ABSTRACT:
A new and improved windshield protection apparatus includes a ground-supported base. A height adjusting assembly is connected to the ground-supported base. A transverse support assembly is connected to the height adjusting assembly. A windshield-contacting protective member is connected to the transverse support assembly, and a tilt adjustment assembly is connected to the windshield-contacting protective member, for adjusting a tilt of the windshield-contacting protective member with respect to an automobile windshield. The windshield protection apparatus is supported independently of the automobile. The windshield-contacting protective member includes a contour that is complementary to a contour of the automobile windshield. The windshield-contacting protective member is rigidly attached to the transverse support assembly, and the transverse support assembly is attached to the height adjusting assembly with a swivel connection. The ground-supported base may include a hollow interior chamber defined by a housing. The housing includes a filler aperture and a cap for the filler aperture. The hollow interior chamber contains a quantity of a ballast material for weighing down the ground-supported base. To use the apparatus, an automobile is driven toward the apparatus so the automobile windshield comes into contact with the independently supported windshield-contacting protective member. To separate from the windshield-contacting protective member 18, the automobile is merely driven in reverse.
