ABSTRACT:
A visor/windshield assembly for mounting on a vessel and including a movable panel, an elongated rigid member (e.g., hollow tube, solid rod), and plural C-shaped connector/brackets, and mounting devices, e.g., screws and other components. A first group of plural connector/brackets are fixedly secured to the panel at spaced locations therealong to releasably receive, e.g., snap-fit, the rigid member therein. A second group of plural connector/brackets is fixedly secured by the mounting devices to the vessel to releasably receive, e.g., snap-fit, the rigid member therein. The rigid member is formed of a rigid material, e.g., aluminum, to provide rigidity and/or structural stability to the panel. The rigid member is rotatable about its longitudinal axis with respect to the connector/brackets so that the panel is pivotal from a retracted position, to an extended position, with the panel in the extended position being generally in the line of sight of a person on the vessel. The assembly also includes a pair of adjustable holders for selectively holding the panel in the retracted position, the extended position, or in an intermediate position. The panel, the first group of connector/brackets, and the rigid member are arranged to be removed as a unit from the visor/windshield assembly on the vessel.
