ABSTRACT:
A removable, flexible, easily stored, combination privacy/sunscreen for use on the windshield and adjacent side windows of a recreational vehicle to limit light and outside viewing into the vehicle while permitting outside viewing from inside the vehicle. A sheet of flexible cloth material is shaped to fit over the outside of the windshield and adjacent side windows of the vehicle and includes means for releasably attaching the sheet to the vehicle in the above-described position. The sheet is of a non-woven material and comprises a plurality of closely spaced rows disposed on and bonded to a plurality of columns with the rows and columns disposed at right angles to one another and offset from one another. The material forming the rows is thicker and closer spaced than the material forming the columns and, further, forms a tortuous path for the passage of light therethrough which limits the maximum light passage area of the sheet to less than 30%. The preferred combination screen has a center portion for fitting over the windshield of the vehicle and a pair of outer portions attached to and carried by the center portion for fitting over vehicle side windows adjacent the windshield with the rows of the outer portions being angled with respect to the rows of the center portion such that the rows and columns of all the portions are disposed horizontally and vertically, respectively, when the screen is in use.
