 92% of the reflection which originates from the outside rear view mirror is absorbed and part of the other 8% is also deflected by refraction through the shield before the reflection reaches the eyes, thus safely eliminating nearly all of the glare problems from the rear without reducing the ability to see outside things clearly.
