ABSTRACT:
A magnetic sun visor attachment apparatus for a motor vehicle comprises three different magnetic attachment devices and at least one magnetically attractable bent metal shield for magnetic attachment onto the devices. The three attachment devices are, first, at least one U-shaped magnet-bearing clamp which is movably and removably clamped onto the conventional main sun visor, second, at least one magnet-bearing flat support which is affixed, as by pressure-sensitive adhesive tape, onto the side window frame or similar upper interior surface of a vehicle and, third, at least one magnet-bearing V-shaped bent plate which is affixed, as by a hook and pile fastener, onto the dashboard. The bent metal shield serves as a sun visor, i.e., to block the sun's rays whether the sun's rays are seen directly or by reflection, and is movable with respect to the magnets so as to provide wide ranges of blocking areas. The bent metal shield is bent along a line near one edge so that a major shield surface is provided at an angle to the bend, permitting the operator to choose two different shield angles for maximizing the sun shielding effect. The dashboard mounted plate is bent to a suitable angle such that the shield mounted thereon just blocks the reflection of sunlight from the front part of the vehicle.
