ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a glare shield for motorcycle headlights mountable within an inverted generally U-shaped slot in a transparent fairing placed in front thereof, the shield being characterized by an elongate web of flexible elastic material having a center section bordered on both ends by arcuate pleated sections separating the latter from a pair of identical end sections bearing an acute angular relationship to the center section approaching 90.degree.. The shield also includes an integrally-formed rim on the outside of the web having a more or less H-shaped cross section adapted to be releasably retained in forwardly-facing flush relation within an inverted and recessed U-shaped slot in the fairing that extends along the top of the headlight and down along both sides thereof. The pleats are located on top of the web in upstanding relation thus leaving the underside with flat wedge-shaped surfaces between the pleats that engage the headlight and block most of the reflected light therefrom. The invention also encompasses the improved combination between the shield and fairing that eliminates the need for a detachable insert in the latter while, at the same time, maintaining a smooth uninterrupted aerodynamic surface.
