ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an vehicle sun visor of the type which is pivotably mounted above the windshield of the vehicle to shade the eye of the driver and passenger from the sun and oncoming vehicle headlights. Conventional vehicle sun visors consist of a single panel which can be pivoted to a position in which some of the rays of the sun are prevented from reaching the eyes of the driver and passenger. Also they are non-transparent. Therefore, they obstruct the view when used in the daytime and they are totally useless for night driving. Accordingly, it has been proposed to provide two pair of semi-flexible light color sight panels which can be pivotably mounted adjacent the windshield of a vehicle and provide complete freedem of adjustability relative to the sun rays and oncoming vehicle headlights at various times of the day and night to shield the eyes of the vehicle driver and passenger.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the invention, the sun visor includes two pair of semi-flexible light color sight panels which are attached to a elongated spring sleeve as by epoxy glue. Said panels clamped at an up turned end of the visor support cylindrical rods securely but yet permits said panels adjustment to suit the viewing needs and pivotably mounted adjacent the windshield of the vehicle. One of the semi-flexible light color panel can be used to shield the eyes of the vehicle operator or passenger from oncoming vehicle headlights or sun rays, another semi-flexible light color sight panel can be used to shield the sun rays or vehicle headlights from side of the vehicle to interfere driver sight and comfortable control vehicle. It is obvious that each panel can be used independently during day or night for driver and passenger to permitting adjustments to suit their viewing needs.
